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 :)

    • Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.
    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
