[GeForce PCe] MSI GeForce NX7800GTX VIVO questions

Hey all! I currently own a MSI 6600GT (128MB version) PCIe graphics card, and I was considering purchasing the 7800GTX sometime within the next six months to get the most out of my games.
I've seen that the 7800GTX has VIVO capabilities, and I've searched MSI's site as well as other sites trying to get more details, but I haven't been able to find any. I also use my computer to run a small digital video editing business, and I've got an upcoming project to convert many VHS tapes to DVD. I've used my Pinnacle MovieBox DV (connected via firewire) to do this in the past, but since it's not very reliable I was thinking using VIVO of the 7800GTX might work better. From what I understand, I could hook up a VCR to either the composite video in or S-video in to convert the VHS to digital video.
So if anyone out there has used the video-in VIVO features, could you give me some details as to how it works? Does the card include MSI software to capture video via VIVO? Can I capture video as an uncompressed AVI or a DV AVI? Would it be possible to capture video-in directly from Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5?
If anyone can help me out, I'd surely appreciate it. If these things are possible, I'll prolly go on ahead and buy the NX7800GTX. My Pinnacle MovieBox is supposedly "prosumer", but it really blows. It locks up all the time, and then I have to start it over. With all the VHS tapes I'll be converting, I don't have time for that!

The latter information about cards having different chips is unrelated to your problems. I have a sticky addressing the Pipline/Chip issue.
You can posts links, there is no restriction currently that I am aware of at this time. However, there have been discussions relating to new users and imposing a restriction until a post count has been reached.
As for your problem, provided your BIOS settings are correct, and you are using the latest nVidia Drivers this isn't something I've seen yet. If you could post some screenshots, that also might be helpful.
Please, also enter your profile settings, and put your hardware listing as a signature in the event this thread becomes lengthy, users wont have to go to the top or previous page to see your hardware.
Have you tried swapping the cards to see if the behavior changes? And to possibly expose a problem with one particular card?
Have you looked or posted in the nVidia forums?
Hopefuly someone will come along that's seen this or is aware of this. Perhaps it's just a driver setting somewhere. As you can see, without me actually seeing it, I'm guessing.

MSI NX6600-VTD256EH VIVO problems

i have this problem with my MSI NX6600-VTD256EH VIVO card. I can't get it to capture. Do i need some different drivers etc? I have tried searching for some advice for it but just can't find none.

It seems you missed part of what was written above your post. Quote from: Stu on 23-March-06, 03:04:44
what capture software are you using?
do you have the correct WDM capture driver installed? look in the 'Windows drivers we recommend' sticky for links
whats the exact problem you're having with capturing?
Do you have the WDM capture driver installed? Exo has posted a link where you can find them.
I did miss your sentence. I was in a rush out the door to an appointment.
I'm not sure where your statement "Be polite and not sturdy" comes from though. Maybe it's the manner in which you read my post.

[GeForce PCe] MSI NX6600GT PCi-e ?

Hi there,
I have 2 MSI NX6600GT 128 running in SLi mode. When I goto use MSI Turbo Experience it comes up with a screen that says:
"MSIVGA.ocx initialization error". I have 71.84 drivers and all other drivers are installed. It also happened with the 66.93 drivers that came on the CD and so I updated. I contacted MSI and they told me to read the forums here as there most likely would be a solution. I built this system from the ground up myself. I have had no troubles with it. I can play games like MVP2005 and Doom3 with no probs. But sometimes when I goto load up a saved game playing Silent Hunter 3 starts to initialize then goes to the desktop (this has happened very rarely). I haven't overclocked anything I won't be doing that. I only have a few games installed as I am taking things slowly. My GPU temps are 48c idle and after playing Doom 3 for about an hour are 60c. CPU is 35c and case temp is 43c. I have a 120mm fan blowing in from the front and 2 80mm fans exhausting. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
System specs:
MSI NEO4 Platinum SLI mobo
AMD64 3500+ 512K 90nm cpu
2x MSI NX6600GT TD128e vid cards (SLI mode)
4x 512mb Kingmax SuperRam Dual Channel(2gig)
450 watt PS 22amps on the 12v rail
Super Tanlent Dual fan memory cooler
2x 200gb WD SE 8mb HDD's (IDE)
2x Memorex DVD 16x burners
2x CoolDrive 3 for HDD's
19" Sceptre LCD monitor
if I forgot anything sorry

Kick MSI Turdo Experience to the curb (get rid of it)
It's more of a sales gimmick, then really being usefull in most cases.
If it continues, you may want to start all over from scratch and get the latest drivers here nVidia Drivers
I always avoid drivers on the CD at all costs and the manufacturer's drivers as well. Unless of course there is a known problem or issue that mandates use of the manufacturer's drivers. Otherwise, always get the latest drivers from the chipset vendor.
Also, a bit tedious is trolling forums for any clues as to what everone else is using without issue, you'll at least have an educated head start.

