Ive had one crash since the latest patch much better than the 1 in 3 game crashes before.

FYI I got around to installing the windows 8.1 preview. It runs BF4 a hundred times better. I went from having min frame rates of 20 at medium settings to min frame rates of 70 at full ultra. Using the beta drivers (I had also tried the 320 drivers in windows 7). My system is a 3770k and SLI 680's.
What else is it good for?Glad to see you have joined us! Windows 8.1 is just perfect for BF4 !

I have to say windows 8 is total garbage though. I've been using computers since I was 4 years old and I can't figure out how to minimize, maximize, close windows, see whats running, etc. It's the most absurdly unintuitive shit OS I've ever seen. And I use an IBM z9 mainframe at work! That really says something... Microsoft managed to design an OS even worse than this:

its not them its you
no shortcuts or anything changed man

You just completely discouraged me from trying Win8 for BF4, lol. Even if I could get 20 more fps.
What are you talking about, everything has changed. There is no minimize, maximize, or close buttons on windows any more. And apparently the only way to launch applications is to go to the metro interface and type in the name of the app to search. And if you don't know the exact name, you have to go google it to figure it out! For instance, I was trying to get to the sound settings app. I forgot it was called "manage audio properties" and not sound settings so it took me 15 minutes to figure out how to find it.
I have to use task manager to switch between apps on a normal basis? Seriously?
The free trial works until January but I'll be really pissed if the Windows 8 performance continues to be significantly superior by then, requiring me to pay $200 for this turd of an OS. What was Microsoft thinking? I mean what the fuck? lol.

I get an average of 50 FPS @ 1080p on Ultra settings on my 3570K with single 670GTX on WINDOWS 7 on the nVidia beta 331.40 drivers..FYI I got around to installing the windows 8.1 preview.

Can you please stop scaring the n00bs into thinking they need windows 8?
That pretty much sums up what Ive heard from just about everyone who has tried it.Keeping my Win ME and win Vista cds comfy in the closet with other wasted purchases.

Yeah skippy, it runs fine for the most part...
