 Virgin disk C after Installation. Enterprise 64 bit takes about 11 GB.  Control Panel almost virgin (realtek lol). Enterprise has windows to go. I didn't test it though. I need a bigger flash drive.

Just a heads up for you guys running BF3,I found out this morning that the screen would just go black,So i reinstalled the DX from the install folder ,And it is now working,I think when you install games if the installer runs DX setup for it you have to keep installing it (BF3 one)which is the newest one.But every game needs to run or install some dll file for itself and it breaks the one for BF3.
Also there is some visal c+++ 08-10 updates for Win8 today. office14 installed no problem,Just waiting for the 30+ updates.......... Crap Of Duty 2 works,had to validate the files and it installed some missing ones  My first run of Vantage in performance mode Graphics Card Graphics Card AMD Radeon HD 6970 Vendor Advanced Micro Devices Inc. # of cards 2 SLI / CrossFire On Memory 3072 MB Core clock 880 MHz Memory clock 1375 MHz Driver name Driver version 8.982.0.0 Driver status FM Approved Processor Processor AMD Phenom II X4 965 Processor clock 3812 MHz Physical / logical processors 1 / 4 # of cores 4 General Operating system 64-bit Windows 8 (6.2.9200) Motherboard ASUSTeK Computer INC.

So has anyone noticed any FPS increase with something like BF3 or is it about the same as Windows 7?

You can add me to the list. However you might have to start a new category as I am rocking it on my Laptop with Windows 8 Enterprise Retail!!!
Yep, it is not the trial, RTM, or an OEM version. This is the real deal. :-)

Reason why I posted the 3dmark11 result was it actually scored about 300 points higher then under Win7,For some reason though 3dMark website lost all my old results(up until 12.6 cats remember they have been beta since)Shame too is I think my highest run was 17081-17145 Under 3dmark11 in Win7. Okay I just found my old results and the 3dMArk11 score1 is win7 and Score 2 is Win8(boy I had vantage and 11 mixed up lol My bad ) 3dMark11 score s Result details Score 1 P7954 3DMarks Score 2 P7857 3DMarks Its about 95-98 points behind with gen1 cats.So in about 2-3 months it has potential to increase. Okay here is Vantage Score1 is Win8 and score2 Win7,I do have a Win7 22751 score but It shows my cards were over clocked.The 21912 is with stock clocks. Score 1 P22017 3DMarks Score 2 P21912 3DMarks Again it seems as if the cats under Win8 are not up to par.Maybe you green users will have better results .

My Dad bought a new HP PC that came with Windows 8 upgrade for 14.99, he doesn't plan to upgrade, so I registered my email to be notified when the 14.99 upgrade is ready. Hopefully it will work on my PC, $25 saved would be nice.
I think I will just do a complete re-install with Win8 whenever that 14.99 upgrade becomes available, to avoid any issues. |

those upgrade disks still need to find the old setup.exe to prove you have an old Windows ver?I remember my 98 upgrade would need me to put the 95 cd or disk1 from 3.11 Work groups. in and it would let me do a clean install.

Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, and Mafia 2 bench comparison
So I ran the benchmark for HL2: Lost Coast and Mafia 2 and did a comparison between Windows 7 and 8. Here's the test parameters and benchmark results (note that the Mafia 2 benchmark recognizes Windows 8 as Windows 7 Business):
Test Setup Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pro Intel Core i5 M 540 - 2.53GHz 8GB DDR3 1066MHz RAM nVidia GeForce 330m GT 256MB 750GB WD Caviar Black HDD Widows 7 Ultimate and Windows 8 pro - both 64bit Windows 7 video drivers: 304.79 Windows 8 video drivers: 304.79 tl;dr Windows 7 Half-Life 2: Lost Coast - 113.89 fps Windows 8 Half-Life 2: Lost Coast - 111.16 fps Windows 7 Mafia 2 - 12.1 fps Windows 8 Mafia 2 - 12.1 fps I ran the Mafia 2 benchmark in both Windows 7 and Windows 8 three times, but got the same result each time which was very weird. Settings for Half-Life 2: Lost Coast   Half-Life 2: Lost Coast Windows 7 Results  Half-Life 2: Lost Coast Windows 8 Results  Settings for Mafia 2  Mafia 2 Windows 7 Results  Mafia 2 Windows 8 Results
