G41M-P34 mobo Vid Card compatability

My VESA 9500 1G just fried ,k so time to Upgrade
Will the G41M-P34 take any Vid card? IE - PCI = yes ,, PCI-2 =??? ,, PCI-3 = ???
I am Extremely happy with the G41M-p43 and have been running it Since 2005 /6
Maybe Time to Upgrade MoBo to an i7 and pass this one off to the Kid
Any recommends for a 2gig Vid card for the G41M-P34
Recommends for a New i7 + moBo and 3gig or 4g Vid card

G41M-P34 is a totally outdated board using PCI-E Gen 1. As all Gen2 and above AMD cards are causing compatibility issues with old Gen 1 boards you can already forget about any Radeon card. With Nvidia cards chances are better but none the less It might still not work if the outdated bios refuses to work with a current generation vga. Compatibility issues when trying to combine ancient hardware with latest stuff are waiting to happen. To be pretty safe get any used GTX660(ti)/670/680 to upgrade the current machine. Also be aware that the size of the vram does not say anything about the performance of the card.
For a new machine if wanting an i7 and not considering oc get i7-4790 else get i7-4790K.
Good boards would be Z97 GAMING 7, Z97-GD65 GAMING or Z97 MPOWER. Everything below those doesn't offer a backup bios and everything above doesn't really add more useful features.
For a vga R9 280(x) GAMING are very cheap at the moment and can be a good deal, same goes for GeForce GTX 780 GAMING cards. 780 is the by far faster of course. The very latest generation would be the GTX 970.

Conflict with Battlefield 1942 and mobo/vid card, not sure which.

Well, not I got a problem, regretably. I just bough BF 1942 and now when I play it, after about 10 mins of gaming, the game will just quit back to Windows. Not sure if this is the vid card or my mobo causing this problem.
Anyone got any helpful ideas?

and if you have already done that then look at your heat is your cpu getting too hot i know this used to happen too me often the game does a no. on your cpu it is pretty intense alos check you internet connection sometimes wrong settings on the nic will cause it
go too http://www.battlefield1942.com and click on support and read the faqs could also be your drivers

H67MA-E45 mobo & grapics card compatibility???

I have this H67 mobo and I'm using the Intel embedded graphics. I would like to enhance the video and use if possible two monitors at a time (SLI or Crossfire), but I am concerned with compatibility issues. Any suggestion on a compatible card? Thanks for your help.

You are using H67MA-E45 (B3) or not B3 version?
You can search on the internet for what graphics cards others are using with the same mobo.
If you need using two monitors at the same time, you don't have to setup SLI or Crossfire, just plug extra graphics card and enable "IGD Multi-Monitor" in BIOS, then you can use one monitor from Intel embedded graphics and the other monitor from extra graphics card.

G41m-P34 Fail to post

Fails to post unless you power off and power on 5 to 10 times then will post and runs fine.
I have taken everything out of case and tried this way as well, same problem.
Running Pentium d 820 2.8g
Kingstone khx1333c7d3k2/4gx
tried 2 pci video cards out of working systems.
Tried 2 power supplies
The LED light on the mother board will stay on when it fails to post but if you power off and power on 5-10 times it will post and was able to install windows just fine. until reboot..

See here http://www.msi.com/product/mb/G41M-P34.html#?div=CPUSupport
It supports this one: Pentium D Smithfield SL8CP 820 2.80 2M B0
Is that the one you have ? Check the code SL8CP
Please advise your BIOS version as the CPU is supported from 7592vP6 dated 2011-02-14, which is pretty recent.
If you have an older BIOS then you will have to get a compatible CPU first to do a safe BIOS flash.
Use the forum flasher if you are going to flash. >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<

Dual ADC displays and a vid card w/ no ADC ?

Hi.
I've got a PowerMac G4 with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro vid. card. I bought it when I purchased my 17" Apple display not knowing that the Apple display had its own connector that required me to but a $99 adaptor that also requires a power cord!
Anyway, my old CRT (that acted as my 2nd display on the G4) finally died. I purchased a nice 15" Apple display, but apparently forgot to consider the ADC connection.
I need a cheap, fast solution.
I've got a G4 with the 9800 Radeon which has a DVI and VGA connection.
By the way, does having 128MB DDR of video ram help with rendering time??
Ok, back to the original question.
I also have the original video card that came with the PowerMac G4 1.2mhz Quicksilver. I believe it's an 9000 Radeon. It's got an ADC and VGA connection.
How can I setup a dual display on the G4 with the two Apple displays? Both are ADC and neither card has (2) ADC connections.
I've got two ADC to DVI convertors and I have the VGA to DVI convertor that came with my 17" apple display, but the DVI end doesnt match the DVI end on the 2nd ADC to DVI convertor.
Any suggestions? Is there a dual ADC video card?

