why windows 8

I guess Mantle, BF4 and windows 8 might be a winner for Microsoft then
I for one are looking forward Mantle to eventually go amd 8core set up.
that I am considering that, shows amd is doing things right for me as a gamer.
Awful blog post / link. It claims that BF4 will be more optimised on PC and XBO than PS4 because W8 / XBO fully support DX11.1 (and .2 already in the case of the latter) and PS4 doesn't.



Anyway, if you have an AMD GCN GPU you'll be using Mantle in future, which completely cuts out DX entirely, so Windows version won't matter.
