20A 12v enough for R7850 Power Edition?

Hi,
I recently purchased an MSI R7850 2GB Power Edition.
It's already installed, and I'm running Borderlands 2 very well. However, my PSU has only 20A on a single +12v rail. Is this enough?
When I ran BF3, I got white "snow" dots everywhere on the screen, but I'm not sure if this is related...
Thanks for the help.
System:
h61 Mobo
i5 3470
2x4gb G-Skill Ram
7200rpm SATA 2 HDD
DVD/RW

Which driver do you use?
I ask because of the 12.10 driver does not run properly with the 7800 cards, but the 12.11 beta does
http://www.msi-forum.de/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=103009
sorry it is German but you can see the photos.
Thanks for the reply! I tried the 12.11 drivers last night, and the issue is still there.
Here is a screenshot of my machine playing Witcher 2: http://postimage.org/image/6ew87dn85/full/ - If you look at the helmet on the right side, you can see a lot of dots. You can also see them on the character's clothes, and in the top-right corner (they look like circular outlines in this section)Pretty much everywhere! If I play on LOW setting, the dots are less strong, but still there.
Here is BF3: http://postimage.org/image/3kbhepavp/full/ - As you can see, the issue is pretty terrible on this game! It makes no difference what settings the game is on.
To summarize:
Not the PSU (brand new Corsair)
Not RAM Timings
Not the Catalyst Drivers or Mobo BIOs
Not overheating
Not the MOBO/CPU (brand new)
Thanks for the help so far, but any other ideas? I have a feeling this brand new card is faulty.

R7850 Power Edition 2GD5/OC and Afterburner + Driver Issues/Concerns?

I just got my R7850 Power Edition 2GD5/OC today, and did a fresh install of Windows 7 but just had a few concerns and issues so far:
1. When using the latest beta (12.11) from AMD, Nexuiz seems to cause the system to BSOD. Kombustor, BF3, and other games didn't have any issues, so I just found this strange. However, these are beta drivers for a reason I guess. In any case, 12.10 seems to work fine with Nexuiz, so it definitely seems driver-related...
2. The highest Core Clock limit in Afterburner is 1050MHz, the same limit in Catalyst. Since this is a PE/OC card, I would've figured the limit to be way higher than this by default? I tried enabling the unofficial overclocking method (t=338906 on Guru3D), but this just caused Afterburner to not have/set any values for both Core and Memory Clocks. I then took a look at this guide (t=359671 on Guru3D) and put the 2 .dll's in Afterburner's folder, and it causes it to be able to read and set clocks properly, however, there is an insane amount of flickering at times (I think due to switching of clocks?).
3. MSI LiveUpdate 5 can't read my card BIOS or get any information about it aside from it being a 7800 Series card. I was mainly interested in checking for any VBIOS updates, and if it helps, GPU-Z tells me my BIOS Version is 015.015.000.002.000000 (113-xxx-xxx).
4. The dust-removal fan tech, or more specifically, the fan reversal spinning doesn't stop after 30 seconds if no GPU driver exists in Windows. In other words, if I'm using the Standard VGA drivers, the fans keep spinning (in reverse I'm pretty sure) at what sounds like full power.
I have CPU-Z and GPU-Z validation URL's in my signature for any more system information, and I also have a hec 585W PSU.

For 1. you already solved this yourself to be driver related.
Yeah, I guess I was just more or less curious if anyone else had a similar incident with these drivers.
Quote from: flobelix on 24-October-12, 19:52:46
For 2.: Use Driver Fusion in Safe Mode to remove current VGA drivers.
Then install latest drivers from MSI
Try again
From what I understand, those are just the standard Catalyst 12.8 drivers from AMD? In any case I saw http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18431335 which in short said to make a desktop shortcut of AB with -xcl, and download some patch; and doing both of those actually worked on Catalyst 12.10 drivers. So everything (so far) seems ok, no flickering or anything.

For 3.: Upload current vbios to a filehoster and post link as well as add S/N

For 4.: That is normal, it runs at full speed until fan control kicks in with the driver.

