FX5600 VTDR-128 performence

Hey guys, i jsut got HALO for pc and tried it out on my FX5600 VTDR128
it runs VERY slow, so i had to turn the graphics all the way down and need to run it at 800x600. is this just the video cards slowness? or could it be somethnig else with my system?
I have a :
amd athlon xp 2500+ barton
asus a7n8x deluxe
1gb ddr400 ram
80gb WD hardrive
msi geforce fx5600 vtdr-128 video card
benq fp767 17" lcd monitor (16ms response time)
Im jsut wondering, is this the performence i should be having? or is it a little slow?

yup
what are your system specs? what kind of processor how much ram?
i have not personally bought the game yet, but i have read two reviews that stated unless you have a bawlin system running top speed, your framerates are gonna be very unsatisfying. its not a problem with your card or even the drivers, the game was written poorly with mid-range systems in mind. the fact that this is a 2 year old game, makes this situation EXTREMELY disappointing. yes, the developers had to port it over to the PC platform, but if you wanna look at it like that, the XBOX is the closest console there is to a PC. they had 2 years to tweak this game, even with a FEW improved graphical effects, it is STILL running on technology that is 2 years old. GeForce 3 graphics + some more current pixel and vertex shaders, and the game CHOPS like a cooking show on the food channel. very disappointing. maybe there will be patches to the game in the future to deal with this situation. for now, you're stuck like the rest of us unless you upgrade to some serious firepower. sorry, it sucks.

Oh -- By the way, that picture is over the size limit defined in the forum rules in tems of pixels, but the file size is okay. I'll let it slide. Watch the bumping as well.
If you want to post the switches tab, upload it to someplace like http://img3.imageshack.us/, copy the thumbnail (which has the link to the original) back here, and you are golden.
I had a bear of a time getting the microphone working on my HP DV4, but it does work. I'll look at the set up when I get home tonight [USA-PDT].
Sorry for the picture and the "bumping"... I have asked in irc in arch and alsa channels and no luck yet... one guy from alsa said I had to wait for the alsa-driver-1.0.24 package (currently I have alsa-driver-1.0.23) but it is weird because the microphone worked some months ago...
So here is what it is under the switches tab

FX5600 VTDR 128 - Remote DOESN'T WORK

1st. sorry about my english skills
I've tried every driver, patch for Mediacenter, Girder, MSI Remote SDK, ...
NONE of them could make my remote work!
All i have (on Mediacenter AND Girder) are "phantom" remote commands (0,1,3,2,0, 1, 3, 2,...) EVEN with the MSI VIVO+IR adapter disconnected from vga board!! ;( They appear on WinDVD main window (and makes DVD discs change chapters like crazy)... Girder shows the same sequence numbers and the remote is simply ignored X(
My setup:
- Asus P4S8X-X w/ P4 2.4
- 512 MB PC2700 DDR
- SB Live! value
- Adstech firewire card
- ADMtek nic

Please help !!

Not solved tihs problem yet

VTDR-128 fx5600 - No Color Red on VGA plug (d-sub port)

okay, i have a couple other posts here and i've decided to clean up my plea for help a little bit because i've solved the worst of my problems and, being more educated, can explain things a little easier.
i will recap my experiance now:
2-3 months ago i bought my spanking new VTDR-128 fx5600 card from a well known vendor. i was given a period of 2 weeks for vendor RMA, but i waited too long as this card was intended for a system i was building for someone else. when we finally were able to test it:
1: system would crash within five minutes, max.
2: no color red output from the monitor plug (d-sub port?)
3: bad, horrible artifacting in all games and even during low resolutions 2D windows usage. after power off, card heatspreader could almost burn my finger if i touched it.
4: color looked fine on both tv-out dongle and dvi > CRT adapter that came with the card, if only i could boot for more than a few minutes at a time
i wish i had taken pictures, but one day, i was convinced the card was "dead" and i decided to take the cooler off and put it on an older card i have. i carefully removed the cooler front, then back, and noticed on the back, one of the ram chips was a smudge of thermal interface material (in the pins and such, on other components as well)
i was astonished, i jumped with glee, and spent 45 minutes with a fine bristled brush. after many inspections with a magnifying glass, and almost half a can of maxell "blast away" canned air, i put the card in my computer, re-loaded the newer drivers, installed all the msi software, and proceeded to run benchmarks!
i was so happy i could pee my pants. somewhere in the manufacturing process i think something got a little messed up and the thermal paste was smudged. even with hefty overclocks the cooler doesnt feel NEARLY as hot as my old ti4200.
many people have been disappointed with performance from this card, but i am very impressed! i was able to run halo before at ~20-30FPS, now i'm getting 50 and things are much prettier. its added 4000-6000 to my aquamark score, and i went from 11000 to 16000 in 3Dmark2001SE.
the reason i'm posting again is because i want the vga plug to work. nview dualview does not work with the DVI adapter and i use my TV for gaming. so if i want to game i have to deal with the monitor having no color red.
this card has been tried now in 3 systems, with 3 different monitors and the color RED is not visible on any (with the vga plug (d-sub))
i am forced to believe nothing is wrong with my system, and it relies solely on a mistake made in manufacturing. the card overheated and crashed and burnt before i took the heatspreader off, after cleaning the paste off it works perfectly.
so, maybe GlennVidia will be kind to tell me if:
MSI will help me fix or issue a replacement. i doubt this has happened too many times before, i am probably one out of a million buying a graphics card with this mistake.
i've made many attempts at contacting MSI support, and i've read through faqs and KB so many times i could write an encyclopaedia.
do you think MSI would even admit a mistake, i am betting that first they just tell me "i voided my warranty". that makes me want to cry! i emailed them 5 times so far, and they only tell me to "RMA with vendor" and "test in another systems" even after i explained everything...
::sigh::
i'd do anything to get this card working, i love it regardless of it's redless vga!

