Geforce FX 5900 XT and DOT

I have recently purchased a new MSI Geforce FX 5900 XT 128MB DDR VTD, I have a couple of things which I'm unsure of. First of all if I use DOT along with this card how safe it it. I know its really inviting to overclock but if I use the built in DOT technology of MSI am I violating my warranty?? Also this card is not equipped with any temperature monitoring chip, so if I use DOT and overclock how will I know when my Chip is Overheating??
Any ideas plz??
Thanks in advance

Dot should not void warranty, you can contact MSI and ask them as well.
For the temperature, you need to buy a temperature probe.

MSI K7N2-IL 2M/B and MSI MS-StarForce GeForce FX 5900 Ultra

Hi
I wonder if you could help me.
I am curious, the below is the spec of my machine.
AMD Athlon XP 3000 + 333 FSB CPU
MSI K7N2-IL 2M/B
256 GEFORCE FX 5900 ULTRA GRAPHICS
though the graphics card is reported as MSI MS-StarForce GeForce FX 5900 Ultra [Nividia GeForce 5900 Ultra] in Windows control panel.
I am needing to learn more about exactly what is what in this PC.
I have installed MSI Live monitor and have upgraded to NVIDIA nForce System Drivers though my graphic driver is still reported as 4.4.0.3 or 43.51 [another question why are there two versions given to graphic drivers?]
As Live monitor doesn't report any further updates possible when there are newer Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia website - can I install these ?
Also I am looking for a utility to monitor, change fan speed and temperature, is the Nvidia system utility ok to use? It says that it's only compatible with
nForce3 Pro
nForce3
nForce2
I'm not sure if I only have Nforce ?
I would really appreciate any help you may give - I know that the above probably sounds as if I'm as thick as 2 short planks.
Thanks in advance

GeForce FX 5900 XT, DirectX 8 & 9 games hang -- solved.

This was my original posting:
I have recently bought a MSI GeForce FX 5900 XT VTD128. To my surprise I have exprerienced numerous crashes in games that use DirectX 8 or better. The games pauses and I get a blue Windows XP (retail version - 5.1.2600 - , without Service Pack 1) crash screen that says the game was stopped to prevent any damage to Windows and some things I should check (wich I did) and in the technical part:
*** STOP: 0x0000008E (0xc0000005, 0xF7D83E2D, 0xBA2DC29C, 0x00000000)
*** nv4_mini.sys - Address F7D83E2D base at F7CD9000, DateStamp 3fb91de8
Those hexadecimal are not within the range of memory addresses the VGA card uses.
I get the error with Freedom Fighters, GTA Vice City, GTAIII, Crazy Taxi. The latter crashing much more than the former.
I tried ePSXe (the playstation emulator) using Pete's OpenGL 2 vga plugin, wich uses T&L and pixel shader and I had no problems.
Games that use OpenGL or DirectX 7 or less seem to work fine. This was checked with Quake III and Severance: Blade of Darkness.
DirectX 9.0b tests on DirectDraw and Direct3D found no problems, plus all the files are OK.
Afterwards a friend who works repairing PCs, recommended a clean install with the latest drivers for the motherboard as well as the lastest 53.03 vga drivers (MSI version). All this to no avail; I get the same message.
I've also tried vga drivers 52.16 and 53.06 (Beta), as well as disabling Fast Writes in the motherboard BIOS.
A web search only lead me to some driver pages. MSI have no troubleshooting help about the matter, at least that I could find, neither in the manual nor the website.
I have tried using my old NVidia Vanta again and GTAIII works perfect.
Both cards use IRQ 19 and don't share it.
I've noticed that DirectX acknowledges different files to both VGAs. Vanta's principal controller file is nv4.dll whereas 5900's nv4_disp.dll. The small VDD files are nv4.sys and nv4_mini.sys respectively.
Also nv4_disp.dll has no digital signature while all the others do.
Is there any diagnostic utility I could use to better pinpoint the problem I'm having?
Thanks for reading this far.
After this cry for help I didn't want to wait for a star to fall so I kept on doing homework. I delved deeper into the forums and found in the mobos forum a thread with a reply that said that bios 7.40 for K7N2 delta-ILSR solved an incompatibility issue with Geforce FX 5900 and another with a way to clean the remains of uninstalled drivers.
I was not up to flashing the bios yet so I tried the vga in two other different PCs.
The first one had Win98 with a mobo M810MR with DIMM RAM. It worked awfully. It crashed when double clicking an icon, didn't run many games and even didn't pass the DirectX tests. That with 4X.XX drivers (I don't quite remember the version). With 53.03 (MSI version) I wasn't as unstable but still had many problems.
Another PC entered into the scene. One with WinXP and Linux, as well as a KT2V PRo Dual with DDR RAM. In WinXP still couldn't run any games or 3dMark. It even rebooted it a couple of times, just out of the blue. In Linux it worked fine but didn't try any 3D games (didn't have any). It was detected as a Generic GeForce FX though.
Before sending my vga to another region of the country (something I wasn't very prone to do in the least, as I had to pay for sending and retreiving it) so the vendor could try it and replace it (if he found it faulty).
THE ALMIGHTY SOLUTION: for those too eager to stand my babbling this is what worked.
I flashed the bios up to version 7.60 and uninstalled the drivers and used Driver Cleaner. It works without any problems now. I tried it in my other 'test' brand new WinXP install without using Driver Cleaner and it seems that flashing the bios was enough. Although I would recommend using it.
Well, that's all. I thought it could be useful to have all this in one piece.
Thanks to all that cared.

