Any change in the new consumer preview?
Also How does it handle SC2, FPS the same?

I've got significant fps increase in Win8 CP.
At first noticed it visualy, after i benchmarked with fraps, replay scene with high ling count, 3 minutes test lenght.
Win7 Ultimate ~ 34.3fps
Win8 CP ~ 41 fps , which is about 20% better result.
Test system is laptop Acer aspire 5750zg (Intel P. B940, gf 540m, 6GB RAM).
Can anyone else confirm better performance in windows 8?

Maybe its because you have less things clogging your memory and cpu since its a newly installed OS, or have you tried it on a fresh Win7 as well? I'm curious to see if Win8 increases performance.

Hello guys,
I did not encounter these scrolling problems ImmortalTofu had when running my Starcraft II in full screen on Windows 8.
I had my Starcraft II installed on Windows 7 and copied to Windows 8 like described in Transferring Starcraft 2 to a new computer.

This thread is over a year old... obviously Windows 8 will have fewer problems than the alpha...
