560ti OC

I bought the above mentioned card from scan, one of the fans stopped working after 11 months so I sent it back to scan. After a few days they sent it back to MSI. Now nearly 4 weeks later, I have received a used 560 ti which artifacts within 3 seconds of playing BF3. Scan say they will credit me about £74 or send me another refurbish.
What is the best way to go about this as I can see myself without a computer for months if I keep getting sent faulty refurbished cards.

Don't get me wrong, I had something like this happen to me once and I felt rather silly. So I wasn't trying to shift blame or something like that.
I know what you mean xmad, everytime I build a computer I always forget to put the back plate in that covers the usb, ethernet ports ect, at the back of the computer, so I have to take it apart again to get the plate in .
I borrowed a ATI 4870 and it is working perfectly (allthough a little slow for gaming) so I can rule out user error
Thanks Steik, I hope it is sorted soon too, I have bought a few things from Ebuyer over the years but nothing has gone Kapput so I have'nt had to deal with their returns department. I know one thing though, Scan is one place where I will never buy from again.
I bought a MSI neo2 pfsir mobo eons ago and that is still going strong in my sisters office PC, at one stage it was covered in dust when my Neice had it, that much dust that where the PSU connector goes into the motherboard blew and melted the connector. I cleaned all the melted plastic and carbon off the connectors and 2 years later it is still working. So MSI build good componenets, I guess I have just been unlucky with these GFX cards.

MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti "Twin Frozr II" crash at 50 degrees Celsius

I get artifacts (pink squares all over screen) in heaven benchmark, fluid benchmark and gta 4, a few seconds later I get a black screen and then an error message there windows tell me the driver has crash but praise msi it was successfully recovered. All this then the card is nearing 50 degrees Celsius.

I tested driver on msi site and the latest nvidia driver, even tested some beta driver. All give the same result as stated above. I also tested to set the clocks at reference speed but no go. Also tested voltage at 1025.

Got a new card today, same card but new.
No problems now, seem the new card has newer bios and lower core voltage. Maybe that is a way to fix it, just upgrade bios.

MSI 560Ti Hawk weird monitor behaviour

I got my videocard as mentioned in the title FINALLY today (it was announced early april) and installed it to my system. The problem is it gave me no signal on my display (Samsung 226BW), so i went troubleshooting.
Hardware involved:
MSI Geforce 560Ti Hawk
MSI Geforce 275 GTX Twin Frozr OC
Samsung 226BW
Samsung 940NW
DVI-D Single link cable provided by Samsung with 226BW
DVI-A Converter provided by MSI with MSI Geforce 560Ti Hawk
Regular VGA cable
To summarize my results;
1. Using the above mentioned 275 GTX and the DVI cable as mentioned above, there are no problems with both of the DVI connectors on the card regarding operation, works fine
2. When I replace my old card with the new one, and use the mentioned DVI cable, the left or most outer slot of the videocard will NOT work, gives no signal. The central one or the right one (when installed) works fine.
3. When i swap my monitor with the one my GF owns, a 940NW which only has VGA input, it works fine with the mentioned equipment above, so a converter and a standard VGA cable, on both DVI connectors on my NEW card.
4. When i use that connection (VGA cable + DVI-A converter) on my 226BW, which has DVI in and VGA in, it works on both DVI ports.
So, to even further summarize my findings, I find that the first or most outer DVI connection will NOT work with my DVI cable OR my monitor.
Could anyone shed some light on this and help me? Do I need another sort of DVI cable, or do I have to replace my monitor for it to work on the most left or outer DVI connection on the videocard?

Too me it seems (thinking about it a little more), that my outer or right DVI slot is defective for DVI-D connections. (the actual pins that DVI-D uses are not working properly) When I uses an analogue connection for this port, it works fine, so the analogue pins (which differ from the DVI pins) and with that de analogue connection works fine. When I use the center DVI connection, and my DVI cable as stated above, it works fine, showing both the cable and the monitor work properly. I'm thinking of RMA'ing the card. Any suggestions would be appreciated still

[GTX 560Ti] Artifacts and Crashes.

