Title: Windows 7 or Windows 8?? Any experiences?
Post by: bvault on January 15, 2014, 06:01:26 AM
I am planning to build a scrypt miner with AMD R9 280s or 270s.

I am trying to decide between win7 and win8. Someone reported better "efficiency" with win8 on his blog while I read elsewhere that there is much difference.

Any experiences? thoughts?