Hi
As far as I'm aware, the Radeon 9000 that came as the stock graphics card in certain PowerMacs had an ADC connector and a DVI connector. It also came with a DVI to VGA adapter. If this is the case you should be able to attach one monitor directly to the ADC connector and the other to the DVI connector using the $99 DVI to ADC adapter. You'd be losing the benefit of the Radeon 9800 though.
Unfortunately there aren't any graphics cards with dual ADC connectors, as the card (and AGP slot) would have to provide enough juice to power two monitors. The options seem to be:
1. One AGP card with an ADC connector and DVI connector, which would require one DVI to ADC adapter, such as the Radeon 9000.
2. One AGP card with two DVI connectors, which would require two DVI to ADC adapters, such as the Radeon 9600 retail version. Mines worked perfectly, although there do seem to be problems with it in certain Quicksilvers and Digital Audio G4s.
3. One AGP card with a DVI connector, which would require a DVI to ADC adapter, such as your existing Radeon 9800 and one PCI card with a DVI connector, which would also require a DVI to ADC adapter, such as the Radeon 9200. An AGP card with an ADC connector would also work but seems pointless given you've already got the 9800 and adapter.
Unfortunately I'm not sure there is a really cheap solution. As already mentioned, there are VGA to DVI converter boxes on the market, but they're incredibly expensive and you'd be converting from digital to analogue and back to digital, with some loss of quality.

ATI vid.card trouble shoot guide

True,
There seem to be some stabilty issues with ATI, all of which can be overcome.
First is the VPU recover option. That option makes it less stable and does nothing beneficial, best turn it off.
Also faste write (bios option), it doesn't enhance performance, only decreases stabalitity.
If it is still unstable, set AGP to 4x. This makes it slighly (less then 1pct. ) slower, but might make it more stable.
Other drivers occasionly might help. For older cards, older drivers are best suitable. E.g. a R9700 runs best on Cat 4.5. Do make sure the driver you use supports the DirectX version that you need !
Last resort is upping the AGP voltage (no more then 0,1v !). If it is still instable, RMA it !
Despite the issues, I still think ATI makes very good vid.cards. My next card wil probably be an ATI again

And I thougt you were my friend
Look here for the performance difference fast write and AGP4x make:
http://www.pctuning.cz/Default.aspx?CatID=75&LayId=2&ArtId=19189&ChapID=4944
These tests have been done with a 9700PRO the difference will probably be more significant with a faster card.
Furthermore, take into account that a 9600 draws from the 5v line, the 9700, 9800 and X800 draw from the 12v line as well.

Vid card for TV to HD Display yet?????/

Aloha All,
I am wondering where to find a vid card that allows cable hookup to see tv on my 30" HD display. I am not looking for a unit to record TV. I am looking for a card to fit into the pci express slot and be able to do both computer and TV functions on my 30" display and preferably in HD of course.
Ideally one card with a cable input and DVI out, and or one with a switch to go back and forth.
Does anyone know if anyone has make the like and if so where, ($$$$ not an issue), Maybe I should make one my self. What do you think?
Mahalo RDM

tadaaaa

Vid card issues I think??

Good day, I'm having some major issues with my card "I think"
When playing MOH Pacific Assault, Battlefield Vietnam, and Doom3 my sys locks up and/or I get major video corruption. I have tried updating all of the drivers forward and backward and no luck . One error that I get says that the Vid card got stuck in a loop. I have gone to the Nvida and EA site and no help. The only thing that I found was that their is a known issue with MOB running with Nforce 3 chips and to uninstall the GART driver "No idea how???" Here is the post on that, some of it doesn't apply (ATI, Punk Buster,
"This combination of hardware has been reported to freeze gameplay, and is due to a combination of these hardware elements. Resolving this issue has become a stalemate between ATI, Nvidia and Evenbalance. Here is some information which may help you address this issue:
Problem does not occur on non-Punkbuster servers.
This problem seems specific to WinXP.
Removal of the Nvidia GART Driver clears this problem up.
Reverting to ATI's 3.9 seems to clear this up for some.
Reducing the AGP aperture size reduces the amount of delay.
Decreasing the PB scan frequency with pb_sleep decreases the frequency of the freezes.
Changing from an ATI to Nvidia card seems to have eliminated problems for many users."
Any idaes???? Thanks..

