Gigabyte M/B & MSI GeForce FX5600

Hi
Just some info for owners of the Gigabyte GA7-VAX-A M/B: When using an MSI FX5600 gfx card, you should d/l the latest M/B BIOS (version F3). This should fix the garbled 3D output.
Finding the problem kept me busy the whole weekend

puff,
That is good to know.
Thanx for passing it on,
Richard

MSI GeForce FX5600-TD 256Mb Tv-Out, DVI

Hallo!
I have a AND XP 2000+, 512 DDR 266, MSI KT3-Ultra, MSI GeForce FX5600-TD 256Mb Tv-Out, DVI
and a 450W psu. Win XP Professional sp1
I have a problem with games and when i tested in 3dMark.
It's score bad.
3dMark2003: 2312
All drivers are up to date and i have tried to reinstall all components
Can Somebody help me Please? ;(

sorry but the only way you will improve your score is to lose the MSI FX6500. This is a renault 5 in ferrari clothing. It simply does not have the necessary fill rate to compete with even a Ti4200, trust me I spent 2 weeks trying to get it running to spec.
Basically only an Ultra or FX5900 will improve it.
Nvidia boobed on the design of the Graphics processor, the card can throw out frames well beyong a ti4200 capability but because it cant fill them quick enough it cant maintain the framerate.....still dont believe me ? Try thi, run 3d MARK, any version, in 640X480, youll notice that the score doesnt improve dramtically. 640X480 should mean more FPS but still no fill rate so it cant process any quicker.
I am well pi**ed of with my FX5600.

Monitor for geforce fx5600

Hello to all
I have a vid card MSI Geforce FX5600 VTDR128 and a monitor that alone it resists up to 800 x 600.
I want to modernize my monitor, what monitor do you think I should buy crt or lcd?
Byron

CRT definitely if you're going to be playing games. The main drawback with LCDs at the moment apart from price, is that you're stuck with one resolution which is usually about 1280 x 1024 even in a 17" screen. I've just bought an EIZO T966 21" CRT which although pricey (it cost me €999) compared with say an Ilyama at around half that price, has many more features. One of the problems I can overcome with this monitor is to automatically resize the display area of MP games that run in 1024 x 768 with anti-aliasing options enabled. If I were to run them in the same resolution as my desktop settings, I would lose the anti-aliasing features. For the benefit of the uninitiated, anti-aliasing adds grey in varying degrees of lightness to the edges of images so that the jagged effect that you normally see is smoothed out. You can't do those things with an LCD monitor though because of the way the liquid crystal performs. Some useful info on the subject here

GeForce FX5600-VTDR128

Hi,
I've been looking around for a new GFX card, I was looking for a 256MB card, but noticed the MSI GeForce FX5600-VTDR128 which came with a remote control. The remote sortta got my attention as I noticed it connects to the TV-Out socket (if there is a 256MB card I've missed could you please let me know, thanks!).
My question: Using the software and calbe that comes with the card (nice software bundle too!) can you use the remote on other (MSI and non-MSI) cards that have the TV-Out socket?
Thanks for any help,
Pete

Hello:
sorry my english, I speak in spanish.
I brought this card a mounth ago, the remote controller is not a greatest thing in the world, this is very complete, it has a lot of functions, but the software blunde (included or feature) is to bad, is not fast. I think that I can use the remote controller for everything, but it is not (or I don´t know how do)
The card have a remote controller sensor with a wire. The conector of this wire is ONLY for this card (or another MSI, but not all MSI).
I hope help you, if you still have questions, write to me [email protected]
Sebas.
I have a question too,
Is posible to sintonize (tuning) the diferent channels with this card?
Grettins.

MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti "Twin Frozr II" crash at 50 degrees Celsius

I get artifacts (pink squares all over screen) in heaven benchmark, fluid benchmark and gta 4, a few seconds later I get a black screen and then an error message there windows tell me the driver has crash but praise msi it was successfully recovered. All this then the card is nearing 50 degrees Celsius.
I have:
MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti "Twin Frozr II", (BIOS: 70.24.0a.00.00)
Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H, Socket-AM3
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition

Windows 7 64bit (with sp1)
DC OUTPUT +3.3V +5V +12V -12V +5Vsb
MAX LOAD 24A 30A 52A 0.8A 3A
I tested driver on msi site and the latest nvidia driver, even tested some beta driver. All give the same result as stated above. I also tested to set the clocks at reference speed but no go. Also tested voltage at 1025.

Got a new card today, same card but new.
No problems now, seem the new card has newer bios and lower core voltage. Maybe that is a way to fix it, just upgrade bios.

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.

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.

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.
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?
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=446
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.

MSI GeForce GTX 760 Startup freeze.

