[GeForce PCe] MSI NX6600GT PCi-e ?

Hi there,
I have 2 MSI NX6600GT 128 running in SLi mode. When I goto use MSI Turbo Experience it comes up with a screen that says:
"MSIVGA.ocx initialization error". I have 71.84 drivers and all other drivers are installed. It also happened with the 66.93 drivers that came on the CD and so I updated. I contacted MSI and they told me to read the forums here as there most likely would be a solution. I built this system from the ground up myself. I have had no troubles with it. I can play games like MVP2005 and Doom3 with no probs. But sometimes when I goto load up a saved game playing Silent Hunter 3 starts to initialize then goes to the desktop (this has happened very rarely). I haven't overclocked anything I won't be doing that. I only have a few games installed as I am taking things slowly. My GPU temps are 48c idle and after playing Doom 3 for about an hour are 60c. CPU is 35c and case temp is 43c. I have a 120mm fan blowing in from the front and 2 80mm fans exhausting. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
System specs:
MSI NEO4 Platinum SLI mobo
AMD64 3500+ 512K 90nm cpu
2x MSI NX6600GT TD128e vid cards (SLI mode)
4x 512mb Kingmax SuperRam Dual Channel(2gig)
450 watt PS 22amps on the 12v rail
Super Tanlent Dual fan memory cooler
2x 200gb WD SE 8mb HDD's (IDE)
2x Memorex DVD 16x burners
2x CoolDrive 3 for HDD's
19" Sceptre LCD monitor
if I forgot anything sorry

Kick MSI Turdo Experience to the curb (get rid of it)
It's more of a sales gimmick, then really being usefull in most cases.
If it continues, you may want to start all over from scratch and get the latest drivers here nVidia Drivers
I always avoid drivers on the CD at all costs and the manufacturer's drivers as well. Unless of course there is a known problem or issue that mandates use of the manufacturer's drivers. Otherwise, always get the latest drivers from the chipset vendor.
Also, a bit tedious is trolling forums for any clues as to what everone else is using without issue, you'll at least have an educated head start.

[GeForce PCe] MSI 6800GT PCIe overclocking blocked HELP!!!!

I have 2 MSI 6800 GT in SLI mode. I tried to overclock them but the clock seems blocked: when I use Riva Tuner or the driver's control panel and I try to overclock it says me that driver has not passed the test; so I tried to downclock them but it says me the same thing... I tried to do that with many driver versions (71.22,71.84,77.76,77.77) but the result was the same.
My hardware configuration is:
-DFI Lanparty Nf4 SLI-Dr
-AMD Athlon 64 4000
-2*512 MB RAM Kingstone ultra low latency ddr 400
-Maxtor Diamond Max 10 300 GB SATA
-Enermax Noisetaker 600W
I have windows xp professional corporate service pack 1
How can I do to unlock them?

As for overclocking you can use and or try COOL BITS
May be the car needs replacement wheels ?

[GeForce 6] MSI NX6600GT, no boot with KM400 board.

Three days ago I bougt a MSI NX6600GT VTD128 Videocard. Unfortonately I am not able to boot at all with my KM400 mainboard with the VIA chipset. On advice I found on the internet I bought a more powerfull 420 Watt PSU wich did not solve the problem.
When turning on the power all fans and drives come up, but the only LED what's on is the HDD LED wich is constantly on. Not even the powerLED comes on and I don't even get a POST. When replacing the 6600 by my older Radeon 9200SE everything is working allright. I played around with my BIOS settings such as AGP drinving control and 4X, 8X, but nothing seems to help. Finally I begin to doubt if my 6600 card is compatible with my KM400 board.
Can anybody help me what to do else?

Hmm...thought u had a MSI KM400
Try tis bunch of changes in BIOS:
AGP voltage: 1,6v
Fast-write (if it's there): Off
AGP speed: 4x
Be sure to disable the onboard !!!
I can only change the AGP drive control. I tried B9h, CCh, DCh. Non of them with succes. I cannot find the AGP voltage in my AwardBIOS. I also cannot see an option to disable the onboard.