I'll try to make this as painless as possible for it has been a huge pain in the rear for me. I've owned this card since April 2011 and since the very first time I used it to play games it worked GREAT!! Later on that same night I used it to watch a movie on it my projector. Half way through the movie I started to notice green dots as they started to jump around all over the screen it just went black and my projector stated that there was no signal. I hoped it was not my projector going out, I tested it out with my HTPC as it was always being used with that and always worked good. Everything was fine with the HTPC same movie was finished on it.
This is where the horror begins sort of like being in the twilight zone. I proceed to restart my pc with the 560ti with my monitor plugged into it this time around. Everything looked okay, I went on to play games, it worked fine. I started to doubt my projector or maybe a bad connection on my part or something. I decided to go watch some youtube videos and I started seeing those ugly green dots and bam my monitor goes black "No Signal" for a short second and I am greeted by the "driver has stopped working." as it powers back on. I go to nvidia and download the latest stable driver available at that time and did a clean install. Next day everything worked! I didn't see any of those little GREEN MONSTERS and thought that was the end of them. Three days go by while attempting to play rift, I saw objects all over the place Huge black triangles and rectangles. At this point I knew something had to be wrong with this card and I began my long and tiring process of trouble shooting it.
I tried using nvidia's ref clocks nothing, rolled back to the original driver nothing, reinstalled windows with latest nvidia drivers nothing. I posted in the nvidia forums on this problem and people stated that I should wait til the drivers mature. A year has almost passed I tried all of the drivers they have released and am currently on 295.73 still the same problem, only as an added bonus now it will artifact on desktop as well doing nothing. I have tried everything from switching browsers to disabling hardware acceleration nothing I mean NOTHING works. I wish I hadn't waited this long and returned it that same week I bought it. The only temporary fix for this is to shutdown your pc and remove the power cord from the power supply and then press on the power button to let all of the current from the components to discharge and then plug it all back in and you get a day or two with no artifacts.
The only thing I learned from this was well, I payed premium for a OVERCLOCKED card for them to tell me to down clock it to stock. I could have very well bought a ref card for a lot less. I don't know who's at fault here MSI or nVidia. As if it weren't already inconvenient enough that my product failed and or never worked properly, MSI says I am responsible for the shipping If I decide to do an RMA. While it's not expensive to ship I feel as if I was ripped off from day one and listening to people telling me to wait while drivers mature. I feel this incident will make me stray away from MSI even though I loved their products at a point and time.
Here's my system specs doubt it matters though.
i7 2600k @ 4.8GHz
ASUS P8P67 Deluxe
Patriot 2x4GB 1866MHz RAM
MSI GTX 560 Ti twin frozr OC
Crucial 64GB Boot SSD
2x 1 TB storage HD's
Windows 7 64bit
Before anyone says my cpu clocks are probably not stable thus causing this, I've had these things happen at stock clocks as well.

test the card in another computer
I tried this I forgot to mention it, it ran furmark and kombuster for 2 minutes without starting to artifact followed by freezing the whole system on a i7 950 which worked fine with a 6950 that was previously in the system. I even tested the known and working 6950 in my system with no problems. It's this card that is the problem the 560ti ref clocks don't even work, and it has never been over clocked maybe I was just unlucky with the chip that came with it but I have no idea how this card passed the quality check. To make it worse it seems like a bunch of us have the same problem with these cards why all of them passed quality checks is beyond me but I think nvidia should recall all of this cards and figure out what is going wrong with them and stop telling us that they can't reproduce the problem we are all having. I would be glad to send them my card to show them how badly they messed up with this one.

