    I have an MSi Ge70 0ND UK. This is a gaming laptop and therefore has a Turbo boost that activates when I open a game - it clocks the processor up to 2.4 Ghz I believe. The problem I have here that Windows 8.1 completely breaks this and if I launch a game for example Minecraft, it runs at 30...

    Windows 7 Latency/framerate lag spike every 30 seconds

    I've been ignoring this problem for several months, but now I'm just about fed up. Basically, every 30 seconds some sort of FPS lag spike will happen, and it'll last for about 2-3 seconds.

    Windows 7 Want a new video card, but will it even help improve anything?

    I posted a little bit ago, but no one replied so I think no one knows lol. Basically, Windows 7 has downgraded gaming performance from XP. However, this might be caused by my card now using DX 10 instead of DX 9...I don't know. Even when I force DX 9 it still isn't as smooth though. Windows...
