Hi,
Ive got a couple of questions about my 280x i was hoping i could get them answered here.
If i watch a video or have any kind of animation on my second monitor(60hz) and play a game in full screen windowed on the my main 144hz monitor i get very bad stuttering a tearing. The only way to fix it is to use it in full screen mode but then alt-tabbing is not possible.

Do i have a bad luck with the card if it crashes even if i apply 5mhz overclock on either memory or gpu clock? I tried to move the clock and memory speed by the smallest increment and i get artefacts and crashes. On defaults settings i do get some flickering and artefacts but its not that noticeable (a couple an hour lets say)

Lastly, if i get a chance to sell the card and have a budget of 150£ on top, which would get me a 970 at most, is it worth it to upgrade?
 
I dont like bumping threads, but could someone actually help with the stuttering issue when playing a game on the main monitor and watching a video/any kind of animation on the second?