You guys didn't read the post fully SPAMMERS
He solved his problem by updating the BIOS to the latest version, he has the nVidia Chipset based motherboard and there was a known issue related to the FX series video cards. This is nForce specific.... period

Direct 3d problem with my Geforce FX 5900

It won't run any 3d applications and leaves my $3000 computer with the only purpose of complaining on online forums.
I've tried with the original drivers
I've tried with the updated drivers (45.23)
Here are my system specs:
Pentium 3.0Ghz w/ 800Mhz bus
D865PERL Motherboard
512 PC-3200 Kingston Hyper x RAM
Audigy 2
420w power supply
and the MSI Geforce FX 5900 VTD-128

I uninstalled my old nVidia drivers under Control Panel/ Add/Remove Programs...then I ran Driver Cleaner to clean all old drivers off of my system *see the sticky post at the top of the forum page here*...then I turned of the puter took the old card out, put the new card in, started the puter and installed the latest driver from nVidia's website. Worked like a charm!
Yes and a neat little story behind this mouse....
I bought it cause it was awesome I thought, got home, hooked it up, charged it for a night, used it for a week and then it died...so I figured out that the charger wouldn't charge the batteries from the base so I went and bought a separate charger and a few sets of NIMH batteries. Used it for about a month that way then tried to take it back one day to Best Buy where I bought it from. Yea Best Buy alright heheheheh They told me that I hadn't bought the extended warranty for the device and now I'd have to go back to the mfg to get it replaced...so I called Logitech. Got Tech Support on the phone and the guy made me jump thru hoops and stand on my head and all that fun stuff that we do to try to make it work. Then he said well what's your address? I gave it to him. He said you'll have it in a day or two. I said Have what? He says A whole new mouse. I get this puzzled look on my face...I say So should I ship this back when I get the new one? He say Nah keep the old one and enjoy. So now I have the working charging base that has one of the mice in it charging while I use the other one until the red light flashes to tell me it needs to be charged. Then I just take the other one out of the cradle, put the dead one in, push the button on the base, push the button on the bottom of the charged mouse and voila! I'm back in business. And I can do it even if I'm in a game and it doesn't crash my game!! How's that for a success story when all you usually hear here is negative? heheheheh

Hope someone got a solution to your problem!

Geforce FX 5900 Ultra (256) Ram DDR crash

recently my Geforce FX 5900 Ultra (256) Ram DDR has started crashing, i play a game tehn after a while the game freezes and i hear a loud screeching noise that almost deafens me through my headphones my omly option is to then turn off the pc as i can do anything with the computer :( i checked the tem pof the card just in windows normal operation and its 50 degrees celsius is this normal?

Actually that models isn't bad at 20A but a little light considering all the hardware you have, try going barebones without all the PCI cards and the fairy lights.
You didn't post your IRQ shares, and I'd hedge my bets the PCI cards are not in the best slots due to IRQ conflicts. It's a first I've seen of a crash like that but it would not surprise me if it is an IRQ conflict.
Again, remove all PCI devices and reboot a few times, USe the "Reset Configuration Data" setting in the BIOS after you remove each or both PCI cards at boot.