MSI R7850 POWER EDITION 2GD5/OC vs TWIN FROZR 2GD5/OC

I had to do an RMA with MSI for the R7850 POWER EDITION 2GD5/OC I had, and it turns out they don't have anymore inventory of it, so I'm accepting a R7850 TWIN FROZR 2GD5/OC as a replacement.
The only differences I can spot immediately are that I may lose voltage control, the Core clock comes slightly lower, and the heatsink is model III instead of IV.
I imagine I can just overclock with Afterburner if needed to up the core clock; I'm wondering if voltage control could also be unlocked though? Also is there any other difference that I should be aware of?

general difference between Power Edition and models with Twin Fozr,
is that Power Editions has Enhanced PWM Design and offers triple voltage control [compared to regular model: + memory voltage and + Aux voltage]

R7850 power edition 2gd5/0c - fan spin up when idle

Hi -
Apologies for crashing another thread.
Fan spins up every 10 secs or so when the card is idle, please help.
Card s/n is:
602-v273-030B1207076134
Card model is
R7850 Power Edition 2GD5/OC
(twin Frozr IV)
I stupidly flashed a vbios for a card that I believed was same model, and problem remains.
I do not have the original vbios - it is currently running 110MH.bin.
Thank you -

Yes, that's it.
You have to power off your computer, then to turn it on again then the new vbios will take affect.
Try MSI VGA drivers for your card: http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R7850-Power-Edition-2GD5-OC.html#/?div=Driver&os=All
Remove current one with >>Driver Fusion<< in Safe Mode 1st,
before install the new one

MacBook Pro with SSD that has a limited disk space (120GB). Rendering in Project File (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects), it takes huge space and the limited disk space would not be enough for the whole editing.

I'm using MacBook Pro with 128GB SSD that has a limited disk space. As we know, when rendering in Project File (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects), it takes huge space and the limited disk space would not be enough for the whole editing.
My question is, Is there any method to get the rendering Projects file saved into an external hard drive which is connected with USB/ Thunderbolt/ Firewire, with huge disk space (eg. 500GB HDD).
Now, new project created in my Mac is automatically saved in (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects) and my Mac has ran out of space to hold the files.
Thank you.

You have at least 3 different ways to show the project library:
1) Go to WIndow->Show Project Library
2) Click the button in bottom left of your window:
3) Hit the keyboard shortcut (Command-0)
The project library will be shown, occupying the area where the timeline usually is.
Your hard disks will be visible. Click the hard disk where you want the new project to reside and hit Cmd-N to create a new project.

How fast is Express/34 on a MacBookPro, good enough for HD capture/edit?

I need some help to try and clear up what I feel is misinformation around the web as to whether a MacBookPro can edit full true, high definition, 1080p video.
First of all, it is not clear at what speed the Express/34 can operate at.
According to the Express standard, the Express interface can connect into one of the following buses on the motherboard:
1. PCI Express: 2.5 Gbit/sec/direction
OR
2. USB 2.0: 480 Mbit/sec
If it is (1) then it is way above your figure, 2.5Gbit/s = 2500Mbit/s which is just over 300M Bytes/s.
Which is more than enough for HD
If Apple have chose 2. Then they are really stupid!
that's pointless when there are existing USB2 480 ports on the laptop.
I thought the whole point of Express was to offer higher bandwidths than USB or Firewire.
They've just brought out a 17" 1920x1200 laptop that is capable of displaying full HD but if they have a slow bus preventing full 1080p capture then that is really infuriating!
Secondly, some people think that Express/54 is faster - it is not - it supports the exact same speed as /34 but it's just bigger physically.
Thirdly, assuming that Express/34 on a MacBookPro is 2.5 Gbit/sec/direction then it should support high speeds, e.g. 1.5Gbit/sec on external RAID via an eSATA Express card: http://www.macupgrades.co.uk/store/productinfo.php?productsid=373
Fourth, how is full true HD 1080p high def video captured into a computer? Is it Firewire 800, for example or a custom interface.
Thanks.
This question is related to:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=966455&tstart=0

The MacBook Pro (15" and 17") ExpressCard/34 slot supports BOTH a 1-lane PCI Express link (connected directly to the Southbridge) and one USB 2.0 interface (connected to the USB 2.0 controller in the Southbridge).
A 1-lane PCI Express connection can theoretically support 250 MB/s in each direction.
Your ExpressCard/34 will determine which of the MBP's interfaces is used, based on the card's design.
Further to the discussion, internally the MBP has a 1GB/s bidirectional DMI bus connecting the Southbridge with the Northbridge. The Northbridge, in turn, is connected to the processors via an 800MHz 32-bit bidirectional bus.

Request: UEFI GOP for R7970 Power Edition 3GD5

R7970 Power Edition 3GD5
S/N: 602-V278-04SB1204081382
Current BIOS: hxxps://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/39370966/Tahiti.rom
Thanks!

Can you please provide the latest stock BIOS for this card? Upon flashing the GOP one you provided, I lost the ability to adjust voltages... which was the whole point of this card. I tried to flash my original one back, but got an ID mismatch.
Or if the GOP version can be modified to allow voltage changes again, that'd be even better.
Thanks!

R7850 Power Edition 2GD5/OC Dust removal fan speed

Will a VBIOS ever be released with a more silent slower dust removal fan speed?
I own a 7850 power edition and it sounds like a jet engine every boot up until windows loads drivers.

