[GeForce 6] 6600 GT AGP Problems

I have been dealing with an issue for the past 2 days with this new card. I switched out a 5900 xt and put this card in. Run AM3 @ 3dm03 would not run AM3 and got really bad pixelation in 3DM03.
First thing i do is go into bios and set my fsb back to normal and then uninstall the drivers then reboot into safe mode and run dc3. I install the 71.84 drivers and still does it.
Repeat process and install 71.89 same thing.
Go into bios and turn fast writes off . Same problem.
Try running it at 4X instead of 8X.
By this time I am thinking maybe it is the little cheap psu that came with the case. I pull it out and stick in a Thermaltake 480watt model w0044 and only hook up mobo vid and hd. Still getting the same problem.
I go and download the 66.72 drivers and try them still nothing.
I then decide to download the newest chipset drivers and try them. Still nothing. I noticed when I installed the newest chipset drivers that it didnt install the gart so I unpack the drivers into a folder and manually update using the gart in the package. Reboot run AM3 just fine and 3dm03 just fine. Problem is Only scored 23000 in AM3 and 3400 in 3dm03. So I go to the drivers menu and instead of saying APG Mode 8X it says PCI x0. Run NVHardpage and made sure everything was checked. Go back into drivers and nowhere is there an option for APG rate. Fire up Riva Tuner and get the same thing. So I proceed to rollback my gart drivers and reboot and it shows all APG settings in the driver menu and in Riva Tuner. Fire up 3DM03 and still have the same problem.
I then pull the card out take hsf off clean thermal compound off and appy some AS Ceramique Replace HSF I noticed it was a little loose for my liking so I pulled bracket off and bent it a little bit so the HSF would make better contact with the core. Still gave me the same problem. I go in an under clock the card to 300/600 run 3DM03 still giving me the same problems.
Only way I get it to work is with the gart driver but then it sets it to PCIx0 and no option for AGPsettings anywhere.
Just for my curiosity I pulled HSF back off to make sure I didn't damage when I bent the bracket. Everything was fine, reapplied some AS Ceramique and put back in.
My thoughts are to RMA it and try another one or RMA and get a refund and maybe go up to the 6800.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and Thanks in advance

first off thanks for the help Deathstalker. Tried the fan idea didnt work. I just got done reinstalling xp. Did a clean install loaded 71.89 drivers still ahd the problem. I went in and turned it to 4x apg and left fw turned on and now it is working flawlessly. Got a 7997 on 3DM03 but only a 52,352 in AM3. Everything is at stock speeds. Must have been a driver conflict or something. I am happy now thou. Thanks again for the help.

745 SiS board + LEADTEK 6600 GT AGP

im looking for new GC, and think about LEADTEK 6600 GT AGP.
http://www.leadtek.com/3d_graphic/winfast_a6600_gttdh_1.html
i hear, that this combo 745 SIS + 6600GT from leadtek have serious problems, can anyone confirm ??? thanks or any suggestions, can help

There was only a problem with it in the older drivers, just take the new drivers and it should work fine.
There would be lots of glitches and artifacts in the older driver version, but they got it fixed.

MS6398 AGP problem

Trying to install new 845 Ultra board in existing system. Have old Viper V770U AGP video card. Board will not boot. Tried newer GeForce 440 AGP card. Same thing. Currently have old PCI card and at least it boots. Not sure which voltage the AGP cards are. (How can you tell?). Board's BIOS is at v 3.0 out of the box. Haven't run LiveUpdate yet. Are there any reports of AGP problems with these cards?

Thank you very much for your help. I have already tried everything that you write. I have reinstalled windows many times and put my computer completely apart and put it togheter again pice by piece but with no luck.
The guide that the error meassage refer to did not follow with the card but I have read ATI`s guides on theyre homepage. http://www.ati.com/support/manualpdf/Getting_Startedx800.pdf
I have read the manuals many times and done everything. It was only one thing that was written that was new to me and that was a little pin/or jumper or so on the back of the card. It was for changing between pal and ntsc. I have tried every combinations but with no luck.
Now I am using a completly clean windows installation, but all the software based issues are not related to the fact that the PC will just not boot with the card installed. I have even cleaned all the new cables and taken away dust and so on. I am 23 years old now and have had computers since I was 10 years old(I guess 10 or 15 differnt) but never had any trouble that I could not solve. This hover I find strange. I will ship the card back to the reseller in one day or to.
I am lucky that a norwegian law grants me all the money back (about 400 US dollars) in 2 weeks after buy no matter what the reason is. I only have to pay for shipping.

