Geforce gtx 580

Hi. I,m looking to buy a Geforce gtx 580 for PP CS5.5.   Searching the web I have come across several different "brands" of the same card such as PNY, Palit, Zotac, EVGA etc. Are they all the same card? Are some better than other? Any help would be much appreciated.

My favorite two vendors are EVGA and PNY.  I have some of both.but as far as better the first thing I would do is check the warranty.  Also notice the amount of video memory if you are using large frame sizes more memory may help.  Do not pay extra for an over clocked (sometimes called super clocked) board as it will not do you any good with Premiere.  Notice here at Newegg you have a choice of 19 different versions.  Some of these are already showing discounts and rebates.  Be aware that within just a few months there will be a whole new series that will essential replace the GTX 5xx series, it will be the GTX 7xx series.   At that point in time there will be some significant reductions in the current 5xx series and (probably) faster new boards to consider.

    Is the MSI Geforce GTX 580 Twin Frozr II a reference design PCB underneath the cooler?
    And do the military class components get in the way of other custom cooler E.g. A waterblock?

  • Shutdown during gameplay MSI N580GTX Lightning GeForce GTX 580 Frozr III

    Hello everyone,
    I recently purchased a brand new n580 GTX Lightning Frozr III and received my card yesterday.  The installation went smoothly and it booted into Windows fine, until I ran into problems running benchmarks.
    I'm a little hazy on my system specs, but I will get you more accurate specs when I have the sheet in front of me:
    The specs:
    ======================
    IntelDuoCore 2
    2.0 GHZ
    1 kilowatt PSU
    Liquid Cooling
    Windows 7 64bit
    8 GB SDRAM
    Ageia PhysX card (Removed, most people don't even know these existed!)
    ======================
    I knew from the beginning that my processor was going to bottleneck my CPU, but the performance is way better than when I used the Geforce 8800 GTX SLI settings.
    The Problem:
    ======================
    Mafia 2 - Max settings, including PhysX, aliasing, resolution
    A few minutes into the benchmark, basically as soon as the car explodes.
    Computer shut down.
    Crysis Warhead - Drove down a random rode and crashed into an exploding barrel.
    Computer shut down.
    APB - Managed to drive around the city for a few minutes, no explosions, no fighting nothing.
    Went into the garage, to look at some cars.
    Computer shut down.
    ======================
    So I'm having trouble narrowing down what the problem is. I don't think it's overheating because my liquid cooling is doing its job. I don't think it's a driver conflict because I ran driver sweeper and cleaned out all of the old Nvidia drivers.
    So, either my card is consuming too much power or my PSU isn't outputting enough power.
    I will get specific system specs later on.

    Total system shutdown, if thats really the case is most likely psu issue that it dont deliver enough power card and overcurrent protection kicks in and shut the system down to prevent damage. Ive had exatly that issue in past when tried to run GTX470 SLI with 650w psu After i upgraded upgraded to 750w everything worked silky smooth after that.
    That's right, its what i tell him here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=149377.msg1109284#msg1109284

    If it would be driver related issue it wouldnt cause shudown and would bem ore likly to receive bluescreen or some windwos driver recovery.
    This is a separate, second case when he test VGA it friends machine. He don't have shutdown issues there.

    wattage of the psu:s dont really tell the whole truth these days. Some older 1000w psu:s with multiple 12v rails are actually worse for modern power hungry gfx cards than modern single 12v rail 600w psu
    Yep

    You need ampere @+12V not amperes on something else.[video card is powered by +12V line]
    This 75A is not related to +12V lines, which is unknown for this split 2x30A, with total under 60A for sure [guess probably around up to 50A combined[if the PSU support combined mode]]

    Hi pacnow,

    How to:
    Create a USB key bootable
    How to make USB key bootable: http://www.bay-wolf.com/usbmemstick.htm
    Then get attached file, and extract & copy all files nvflash.exe, CWSDPMI.EXE and 103.rom
    to the USB key.
    Then reboot the computer and boot from the bootable USB key,
    when you see A:\ or C:\ type:
    nvflash.exe -b old.rom [ENTER]
    Wait process to finish, this will backup/save your current VBIOS.
    Then flash the new VBIOS with:

  • MSI GTX 580 Lightning XE - no DTS-HD and no Dolby Digital TrueHD?