Flashed and now much quieter at boot.
Many thanks for your help Svet, you guys are amazing.

R7850 Power Edition 2GD5/OC come with case badge?

I ordered some new RAM recently, and I just noticed it came with a nice sticker to put on my case, and it reminded me that I didn't have one for my GPU. I ordered a few GPU's in the past from different companies, and their GPU's came with case badges in the box or in the instructions booklet, but I was a bit surprised to not see my R7850 not come with any badge.
I don't know if it was a packing mistake, or if this card just doesn't ship with a badge (perhaps someone could clear this up), but in any case, is there any way I might be able to request or purchase one?

Sadly the really skipped badges some time ago Always loved 'em. In the old days vgas and mobos came with a badge like the classic "Geared by MSI" or the ones with the mobo series or "Multimedia" on it.
Would be so cool if those would come back.

R7850 Power Edition 2GD5/OC Dust Removal Technology boot noise

Hello, I'm interested in getting the 7850 PE OC, but the loud boot-up is holding me back. MSI released updated BIOSes for the 680 Lightning and 670 PE with a more quiet boot (available from the german MSI site, strangely not from the global site). Are there any plans to release a official BIOS with a more quiet boot for the 7850 PE?
If I would get the 7850 PE OC and flash a BIOS provided by Svet to reduce the boot up fan speed would my warranty be void?

once you have the card, then we can check its vbios

Screen flashing/black screen for 1-2 seconds - 7850 power edition 2gb/OC

I recently bought the MSI R7850 Power Edition 2GD5/OC. I have installed amd catalyst 12.10. I have no issues while playing games...the only game i have played since i bought the card is prototype 2 (all settings set to high). The problem is while browsing or when not playing my screen flashes (just once - screen becomes black) for about 1-2 seconds. This does not happen regularly, but quite a few times.. i have uninstalled and re-installed the same catalyst version twice (downloaded from different sources - one from msi and the other from amd). The problem still persists.

Feature request: better tools for commenting and editing text

We currently use a comments-enabled Acrobat workflow with InDesign to track changes to our large catalog project. Was hoping to move our team over to CS Live, but currently the commenting tools are sub-par, and not accurate enough for extensive text editing. My request would be to imitate the text editing functionality of Acrobat:
In CS Live online:
- allow users to be able to copy selected text. (This is useful when a reviewer wants to be able to modify a sentence or paragraph. It's a headache now to have to retype the sentence prior to making modifications)
- Ability to highlight text and hit "delete" to mark text as deleted, or highlight and type over to indicate replaced text
- Ability to click to insert text, and have the comment appear with the inserted text designation (little blue carat like in Acrobat)
- ability to highlight a section of text
In InDesign:
- ability to copy the text in a comment and NOT copy all the other extraneous meta data. (Currently, if you click "copy text", it will copy the comment along with all the details about the comment. For example, "- Amy Stewart [10.06.11 at 12:56 PM]"
- ability to see in InDesign the EXACT part of the text that needs to be modified. Right now, the red box outlines the general area. The CS Review panel shows a tiny thumbnail with black highlight over the area of text that needs to be changed, but unfortunately, there's no way to zoom in on it, so you're stuck having to toggle between InDesign and the online review, where it's possible to zoom. (This diminishes the utility of the CS Review panel.)
If you were able to incoroprate all the commenting functionality of Acrobat, I think you'll have a winner. But right now, we're going to have to stick with Acrobat as it's the only way to easily modify text.

Sorry if I might be stating the obvious (but at least I was such a *dummy* once that I needed this explicitely):
In order to move the sequence of images per drag&drop in grid view you need to
Put the sort order in the bottom toolbar to "user order" (toggle visibility with letter T if not displayed)
Grab an image from within its thumbnail, not from its border-cell.
When you move around you see a vertical black thick line wandering in between images where you would be able to drop it
Put the images first into a collection in case they should be spread across multiple folders.
This is the reason why most often from a filter result you cannot re-arrange.
Still sometimes it does not work as I want, but can *be persuaded*, i.e. I repeat the same trial after first moving to another collection, then return back. I can't nail it down sufficiently to file a bug.
For an automated sorting according to filename (chosse that setting finally in toolbar) you could rename the photos in place, without exporting & re-importing. Just select them and hit <F2> to bring up the renaming dialog like possible during import.
+1 vote from me, as I am neither satisfied with the responsiveness of moving folders within LR e.g. from laptop hard disk to NAS.
Apart from that I try not to build much on my folder structure, just break them into manageable quantities and have a quick "diary-overview" by using naming convention "YYYY-MM-DD description of event" (pictures of up to 4 cameras go inside, unique filenames for Canons achieved by renaming during import). For all the rest I prefer to build (smart) collections.