GTX 560Ti Blank Screen on Boot

Hello guys,
I purchased a MSI GTX 560Ti (Twin Frozr-II edition) 5 months back. Recently, when booting...I kept getting a "No Signal" message from the monitor. There was activity on the PC , it managed to get past the POST (beep sound) and eventually I did hear the Windows 7 login music. But the screen was still black.
After restarting the PC a couple of times, I managed to get normal display again. Shut down the PC after around 4 hours of gaming , but on the next boot I had the same black screen issue. Again , a couple of reboots later - the monitor managed to get the signal.
I even plugged the card into my friend's PC , but the same black screen problem was there too. Just for testing , I tried plugging my old Geforce 9600 GT and I got normal display on the monitor.
Well, it pretty much continued in this fashion for around 2 weeks , then the card absolutely refused to give any signal to the monitor despite countless restarts. I took the card for RMA to the service centre , and when the technician plugged it into his motherboard, the card was running fine!
Brought the card back home and plugged it into my mobo , and behold...normal display! Well, it didn't last long because the motherboard died 2 hours later.
I've given the motherboard for RMA, but I'm still concerned about the card. It was malfunctioning on my PC , didn't work on my friend's PC (the card was fully powered mind you) , but then decided to work at the RMA centre. What could possibly be wrong with it?
Here's my config :
Intel Core2Quad Q6600 (2.4 ghz)
ABIT IP-35E Motherboard
5GB DDR2 800 Ram
MSI GTX 560Ti Twin Frozr II
Corsair VX450W
1x250 GB HDD , 1x200 GB HDD
Windows 7 Ultimate Edition
I was told that the VX450W was capable of powering the GPU (and it did quite well...for 5 months). Btw , my friend's PC was running a slightly identical configuration. He had a Corsair VX450W as well.
I'm not sure if the problem is in the card itself or something else. Just to be on the safer side, I'm also going for a PSU upgrade (Corsair TX750W) when my motherboard returns from RMA.

Personally, I prefer to have a PSU with an extra 5 or 6 amps to spare on the +12v rail. The VX450 only can deliver 33A and the recommendations for a system with a 560Ti is 31A(probably a system with 2 sticks ram, ONE HDD, and one ODD). 2 extra amps is cutting it a tad close in my book. And remember, any overclock, CPU and/or the GPU will increase the number of amps needed. The TX 750 should serve very well.

OC gtx 560ti to 1ghz

hey i've been trying to OC my msi gtx 560ti in SLI to both at 1ghz but unable to do so I can only clock 970mhz @ the max voltage using msi afterburner and ppl is able to use the same card n get to 1ghz at a lower voltage hw do they do so???? here a video of the OC results.. can ur tell me how am i able to get it to 1ghz at the same voltage

It's the good old question why certain CPUs and GPUs clock more than other's ?
Even though the parts are the same, they will never be identical. The silicon composition inside the CPU/GPU is unique and thus there will always be differences.
The manufacturere will sell an overclocked product at a setting that gurantees stable operation. Beyond that is the luck of the draw. Some guys get 5 GHz out of their i7 CPUs, others get 4,8GHz. Same settings/voltages.
There comes a point where no amount of voltage will allow a further increase in clockspeed. So we cannot answer your question. 30MHz will probably not even make a visible difference.
It's that magical barrier of 1000MHz thats worrying you. Accept your stable 970.

560Ti Frozr II help please

Hi guys,
I installed my new MSI 560Ti Frozr II (none oc one) last night and ever since ive been getting some BSOD's but what happens all the time is the pc crashes in any game I play from BF2, BF3 and EQ2. What happens is the signal seems to stop from the gpu to the monitor and my screen just goes blank and the pc keeps running. It has also bsod twice while trying to type this. I didnt us the drivers from the disk I used the BF3 beta driver from the Nvidia site but originaly I tried the released driver from nvidia and that did the same thing. Ive looked at Afterburner and the temps seem fine its ilding at about 31c.
I am really stuck guys as I have had no joy with this new build I have had to RMA the cpu as it arrived damaged and my new H60 cooler also had to go back under RMA, I hope the GPU isnt borked too that would put the icing on the cake really.
Im running the 560Ti on my old PC which is a Q6600, X38 mobo and 8gb of ddr II ram with a 1000HX psu as Im still waiting for my new cpu and cooler to come back from RMA.
Thanks in advance.