[GeForce PCe] MSI 6800GT PCIe overclocking blocked HELP!!!!

I have 2 MSI 6800 GT in SLI mode. I tried to overclock them but the clock seems blocked: when I use Riva Tuner or the driver's control panel and I try to overclock it says me that driver has not passed the test; so I tried to downclock them but it says me the same thing... I tried to do that with many driver versions (71.22,71.84,77.76,77.77) but the result was the same.
My hardware configuration is:
-DFI Lanparty Nf4 SLI-Dr
-AMD Athlon 64 4000
-2*512 MB RAM Kingstone ultra low latency ddr 400
-Maxtor Diamond Max 10 300 GB SATA
-Enermax Noisetaker 600W
I have windows xp professional corporate service pack 1
How can I do to unlock them?

As for overclocking you can use and or try COOL BITS

Geforce FX5600(256MB) Questions

Hi,
I just purchased the GeForce FX5600 card model number FX5600-VTDR256 and have some questions regarding the card.
I have already read through the forums and could not find any answers so here's a new post.
I wanted to know 3 things.
My First question:
On the back of the box it says E3:Fan Speed Monitoring and Warning
I can't find the software through with which I can monitor the fan speed and
temperature of the card.
Please help!
My Second question:
My card has a Video_In option, I managed to attach my TV and the card through the Video lead and now I can Watch TV through the Media Center in WinXP.
Now is there a way to surf channels since my TV doesn't support S-Video
leads and the Video lead doesn't surf channels.
My cable TV doesn't come with a digital box or anything, I just get a RF connector lead that goes in the back of the TV and I scan for channels through the TV.
My Third and last question:
When I install the Media Center II in Windows ME, at the end of the
setup I get an error message saying the WINDex.dll failed to self-register.
Afterwards when I run the program in Windows ME, I get a Director Script
error and have to quit the program.
Could anyone please guide me as to what I should do.
Please help me out, especially regarding the temperature problem and the
Media Center problem in Windows ME.

My First question:

temperature of the card.
Please help!
It should be in the nVidia settings under the advanced button and the slide out menu, should be the last one down, called temperature settings. You could try using the 3d Turbo Experience but it can be troublesome and bulky. I prefer to use Drivers from nVidia and the Coolbits Registry hack for the clock features
My Second question:
My card has a Video_In option, I managed to attach my TV and the card through the Video lead and now I can Watch TV through the Media Center in WinXP.

My cable TV doesn't come with a digital box or anything, I just get a RF connector lead that goes in the back of the TV and I scan for channels through the TV.
Don't really know the answer to that for sure but I would try using a VCR as your tuner and use the VCR's remote to surf. Perhaps someone's got a better answer ?(

Have you been here to download the latest?

It only says XP 2000, I have looked on every page but all the links point to the same file, it is an upgrade to Version 3, Maybe it will work, if not I will ask if there is an update for ME.

Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT question

Is anyone running Vista 32 bit using Bootcamp on their SR MBP with the Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT?
I ran a vista compatibility scan on the MBP and it said that the card would not work in Vista.
I am curious whether this is true or whether others with the same hardware are able to do it ok.
Thanks for any advice.

Hi Luis,
Yes, I am running Vista via Boot Camp on my Early 2008 MBP (SR with 8600 GT). The drivers were included on my restore DVD. You shouldn't have a problem. Good luck!

NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT: Questions about my 17" MBP

I have a 17" MBP with the 8600 graphics (early 2008 4,1). I have yet to have an issue with the card and I am wondering if there is a way to tell if I might have an updated version of the card or logic board. I love my computer but don't want to hold on to it if it is the ticking time bomb I have read about. I am terrified at the moment as this is my only laptop and I dont want to have it die on me.

It's 4 years old, if you had the "problem" it would have manifested itself by now.
Nothing you can do either way if it is as your past 4 years and out of 3 year AppleCare, so your running on fumes.
Since laptops last about 4 years anyway, your about due for a replacement.
If you want to do something to help it last a bit longer, have the fans removed and the vent grill behind them cleaned of the dust bunnies that collect there every 6 -12 months.
Use external keyboards and mice, cd drives. All you can do really, should have been done when you first got it.
My 26 month old Early 2011 still runs fast as the day I bought it, as I didn't upgrade to the bloated 10.8, nor problemistic 10.7 and it's bad firmwares.
I also have the keyboard area covered with the original packaging, use external devices for nearly everything so it still appears brand new.
I even have the box it came in protected.
I could sell this thing on eBay at anytime and collect the best price. 10.6 anti-glare 17" is highly desireable for many reasons.