Tecra S2 - resolution for external monitor on NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600

Hello! I'm new here ...
I have a Tecra S2 with Windows XP SP2 and graphic card NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600. Internal resolution (display of notebook) is 1024 x 768. Its work fine. But I work with an external monitor VGA with "DualView" function. It is a Samsung Syncmaster 940N.
It??s all OK (19", resolution 1280 x 1024), with my new monitor Samsng Syncmaster 203B don't work: The external monitor's native resolution is 1400x1050 but the maximal resolution available is 1280 x 1024. And so, using 1280x1024 resolution, will cause the image on the external monitor and text is not clear.
I cannot set the 1400 x 1050 resolution via Control Panel nor via NVIDIA -menu.
Graphic card drivers are updated to the last version on the Toshiba site. Graphic card NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600 is supported from my monitor Syncmaster 203B.
Max. resolution for external video of NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600 is higher as 1400 x 1050.
I need to use this new monitor, can you help me?
Many thanks in advance!

Unfortunately the Tecra S2 isn't capable to display the resolution 1400x1050.
Here are the resolutions you can use.
Support Resolution/Color(CRT)
640x480 16bit/32bit colors(Depending on CRT)
800x600 16bit/32bit colors(Depending on CRT)

Radeon 128MB 9600XT DDR vs Geforce Fx5700-TD128 8x AGP 128MB

could u tell me what graphicsd card would give me the best perormacnce from my current pc configuration
Radeon 128MB 9600XT DDR
or the
Geforce Fx5700-TD128 8x AGP 128MB

Hi got an Asus 9600xt core speed stock is 500 but can be whacked up well above that, Had mine at 550 and the memory to 340 (680). easy to overclock with the Rage 3d drivers. Gets well into the 4000 in 3d mark and over 32000 in aquamark...Used to use Nvidia but no way now!
And it runs cool and came with masses of software and half life 2 voucher.
Spanks the 5700 in every way including price at just over £100.
But still would prefer a 9800 pro they liquidate all the opposition

MOVED: [Athlon64] AGP problem with my new MSI K8N NEO4-F

This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
[Athlon64] AGP problem with my new MSI K8N NEO4-F

Yes I managed exactly that. I've been out of the computer building business for a while so I didn't know the graphics ports had changed.
I will invest in a graphic card as well, thanks for putting me on track
(The manual sais something about the port supporting 8x agp though? )

Geforce 6600 GT VIVO - Problem of network after WDM drivers installation

Dear All,
I have a big problem and I am not able to fix it. I have a MSI Geforce 6600 GT VIVO with the last nvidia drivers.
I have tried to install the WDM drivers (the one on the CD-ROM or the last issued on the nvidia site) and any
time I did it a new network connection was created (Microsoft TV/Video Connection).
I cannot remove it and it was still there after several reboots. The problem is because of the new network
connection I'am not able to have internet connection (high-band modem using ethernet ; freebox).
Any idea to help me. I didn't find any solution on newsgroups.
André
My config : Windows 2000 (updated) - Asus 7N8X-X (last drivers) - Athlon XP Barton 2600 - MSI 6600 GT VIVO
Direct X 9.0c - 512 Mo - Connection to internet by freebox (Speed 20 Mo) ethernet

I have a problem that seems virtually the same as Andre31bis's. I recently installed an MSI NX 6600GT VTD128 on my system (AMD Athlon XP 3200+, MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR--BIOS version 7.7, NForce chipset drivers version 4.27--with onboard NVidia LAN chip, 1 GB Corsair TWINX1024-3200C2 DDRAM, Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card, Windows 2000 SP4 with all updates, and DSL Internet service). I have the latest NVidia drivers (including video capture) for the card and it works perfectly except that the video capture drivers create a conflict with the network connections. Upon initial installation of the video capture drivers, the VIVO functions work quite well, but when the system is rebooted, the software loads extremely slowly, the network connections do not load, preventing network access, as well as the loading of Norton Antivirus's autoprotect, and ZoneAlarm takes many minutes to load. On such subsequent reboots, looking in the adapters and bindings tab of the advanced settings of network connections shows that none of the network adapters have loaded. I tried the advice given to Andre31bis by user_name, but that had no apparent effect.
Clearly, however, the network interface the video capture drivers try to establish conflicts with the LAN interface and prevents either from loading. I checked the DMA and IRQ settings while the drivers were installed and functioning and no conflicts were indicated.
Does anyone have any other ideas on how to solve this issue?
Thank you.

