Visual difference in games win7 vs win8?

[R3X]

Any visual difference in the latest games like BF4 using windows 8 over windows 7?

I would prefer to stick with windows 7 but do not wish to miss out!

When DX11.2+ arrives in games I think its Win8 (could be wrong) only but games in general run faster in Win 8 but for some reason some benches are slower.


EDIT : Microsoft confirms DirectX 11.2 is a Windows 8.1, Xbox One exclusive.

thanks so I take it I won't see any difference in say shadows and reflections and in game visuals of say Battlefield 4 while using windows 7 over 8?

As jh30uk says, visual effects are probably down to the version of DX (or whatever renderer) rather than the OS.

There are good performance improvements on Windows 8 over 7 though.
