Is it my hardware? All my games LAG!


Recommended Posts

It's an HP. I just bought this PC about 2 months ago.

Model?

You probably don't want to open up your PC because its new in which case your...

That and the fact its likely to have a 350W PSU (power supply unit) to power a new GPU to run you new monitor.

It was like 1300 with the monitor. Where the hell can i see the model??

I just opened it up and there is one slot opened. I have no idea what it is for there is only one tho. Is it for a ram stick a graphics card or it does not matter?

Hmmm, 1300 for that spec? who sold you it? it sounds like you have been ripped off.

Is the slot Horizontal or vertical? and yes it does matter.

I bought my monitor 600 dollars. It's huge and one of the best. Can I change my GPU what is recommended? How much do they cost?

LOL uuhhh.... that better not be USD - and if you spent $1300 in USD on that system -- MAN HAVE I GOT A DEAL FOR YOU!

Q9450

4 Gb PC8500 HYPER X

VELOCIRAPTOR 300 Gb BOOT DRIVE

1 Tb SPINPOINT

X-Fi

BFG 260GTX OC

PCP&C 1KW

ALL FOR THE BARGAIN PRICE OF $10,000 !!!

JUST IN TIME FOR SANTA - I'll even take a check from your parents...well no I wont

Here are some pictures from inside the PC. For the power unit all I can see it 160 watts since its a really small PC everything is stacked in. Will that do for a graphics card the open slot?

To everyone & DannyD ...forget it sorry but thats it. :no:

Your integrated GPU (Nvidia GeForce 6150SE) is almost identical to mine (Nvidia GeForce 6150LE). It wasn't very good due to the fact that it was an integrated GPU; it shares resources with the CPU causing CPU loads to increase and overall performance to decrease.

My solution to the problem was buying a 8500GT, although it is no longer a good video card, it is a hell of a lot better than that 6150, and it is only around 30-40 bucks. (check TigerDirect.com)

I bought my monitor 600 dollars. It's huge and one of the best. Can I change my GPU what is recommended? How much do they cost?

you paid $600 for a monitor at 1440x900? :|

you paid $1300 for this system :|

take it back... ripped off.

that case is really too small to handle a modern GPU.... and 160W is way too little to power one.

sorry man, you got ripped off.

i think if you bought it 2 months ago, you're out of luck with the taking it back

if you want to play games and not get ripped off with the 'gaming' computers that manufacturers sell (blue flasy lights etc) i heartily recommending sourcing your own parts and building it yourself

It sucks that generally, you always buy one or two overpriced PC's from a company like HP or shops like Best Buy before you realize your getting ripped off. Hopefully this time you'll actually know what to look out for, OR at least have some idea with a little help from the people here :)

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