Hi, first I'll start by listing specs:
-MSI geforce gtx 760, 4gb GDDR5
-Gigabyte H81.Amp-Up, LGA 1150
-Intel Core i5 4570 LGA 1150
-Corsair Vengeance LP, 2x4gb
-Seasonic S12II-620Bronze (620 watt)
-Windows 8.1 64-bit
I just recently attempted my first build, while putting the hardware together seemed like a breeze, the updating did not go so well. I booted up installed windows and went on as normal. When I opened a game it was extremely sluggish, so I decided to see if updating the drivers for the GTX 760, First I visited the official site for the drivers and once downloaded and installed was prompted to restart to finish the download. Once it restarted the entire system seemed to freeze just before windows started up. I had control of the mouse, but windows seemed to never start up. Since I couldn't access Windows I decided to re-install it. It booted as normal, so I decided to use the CD that came with the videocard. The exact same thing happened. I was thinking of updating BIOS, but that was a last resort sort of thing since I am admittedly not very tech savvy. Thank you ahead of time for your responses.

I actually found the problem late last night sorry I didn't post until now. The videocard wasn't getting enough power, I just switched leads. Thanks though.

MSI GeForce 210 not post in Sapphire A9RX480 mobo?!

This is a bit nuts. The MSI card is GeForce 210-MD512H:
http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N210-MD512H.html#?div=Specification%22
...witch is basicaly fanless budget MSI GeForce 210 with 589/1024MHz clocks and 512MB DDR2 ram. All in all a budget card to do the work required and that it is. I never expect playing Crysis on it... maybe SoF2... lol!
However I wanted to use it in my Sapphire "Grouper" A9RX480 mobo (that is ATI chipset RX480-450 for SB) and it refuse to post. When I plug there my old good PNY GeForce 7800, then (even w/o the external power cable connected - DOS only, true) everything seems working out nicely!
Now that is a bit insane. Any suggested bios settings to make the card work? The mobo is fine, memtest passed all tests and never had a problem with it...
Yes, it is claimed to be 16x PCIEx speed... shall I try 8x? Or what should I do? The card is also tested in another computer and it is working nicely there...!

Oooops, I'm sorry. When way more powerfull and way more PSU demanding 7800 GTX works fine, then I never even mind that any other information is necessary, but whatever. Here we go:
Board: Sapphire A9RX480 "Grouper"
Bios: oldest and even latest official version available tried, even moded version: http://ax2.old-cans.com/grouper - still same problem!
VGA: MSI GeForce 210-MD512H ( http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N210-MD512H.html#?div=Specification )
PSU: Enermax 620W Liberty
CPU: Opteron 148
MEM: Mushkin Enhanced DDR400 PC3200 (can do 2-2-2-5 :D - memtest fine)
HDD: none
COOLER: Zalman CNPS 9500 Led
OC: none
OS: none
It is just a mainboard, PSU and floppy sitting on chair near monitor (Eizo F35 Flexscan) for testing... Nothing else.
Tried 8x settings in the PCIE Bus Width, no difference :(
Some BIOS settings are really interesting - how about these?
LTD Configuration - Enabled
Upstream LTD Bus Width - 16bit
Downstream LTD Bus Width - 16bit
LTD Bus Frequency - Auto (1GHz, 800MHz, 600MHz, 400MHz, 200MHz)
(I know, this have more to do with the CPU memory controler that GFX card, but who knows?)
PCIE GFX Core Payload Size - 64Bytes (32Bytes, 16Bytes)
PCIE GPP Core Payload Size - 64Bytes (32Bytes, 16Bytes)
NB-SB Port Configuration - Default (Enhanced)
PCI-E GFX Link Width - x16 (x12, x8, x4, x2, x1)
Assign IRQ For VGA - Enabled (Disabled)
...any suggestions? Tried 32Bytes (for the PCIE GFX Core Payload Size|PCIE GPP Core Payload Size settings), but no change. Eg. NO POST with this MSI card...
Additional info about the card: it is MSI GeForce 210-MD512H, on the PCB is near the heatsink and PCIE connector:
"V201" "VER: 1.1" and "Product of China" and near the "no trash" symbol is "D33008"
From the bottom side, there is a big letters "N1996" after a "Nike" checkmark and at the end of the PCB, some probably manufacture info:
APCB M3 94V-0
RU 0942 E230435
E129N4774BB
Bought the card from friend, who replaced it with faster one. Tried with another computer, where it worked just fine (IIRC Gigabyte mainboard, but not sure about it) ...
Is there any bios fix for this card that help me out?

MSI GeForce GTX 970 TwinFrozr V backplate available/planned?

