Dual non-SLI Geforce

For various reasons I have bought a cheap Geforce G210 to have besides my GTX460(If I buy another GTX460 I have to change other parts, don't want that) to run multiple monitors.
My plan in to have 3 monitors. 1 connected to the GTX460 with my projector and 2 on the cheap card. The one on the GTX460 will of cource be my main monitor for games and video displays.
But I have a question about Photoshop, when photoshop do heavy calculations and stuff, what decides which graphic card Photoshop will use?
Does it matter which screen currently have Photoshop open on? I don't want Photoshop to run slower cause I decide to have it on a screen that is connected to the crap card.
Thanks in advance.

PS will use the card which is the primary one in your system, which is determined by your device enumeration. The rest doesn't matter - PS' OpenGL usage is minor and even what you call a "crap card" will cater these limited features sufficiently, assuming there are no problems with dual card config in the first place.

K8N Neo4 (non SLI), does it have dual core support?

Hi, I've got a few questions:
- Can I install an AMDX2 4200+ processor in my K8N Neo4 non-SLI motherboard (model MS-7125)?
- If I can, do I have to update my BIOS? I bought this board in March of 2005.
- If I have to update my BIOS, how can I do it? I don't have a floppy drive, and the Live Update thing doesn't seem to be working.
Thanks for any help.

Hmmmkay here...
Well, I tried to find the USB legacy support, but I looked in every menu and submenu and I couldn't find it. Also, it turns out that I gave some misinformation--the USB options for boot are FDD, ZIP, and CD. Not even support for a HDD!
So, I'm back to square one.
Can I flash from a floppy...? I can probably get my hands on one if needed.
Or even better, is there a way to boot the flashing app from a CD?
"Well, I tried to find the USB legacy support, but I looked in every menu and submenu and I couldn't find it. Also, it turns out that I gave some misinformation--the USB options for boot are FDD, ZIP, and CD. Not even support for a HDD!"
in BIOS, ---> "Integrated Peripherals" ---> "USB KB/Storage Support" and Enabled it. then "SAVE AND EXIT" , hit F11 or F8 during post, then choice USB-ZIP, or USB-HDD and boot from it.
"misinformation--the USB options for boot are FDD, ZIP, and CD. Not even support for a HDD!"
choice USB-ZIP.

MSI P6N SLI-FI - two video cards non SLI help

Hi,
I am currently running Win 7 Pro 64bit on a MSI P6N SLI with a GeForce GTS 250.
I would like to run 3 monitors and thus install another video card. I was thinking about an GeForce 9400GT using PCIe.
My manual tells me I can only run two video cards in SLI mode, which I don't want to do.
Searching this forum, I found two contradicting posts; one telling me that it is possible to run two cards non-SLI (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=107857.0), one telling me it's not (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=124883.0).
Can anyone tell me which one's true?
And as an alternative, would it be possible to use a PCI (non-PCIe) card like a GeForceFX 5200 additionally to my GTS 250?
Any help would be appreciated,
greetings
cmdkeen

that guy would be me and yes, my pc BSOD-ed like hell with a 8600GT and a 9800GTX, but only after a few days.
maybe it was a driverissue, but I gave up after a 3 weeks
now im running a 250GTS alongside the 9800GTX (non sli !!) and that works fine, since the 250 is essentially a rebranded 9800GTX.
so dont be to happy yet and wait for a few days/weeks and see how it goes.
if it BSOD's, best bet is to get an identic vga, would be my advice.
good luck an keep us posted.

Hi!
I am also facing this problem with my K8N NEO4 Platinum Ultra.
I have even tested my PC with a PSU which is having -5v in it's rating.
I have also requested a help from MSI Support.
Their & My reply is as follows.
But still my problem could not be solved. My sound card as per the OS works fine and produces output. But no audible output for humans to hear.
This is the case with both front and rear panels.
I have even sent the MB for RMA but here in India, people are fools. Even from RMA the board was shipped back in the same faulty condition. What to say? Whom to curse? Only money and 20days were spent waiting for repair and in wain.
If any body can help it will be very nice.
Here is my reply to MSI:
My K8n Neo4 Platinum Ultra - earlier was giving good quality sound output. Later after 15 days of using this board, it does not give any audible sound at all. But through headphone socket of cd player I am able to receive good quality sound.
And also while using CD Player to play audio tracks, the output is very intermitent and feeble with lots of cracking noise and poor quality audio is heard.
Through Windows Media Player no sound is heard at all.
I reinstalled win2000/Win2000Server/Win2003 XP Server. In all the platform sound problem exists. Any solutions?
My PSU has 20amps in +12V rail and has no -5v. 24 pin adaptor with 400W.
SATA HDD 80GB WD. 256*2=512mb DDR 400 Ram.
CPU AMD 3000+ Winchester core.
Thanks in advance.
REPLY FROM MSI:
Dear SoftWheels:
Thank you for contacting MSI Technical Support.
With regard to yoru concern, we would like to know before the onboard sound function abnormally, if you have made any adjustment to your system hardware or software?
And at this time would you please try to un-install the sound driver in the Add or Remove Program, then install the ALC Series AC'97 Audio Drivers refer to the link below, after this please first check if in Device Manager there is any yellow mark.
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=637&kind=1.
AGAIN MY RESPONSE TO MSI:
Dear Sir,
Thanks for your reply. But reply does not solve my problem. I have tried all that you said in your reply.
I have done nothing to hardware. No electrical problems or burning.
Due to no sound, I have even totally zero filled my SATA hard disk, updated bios, re-installed