MSI GeForce 6600GT AGP problems

Hi all,
A couple of days ago i bought the 6600GT 128MB AGP graphics card and i have the following problems.
I have a gigabyte motherboard with a 370 socket, a 4X AGP, and a 350W PSU. I tried 3 games and i got major problems in the graphics in two of them. Doom 3 seems ok, but in painkiller and half-life 2 the polygons dont look right to me (the polygons are corrupted).
Also in the "MSI information" tab in the display properties i got the wrong information about my graphics card. The memory type is wrong (it displays SDRAM) and the AGP 4X in the "AGP/PCI information" is not ticked. I checked my BIOS option and is set to 4X so i dont know whats wrong. I also tried both the 66.93 NVIDIA drivers and the 71.22 drivers from MSI but nothing happened. The polygon coprruption in the aformentioned games remains.
Could please someone help me? Does the 6600GT work on AGP 4X?
Thanks in advance,
Yannis

I tried "dxdiag" to perform some diagnostics on DirectX and while testing the Direct3D capabilities of the card the test fails when using hardware-accelarated Direct3D 8 & 9 interfaces, while passes the test with Direct3D 7. I cannot figure out the problem. I tried everything i could so far but still nothing. Can someone help me? The AGP slot of my motherboard supports 4X (AGP 2.0 compliant). Can this problem be from a damaged graphics card?

Msi GeForce FX 5200 tdr 128 agp problems

Is there any way to use msi GeForce FX tdr 128 in 4x agp mode under windows XP or 98?Is there any way to use thos card in pci mode under WIn XP?

Thanks for your reply.
If it's an hardware thingy then, why even in 3D the fan doesn't spin up? Not even when the core is o/cked?
Beats me. Anyway I'll try to add another fan (5000RPM) to see if it gets better

Geforce 6600GT AGP Problem

First, a thought that was mo MONITOR.. but it isnt....
What happens...my monitor blinks everytime, and the screen get really wired.. like when u uninstall the video drivers... everything gets SLOW... this is whats happening....
What should it be ? temperature ? .... a changed the drivers and nothing.
Thnak You

Sounds to me like you need to re-install the GART drivers, or there may be a conflict with the newer VGA drivers and the current GART driver.
What version of nForce Platform drivers are you using currently? Perhaps it is too old?
They are in the chipset driver installation for your nForce chipset based motherboard.
nVidia Drivers Select "Platform / nForce drivers" > Unified Driver > Your OS
You can also get previous platform driver releases by looking to the grey box on the left labled "Additional Info" and select "Windows XP/2000 Unified Driver Archive"

AGP Problem

Hello,
I have the MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum Mobo, along with it I have a Geforce FX 5950 Ultra and an AMD 64 FX53.
The initial installation seemed to go ok, I installed the chipset drivers as soon as windows XP was on there and then made sure the rest of the hardware was installed and functioning correctly.
I Ran 3Dmark 2003 to compare the hardware change with that of my old Mobo and Processor and the score came out lower than before.
When i checked the detailed information I noticed that on my old system the AGP rate was 8 x /4x8x.
The new motherboard had 0x under its AGP rate.
I was told that I didn't install the chipset drivers correctly. So I formatted my computer and loaded windows XP back on. I installed the chipset drivers straight away and then every subsequent driver after that.
Still no good.
So I loaded the default bios settings. That didn't help.
I have reverted my graphics drivers back to older versions and too be honest have spent so much time on this now that I am at the end of my tether.
If someone has some knowledge of AGP speeds and how I can check the speed the AGP is currently running or if they know of a problem like mine, I would grately appreciate your advice.
hanging on for a reply
Chris

In the Bios my AGP settings are:Graphics card is set to AGP (as opposed to PCI)AGP Aperture size is 256mbAGP 3.0 4x/8xAGP Fastwrite I have disabled although it doesn't make much difference if it is enabled.Memory settings:1024 Corsair with aggressive timings. 2, 2, 5, 2Forceware drivers are 6.1.7.7Its not really a problem with tweaking as this is something I do on a regular basis. My Graphics card is currently set to PCI mode even though its specified as AGP in the bios. This is confirmed when I use the cool bits reg hack to unlock the additional fields in the NVIDIA driver control panel. I have the most recent version of the NForce3 chipset drivers installed, this was the first thing I did after I did a clean install.
you didnt say 1T or 2T , makes quite a difference with this chipset it seems
What kind of score were you expecting to see?
How does your score compare to other people with similar setup?
I must admit if you wanted a high 3dmark03 score, I would have bought a 3800 or 3500+ and put the saved money towards a 6800GT/Ultra or X800 Pro/XT...
if you want to do lots of number crunching , you've bought the right system.
if you look at my specs, im seeing a score of 12,500 without CPU OC and mild GFX OC.
The drivers make quite a difference too.. not sure if 68.xx makes a huge difference on 3dmark03 or not though, but definitely on 3dmark05.