Tried it on this pc last night but couldnt replicate it although the fans were spinning up fast but the side panel was off. I should be getting my rma'ed cpu back today so will try it on my 990fx board later hopefully. After trying it on this one I put it back in my x38 mobo and it didnt even get to windows before BSODing so makes me think its my old system rather than the gpu, i will let you know if its ok in the new system when I do it later thanks guys.

HELP! GTX 560Ti MPE?

Hello Guys first post. I'm a noob with grahpics card and have a two question,
If I buy the GTX 560Ti will I be able to use MPE with adobe premeire pro cs5.5? Also, will this card run smoothly with After Effects Cs6
Thanks!

http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/tech-specs.html
http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html
What's not listed is not officially supported for the respective feature, meaning GPU raytracing or MPE. It's as easy as that. Otherwise any card will satisfy the normal requirements of both programs.

S20 and want to add gtx 560TI

I use iray renderer and the more VGA cards the faster it becomes.
So I have Quadro 4000 and I want to add (not replace) a gtx 560, 560TI, 470, 480, etc that has extra meaty CUDA cores to utilize.
The issue seems obvious, PSU has only one extra 6 pin left while above mentioned cards need two. So any idea how I can get another 6pin thingy?
And are there someone out there who succeded to put two cards in S series?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The answer is really going to depend on which card you're trying to add to the system (in addition to the Q4000). The Q4000 is ~150W TDP card, which is about the max that a 6-pin connector can handle via spec. Depending on what your HDD and optical drive configuration is, you might be able to support another 150W TDP card off that same connector via a splitter, but it will be close (and by close I mean you might expose yourself to overcurrent situations where the system would shut down under max loads).
You also need to watch the TDP of the cards you might consider using. Generally, 150W TDP cards require a single 6-pin connector which might be workable in this case to be used with the Q4000. Some of the cards you mention are over 150W (such as the 560TI), and would very likely not be workable with the Q4000 in S30.

560ti hawk crashes all the time

Hi,
I have bought a 560ti hawk for my fathers pc last year.
He mostly wants to play battlefield 3 and bad company 2 with the card.
His PC is stable otherwise and no problems in windows. Battlefield 3 crashes very often (every 5-10 minutes). It first goes black and then drops to the desktop.
unfortunately bad company 2 also crashes out to desktop but not so often.
Problem remained:
Things I tried:
reinstalled directx, resintalled windows in desperation, updated all pc drivers, bios etc. Except the card which i couldnt find any help for.
flashed the bios of my fathers PC. Underclocked the Hawk. installed the MSI voltage regulator tool (no help.)
monitored tempereatures (goes to about 76C max) which should be ok.
I have tried approximately 10 different version of nvidia drivers the new version 3 drivers are the least stable.
I installed the new msi liveupdate 5. which after a scan shows me nothing. Just a (broken) empty grid. Who programmed this...
I have not found any other way to install new bios on this card.
So a friend of mine told me that his 560ti (gigabyte) was doing the same thing and that the 560ti range has a voltage problem that was solved in a later bios. He installed this and the problems stopped. Sadly MSI doesnt seem to have updated my cards bios since last year.
I have now removed this card from my fathers pc and put in in mine which is rock solid in battlefield with my ATI 5870. Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers.
played for about 30 minutes and the game crashed. I had to kill the task. It is also a lot noisier than my 5870 which is now sitting on my desk.
I am now at the point when im going to write this card off, :( please help.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response. I normally use the NVidia drivers uninstall to clean the drivers before installing a new one.
Yes I tried to push the voltage higher and all the way to the right as afterburner let me. It didnt help at all. I also tried the MSI Active Phase Switching app which didnt anything other than waste desktop space
I have tried two powersupplies: first pc, corsair: GS700W, second pc (mine): FSP 750W.
I have now, tried reinstalling windows, so the driver cleaning theory I think we can exclude. It still crashed with the latest drivers 301.42 with a fresh install. I now downloaded the latest msi drivers and will try them for a while 285.62.
SERIAL on the card if it helps: 602-v260-04SB1108081902
Is there no bios update for this card? why are there so many posts saying that a bios update fixes this type of problem?
Thanks for your help so far.