Hi,
I wouldn't remove the GART driver. I have a NF3/6800 Ultra OC setup and I disabled fastwrites in my system bios to resolve loops and freezes. The combo works wonders now!
Good Luck,
You want to try the easiest solutions first and turning off fast writes would be a good place to start as suggested. If it is not implemented properly it can cause instability.
There are also a few other settings that should be in there you can try messing with such as AGP Aperture, 4X or 8X...etc.
I also would use 3DMark 2001 as a stability test. It pretty much runs with every video card and drivers out there. Using a game might not be a good idea because a lot of games have problems with certain drivers or certain cards. At least if it passed 3DMark you would have some idea its not the drivers, card or even gart.
If it doesn't pass 3DMark then I would start looking at your motherboard drivers (GART). The chance of 3DMark not working with any version of Nvidia drivers is very slim unless they are corrupted.
To uninstall the GART you would go into device manager and right click it and uninstall. Windows will restart and try to install drivers on it's own. You can cancel it by clicking on the icon in the system tray if your quick enough. (WinXP)
Another way to do it, is just updating the drivers by again going into device manager, right clicking and this time picking update drivers.
You should have the drivers you want to use on the computer somewhere like maybe the desktop.
Another thing you can try is reinstaling DirectX, that is one of those easy things that doesn't hurt anything to try. Also make sure your video card is not overheating in the case. Open the case and have a house fan blowing on it while you try 3DMark or playing a game.
One last thing when you look in device manager the GART might not be listed as GART, at least on my NF7-S it is not listed that way. The GART would be anything related to AGP under "System Devices"

Help! Need a quick answer about motherboard + vid card

Hi everyone,
Okay I am pretty scared right now. I got a new vid card, the MSI n9008gt. I also got a 6pin PCI connector for my power supply to power the card. I have a 450watt power supply. And my motherboard is a GeForce7050M.
I put my card in, I attached the power supply to the card, and then plugged it in and pushed the power button.
I hear my motherboard fan, my HD, and the vid card fan. But no display, and nothing else... I think to myself, hmmm. So I unplug my card and take it out and use the intergrated card, and the fan starts up and my HD starts up, but still nothing happens. The motherboard doesn't even beep... Did I fry my motherboard....? :( This is what I fear the most.
(and no I'm not on that PC right now this is an older one.)

But I'm figuring that I don't even hear the bios beeps, so the motherboard is just fried.

Mega 180-----Media Center III and a Vid Card----Working???

I'm trying to narrow down what is causing Media Center III to crash intermittently on my Mega 180.
I think I have it narrowed down to the SoundStorm drivers conflicting with Media Center III
But I want to eliminate that it is a problem with the 18G "Crush" onboard video chipset. I am using the onboard only.
Anybody have a vid card in their AGP slot of the Mega 180 and use Media Center III??
Are you still getting crashes in Media Center III??
John

Finally I give up using the Media Center. I'm using now Girder with Nathans great plug in (see MSI Mega series girder plugin version 1.0 available ). The only disadvantage is that the fancy leds are not working.

to put it in words its like the screen was beating like a heart
every 2 seconds the screen would do something weird its hard to explain but im sure you understand
well now i got my fx5900xt and i just ran 3dmark03 on my whole computer ran every test and i got a score of a little over 4800 (thats on everything) and i noticed on the tests it did that heart beating thing again
how can i fix this?
i also ran it just on my vid card with the anisotropy turned down to 1 and set the resolution to 800x600 and i got a little over 5700 but it still had that heart beting thing again thru the tests

Vid Card Recommendations

I'm ready to purchase a vid card.
Thanks for your help.

TDs/ TDRs/ VTDs/ VTDRs/ are the model of the card representing different make that they are for... TDs are the standard version without Video Decoder.
Since you said that framerates isn't a concern, the FX5200 Ultra for $115 USD isn't a bad choice, but like what I said, you can save around $20 USD for the normal non-Ultras, but I'm not indicating that the ultra isn't a good choice.
Anyway, the $$$ comes out from your pocket and I'm just giving a feedback on price vs performance for the cards.
P.S> The Ultras are still capable of coping games with normal fps, if you would want to start gaming in the future, the Ultra will be good. But I did not recommend it as you said that you aren't concern about fps...

Something is o/c my vid card

ive read some posts that mentioned this but i have never had it happen in my own system. but now for some random reason i checked my clock freq and it now shows
367/1.05
i had just been leaving it at stock 350/1000
WHAT IS O/CING MY VID CARD???
im running 61.77

Yes these were my posts.I discovered my Radeon 9800 Pro was being o/ced and producing artifacts when using i think bios 1.2 beta.The same happened with 1.3 beta and switching the option NV/ATI acceleration to disabled didn't help.Now i'm using 1.48B and the problem seems to have gone away.
Try flashing to this bios and see if the problems go away.Then post your results.

2. Left click all the way down left and type 'Power Options'. On the left side you have 'Choose what the power buttons do'
3. Left click all the way down left and type 'Power Options'. Click on whichever 'Change plan settings' then click 'Change advanced power settings'.
You have '+ Power buttons and lid' there and be sure to check for all power plans (Balanced, Power saver, High performance ...)
For some reason 'Power Options' in Win7 are horribly designed, so you have to go and check all these options :(
