Is it my hardware? All my games LAG!

Umm, it will not fit. Maybe if you cut out a slot in the back of your computer and leave the side of the case off...it might (if your power supply can handle it at all).

I had a full size card in my Shuttle, it fit.

^^ Your shuttle case was not low profile...again, look at the pics he posted. The DVD drive is barely above the motherboard and at the edge of the case, so that means only low profile cards will work. Search newegg for low profile video card and buy something like this:

You get the idea...

Holy crap, it really is 160W, just checked it (http://h20141.www2.hp.com/hpparts/Search_Multi_Product.asp?mscssid=45A3473F4A794A81915ABC67D1336635&SearchCriteria=~PAVILION~~SLIMLINE~S352).

I hate to say it, but if you live in the USA and paid $1300 for that computer 2 months ago then you got played.

For now, just get the 9500, also, if your monitor is 22" then 1680x1050 is the native resolution and the resolution you should use.

If it doesn't, you already have a video card to go with your new build :D

That's why I recommended him the EVGA card for that 90 step-up program. If Danny does not like the outcome, he can build a new computer and upgrade his video card with minimal loss of funds.

It should be here on the 2nd. Will update everyone soon!

Danny I tell you what If that card does not fit in your system PM me and I will send a Geforce 8400 GS I have laying around (with the low profile adapter) for free just send me the shipping cost back after you get the card and it works.

Hope it works out for you!

^^ How do you know it is not a low profile card they include in the system? It is virtually impossible to have a "slimline" PC that does not require low profile add-on cards. It's a simple matter of the height of the add-on card and the bracket it uses.

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?

Look for a slot that looks like the bottom one in this picture: http://img.tomshardware.com/cn/newsimages/...ic-agp-pcie.jpg

That's a PCI Express slot and you'll need it for any modern video card. It's possible that your computer doesn't have a video slot. I bought an HP Media Center PC once that only had on-board video and no PCI-E slot. It went straight back to the store. ;)

Often a slim-line case will have a daughterboard that the expansion cards plug into so they can lay horizontally.

Where do you see a vertical expansion slot in the case that allows the connectors to be used in the back? Even if there was one, his heatsink or dvd drive would block anything from being put in it.

Well it seems something like that does not exist a connector. I guess I will have to return it ;(

As I said, multiple times before, you need a low profile video card. Search newegg for "low profile video card" and find one that is PCIe and has the GPU of your choice.

I am shocked how everybody here just blindly kept saying it will fit...if you don't know what you are talking about, don't post. Assumption != Fact. This is becoming very annoying on Neowin, and happens in all forums involving help and support.

Yes when you told me it was too late, but I contacted Newegg and I am returning the card now and they will give me a full refund.

Danny, sorry about that. I thought the side of the card would be fine for your case. I've done upgrades in many different styles of cases, and never had to use a low-pro card. My bad. :blush:

Are you over 21? I should send you a 6 pack.

EDIT:

I've been looking at prices for the low profile cards and they're such a rip off. I mean, for about 300-400 bucks (maybe less if you part out the computer you're using now) you could have a whole new computer that could take a full size video card and have the power supply to feed the hungry beast.

Any of the low profile cards that will give you a nice jump in performance also require a 300 watt PSU. So if you got a card with lower requirements, it wouldn't be worth the money spent to upgrade. I would really think about building a new computer if you're looking to play games. It's just not worth the money to get a card that's not going to be much better than what you're using now.

Yes I am over 21 :) :). Well its not for games I do other things I just play games from time to time thats why. O well it doesnt matter now I will return it and forget about it. Thanks for the help.

    • 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?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
    • 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.