When I update Nvidia drivers to anything new than 306.97 after a few days I get a TDR driver crash or artifacts. 310.70 would cause driver crashes. 310.90 caused artifacts in Civ 5 in the diplomacy screen which renders a 3d model of a civilization's leader. This screen is much different than the rest of the game's graphics. The artifacts didn't carry over to the normal graphics. 314.22 caused a TDR crash today. I rolled back to 306.97 whenever a driver failed as these have been very stable. I used these drivers from the end of January until the start of April without issues. I have double checked my system settings with all matching the specs of my parts; Ram, CPU, PSU, etc. I have no overclocks beside the factory OC that comes with the GPUs. Is there anything I can do to check if this is an issue is linked to my GPUs? Could this just be a series of bad drivers released by Nvidia?
Any help is appreciated.

I followed your instructions and have installed a fresh download of the 314.22 drivers. During Driver Fusion's cleanup a small window opened stating that Driver Fusion could not remove all the files due to being a trial version. For a full clean I would have to buy the Premium Edition. Will this have any effect on your troubleshooting instructions?
I will reply if/when this drivers had any issues. It could be a few days based on my past experience.

MSI GTX 560Ti TWIN FROZR II 1GB GDDR5

Currently I'm experiencing a problem where no matter what I'm doing, whether it is gaming or browsing, green/orange chequered squares appear exactly as in the picture below:
The problem lasts for a matter of seconds and then windows informs me that the drivers have recovered from a failure. This is very remininsant, but not identical, to when I had a 9800GT that died. This issue has only started within the last month and the card is over 6 months old. Is this likely to be a GPU issue?

Seagate ST3500418AS 500GB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 16MB Cache - OEM
Thermaltake 500W PSU

Sadly I've no way of testing the card in another PC or a different PSU.
What is the likelihood that it is the PSU even though the card has been performing flawlessly for almost a year? Also I could understand if it was causing artifacts just when gaming due to power load, but it happened when I was merely surfing the net, where power draw doesn't even reach 300W.
Is a known solution to this issue an increase in Watts or is there a chance that it is a problem with the GPU?

MSI nVidia GTX 560ti Twin frozr III loss of output

Hi folks,
I recently needed my monitor to test another rig and upon plugging it back in I discovered my MSI nVidia GTX 560ti Twin frozr III no longer has video output, I have tried different outputs, different cables, different displays and different motherboard slots to no avail. Had a search around and couldn't find any other instances of this. The card is 2 years old now but has always functioned perfectly (apart from the well publicised memory temperature problem). Any ideas what might be causing this issue?
Regards,
hotrats
Specs:
Windows 7 PRO SP1 64bit
AMD FX-8350 8 Core Black Edition Processor 4.57gHz OC
ASUS M5A99X EVO Motherboard R2
MSI nVidia GTX 560ti Twin frozr III
Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB DDR3
Thermatake 750W Evo_blue 2.0
I'm assuming drives and case aren't the issue so not listing them.

The card is 2 years old, but how long wasn't it used for and did you ever had any problems with it?
First of all, I would reset CMOS >>Clear CMOS Guide<< so all the OC is removed (write down settings of CPU OC if you want to use it later on).
Then (I don't know Asus boards) would look through the BIOS if it recognises the card. Possible you should get rid of the possible dust in PCIe slot?
Also: while card is plugged in, run computer and: try all the video ports, even those on motherboard (maybe board doesn't recognise the card and wants to run integrated gpu if there is any).
Last but not least: ask a friend/colleague if you can test your card in their computer. Best if it would be different brand of motherboard, and power supply. Possibly power supply is screwed up somewhere (broken connection)and doesn't deliver enough power to give output.
Does the card start up when you run the PC (fans of the card)?