MSI 6385 AGP problems

I have an MS 6385 motherboard running Windows 98 with 256MB RDRAM and a Geforce 4 MX440 Graphics Card. The problem is that the card should run in AGP 4X, but for some reason, in Windows it says it's running in PCI mode. Someone mentioned to get some VIA chipset drivers, but this motherboard doesn't support that chipset. Despite numerous attempts fiddling around in the BIOS, looking on this site for drivers which evidently don't exist, I cannot get the card to run in AGP 4X mode. Please help as this is one hell of annoying problem. Thankyou for your help.

Since the board has an intel chipset the VIA 4in1 is not for you.
You need the intel inf, then reinstall DirectX and the VGA drivers.
You should be running in AGP mode after this.

KT4V-L and MSI Geforce 440 TD8x Corrupt graphics problems

Hi all,
My mate has just recently bought the geforce 440mx MSI card, before this was a bog standard Geforce2 mx card.
Since we've put the card in, after a few minutes in windows the screen gets all corrupted which I'd put down to overheating somewhere, however the card has only been on for a few minutes AND it's not even hot, same for the cpu.
We're using the latest MSI drivers from the site, I'm not quite sure the BIOS is up to date yet but will check that next, but we've had no problems with the GEforce2 before this.
I'd probably put something down to the 8x AGP here but I'm not overly sure, has anyone got any ideas please?
many thanks
Wayne Lee

Hi,
When that type of corruption starts, it normally means that the GPU is overheating.
You better bring the card back and get a new one, as it seems to me that the GPU-cooler isn't cooling much :D
Another problem can be too little power from the powersuply.
My best guess is the GPU-cooler on the vid-card :D

MSI Geforce 3 WDM and bios problem plz help!!!

Hi
I have a MSI Geforce 3 Ti200 Pro-VT and when i install any detenator driver above 23.11 then the capture card wont work! The driver for the capture device says it wont start so i am stuck with 23.11. I have tries later WDM drivers and detenator drivers but they all give the same problem! I have also tried to flash the bios but live update 2 says Your Display Card does not support MSI Live Update 2 function which it is supposed to have. When i go directly to the bios page and try to update it then the update fails. The flash program seems to think that i have a different card or something but my system information says that i do. This it the information:
VGA Card Manufacturer MSI
VGA Card Model Name MS-8850
VGA Card BIOS Vendor NVIDIA
VGA Card BIOS Version 3.20.00.18.03
VGA Card Driver Version 2311
Can someone please help me cause it would be nice to have the latest drivers working for the card.
Thanks
Nixus

I downloaded the bios files from http://tw.msi.com.tw/autobios/SVga/Bios/Ms8850/v111/ and then downloaded NVFLASH.EXE and booted in dos and flashed the card i had to force the flash though it had some conflict of data or something but i knew it was the right bios and i had made a backup of the current one plust the card has dual bios so i wasnt too worried and it all worked out fine.
Goodluck with gettin all your cards workin
Cheers
Nixus

7600GS AGP problem

I just bought a Gainward 7600GS AGP with mainboard nForce2 MSI Delta2 LSR.
after that my monitor gets compleatly black from 2 to 2 minutes without any reason ! I tried to reinstall windows, install latest nVidia drivers, nothing. It could be from Bios ? Do I need a Bios update? But I checked on msi web site and latest Bios available is 5, the same as mine ???

hi there,
read Moan Guide 1st, and provide full PC specification including PSU brand with details(can be found on the PSU sticker) to get better picture about the problem.
"after that my monitor gets compleatly black from 2 to 2 minutes without any reason !"
where this happend? under OS? in games only or in normal browsing for example? what VGA drivers are installed?
also paste BIOS Cell Menu settings.
Yes under Windows XP. If I am not able even to browse the internet, you realised that I cant play any game.
The drivers are from CD of MSI (mainboard) and CD from Gainward ( videocard). I set in BIOS AGP Fat write to disable/enabled but nothing happend.
I reinstalled Windows XP with sp2 again because I belived it's a drivers problem, but the problem didn't dissapear even with latest nVidia video drivers (93.17). That problem dont occured on Bios boot steps , only after Windows XP is running...