Orm,
To start with your power supply could be too weak to run the Athlon XP(Guessing you have an Athlon XP) and the GF4 under load. 150W combined and 14A on the 3.3v RAIL is not enough.
You could try removing your your firewire, sound and nic cards, and unplugging your two CD Drives.
See if you can get any farther then. Also get the latest Detonator Drivers from the nVidia Website. They should be on 41.09 now.
Good Luck,
Richard

Java Printing and Dot Matrix printer

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I didn't see any forum about printing.
I have gotten printing working for my application to both "real" printers and dot-matrix printers. The problem is that I want to display a print dialog box, and have my application detect whether the user selected a "real" printer or a dot-matix printer.
I've dumped out the supported DocFlavors for both kinds of printers and haven't been able to find any reliable way to determine the printer type. Has anyone found a reliable way to do this?
I need to detect the printer type becuase I use one DocFlavor to print to a dot-matrix and a different DocFlavor to print to a "real" printer.
Thanks for any help,
--Ryan

Thanks for the replies,
I would like to find some way to auto-detect this, if it is possible. I swear that I will only use the PrinterResolution class for good and not evil!! I was looking at the supported printer resolutions for the printers that are in my office here, and this is what I found:
Supported Resolutions Win32 Printer : FX-890 (my dot matrix)
24000x14400 dphi
12000x7200 dphi
12000x14400 dphi
Supported Resolutions Win32 Printer : HP LaserJet 4050 Series PS
30000x30000 dphi
60000x60000 dphi
120000x120000 dphi
Supported Resolutions Win32 Printer : HP Color LaserJet 4550 PCL 5c
60000x60000 dphiIt seems interesting that the laser jets only report resolutions that are the same horizontal as vertical, and that the dot matrix supports resolutions that are have different horz vs vert resolutions. Maybe I could use this to make a guess?
Unfortunately we don't use any native code in our application, although it could be a possibility if there is no 100% java way to auto-detect this. The vast majority of our users will be running Windows. Do you know of a way to figure this out in Windows?
Thanks,

Sneak Peek #3 about the future of Photoshop: dashed and dotted lines

Zorana Gee shared another Photoshop Sneak Peek, this time about dashed and dotted lines:
Could it be useful in your workflow?

I think dotted and dashed lines with gradients sounds useful. I won't have to go to Illustrator and back to get those functions.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY
I would like to see some other upgrades to the pen tool and vector masks:
• All too often I can't really see the pen tool line when I am making a vector selection – it gets lost in the clutter. Could there be an option to assign a color to the path? Hot green or magenta?
• I would like to be able to change the size that vector points display. If I could make the points appear slightly larger it would often make editing easier.
• I would like to be able to select two points very close to one another and JOIN them like in AI. I don't understand why the pen tool doesn't share more of the functions of the pen tool in Illustrator such as CUT. It sometimes seems like the vector tools in Photoshop and Illustrator were developed completetly independent of one another.
Attached (I hope) are images demonstrating how hard it can be to see paths. Can you see the paths? In the first image the path is there, not selected. In the second the path is selected. This makes my work very irritating sometimes.

How to change the comma and dot for Pricing

Dear All,
As per the requirement, we need to change the Comma as dot and dot as comma for all the condition type values.
Please let me know where we have to do this setting.
Also explain, what is the impact on FI after this change.
Regards,
Mullairaja

Hello,
I hope you are talking about decimal notation in User defaults. You may choose the options in transaction SU3->Defaults->Decimal Notation.
This is user-specific settings and there will not be any impact on applications.

Laser and dot matrix printer

Hi ,
I have developed delivery note using smartforms when i see print preview of this form giving logical destination laser printer it is coming fine and print is also good. but as my client wants to take the form print both on laser and dot matrix so when i am giving logical destination as dotmatrix printer if i see print preview then the total settings are disturbed like boxes and also in print the box lines are not printing.
what i have to do to get good printout on both the printers.
thanks in advance.

Best idea to print your script on both dot matrix and laser printer is, create one table and allow user for maintainance, now before print preview go and check this customized table(using subroutines) and if laser printer, print all boxes... if on dot matrix remove what all lines not supported on dot matrix printer.
EX:
Go and fetch printer name from customized table,
IF printer = 'LASER'
***Draw boxes
***LINEITEMS
ELSEIF printer = 'Dot matrix'
***LINEITEMS.
ENDIF.

Sairam

Images printing with orange streaks and dots

Very new to Illustrator, and when I print, the lighter (or whiter) part of the images are showing orange (sometimes green) streaks and dots. This just started happening, and printer toner levels are all fine, and I haven't changed any settings. I've pulled these pictures into photoshop, adjusted the size, and made sure dpi is at least 300, then plugged into artboard. Any thoughts?

Have you changed the paper setting when using the matt paper? The printer may need to adjust for the type and thickness in order to print on it properly.