560ti Hawk Memory reading very high.

Hello Svet,
I'm also having problems with my memory temp reading abnormally high. 560ti Hawk.
I see you are helping people with a custom vBIOS? What is the change that you are doing and is it basically cosmetic or does it have a deeper function. For instance, is the high memory temperature reported by MSI Afterburner correct? Can it cause the computer/vid card to bug out/shutdown? Does your update hopefully fix that?
Where can I find my serial number and why do you need it? I looked through the faqs and couldn't find this info.
My card bios info that I could find via NiBiTor
Device ID 1200
Sub vender ID 1462
Sub System ID 2601
My Bios version is: 70.24.2E.00.002
Thanks for any help you can give me, sorry I thought using other threads would help reduce clutter.

560TI Hawk Code 43 Error!

Hi,
I just rma'd my first msi 560ti Hawk (hdmi out issue, they sent me a replacement). i got my new one, but its been acting up and not working at all.
I am pretty sure i installed everything correctly, i had an amd card so before i plugged in the 560 i removed the amd drivers. then i plugged in the card, both power plugs and i should've been set! first thing i noticed was the red LED lights were on. Then when i turned the computer on the res was low and there were small, horizontal white lines across my screen. I figured i just had to install the drivers and I'd be fine. So, i installed the drivers, rebooted, and the card was deactivated by windows. Device manager gave me this:
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
So, i tried installing the drivers, went into safe mode, and used driver sweeper on my drivers. Rebooted to the same white lines and tried reinstalling the drivers to the same problem.
I can only think of two things that could be wrong. either:
A) The card is shot, time to contact msi
or B) somehow the old, uninstalled amd drivers are messing with it
Now when i got my first 560ti hawk i had to switch from the same amd card and that went smoothly doing the same steps i did above, so I'm leaning toward MSI sent me a bad card. Does that happen? How do you send a customer a replacement card that doesn't work??
Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

In many cases, if you switch from AMD to Nvidia, you need to reinstall the OS.
(your OS might be messed up now).

MSI 560Ti HAWK GPU Temperatures Diablo 3

Hello,
I have a 560Ti HAWK GPU running stable at MSI factory settings with -75 core voltage from MSI Afterburner. I am running Win 7x64 with all updates to date. The video driver installed is the WHQL 310.70 from geforce.com. I have a quad core [email protected] GHZ and 4GB DDR2@800MHZ. The motherboard is an Asus Maximus II Formula. The BIOS of the GPU is 70.24.21.00.00 (P1040-0050). I recently flashed the bios with one sent to me by an admin on the site because it had the high memory issue. Flashing the BIOS only affected the memory temperature issue, the GPU temperature remained the same as before flashing.
The GPU gets very hot while playing Diablo 3. Monitoring the temperatures with GPUZ and MSI Afterburner it shows about 89 Celsius with a max of 92. The case is very well ventilated and in other games it does not get over 75. I run Diablo at 1680x1050 with everything on high, AA on, Vsync on, Max Foreground FPS 60.
To test the temperature and the sensors i ran MSI Kombustor for 45 minutes, with OpenGL 3, PostFX on, 8xMSAA, 1680x1050 fullscreen, and the max temperature was 85 Celsius. The heat coming out of the card felt pretty much the same from when playing Diablo so I can conclude that the sensors are working as they should.
I tried performing a clean install of the drivers and also uninstalling the game. Also I changed the TIM on the GPU about a week ago, it now has Coolink Chilaramic, but the temperature in Diablo didn't improve. Even after changing the TIM the temperature remained the same for other games.
What else can I do to lower the temps in Diablo 3, is the game more GPU intensive than MSI Kombustor?
Thanks

Yes its possible
what PC case you use? do you have enough space inside and proper airflow?
have you tried tried MSI VGA drivers for the card?
I have an Antec P182 with 2x120mm intake and 2x120mm exhaust fan with decent cable arrangement. I tried the latest MSI drivers for my GPU, 306.97 but the temps are the same in Diablo.