NVIDIA VIVO questions. Please help!

I've searched the NVIDIA website, the MSI website, and around the web and haven't been able to find the info I've been looking for about VIVO. I can't believe that a feature advertised by both NVIDIA and MSI has no documentation at all.
So I'm wondering if anyone out there with an MSI GeForce card with VIVO could answer some questions for me, regarding the video-in features. Is there included software used to capture video? Is it possible using the VIVO connection to capture video in Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 or another NLE??? What formats can video be captured to: DV AVI, uncompressed AVI, or MPEG-2?
I've got a job to convert several VHS tapes to DVD, and I planned on using my Pinnacle MovieBox DV (a breakout box connected via FireWire). It's always been a hunk-of-junk, but now it won't cooperate at all. It continuously locks up after capturing only 2 minutes of video. It's about to be slammed against the wall.
I had planned on purchasing an MSI 7800GTX in the future, but if VIVO does the things I need it to then I'd purchase one now. Otherwise, I'll have to look into another A/V box.
So if anyone has any experience with VIVO on a GeForce (preferably MSI-branded), please let me know immediately!!! Otherwise, if anyone knows of a good A/V breakout box please let me know. I only paid $150 for my MovieBox DV, but it's caused nothing but problems.

In theory all you need are these drivers and some WDM compatible capture software (eg. WindowsMovieMaker/iuVCR/VirtualVCR/VirtualDub/etc). Good luck.

MSI GT60 dedicated GPU question

Hello everyone! This is my first post
Basically i have a MSI GT60 2OC-003US, i have two questions regarding it.
First, I just bought a 27" monitor to plug into my notebook via HDMI. Now I have heard that the dedicated GPU (Mine is the GeForce GTX 770M) is not meant to be used at all times, however, when i plug in my HDMI to the monitor, the power light goes from white to orange indicating that the dedicated card is being used. Is there any way to make it so that it uses my integrated card instead of my dedicated? I am going to have my monitor connected at all times so i don't want it to be running off of my GTX.
And also, if i am gaming or have a monitor plugged in, and i stop gaming or unplug the monitor, the orange light should go back to being white since the dedicated gpu related programs are closed, yet it still stays orange? Wondering how i can fix that.
Thank you lots!

GT60 2OC outputs video signal via dedicated GPU circuit. It's the hardware design. You can't change this architecture.
There're lots of processes using dedicated GPU out of your notices. You can go to NVIDIA Control Panel, find Desktop menu and check "Display GPU Activity Icon in Notification Area" to enable the activity window to quickly monitor which processes are using the dedicated GPU.

MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR Questions & RAID Promise FastTrak Controller Issue

I have recently rebuilt my system replacing the MSI KT3 with an MSI K7N2 Delta. I have been impressed with the features and stability of the system, however, I have some questions that I hope some of you that have more experience of this board can answer:
1. I am using the AMD Athlon XP 2200 (and all the other components including the Lian Li case) which I was using on the KT3 board. The CPU temperature is around 45 degrees C but on the KT3 it was only 35 degrees C when idle. Any ideas ? The heatsink is definetly mounted properly. The temperature did drop by 10 degrees C when I flashed the
BIOS to fix the known CPU temperature issue but I think its still high.
2. I do not have any serial ATA devices or anything connected to IDE3 channel and during the BIOS boot up I get the message:
"No drives attached to FastTrak Controller. Bios Not installed."
Is this correct ? Should I be getting this message ?
I would like to disable the onboard Promise Controller since it is taking up resources and it slows down the boot speed (although only slightly). The MSI website says that the onboard RAID controller can't be disabled. I think this is poor design. Does anyone know if this is going to be addressed in future BIOS releases ?
3. Which of the USB ports are USB 2.0 and USB 1.1. I thought it was rather strange that only 2 of the 4 ports on the header actually active.
Many thanks for your help.
Rupesh

First off your temp is ok on that board. If you have not loaded the onboard raid driver do so and it is something you have to suffer with on the MSI board. All of your USB ports should run at USB 2.0 and you also should be able enable all of them in the bios.