Neo4 Platinum (Non-SLi) Audio Plug

I only purchased my computer on friday (17th of June) from a local retailer, and after the initial struggles i have only the one issue left.
i read other topics about on-board audio issues relating to psu conflicts and missing voltage rails (way over my head) but to my understanding that was only to the Diamond and the Neo4 Plantinum SLi versions only. I have the non-SLi version so here is another topic.
Having updated bios and audio drivers and done everything else i can think of - the Front Channel plug of the on-board audio is completely dead. not that the speakers dont work, and as far as i can tell not that the drivers dont work, but well and truely dead, nothing comes out speakers/audio devices connected to the Front Channel plug, not even EMI.
All other channels work fine, and i was almost prepared to purchase a Audigy 2 sound card but also noticed a (long) topic regarding errors there too. Naturally id like to avoid additional purchases if i can, so i thought i might ask the question: Can i / should i send it to be repaired/replaced?
I noticed there is a 7 day dead-on-arrival warrenty, but not sure if this applies to me as i bought it from a local computer store (brand new in the box and invoiced tho)

Ah ok i didnt know who i could take it to to repair.
I installed the drivers off the cd the first time, and after they didnt appear to be working i then formatted the PC and installed those Realtek AC97 drivers. Unfortunately, if i plug the rear speakers into the front channel and the front speakers into the rear channel - the front speakers will play music from the rear channel fine, but the rear speakers on the front channel will be dead.
Thanks for ya time.

Keyboard Not Present with my K8N Neo4 PCI-XPRESS (non SLI)

I need Help with My new MSI K8N Neo4 PCI-XPRESS (non SLI) motherboard. My Keyboard is not showing up during the post screen so I can't get into the BIOS or ANYTHING. Somebody help please.

This is the very same problem that I have with this board, even if you plus a ps2 keyboard and mouse in it does nothing, I had to disconnect the board completely from the power supply, leave it a few minutes and try it again, only then did it work, it only seemed to do this during my OS install, which as you can imagine was loads of fun
Try that out, it should sort your woes out.

K9N PLATINUM(NON SLI) DUAL CHANNEL MODE PROBLEM

hi
put a new system together with the following specs:
amd am2 3800+(2ghz)
k9n platinum 1.20 bios
2x512 kingston ddr2(667mhz)
pci video(yes not pci-e)have not decided which vid card to get yet.
500w psu 12v 35a,5v 25a,3.3v 25a
liteon dvd burner
seagate 300gb ide 7200/16 meg cache windows xp-pro sp2 with all updates.
not overclocking or even trying to.
no sata drives connected.
has never failed to post,boot windows and no lockups or blue screens.
ok,i am trying to get the memory to work in dual mode.
everytime i put the memory in the dual mode slots,the cpu clocks down to 1ghz instead of 2ghz.
verified by bios,windows and cpu-id
i have tried different memory(both ddr2 533 and 667)667 installed now.
also never had any install problems with windows and everything runs fine until i tried dual mode.
after the cpu clocks down to 1ghz,the only way to get it back to normal is a bios reset( load defaults
or press red button).
if i leave the memory as single channel then i have no issues.
also cpu-id says the chipset for my board is nforce 550,i thought k9n platinum had 570 nforce chipset?
this might just be a problem with cpu-id though.
any thoughts on the cpu down clock problem in dual channel mode?
thanks,jeff

1 assume you can get into BIOS with 1 stick only?
Go into the BIOS and manually set the timings and voltage to what your memory manufacturer recommends. Use a 2T command rate and see if it works.
Try both "sets" of dual channel slots, i.e. the two left slots or the two right slots.

K8N Dual video MSI 7900GS OC non-SLI mode not working.

Now, I installed two MSI 7900GS OC and the second card is ignored. That little SLI - nonSLI mode board that we have to switch around is in nonSLI mode. The video cards don't have the SLI card installed between them. I just want to run separate displays. The device manager sees only one video card.
Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

I would have suggested that if I saw your message earlier, but I'm glad you solved it.

Another dual display problem - GeForce FX 5200

I've seen lots of questions about dual display problem, situation when trying to connect two non-apple vga displays to your graphic card.
I have GeForce FX 5200 graphic card, with 2 display output's. And two DELL 17" vga LCD displays.
I manage to connect 1 display regulary with dvi to vga converter, but for other display I tried several difrent converters ADC to DVI to VGA, and it just did NOT work.
G5 could see other display in display settings, in arrange option I coud see two identical displays, but I don't get anu picture (desktop) on other display???
Is it problem with output's on my graphic card (Gforce FX 5200), could it be soloved with some ADC to VGA converter?
P.S. Dr. Bott ADC VGA Extractor is not compatible with GeForce FX 5200????
G5 dual 2.1Ghz Mac OS X (10.3.4)

This won't work if the ADC to DVI adapter is not passing through the analog signals needed for VGA.

It should work. On Dr. Botts web-site it says:

Expanding Mac Pro video card with (non-stock) GeForce 7300 GT?

OK, I've done some Googling and can't really find what I'm looking for, so I thought I would pose the question here as I continue to search around. Here's the situation:
I have a late 2007 Mac Pro with a GeForce 7300GT graphics card that has been working just fine
I wanted to add an additional card in order to output to a TV in my office, so I figured I'd just look for another 7300GT
Found one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/121062296751?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m149 7.l2649
Bought it, installed it. Nothing.
I feel like I should know this already, but does it really matter who the manufacturer is as long as the chipset is the 7300GT? Is there anything I can do to get this situation working or was I a little hasty in buying a card that I didn't fully understand?
Like I said, I'll keep searching around, but any help that anyone could provide would be much appreciated.

The card you have already has two ports on it, and can support two displays at once, according to Apple:
PCI Express graphics
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB (single-link DVI and dual-link DVI)
To convert DVI to HDMI for a TV, all you should need is a DVI --> HDMI cable.
If you are going to buy a new card, the Apple-firmware 5770 (as hatter recommends) can replace your current 7300 card. Works in all models of mac Pro. Accelerated drivers in 10.6.5 and later.
• Only genuine Apple cards are guaranteed to show a picture at power on.
• PC cards flashed with Apple firmware may not show a picture until the login screen, making debugging difficult when your Mac will not boot right up.
• PC-only cards will not show a picture under Mac OS X.
• Note: [This may be changing with some advanced NVIDIA cards in to 600 and 700 series, but they are overkill for this application.]

Dual G5 with Geforce fx5200 running 2 -24 inch displays?

I have a dual G5 with the apple 23" display on a Geforce fx5200 card. It runs the 23" plus a 17" Samsung quite well in Logic Pro. I need more real estate though. Question is will the Geforce run an HP 24" to replace the Samsung 17"
Thanks.

I run Aperture in dual screen mode with a full screen browser on one monitor and and a mirrored image of the selected image on the other monitor.
This doesn't work with dual video cards. Here's a work around
The temporary solution:
1. Arrange the monitors in system preferences so the primary monitor is on the left.
2.Set the viewer mode to "Browser and Viewer"
3. Set the monitors in Aperture to show multiple on the main viewer and "desk top" on the secondary monitor.
4. Toggle the browser to the right hand side of the expanded image, with the inspector on the right hand side of that.
5. Stretch the view screen to cover both screens.
6. Resize the bowser and the inspector to cover the right hand screen.
This now simulates "Browser Only" with mirrored second screen. As long as the "expanded image" is on the primary screen Aperture adjustment inspector works and the images are stable with full histograms.
Apple engineering implies that a dual mini display port card is in the works.

Neo4 Plat SLI & geforce 8800 GTX

Can anyone confirm if the geforce 8800 GTX will run in a Neo4 Plat SLI? The last bios mentions support for the GX2's but no new updates for the 8800 series.

Tested it and it works You might have to fiddle around with the cooler a bit - There's a capacitor next to the PCIE slot wich is in the way
Only 1 card tho, you can't run SLI on this board as the 8800GTX requires a full x16 slot and won't work on a x8 slot
so x8 - x8 SLI won't work.
