Which Component Are You Currently Unhappy With?

Joe42 · 30 Jun 2006 at 15:32

Its all about bottlenecks and balance.

For me its probably the graphics card, which is a generation behind everything else really, its a 6800gt and most modern dual core systems have 7 series cards. I'm not replacing it until i need to tho.

Although its not a component as such, my monitors are the most under invested part really, costing £5 for both of them. Thats why i'm upgrading them.

I have to game on a Celeron D, 2.53GHz. 'Nuff said really. :eek:

Strangly enough, coupled with a 9800pro it's not actually as horrific as you might imagine. Just finished FEAR recently and had it run quite nice on mediumish. Oblivion is a bit of a slideshow in several places but I can't bear to turn off Distant Lands - it looks so lovely!

The cheap crappy ram.

My Geforce 6200, overclock it and gain an extra frame per second, still it plays every game I have thrown at it (obviously not with AA and AF at full) good thing im mostly into vintage games

Unhappy with the fact i've bought; Vf900 cps9500 and a load of ambers to quieten my rig, yet I can still hear it with my headphones on... so basically my case is too loud

The graphics card, hard drive and the noise.

Hlebio · 30 Jun 2006 at 19:17

NEC DVD-RW, noisey as hell tbh.

If it counts, don't particularly like my case either. Fingerprints and dirt shows up on it like a sore thumb and I'm a neat freak so I find myself spending more time cleaning it up than I do actually using the computer.

dont find anything wrong with mine part from the nb fan so noisy on my expert bord. Havent got around to fitting the zalman passive north bridge i got. Im just thinking of watercooling it now tho

Joe42 · 30 Jun 2006 at 22:22

Those of you with noise problems should start a thread on it sometime, i'm sure we can help you sort it out providing your willing to spend a little money on it.

My X-Fi Sound card, which makes Music sound crap due to annoying crackling on higher frequencies on my very good Aego Ms.

Everything is rubbish. Computers suck.

my ati 9700 graphics card.

Doesn't seem to want to render 3d objects anymore and blue screens instead

I, on the other hand, wish I had waited and gotten one of the x1900xt's that are currently £260 instead of spending £190 on my x1800xt.
