Problem with video games

Question

Sign in to vote

Hi all,

I have a problem with video games on Windows 8.1.

On my Windows 7 I could play all games without any problems.

Now I installed Windows 8.1 and I have problems with running video games: lower FPS, game breakdowns and sometimes even texture problems inside the game.

I tried to reinstall both Windows and Graphic drivers. I tried several versions of drivers.

I have Radeon HD 6870 and AMD Phenom II X4 955, SSD disk, 12 GB RAM.

The point is: the same games works perfect on Windows 7 but doesn't work right on Windows 8.1.

Can you, please, tell me if is there any other solution except going back to Windows 7 ?

Hi,

Try running the games in Compatibility Mode for Windows 7.

Hope this helps.

It doesn't help at all. Everything is the same.

Hi,

Please verify if these games are compatible with Windows 8.1.

If yes, please download and install the proper version of game file and driver.