First step would be to create the necessary entries (easier to make a complete xorg.conf versus xorg.conf.d/##-whatever.conf).
All Desktop Environments / Window Managers rely on X. Man pages are helpful, possibly some headaches ahead as I fought a dual-monitor display this way.

Fx 5600 vtdr 128 mb or gforce 4 ti 4800 vtd

HELLO , I AM FROM BRASIL AND I WANT TO KNOW WICH
VIDEO CARD IS THE BEST FOR GAMES ???
FX 5600 VTDR 128 MB or GFORCE 4 ti 4800 VTD ??
Thank you.

Generally the Ti4800, in some cases if your running with AA the FX5600 could be faster.
An FX5600 Ultra or Radeon 9600 Pro would be better if you can afford them, or even better a Radeon 9700 (non pro).

MSI FX 5600 VTDR 128 VGA card, Pinnacle 8.8.17 SE REBOOTS Windows XP when it renders.

The Problem is that once video is captured by the MSI FX 5600 VTDR 128 VGA card, Pinnacle 8.8.17 SE crashes Windows XP when it renders.
I am using the latest MSI 44.03 drivers and the WDM drivers as shown in Windows XP system properties, hardware, are 2.0.3.0 09/04/2003.
The VGA card is set to CLONE mode and OVERLAY controls to FULL SCREEN DEVICE = SECONDARY DISPLAY, to get video output using thesupplied 9-SSCCR adaptor and
S-VHS cable to an analog VCR.
IF I DISABLE THE OVERLAY CONTROLS, RENDERING COMPLETES, XP DOES NOT REBOOT, BUT I CAN NO LONGER EXPORT TO THE VCR!!!!
I would appreciate any assistance or explanation.

Temp tab in 52.16 forceware driver for MSI FX5600 VTDR

Hi all,
I've installed new forceware (52.16) driver from Nvidia, and I cannot find the "Temperature" tab in the driver's control panel. (MSI FX5600 VTDR on K7N2 Delta-L).
This temp. feature is enabled on fx5600 gpu?!?
Also I noticed that the menus are not very clear with this driver.
Any hints?!?
Many thanks:)

FX5600 VTDR Remote control

Does anybody know if the remote control that comes with the VTDR MSI video cards, can be used for something else than the Media Center ?
Thank You.

A Plugin for Girder would be absolutely great!
Unfortunately mail to your hushmail-account returns.
Do you have anything online or could you send it
to me?

In some other thread, ou wrote about four DLLs that handle
IR-IO and some documentation on it. Could you point me to them, too?
I'd really mutch appreciate that and thank you
very much in advance.

MSI k7N2 Delta ILSR,AMD 2700+ & MSI GFORCE FX 5600 VTDR 128 Overclock

Guys, I have the above mentioned GPU, Mobo & CPU (Box edition with AMD FUN). Can anyone tell me the best way to overclock them at the highest possible mark?

