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 :)

    • Exactly. They won't go 100 because current gen consoles are simply too old for any groundbreaking graphics or gaming experience otherwise. They will go with standard (console) price 70 or go with 80 if they really want to go premium. Of course they will have more expensive options too with some useless cosmetics as always.
    • Doesn’t surprise me at all. God is light & He gave us life so it sounds almost logical that we would therefore emit a certain amount of light.
    • This is what I want. Hey Gemini, how do I remove you from all my google products permanently?
    • I would never install install this build before rtm process. only 3 months to go. never install on your daily devices. just wait 3 months.
    • Motrix Next 3.9.6 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.6 changelog: New Features Clipboard management — App-owned copy actions no longer trigger the Add Task auto-detect popup. aria2 input compatibility — Multi-line aria2-style task input is supported for URLs with per-task options such as out=. BitTorrent IPv6 DHT — Added IPv6 DHT support and related configuration. File category URL patterns — File category rules can match URL patterns with validation and localized hints. Task status tags — Added clearer waiting and sharing states for task cards. Download event bridge — Added an aria2 WebSocket event bridge for faster download notifications. Improvements Improved task list transitions and preserved task state during tab switches. Kept RPC origin access enabled for local integrations.