    Hello,
    I have just upgraded from the gtx 460 to 580 Lightning XE and the above audio formats are gone. I thought the 280.26 drivers caused it so I went back to 275.33 and DTS-HD and DD TrueHD are still missing.
    Since the gtx 460 supports these formats I presumed that the 580 does as well.
    In Playback Devices > Supported Formats, only 3 formats are listed: DTS Audio, Dolby Digital Plus and Dilby Digital  
    In Nvidia Control Panel, the HDCP is not supported when I select my TV/amp. When I had my tv/amp connected via hdmi cable to gtx 460, all was functioning correctly, all formats were listed.
    PowerDVD and Total MediaTheater worked perfectly fine playing dts-hd an dd truehd from bluray discs, now these formats are just not available anywhere. Only normal DTS and DD is played.
    I really hope that this is a software issue  
    DTS-HD and DD TrueHD are supported from HDMI 1.3 version. The GTX 580 chip supposedly supports HDMI 1.4a. NVIDIA and MSI please fix it!
    Here's the fix request form, please can as anyone request a fix through this form? http://nvidia-submit.custhelp.com/app/ask
    The chip 580 should support DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD.

    No I haven't. I didn't even think of that. I always go for the official nvidia drivers. I'm downloading it now.
    edit: Installed them drivers, and no change. DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD are still missing.
    I found some "info" here:

    Quote
    NVIDIA slightly revised their display controller for GF110/GTX580; the good news is that HDMI 1.4a is supported, the bad news is that full audio bitstreaming is not supported so it’s the same as it was on the GTX 480: 8 channel LPCM and lossy audio formats like DD+ and DTS. This actually caught us off-guard since we were expecting the full GF104 treatment here, but it just goes to show that this is a GF100-derrivative after all. Unfortunately this also extends to the number of displays supported – NVIDIA still only supports 2 displays on one card, so you need to run in SLI if you intend to take advantage of 3DVision/NVIDIA surround across 3 monitors.
    If that's true, it doesn't look good..

  • How to activate NVDIA GTX 580 for After Effects cs5?

    Hello,
    I have adobe CS5. I bought an NVDIA GEFORCE GTX 580 .
    I activated for Premier CS5, but I do not know how to activate for After Effects.
    Can anyone help me?

    What is it that you're expecting it to do?
    After Effects doesn't use CUDA for processing. That's just Premiere Pro.
    After Effects can use OpenGL for speeding up previews. See this page.

  • Nvidia Gtx 650 ti boost vs Nvidia Gtx 580

    Hi everybody,
    I have an hard question about nvidia gtx video cards.
    The nvidia gtx 650 ti boost is adeguate for editing video in fullHD with Premiere Pro Cs6 ?
    I have chosen this video card because the price is very interesting: "only" 150 € (more or less)
    Another question: is it adeguate for sporadically editing whit After Effects Cs6 ?
    I have compared the gtx 650 ti boost with the gtx 580. The second is more more powerful, but the price is 450 € (more or less). I have found the gtx 580 used at 200 €.
    Question: Which is the better choice? gtx 650 ti boost new or gtx 580 used (and maybe overclocked)?
    Thanks.
    Reference:
    gtx 650 ti boost http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-650ti-boost/specifications
    gtx 580 http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-580/specifications

    Software components? I use only Premiere and After Effects.
    I'm sorry, I expressed myself badly.
    It is clear that the 580 is faster than the 650 but my question is: the 650 is powerful enough? I don't pay 200 Euro for a "insufficient" video card.
    The second question is if the used grafic card is a good choice.
    Thank you so much.
    PS: the configuration of the system is:
    Intel i7 920 (8M, 2.66 -> 2.93 Ghz)
    RAM 12 GB triple channel @ 1066 Mhz