StormRider,
Best way to overclock???? Humm......
Start with a big Case, then get a large Brand Name Top of the Line Power Supply. Then get a Ultra High Performance Heatsink and Fan for your CPU, I prefer a Peltier, others prefer Water. Then put a bunch of fans in your case and make sure you have all your wires run so you get great airflow. Then get High Performance RAM for overclocking, I use Mushkin Level II Black. (If you can still find any.)
Last thing that many people forget, have your computer in an air conditioned space.
Then go have at it. Overclock like crazy.
Take Care,
richard

My fx5600 vtdr does not exists!

ok, I have installed the Media Center, and it does not work (script error, see my first post on this forum), I have installed wdm drivers 2.03 to enable video in, and my sb live! 5.1 can't play any dvd in othr way that stereo (see my second post on this forum)...
now, anyone can tell me why latest version (2.14) of 3D! Turbo Experience does not recognize my fx card, and live update 2 (latest version, 3.39) does not recognize its bios version (nvidia detonator 44.67 say 4.31.20.40)?
my configuration is:
amd athlon 1800+, 320mb
abit k7a (via kt133a, agp4x)
win2k, sp4, ie6, via hyperion 4.48, dx9.0b

most likely for the same reason that my Ti4200 8x -vtp (MS-8889) is not recognized by that sw, but it seems that ony god knows what that reason is..... I have posted about my problem but only got slagged off by the person replying for not reading bulletins etc... if he would have read my post he would have realized that I had read the bulletin, but hey....
I also emailed the support and the suggestion they gave me was to uninstall the WDM drivers but that didnt help in my case, you might have better luck tho if you want to have a go at that... I replied to the support that I tried uninstalling the WDM driver but still had a problem and havent heard anything back, thats a few weeks now.....
I have basically given up on MSI....
The support suggestion indicates to me that my card should support hardware monitoring but it doesnt seem like anyone in MSI knows exactly what cards do or dont support this function, the fact that they suggest removing the WDM driver to get the HW monitoring to work is not actually an option for me either as I need both functions, I'm currently looking for a new card from another manufacturer....
good luck in getting your card to work....

5600 vtdr 128 flickers

Guys, long time not see...
Got an annoying problem with my vga for a month or so now.
Everytime i load a 3d game (Colin McRae 4, Hitman 3 etc. you name it) or a 3d application (3d mark etc...) the screen flickers and then it goes black. I have checked the AGP on my mobo (MSI K7N2 Delts-ILSR) and it works fine with others vga's(ATI nad nvidia likes). I don't overclock the vga at the moment and not for the past 4 months or so. It's in its defaults 325/550.
Anyone with a suggestion?

???-)I read the manual and the rest but there's nothing on this particular problem. Guys i'm desparate. The vga has surely paid it's bucks up until now and i don't want to change it, it hasn't even been used for a year! It's full of capabilities (TV-Out, Video-in & Out, TV-Encoder etc.)....
Please help if you can.
As i said, on any 3d program or game, the card seems to getting extremely hot(the fan works at full speed though) and at first the image on the screen starts flickering and after a while (half a minute or so) the screen goes black. This doesn't happen on 2d applications and games (Windows Desktop, Rise of nations, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City etc.). I don't know what's the problem, that's why i'm asking you...

FX5600-VTDR using IR under linux

Hi,

Hi all,
same problem here, not with Linux, but with VESA3 modes under DOS!
Setting refresh rates with UniRefresh does not work, I always get 60Hz.
UniRefresh says that the video card (MSI GeForce 5900 Ultra VTD 256) HAS a VESA 3 BIOS, but you can't make any changes to the display settings. (This worked well with my former video card, a GeForce 3 TI500)
Is there any official statement that GeForce FX cards DO support VESA3? I am beginning to doubt this...
Shouldn't it be possible to edit the card's BIOS to set the refresh rates for VESA modes (640x480x8, etc.) to a higher value? Anybody know how this could be accomplished?
Thanks for your help

FX5600 VTDR 128mb - AGP Sideband ??

Hi,
i´m new here....
When i open the 3D turbo experience, at the right botton side, there apears the status and information of my VGA card, but there is something about: AGP SideBand What is that ??
At my sideband status it is shown: AGP SideBand Disable
Please....give some help about that,
Rmk: Sorry about my english, i´m from Brazil
Thanks!!!

NovJoe,
Not everyone can enable the feature as I said, I downloaded and installed MSI's 52.14 driver that I have to mention is NOT WHQL'd, your signature says you have a 5216 WHQL'd driver. What's up with that?
I cannot enable the feature due to the fact that MSI disables the feature in the BIOS as outlined by nVidia spec. That's one of many reasons I avoind manufacturers drivers, not to mention the mess it just made of my system
That is why you see so many problems on this forum, I think the forum Tinkerer is also part of the MSI driver team.
I had the new nVidia drivers 53.03 installed previously, used driver cleaner to remove the remaning files and ended up not being able to install the drivers because of the problem that users were reporting after using the Driver Cleaner Utility about the section missing in the Inf file. Additionally, I had MSI's drivers installe to test yet another problem prior to nVidia's 53.03. Another reason I do not like MSI's drivers. They are mixing and matching files from older versions, hence the INF problem.
Heres proof:
