GeForce 6600GT » NX6600GT-VTD128 Query

Hi
I would like to buy the GeForce 6600GT » NX6600GT-VTD128 graphics card from the retailer pixmania but i have a query about something they (pixmania) advertiste the GeForce 6600GT » NX6600GT-VTD128 as MSI NX6600GT-VTD128M - 128 Mo.
http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/130210/art/msi/nx6600gt-vtd128m-128-mo-t.html
May i ask what the M stands for after the VTD128 because ive always know it to be described as NX6600GT-VTD128 without the M.
And could you please confirm that that graphics card on pixmaina is the same as the one on the offical MSI site
http://msicomputer.co.uk/Products.aspx?product_id=703575&cat_id=78
thanks all

Ruud00,
I think M stands for Typo.
Take Care,
Richard
P.S. MSI only makes one AGP 6600GT - NX6600GT-VTD128

[GeForce 6] NX6600GT-VTD128 Video Capture

As many of you probably know, the v1.08 WDM drivers are Macrovision free. However, I can't install them on my NX6600GT-VTD128. I get the notorious "Code 10: Device cannot start" error when I use them. The supplied v4.05 work fine, but are NOT Macrovision free. What am I to do?
System Spec:
(All the latest drivers installed)
MSI K8N Neo 2 (BIOS v1.5)
Athlon64 3200+ (overclocked to 4200+, I love MSI)
MSI NX6600GT-VTD128
Sound Blaster Live! DE 5.1
200GB WD HD (PATA)
480W Thermaltake PSU
WindowsXP SP2

I have exactly the same problem. I have downloaded the latest WDM driver kit from the nVidia site.
After installation two devices are detected. Going through the installation of the the first device (nVidia WDM Video Capture (universal)), this ends with the message that the device cannot be started (code 10).
The second device (nVidia Crossabr A/V) does install and start.
I want to use the video-in on my NX6600-128E for capturing old VHS tapes.
I have tried the WDM drivers both with VGA driver version 72.14 and 77.72. Same results!
Any help is much ap preciated!

[GeForce 6] nx6600gt-vtd128 vivo driver for windows xp x64 edition?

Are there any (beta or release) wdm driver for this msi's nx6600gt-vtd128 for windows xp x64 edition? If not, are there plans to make an x64 driver in the near future?

I have the same card, and i can't find ANY capture driver for it. Not even the WindowsXP 32-Bit.
Could you enlighten me on where exactly did you see the 32bit capture drivers? (Other than the MSI CD)
EDIT:
Now I noticed you said NVDIA's Website, they're even older than the ones MSI provided on the CD. Older by like 2 years.
What I'm looking for, is a place where I can find fresh new WDM drivers. Or at least an online package of what's on the CD
Drivers should not be availiable only on a CD.

[GeForce 6] NX6600gt -VTD128 or NX6600gt-VTD128SP

A newbie question:
I will be buying a new video card shortly.
Right now I am considering either a NX6600GT –VTD 128 or an NX6600GT-VTD 128SP.
Question one:
I have lots of analog hi 8mm tapes that I want to convert to digital, will the VIVO card allow me to do the conversion as long as I have video capture software?
Question two:
the SP card is $15 more expensive that the standard model. The difference I see the between the two cards is the type of memory; DDR3 Vs GDDR and the SP model does not show the VIVO cables being provided? Am I better off with the more expensive card given what I want to do: import the analog video? And are the vivo cables provided with the SP model?
Your comments will be appreciated.

Quote from: fxh on 11-July-05, 09:27:01
Well I received and installed the NX6600-VTD128SP card. All went well. What I was surprised about is the lack of documentation on the use of the VIVO fuction. For us that know nothing about video capture it can be a challenge.
As I mentioned before on this tread, I want to convert Hi8 analog video to DVD. My current camcorder is a Sony trv36. It only has to connection points, one for video and one for sound. I am looking for some real basic "how to" intrusion on this issue. In searching this group I did not find any real resource material. Can any of you help out and point me in the right direction? Any recommendations will be appreciated.
A have found a lot of video cards have a lack of documentation.
I have never actually captured video, but I would install this. It is for the Geforce 6 series of cards. I'm not 100% sure if it's needed for video capture, but it certainly won't hurt anything to install it. I've installed it on a system with an MSI 6600GT even though I've never used that system for video capture.
This is from the nVidia website.
"This driver supports support video capture and TV tuning on graphics boards with the correct video input connectors and TV tuners. This driver will work with Windows XP / 2000 / Me / 98SE.
Products Supported:
All VIVO-enabled graphics boards."
http://www.nvidia.com/object/wdm_geforce6_4.09
After you install that you need some software that will capture the video.
I would give Windows XP Movie Maker a try first. It's installed by default with Windows XP. It's in the "Entertainment" group in the Start menu. You should connect your camcorder S-Video output to the input on the Geforce6 dongle cable. If the camcorder doesn't have S-Video output then use Composite output. If it has audio output it's probably using a 3.5 mini stereo jack, which you should be able to plug into a audio input on your sound card or audio input on your motherboard.
After making all the connections give Windows XP Movie Maker a try. If that doesn't work then I would Google a search for free or cheap video capture software. I was also told that MSI Media Center that comes on one of the CD's with the MSI 6600GT can capture video, but I've never tried it.

[GeForce 6] NX6600GT-VTD128 HeatSink Screw

This is probably a unique problem but I figure I would ask your guys opinion. Recently one of the screws that hold the heatsink to the video board broke. To be exact the top of the screw split in half. Anyone with experience with this series knows that these screws are somewhat special because they allow a metal bracket (not sure of a good way to describe it) to slide into them. I emailed MSI about the problem and they finally emailed me back stating that I should supply a credit card number so they can bill me $10 and send me a new screw. Does anyone have a better solution or should I just pay the $10, I had my hopes MSI would just send them. Thanks for the input everyone.

10$ for that screw? Is it made of gold or titanium? If it is, let me know. I'll sell it and put something else. You could try a regular screw of the same diameter. But you'd probably have to shorten it a bit.
P.S. I did the same thing with AS5, same results...

[GeForce 6] Big Problems with NX6600GT VTD128 AGP and Video Overlay

Got trouble to Install the NX6600GT VTD128 AGP VGA-Adapter right.
I already tried out with latest Drivers from MSI 71.22 and the ForceWare 66.93 NVidiadrivers, but no Overlay at all in my Grabbing Software.
It's a DV-Storm of Canopus with Storm Edit installed. With my Ti4200 (also MSI VGA-Card) never had those Problems.
In the Canopus Storm-Edit Software is an Preview-Window to check the grabbing Process. Now, with the new 6600GT Card it's a black screen.
When I press any key, shortly I see a TV Picture. It's an Overlay Problem of the 6600GT.
How do I have to install/configure the 6600GT VGA that Overlay is working fine.
The System:
Intel P4 HT 3,2 GHz
ASUS P4P800 with AGP 8x
DV-Storm in PCI Slot 2
IDE Raid Promise Fasttrack 100
1024 MB DDR400 Corsair CL2
Latency Timer on 128 (doesn't work with PCI Latency Timer = 64 too)
DirectX 9.0c, XP with SP2 and latest Patches, MSI-Driver Version 71.22 (or Reference Driver 66.93 NVidia)
This Configuration is working fine (Overlay = OK) when re-install the GeForce4 Ti4200 of MSI
>>>Problem solved<<<
.....a wonderful Canopus Patch to "clean" the ForceWare Drivers like a big LIGHT in the Nvidia-DARKNESS gives hope and wellness to my PC

I found the solution while I cruised in the forum, I used Driver Cleaner to erase the driver file on my HD, and the installation worked perfectly... Sorry about my useless post
If it can help another one...

GeForce 6600GT AGP 4x/8x Compatibilty Question

Hi, I have received an MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 Geforce 6600GT 128MB DDR3 AGP 4X/8X Video Card as a gift. I also have a media center pc with e-Home TV Tuner.

Hi,
I recently had a similar problem with my MSI 5900 VTD128. I spent days trying to resolve this and eventually came to the conclusion that seemingly MSI Vivo cards are not stable unless you use the drivers MSI specifically write for them. Using generic Nvidia VIVO or other brand driver causes havoc for my system, with regular BSODs. Don't get me wrong: any driver will work fine if you don't intend to make use of the VIVO function but if you do read on. The only solution I found was to uninstall both the capture drivers and main Nvidia graphics driver. Run Drivercleaner from Driverheaven.net to remove all traces of any Nvidia drivers. Install whatever graphics drivers MSI provided with the card temporarily even though I know they may be old. Then download whatever the latest version of MSI Live Update from the MSI website here. Run this program while online and doiwnload whatever is the newest version in the list of drivers that it recommends. This may not always be as new as the more general Nvidia drivers available on the net or indeed available on the MSI site but trust me this program does not lie, if you use a driver that ain't listed then VIVO functions will always be a problem. Now after you have upgraded your main graphics driver to the one suggested by Live Update, go and dowload the MSI capture driver here. There is no specific one listed for the 6600GT but the version 3.08 driver for the FX series should be ok on the 6 series as well. This worked for me and is the only way I could get VIVO functionality from my card, hopefully it will work for you too. The Blue Screens messed up my system so bad that I had to reinstall due to the amount of corruption caused to other drivers in my system, not a job I like doing too often. Anyway good luck with this and I hope you get sorted.

Calling All NX6600GT-VTD128 AGP Users -- Post your temperature readings

Hi to all MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 AGP Users,
I've recently purchased a NX6600GT-VTD128 AGP card and have done some testing for a few days now. I read about the BIOS temperature modification and got it done with my card. To my surprise, the temperature reading is way above most of the temperature reading i see from you guys here. Here is my temperature reading :
Idle : ~70C
Load : ~90C
so far, i've only seen 1 or 2 users with the same overheating problem and i couldn't figure out what is wrong with my card. i can run 3dmark, games and everything else i throw at it without any system instability, but the temperature reading is making me nervous. 90C at full load is way too high and not acceptable. i've changed the thermal compound to ArticSilver Ceramique, tighten the screws to make sure the GPU Core and the HSF are making good contact. In fact, i did all that twice to make sure i get everything right. Other components on the board, including the PCB are equaly hot during full load. In fact, during full load, the heat is so intense that i couldn't put my fingers on the PCB or the HSF for more than 1 sec without getting my fingers burnt.
Problems i've given thoughts about are
1. bad contact between the GPU core and the HSF
2. faulty built-in temperature
As for problem 1, like i've mentioned above, i've double checked and reapply ArticSilver on the GPU and RAM chips. Just to be sure, the HSF itself is really hot during full load and quite warm during idle (tested using my fingers . so that means the heat is being transfered to the HSF correctly. (correct me if i'm wrong). As for problem 2, i couldnt tell because i don't have any reference tempearture monitoring device to compare the readings.
Im new to this card so i'm really hoping that more experience users will post something here, including your temperature reading for this card, to help me address this issue. If possible, I don't wish to change the onboard HSF. I'm using a 450Watt power supply. Please advice. thanks in advance.

I have two AGP MSI 6600GT's.
1) Idles 46, load around 62
2) Idles 52, load around 68
Both heatsinks were removed and Arctic Silver Ceramique added. Number 2 above is actually in a colder section of the house, yet has higher idle and load temp. I think the sensors are fairly accurate, but not if you have a faulty one which might be the case.
I suggest you get one of these which I use with one of my 6600GT's. http://www.bestbyteinc.com/prodinfo.asp?number=SEN-CNU-001
It's accurate to within 1C. It is being used with card #1 above, at 46C idle the display is showing around 36 which makes perfect sense because the internal temperature can be higher by around 10-15C or even more.
If you suspect bad contact with the heatsink. Turn the lights down low, and shine a flashlight at the edge of the card. Look at the space between the heatsink and the GPU from the opposite side of the flashlight. If it's not making good contact you should see light between the heatsink and GPU. Another thing you can try is take the heatsink off and clean off all the compound. Put a piece of newspaper between the GPU and heatsink with no thermal compound. See if you can pull out the newspaper with no resistance. If you can't it's making contact. Make sure to re-apply thermal compound before using the card.

MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 & MSI "3D! Turbo Experience"

Hi,
yesterday I bought a MSI NX6600GT-VTD128. The card is running fine. I also installed the MSI tool "3D! Turbo Experience". However, the tool does not show any relevant information: no voltage, no memory clock, no fan speed...

Hi,
As most will probably agree, 3D turbo is not a very useful piece of software. Your best bet is not to use it. There are lots of 6600GT posts here that address the monitoring issues of that card.
For memory clock and OC'ing you can use the coolbit reg update. You can find a good write-up in the stickies at the top of the forum.
Good Luck,

NX6600GT-VTD128 AGP D3D Problem

Hello Experts,
first I want to show some screenshots to describe my problem.
Counter-Strike Scource
Half-Life 2
Nascar Racing 2003
All screens are taken from a 1280x1024 resolution with 4x AA and 8x AF (Direct3D). After a few minutes this lines flicker on the screen but only in D3D and a 1280x1024 resolution. In Nascar I can switch to OpenGL and everything is fine. HL2 and CS-S are also fine in 1024x768 resolution. Do you think, this is a hardwareproblem or a ForceWare driver problem?
I tried the 71.89 and 71.84 but nothing changed.
My system is not overclocked.
I could not appreciate that in lower resolution and with OpenGL everthing works fine.
greetings

Quote from: StarkerTobak on 21-April-05, 20:22:05
Thx for your response and tipps.
After a few tests with underclocking the card (core & memory) I had no luck and all problems already exists. Also if I disable AA and AF, set 4x AGP only and turn Fastwrites off.
My last try, befor the card goes back to the dealer, was switching the driver. I unistall the 71.89 driver and clean the system with a detonator destroyer. Then I install the nonofficial 76.44. Suprise, suprise, no problems with Nascar Racing 2003 Season and only minimal problems with HL2 and CS-S. A test with SWAT 4 was also successful (befor switching the driver I had the same problems like HL2 ... )
Sorry crull, i think u lost your money . It looks like that the official forceware driver had a few problems with the 6600GT cards anfd many things looks like a beta driver.
I will do some more tests with 3D Mark 2003, stay tuned.
regards
ST
I can't understand how you can have those problems with the same drivers I have used with my NX6600GT-VTD128 running HL2 and CS.
I have tested probably around 7 or 8 drivers, some beta but nothing at all like what you got. In fact I haven't seen any artifacts with any of the drivers I have tested. Right now I'm using the 76.44's.
So how can you have all these problems with the same exact card and drivers that I do not have?
Even if you find it gets somewhat better with drivers, I still think it is hardware related or maybe drivers that are not directly video card such as chipset drivers. Just because of the fact I have not had any trouble like you have had using the same drivers, same game and same video card.
I didn't want to say this at the start but there isn't only software and hardware problems, there is also user problems as well. So I was really gonna put my money on user problem, but I was just being nice blaming it on the hardware. (kidding) It doesn't matter anyway because any money I lose on that bet I can make up for it when you pay the bill I am sending you for my services.

URGENT HELP: PC can't post after Bios Update on MSI NX6600GT-VTD128

The LiveBIOS utility on my PC showed that there was an updated BIOS of my MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 that I was using and I proceeded to update using the facility.
Everything seem fine until the system was rebooted, now the system refuse to post. All I see when I power on the system is a moment of power (e.g. I can see the lights on my keyboard and card reader), before they also disappear.
My system is a P4 2.4 Northwood running on a MSI 875P. I had already cleared the CMOS on my motherboard but it didn't help. I would appreciate greatly for any advice.

Quote from: Glenn on 24-September-06, 14:26:51
Common mistake.
Unfortunately, the cure is likely to be painful.
Did you disable your Antivirus and Firwall before doing such a thing?
Video cards aren't like motherboards, and just updating for the simple fact that it's available is wrong regarding BIOS's for anything.
You should have a specific reason to do so.
Now, did you backup your old BIOS?
You may need to contact MSI directly to get the original BIOS and use a PCI video card so you can boot and see what you are doing to reflash your AGP card.
How to contact MSI.
Thanks for the advice. And you are right, the cure is painful, particularly, when I didn't back up the old BIOS and neither do I have a PCI graphics card lying around.
I did deactivated my antivirus whilst flashing, and there was no firewall running.

No Video-In signal for NX6600GT-VTD128

Hi,
I'm having a problem with my NX6600GT-VTD128 AGP. The video-in is not working. I have connected my TV and a video camera via SVideo and Composite connectors but there is no signal. I am using various programs like Sage, PowerVCR, Premiere etc and have also selected the proper "source" in every program. Installed latest driver, 66.93 from NVidia, 66.72 and 71.22 from MSI... Of course 2.20_wdm-vivo driver from NVidia is installed as well.
Please advise..........
Thanks

4.04? Ic, didn't know that a newer version existed..... nVidia site has only 2.20 and nothing about VIVO in the beta drivers. I found 4.03 from Sparkle and 4.04 from Gainward...... I'll try these today and post tomorrow with the results.
Thanks!

HELP ! System freezes now with new MSI GeForce 6600GT AGP

Any/All help is greatly appreciated... this is driving me crazy.
Just installed a new MSI 6600GT AGP card. Windows/Apps work fine.. but system keeps freezing (disabling keyboard as well) when running certain games (3D?) like Medal of Honor, Prince of Perisa, SplinterCell. Also, freezes on 3DMark01SE benchmark software. What strange is 3DMark2K5 ran fine.. and returned a respectable score (3078). I've tried unistalling/re-installing latest MSI drivers (71.22), Nvidia's 66.93, and removing nVidia's GART drivers. I've also disconnected other hardware to allieviate PSU constraints. I've uninstalled/re-installed 6600GT card and molex power connector on card. My system specs are below:
Motherboard = ASUS Focus A7N8X-LA, BIOS=American Megatrend 3.07, Chipset = nVidia nForce2
MSI GeForce 6600GT 128 AGP
1Gb Ram
200Gb Maxtor 8mb buffer HD
ASUS E616P1 DVD-ROM
RICOH MP5240A DVD+RW
Enermax EG375P-VE SFMA PSU (has separate 12V rails)
Any suggestions as to what else to try? Getting ready to RMA this card.

Question
I just got a K8 series MB , and your A6600GT 128MB VGA , every time when I quit the 3D games ,
the system gave me a blue screen and then restart the system. I already update the VGA driver and MB
driver but no luck , what can I do?
Answer
If your system are WinXP + SP2 , We suggest you to disable DEP function.
Please follow below steps to disable the DEP. (See below picture)
1. First , Select “Advanced” under “System Properties”
2. Choose “Settings” under “Startup and Recovery”
3. Click “ Edit “ , then you can edit “boot.ini” file.
4. Change “/NoExecute=OptIn” as “/execute” (See below red square in step4)
5. Then save the boot.ini file and restart the system.
6. After rebooting , the DEP function will be disable.
Other information please see below link :

• /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN Enables DEP for core system images and those specified in the DEP
configuration dialog.
• /NOEXECUTE=OPTOUT Enables DEP for all images except those specified in the DEP
configuration dialog.
• /NOEXECUTE=ALWAYSON Enables DEP on all images.
• /NOEXECUTE=ALWAYSOFF Disables DEP.
Configuration Description
OptIn
(default configuration)
On systems with processors capable of hardware-enforced DEP, DEP is
enabled by default for limited system binaries and applications that
“opt-in,”
With this option, only Windows system binaries are covered by DEP by
default.
OptOut DEP is enabled by default for all processes. Users can manually create
a list of specific applications which do not have DEP applied using
System in Control Panel. IT Pros and Independent Software Vendors
(ISVs) can use the Application Compatibility Toolkit to opt-out one or
more applications from DEP protection. System Compatibility Fixes
(“shims”) for DEP do take effect.
AlwaysOn This provides full DEP coverage for the entire system. All processes
always run with DEP applied. The exceptions list for exempting
specific applications from DEP protection is not available. System
Compatibility Fixes (“shims”) for DEP do not take effect. Applications
which have been opted-out using the Application Compatibility Toolkit
run with DEP applied.
AlwaysOff This does not provide any DEP coverage for any part of the system,
regardless of hardware DEP support. The processor does not run in
PAE mode unless the /PAE option is present in the boot entry.
Yes let us know how it goes. Hopefully well.

KT6V and GeForce 6600GT

Hi. As I am a newbie to this forum please bear with me. I have a KT6V MS7021 mobo. Today I got a Gigabyte GeForce 6600GT AGP card. When the card was installed the system would not boot past the memory check.
I reseated the card, checked all cables etc and flashed BIOS to version 2.0. Now the system boots ok but does not see any of my IDE drives, even when I put the original graphics card back in.
If I clear CMOS the sytem sees the drives while I set BIOS settings but after 'save and exit' the drives are shown as 'not installed'.
System was as follows:
KT6V MS7021 mobo BIOS ver 2.0
AMD XP 2600+
512K PC2700 RAM
Onboard sound
Gainward GeForce FX5600 AGP card
Apollo VT 300BA 300W PSU
I know that the PSU is not the most powerfull but it was ok this morning.
Any help is appreciated.

Might wanna check your cabling and drive positions on the cables, just to be sure something wasn't overlooked or knocked loose while you were mucking about in the case.
I am carefull of this and I check often. I am confident this is ok.

I take it you did take proper precations to avoid ESD's?
What are ESDs?
Quote from: Glenn on 24-May-05, 07:41:24
And if you set the BIOs settings to Auto for the Drives, save/exit and reboot, they don't show up?
So you are using the same drives successefully on the new board then?
After clear CMOS the drives show. After save/exit and reboot they are shown as 'not installed' (there are 2 drives on each IDE cable, total 4 drives) and they work fine in my new KM4M-V mobo.