[GeForce 6] MSI NX6600GT GC

Using Microsoft Flight Simulator (FS9) with MSI nx6600gt GC cause problems.
If I want to use fsnavigator with fs9 I have to set the drivers to force 8*S AA and 16* AF. Fsnavigator works properly but now FS9 doesn't show any picture for the selected aircraft (only a black picture)
But when I run FS9 with MSI FX5200 everything is all right and when I use NX6600GT i have the problem.
Could someone tell me why? The problem may come from the card itself ?
Any help would be much appreciated.

monicatang,
It could be a Driver issue, try the latest DirectX and the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers
Take Care,
Richard

[GeForce PCe] MSI GeForce NX7800GTX VIVO questions

Hey all! I currently own a MSI 6600GT (128MB version) PCIe graphics card, and I was considering purchasing the 7800GTX sometime within the next six months to get the most out of my games.
I've seen that the 7800GTX has VIVO capabilities, and I've searched MSI's site as well as other sites trying to get more details, but I haven't been able to find any. I also use my computer to run a small digital video editing business, and I've got an upcoming project to convert many VHS tapes to DVD. I've used my Pinnacle MovieBox DV (connected via firewire) to do this in the past, but since it's not very reliable I was thinking using VIVO of the 7800GTX might work better. From what I understand, I could hook up a VCR to either the composite video in or S-video in to convert the VHS to digital video.
So if anyone out there has used the video-in VIVO features, could you give me some details as to how it works? Does the card include MSI software to capture video via VIVO? Can I capture video as an uncompressed AVI or a DV AVI? Would it be possible to capture video-in directly from Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5?
If anyone can help me out, I'd surely appreciate it. If these things are possible, I'll prolly go on ahead and buy the NX7800GTX. My Pinnacle MovieBox is supposedly "prosumer", but it really blows. It locks up all the time, and then I have to start it over. With all the VHS tapes I'll be converting, I don't have time for that!

The latter information about cards having different chips is unrelated to your problems. I have a sticky addressing the Pipline/Chip issue.
You can posts links, there is no restriction currently that I am aware of at this time. However, there have been discussions relating to new users and imposing a restriction until a post count has been reached.
As for your problem, provided your BIOS settings are correct, and you are using the latest nVidia Drivers this isn't something I've seen yet. If you could post some screenshots, that also might be helpful.
Please, also enter your profile settings, and put your hardware listing as a signature in the event this thread becomes lengthy, users wont have to go to the top or previous page to see your hardware.
Have you tried swapping the cards to see if the behavior changes? And to possibly expose a problem with one particular card?
Have you looked or posted in the nVidia forums?
Hopefuly someone will come along that's seen this or is aware of this. Perhaps it's just a driver setting somewhere. As you can see, without me actually seeing it, I'm guessing.

i installed Nvidia 64 bit drivers but i still run at 32 bit anyone now how to fix plz ??

Filip,
Set your Desktop to 16bit color. There is nothing on your desktop in 32 bit color. All it does is slow your comp down. Remember that when you play a game your comp is still rendering your desktop in the background, and 32bit color uses more CPU cycles then 16bit color.
Richard
P.S. The color setting of your desktop has nothing to do with the color settings of your game.