MSI GE60 2PL Cooling Question

Hi there,
I just bought a MSI GE60 Apache-629 Laptop. I Never owned a MSI Laptop but I am Very Satisfied so Far. Even though it doesn't have the NVidia GTX 860m , like the Apache Pro, I can Still Run Battlefield 4 on Medium Spec in 1920x1080.
My Question is should I Press the Fan Button to Speed Up the Fan when Playing Battlefield 4 ?
It seemed like my Laptop was getting VERY HOT !
Is this Normal ?

Hello ericpatterson89,
If you don't mind the fan noise and the power consumption while you're playing BF4, just speed it up. The temperatures of the CPU & GPU are always hot when playing these types of 3D FPS games, no matter which model. Some models are just bigger and thicker so that you don't feel so much heat on the surface. But actually they are all very hot in those cores.
So the best and accurate way is to run "Dragon Gaming Center" to monitor the temperatures of the CPU & GPU. Its icon can be found on the system tray (right-bottom of the screen). Just double-click it to open its window and it will show you the temperatures of both CPU & GPU.
There's an EC firmware inside the laptop which will automatically increase/decrease the RPM of the fan or boost up/throttle down the GPU power consumption according to the heat generated. So if you always turn the fan in full speed during the game play, according to the principle of the NVIDIA GPU, it will run as fast as possible if needed until it's throttled by EC firmware. In my past experience, setting the fan in full-speed during the game play will get more time running fast and smooth than setting it automatic. That's why I am saying that it depends on the user's tolerance to the fan noise...

MSI Big Bang Marshal - Questions

Hello all
I am new here and I have been doing research on components for a new computer I am making a shopping list for. I have a few questions I have not been able to find any information online. Here goes
1. Anything specific I should know about the motherboard other then whats in the specs? Problems, quirks, etc?
2. Does the motherboard only support 2x Dual Video cards like 2x Nvidia GTX 590 or can I use 4x Nvidia GTX 480s?
3. P67 motherboards with the nf200 on them support 24 pci-e lanes. if I use:
PCI_E1 - 8x
PCI_E3 - 8x
PCI_E5 - 8x
PCI_E7 - 8x
Makes up 24
But there are still:
PCI_E2 - 1x
PCI_E4 - 1x
PCI_E6 - 1x
PCI_E8 - 1x
Left. Does that mean there are no lanes left and I coudnt even fill anything in the other 4 slots like PCI-E Sound, etc?
4. If you do Dual, Tri, Quad-SLI and have a PhysX card, how many PCI-E lanes will your PhysX card consume? Is it set by the NVIDIA control panel, the number of lanes of the chipset divided by the mount of video cards or by the card itself?
5. When people say Dual, Tri, Quad-SLI +PhysX, does it mean (Dual -1(PhysX), Tri -1(PhysX), Quad -1(PhysX) or does it mean (Dual +1, Tri +1, Quad +1)?
6. I know Scalability of increasing arrays of video cards is pretty poor, but could I do Quad SLI +PhysX using the MSI Big Bang Marshal?
7. Which is most advantageous, Tri SLI +PhysX, Quad SLI, Quad SLI +PhysX?
8. Sorry, probably not related, but I wanted to do Raid with SSD's for very fast reads and writes yet have redundancy. I wanted to get some OCZ Vertex 3s and I was reading about how Raid 5 was interesting but apparently Raid 5 increases the degredation of SSD? Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions on best raid configurations?
Thank you for all of your help

By my count, that makes 32 lanes. If not done so, a lot of pre preparation information can be gathered at the MSI Global Website. All the basic & more detailed information can be found there. The downloadable pdf manual is usually much more comprehensive than the manual that comes with the board as well, & can probably answer a lot of your questions. I don't believe the board can do Quad GTX 480 SLI.

MSI NX7600 GS 512Z question

Hello!Igot a question about my MSI NX7600overclocking.When I enable DOT I can overclock the 3D only to 440Mhz and the memory clock up to 880Mhz.But I have tryed the 480Mhz 3D and 960 Mhz memory clock as well and the system is still stable.But when I click on the apply button always jumps back on the maximal DOT mode 440/880.If I turn the DOT off and I change the clock setting the pc saves my settings until I turn it off.When I turn It on again there are stock frequency settings.How can I ovc my graphics card and save my settings?

MSI 915p Thoughts & ram questions

Hi All,
I'm thinking of buying one of MSI 915P neo2 Platinum motherboards, but i have a couple of questions. Firstly i'm having dificulty finding reviews for this mobo, so i've come here to see what you think of it (unbiased of course). Secondly i'm confused over what type of RAM it supports, some parts sellers list PC4200 others PC4300, i'm even seeing the newer PC5300 being mentioned. And finally what the difference between PC4200 & PC4300.
Thanks inadvance
