Who is using Win 8.1? How did it go? : Othor Games

» Thu Mar 27, 2014 5:56 am

I got a new SSD, my OCZ vertex's are showing their age. Maybe it is time to bite the bullet and go with Windows 8.1. How is ESO running on it?

I have a 4770k and 2-7970's.

Same as window 8, maybe a few FPS more.

Worked fine for me on a Samsung Pro 840 series SSD on a 3770K with a GTX680 classified.

I just installed 8.1 running the same CPU as you, and 2x780ti's. Guess we find out sunday! haha.

Hopefully they have full screen enabled by then.

Received my reply in regards to SLI support today,

"Good Afternoon! Thank you for getting in touch with the Elder Scrolls Online Support Team!

At the moment, ESO is currently not yet optimized. This means that we currently do not support SLI or Crossfire video card setups. As we get closer to the release of the game, we'll determine the hardware specifications as well as various setups such as SLI. For now, we are more focused on testing the gameplay than the visuals and hardware requirements.

We appreciate your concern, and hope you'll stick with us as we continue to develop our game to match other hardware! At the current moment, you should be able to run on Ultra with no issues on a single moderate to high-end video card.

Thank you for your continued interest and support!"

They should read what they say more, true full screen at launch, means sli/xfire will atleast function

Running Windows 8.1 with a Triple monitor set up here.. No problems here, in fact its AWESOME !

A lot of the crashes seemed to be fixed last beta anyway

I will never install win 8, I will wait for windows 9 (if its good) or I may install STEAM OS / lynux if its supported

They gave me this reply a month ago. Literally, word for word. That is an automated response.

I wish I had just bought another OEM copy of windows 7 64bit. Windows 8.1 runs games fine but the UI is about as intuitive as OS2warp. Seriously I have a tablet, I do not need my gaming rig to look like a tablet as well.

No one claimed full-screen at launch. We just went over this in the other thread.

Totally agree with you.

Mines still at 8, not bothered to upgrade it (if you can call it that) to 8.1 yet.

No problems running ESO with Windows 8.1. All smooth and good for me.