  • New GTX - 580 twin frozr Problem

    Hi guys, new to this forum.... Its a good one, plenty of experts, thats what makes a forum good
    I built a new machine for Battlefield 3 in November. I ordered this:
    MSI GeForce GTX 580 OC Twin FrozR II 1536MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card [V255-040
    From the start I've been getting the black screen crash, minimise with sound still continuing in the background (not sound loop error) crash and the odd "display driver has crashed and recovered" crash.
    I've done all the usual stuff, formats, reinstalls, new sound cards, drivers etc, I've never tried the update gpu bios trick, would it work here? I have it at stock, even on afterburner as i dont know the overclocking settings to try. Or the max i can use. Some say i should increase the voltage?
    Any thoughts?
    thanks guys. 6months at it now :O

    Quote from: irishfireman on 01-May-12, 19:29:29
    ok setting the voltage to 1038 helped a bit. but it crashed again today. going to try the other voltage.
    I just noticed that bench testing with fumark, it said that my card was being throttled. And the temp wont rise above 52 - 53 degrees celcius. The minute the game crashed the temp was 53 degrees. Is there something stopping the gpu performing? System is well air cooled. and i've manually ramped up the fan speed. Any thoughts?
    what vga drivers you use?

    I want go over 1.150 mV because i would like to water my cg's and if i can pass out 1.150 mV i will get better performance because it can accord to me to increase more my frequencies.
     I've tried to Flash with others bios card like EVGA and ASUS and it's work on one and on the second but after reboot in windows just one be detected without problem, i have tried all PCI-Express configuration, many times reinstall drivers with secure procedure but nothings working so i ask my question here !
    And Can i buy somewhere Twin Frozor System for my GC's and mount it on them ?
    Thanks a lot !

    What does GTX have that Quadro does not have?

    Also, what is the maximun of RAM memory for video editing?
    Thank you

    GTX$$$ & Quadro$$$$$$$$$$
    If you are looking for improvising your performance first make your self next´s question´s:
    What processor do I have: AMD or intel? dual, Quad, Exa core...?
    How much Ram do you have, HDD CONFIG, Overclocking, Cooling etc...
    Get the maximum of your pc before order a $$$$$$$ Video card.
    Gtx 580 can perform 80% of the quadro 5000?
    ...but it always was vice versa...
    quadros were always slower "viewpoint performance" but they're "for some reason" certified autodesk hardware... but for example the gtx295 is also certified.
    the problem is now that there is a driver opengl performance problem reported by some people using the new 4xx series[ a great performance drop down in dcc apps...]
    The GTX580 has 512 cores, running at 772MHz, 1002MHz (Core/RAM)
    The 5000 has 352 cores, running at 513, 750
    You decide. Don't see a reason to buy a Quadro when you cam improving in so many others areas

  • MSI GeForce GTX 970 with MSI Z68A-GD55 (G3) motherboard

    Hi!
    I have seen a similar issue here that was resolved with the help of this forum. (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=251322.0). I still want to ask my questons however, since I have a slightly different situation.
    I recently bought a new Graphics card, a MSI GTX 970, to replace my older EVGA GTX 570. After installing it, the time it takes to startup the computer is quite a bit longer. The very begninning of the startup process is the part that takes longer, I see a black screen and "B2" in the lower right hand corner, with the older GPU this was seen for a few seconds but now it stays that way for about a minute. After that I see some random colors in stead of the MSI logo and then the regular "Starting Windows" image appears, from there the startup is as fast as before.
    When the computer has started it seems to work perfectly, and the new graphics card is great, everything on "ultra" in games etc.
    I guess the way to resolve this issue is to update BIOS. I am a bit afraid of this however, of the risk of destroying something.
    What would be your suggestions? Is it better to update bios or to leave it as it is, since the computer works? Are the any risks with keeping this bios version, that seems to have some issue with the graphics card?
    Any help would be greately appreciated!