If the game is using a profile that uses SFR the screen is split in two horizontally ... pls see below
Single frame rendering
Single frame rendering (SFR) mode in NVIDIA SLI works similarly to Metabyte’s PGC in the sense that the graphics card splits the workload horizontally across the screen. One card takes the upper portion while the second card takes the lower segment. The frame buffer data is then combined and sent to the monitor.
It’s important to note that SFR doesn’t necessarily split the screen directly down the middle; in some scenes the lower portion of the screen may be more complex than the upper portion, or vice versa. NVIDIA has developed custom load-balancing algorithms that are designed to take this into account, and split the screen appropriately – if one GPU takes longer to render, no problem, the driver just gives that GPU less work to do.
Alternate frame rendering
Up to now, ATI’s Rage Fury MAXX was arguably the most well known card to take advantage of alternate frame rendering. Rather than splitting the work up every frame like in SLI, with AFR, each graphics core handled alternate frames. Graphics core one would handle everything in frame 1, while graphics core two would then handle frame number 2. Each chip renders every other frame instead of alternating lines in the same frame, as 3dfx had done with scan-line interleave. If one GPU doesn’t finish drawing its frame, the remainder is pushed to the second GPU. This is the same concept NVIDIA has employed for their SLI technology, only we’re dealing with two distinct graphics cards, rather than two graphics cards on the same core.
The most well known downside with AFR has been perceived “lag” that may be felt by some twitch players in very fast-paced first-person shooters such as Quake 1 or Quake 3. The argument is that user inputs, such as a quick flick of your wrist to nail your opponent in mid-air with your rail gun may feel lagged. In theory, this could happen when the second AFR scenario we described occurs – GPU1 doesn’t finish its frame and the remainder is passed to GPU2 – there could be a lag between the key being pressed and the output being shown on the screen. Ironically enough, NVIDIA used this same argument to tout their GeForce 256 over Rage Fury MAXX five years ago.
We played a little Half-Life 2 (which uses AFR by default) to test out this theory, but didn’t perceive any additional lag during our “testing” sessions. Buffering kicks in when data is split between GPUs, and it appears to work well. Also keep in mind that today’s shooters aren’t as fast-paced as they were a few years ago.
Currently, AFR is NVIDIA’s preferred mode for SLI. In general, AFR uses less communications overhead (as no communications overhead between GPUs is used as long as frames are contained to each GPU), allowing it to scale better than SFR. NVIDIA also says that applications with heavy vertex loads benefit less from SFR.

URGENT HELP: PC can't post after Bios Update on MSI NX6600GT-VTD128

The LiveBIOS utility on my PC showed that there was an updated BIOS of my MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 that I was using and I proceeded to update using the facility.
Everything seem fine until the system was rebooted, now the system refuse to post. All I see when I power on the system is a moment of power (e.g. I can see the lights on my keyboard and card reader), before they also disappear.
My system is a P4 2.4 Northwood running on a MSI 875P. I had already cleared the CMOS on my motherboard but it didn't help. I would appreciate greatly for any advice.

Common mistake.
Unfortunately, the cure is likely to be painful.
Did you disable your Antivirus and Firwall before doing such a thing?
Video cards aren't like motherboards, and just updating for the simple fact that it's available is wrong regarding BIOS's for anything.
You should have a specific reason to do so.
Now, did you backup your old BIOS?
You may need to contact MSI directly to get the original BIOS and use a PCI video card so you can boot and see what you are doing to reflash your AGP card.
How to contact MSI.
Thanks for the advice. And you are right, the cure is painful, particularly, when I didn't back up the old BIOS and neither do I have a PCI graphics card lying around.
I did deactivated my antivirus whilst flashing, and there was no firewall running.

Compatibility between MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 and motherboard

Hi guys, I want to know if there's compatibility between my motherboard "MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R AGP8X" and the "MSI NX6600GT-VTD128" because I want to buy this Video Card but my doubt is about the compatibility or maybe some errors, and I have a 400W Power Supply.. that's ok for this video card?... thnx !!!

hi, how are you.
wel there are no cmpatibility issue with this motherboard and the video card... or i am not notify about...
but do you have to give "us" (all posiblle reply) more info about your pc, anyway the only limitation about it's the slot used, that motherboard uses agp8x and you have to buy a 6600vtd agp 8x, because thera are one model pci express that's all
the power issue: not a issue realy 400w power source are just enough
th real monster are hte 6800 family that need 470w or something like that to work fine
ok i hope best to you and your newer card, and tellme how works this magnificent piece of technological art(in middle rank) and the capture feature with onchip video processor
byee!!

MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum or MSI 6600GT PCI-E ?

Dear Sirs,
I've just bought a MSI NX6600 TD GT 128MB PCI-E and
Motherboard MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum.
I Think that one of these is defective bacause WinXP
can't work with MSI original drivers, MSI old
drivers or Nvidia drivers. The system reboots.
I think that i've tried almost everything and this
card only works badly with VesaSave driver (Generic
Windows driver).
Could a defective video card works ?
Is it possible that the problem is the Motherboard ?
Any idea ?
Help me please,
Thank you very much,

