AMD was having some issues with some games and frames hitting a rendering spike, this has been addressed and the most recent drivers helps it a lot. They have also stated that they are looking at this and will continue to optimize this with each release.
I haven't had any problems playing games on windows 8. The new 13.2 beta drivers do have some latency issues that have been looked at, not sure if for windows 8 specifically though:
