    Windows 10 Program Minimize problem

    Hi there, when I have a program maximized then go to open another program from the taskbar, as soon as I move the mouse off the taskbar, it closes the one I just opened and back to the original program. This only happens when the program I open is not maximized (Hope this makes sense). So my...

    1070 or 1080?

    Think to yourself, do you really need it. I find the 970 is holding up quite nicely so I'm waiting for the next generation of cards. If not, the 1070 is a good shout, wouldn't go for the 1080 but rather the 1080ti as it's a pretty significant performance boost

    Windows 7 is extremely slow

    If your RAM is always full then you probably have a lot of programs running in the background. Go to the control panel and uninstall the ones you do not use. Then press the windows start button, type system configuration, go to the startup tab, untick all the programs you do not use. This will...

    Monitor showing lines and black screen pop ups

    Is it worth Upgrading to GTX 970 Now?

    You would see a performance change, yes, but not that much I'd imagine. Probably the difference between running the game at medium - high @ 60 fps / high - very high @ 60 fps. If you're desperate, I'd say go for it only if you can sell your 960 at a decent price, or even go for SLI 960 if you...