Anyone know if MSI plans/has a backplate for their MSI GeForce GTX 970 TwinFrozr V?
I'm looking to upgrade my cards and was looking at a couple of these, but really wanted a backplate for them.
Thanks
Anyone know when these cards will even be available to buy?!
I tried emailing MSI, but their site is a mess for registering and asking for support/help. Not sure if they even got my messages :(

Quote from: flobelix on 03-October-14, 20:29:06
Like already said no passive cooling is required on the back as the vram doesn't require any. The normal case airflow is sufficient. A backplate on the back of some manufacturer's cards are just for the look of the card. Your fingers are a bad indicator for the temperatures of electronic components.
I agree with the previous post.
Did you see how much the cards without an back plate sag? I do, my previous MSI GTX 660ti PE had a very bad sag and only at the end of the card.
If you have back plate its quite obvious that the vrm's get cooled much better and it ads some rigidity to the card as well. I am an member of overclock.net forum and they complain about the vrm temps compare to the Gigabyte versions. The vrms get much hotter on the MSI gaming than on the G1 from Gigabyte.
I am not saying that gigabyte is better than MSI or they clock higher, in fact, i have 14K score in Firestrike so i am good, but i am only pointing out that a GPU WITH back plate has better cooling and rigidity.

MSI Geforce 3 Ti200 Driver Updates for ME

Why can't the drivers be updated past 44.03 in Windows ME?
Multi-boot two operating systems
Abit KG7-Raid
AMD Athlon XP 1800+
512 MB DDR
MSI Geforce3 Ti-200 TD Pro:
MSI 44.03 drivers with Windows ME
Nvidia 52.16 drivers with Windows XP Pro
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer
Cambridge Sound Works FPS2000 Digital Surround Speakers
NEC 97F 19" Flat Screen Monitor
Linksys 10/100 Etherfast NIC
Maxtor 30 GB HD
IBM 10 GB HD
Yamaha CDRW
Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro
Microsoft Intellimouse Optical
US Robotix 56K modem (until NOV. 20, 2003 when cable broadband available )
I run all my games on WME so that I have more RAM available for the game (XP is memory hog) and because my flight control setup (CH Force FX {14 programmable buttons}, CH Pro Throttle {20 programmable buttons}, CH Pedals) is not recognized in WXP.
I received HALO as a birthday gift. It loaded fine. I ran it and it continually locked up at the main menu screen of the game. The Audio part of the game continued to advance, but the video got stuck. My wife loaded the game and tried to run it and got the same results, she has only WXP for an OS on an MSI K7T 266 Pro 2 RU motherboard. She upgraded her MSI Geforce3 Ti-200 TD Pro drivers from MSI 44.03 to NVIDIA 52.16 and HALO then ran flawlessly.
MSI has upgraded drivers 45.32 and Nvidia has upgraded drivers 45.23. Both of these drivers locked up my machine each and everytime I installed them. My machine runs the NVIDIA 56.12 drivers without any problem on Windows XP PRO. I had to uninstall the MSI 45.32 and/or NVIDIA 45.23 drivers and reload the MSI 44.03 drivers to get WME to boot up. HALO will not run on the 44.03 drivers. One of the techs from microsoft called me at home the last two nights in a row to try and resolve this issue. Conclusion at end of night one was updated video drivers needed to be installed. Conclusion at end of night two was that there was a hardware problem with the the conclusion that video card was not accepting drivers above 44.03 for the Windows Millenium Edition Operating System. There was no listing at either NVIDIA or MSI video driver site for any drivers beyond 44.03 other than NVIDIA 45.23 or MSI 45.32 respectively.
The burning question is this: As with some of the previous NVIDIA drivers are the new releases compatible with all of the operating systems? I ask this because looking in the NVIDIA 52.16 drivers folder that gets extracted I see references in the read me file to W98,W98SE,WME. Why does the MSI Geforce 3 Ti-200 card accept the NVIDIA 52.16 drivers with WXP PRO and not the NVIDIA 45.23 not the MSI 45.32 drivers with WME (and I assume W98 & W98SE?)
Interested in the response.
Thanks.

Judging from the problems I and several other people on the forum have mentioned, there seems to be a problem with the nVidia 45.23 drivers and video. I get a grey screen with vids unless i turn down the hardware accel to almost nothing. Other people can get vid to show on their tv out. So if you havn't tried an older driver version yet, maybe you could use the good old xp driver rollback in the video device properties.

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

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!

Ok, thanks for the advice.
I have started looking at the instructions and have downloaded the installer and the bios file. It seems Norton Internet Security has some problem with the installer. When I start the installer it reaches the point when it shows the current bios version, after that it is interupted by Norton. The reason that Norton gives is that it has found something called "Suspicious.Cloud.9.B" in the file b4.bks. How should I react to this?

MSI GeForce 4 TI 4200 and random lockups

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
P.S. Which OS are you running?