MSI Neo4 Platinum with MSI GF6600GT PCI-e Freezes on games

I'm having this serious problem that my new build system freezes on games. Sometimes I can play for a few hours and sometimes I can play only a few minutes before the system freezes completely. Only a hardware reset helps in this case.
This is my hardware setup:
MSI Neo4 Platinum
MSI GF6600GT PCI-e
2 x 512MB DDR400 memory(in dual mode)
AMD 3200+ 64-bit processor
Sound Blaster Audigy
DVD Writer
Floppy
I'm using Windows XP SP2
What I tryd:
Tested with other RAM modules, same trouble
Reinstalled windows xp, same trouble
Tryd all kind of driver versions, same trouble
Flashed bios to 1.9, same trouble
Put a Zalman Cooler on the Video card (temperature now between 40 and 60 degrees in games instead of 80-100 degrees), same trouble
This is where my questions come:
There are two hardware components I cannot switch to try:
The mainboard and the Video card. Whitch one is most likely to be broken??
I have read in the manual of the mainboard that the PSU should have at least 18A on the 12+ signal. My PSU only haves 15A there. While I doubt this results in problems like this I still like to know if it does!
Please help me out on this one!

Have tried older drivers for you GFX, I find the late 6XXX work better for most games. You mite want to check the system is stable with:
Prime95, Memtest86, 3D mark 03 & 05.
You mite be having the same problems as "easlern", his games would lock up. This was due to to a problem with onboard sound Sound Blaster.

At that moment I didn't even know what was actually on my board, but I knew it was a generic card I was probably never going to use anyway, and I didn't recall getting any sound card updates for this board. So I looked in device manager, and bingo: AC97 device under multimedia devices. I immediately did two things to completely eliminate the rascal: updated the driver for it and promptly went to BIOS and disabled the sucker. Also disabled SATA group 2 (slots 3 and 4), the Marvell LAN because I only use one ethernet anyway (the nVidia one, which from what I was reading, was probably the more robust of the two), both RAID controllers (actually I had disabled them earlier to skip the annoying RAID setup screen), and put the PCIe bus back to 100MHz (rogue: I was wondering about possible damage over time with this too high too, so I was glad to try setting it back to normal!) Also ran Driver Cleaner to rip out the detonators even though I was putting in another nVidia, and then put in the 6800GT and installed drivers. (In case you were interested, my 3dMark05 score went from 3511 under the 6600GT to 4939 under the 6800GT! I now run in 1280x1024 at max effects and I'm completely spoiled in one night already! )
Anyway, one of these myriad, desperate attempts must have worked because I get neither audio stutters (should have been a freaking clue in the first place, duh!) nor lock ups.
Since this is the first PC I've built, I was certain I had to have screwed something up hardware-wise or found some combination that had incompatibilities. If it WAS just the freaking sound card driver I'm going to leave this place in shame and never post again! In my defense, the MSI Update utility didn't show any updated sound drivers for me, and I had assumed it was being pre-empted by my SB Live in any case.
I was convinced this problem was (if it is indeed gone) a video card issue but I can't say it ever was without putting the 6600 back in and running for several hours. I'm going to bet it was the AC97 though because nVidia boards have always been fantastic for me, I haven't had any actual motherboard issues, my RAM and CPU are just fine, and Win2k has never let me down.
Don't assume anything, though, I've learned.
One thing to note: when I was checking out the AC97, I noticed it was *sharing* IRQ 20 with the nForce NIC detector (might have a different name, I can't remember right now). Apparently this is a capability of Win2k to share IRQs but it kind of added to my suspicions anyway.
I'll let you know how the next few sessions go and whether this issue is still an issue

Compatibility ?? MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 with chaintech motherboard ?

hi

thanks for helping i try everything except install it on other pc
bye

Just because yours has more watts doesn't mean it is more powerful.
Check out this topic https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=76923.0
Also please post the max amps for your powersupply on the 3.3v 5v and 12v rails. This info can be found on a sticker on the side of the PSU.

MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 & MSI "3D! Turbo Experience"

Hi,
yesterday I bought a MSI NX6600GT-VTD128. The card is running fine. I also installed the MSI tool "3D! Turbo Experience". However, the tool does not show any relevant information: no voltage, no memory clock, no fan speed...

Hi,
As most will probably agree, 3D turbo is not a very useful piece of software. Your best bet is not to use it. There are lots of 6600GT posts here that address the monitoring issues of that card.
For memory clock and OC'ing you can use the coolbit reg update. You can find a good write-up in the stickies at the top of the forum.
Good Luck,
