	Hi all. Next October Microsoft will start windows 8. Any windows xp, with service pack 3, may be changed to this new system with 40 dollars. Did you have more information than me about GPU performance under this new operating system ? My test on windows 7 (with same WU) with old Nvidia GTS 450 was underperforming. Will be the same on windows 8 ? Thanks in advance for your help. k. ____________ Dreams do not always come true. But not because they are too big or impossible. Why did we stop believing.

	Last time I tested W8 and Boinc, I was not able to run GPU tasks. ____________ FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help

	I have not been having issues with running tasks under windows 8 until the recent app update which is now causing the NVidia driver to crash and blue screen.
