MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II Golden Edition GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi)
I just got this card in the mail about two days ago. Yesterday I played all day with no problems, it was fantastic. Awesome card.
But...
I played tonight and about a hour into playing I started experiencing Artifacts all over the screen. CSS has white squares all over the screen.
Bad Company is unplayable since it hits me with a white screen or worse crashes my computer. Assassins Creed has really bad Artafacting.
Tho Portal 2 runs awesome (Bad ass game, not surprised. lol)
I thought my card was overheating, So initially I quickly checked the temp and it was running at a cool 46 degrees. So it should be fine? (Max heating before card explodes was 90?)
I played with in game settings with no avail.
I then thought perhaps the drivers were perhaps bad so I reinstalled them, still no luck so I went and tried older drivers still no dice.
I then reduced the clock settings MSI shipped the card with to stock settings. Still no luck.
I even under clocked the sucker and yes... Still the artifacts appeared.
I thought perhaps its not plugged in right or seated right. Nope everything seemed in place and snug.
I plugged in my old Nividia 8800gts and it worked just fine. (Awesome card, lasted me all these years)
I searched for about two hours looking for a fix, but a lot of them talk about RMAs.
So Im thinking this card might be busted, but I really don't want to RMA if I don't have to.
Did I over look a simple fix , is it busted , do I have to RMA?
Any help would be awesome... Awesome to the max!

Okay did some research and found out my power supply is multi-railed with the highest output of 12v19a.
According to the manual for this graphics card it needs at least 12v30a.
That's really disappointing since I just bought this power supply about a month ago. It was supposed to
be part of my new computer I built for The World of Tomorrow!
Since in most of my games it run just fine, in fact really well. Video and web interfaces still work well. Only when doing heavy graphics
dose my card start freaking the math out. (excuse my language.)
Using educated guessing I learned in Art School Im going to put my chips on the Power Supply being my problem.
Im either going to ask a friend with a beef cake of a Power Supply for testing or Im just going to roll the dice and buy a new one.
Whatever feels less awkward when I get up tomorrow morning.
In any case I will post again in about two to five business days if all things go a rye or shiny. I like shiny.

GTX 560 Ti 2GB OC Edition Drivers Problem

Hello
I bought a MSI GTX 560 Ti 2GB OC Edition but i can't make it work.
Every driver i tried, windows won't recognize the card.
i tried CD driver (266.58)

285.62
i tried it on windows 7 x86 and x64 also on two different computers.
on other side GPU-Z recognize the card (model, BIOS, HW, Vendor) but can't get all the info like (clock, ram speed, etc)
i tried too, let the windows install the card itself with windows update but the same issue at the end.
help me please!!

thanks for your fast answer.

MSI GTX 560 TI Hawk Unstable?

I have a brand new custom built PC with two MSI 560 TI Hawk cards in SLI and I have a problem with playing games on this system. I've tried Portal 2, Far Cry 2, Two Worlds 2 and The Witcher 2. All games seem unstable with comparable problems:
Random lock-ups for 10-20 seconds with audio looping
Random small jitters, frame drops and stutters, including audio stutters
Sometimes my whole system freezes so I have to push the reset button
Artifacts
Flickering parts of the horizon, sky or ground in the game
Sometimes the game runs fine for a few minutes and then the problems start happening, sometimes they are there from the beginning.
I tried to eliminate possible causes one by one to narrow out the actual problem. Even disabling SLI and running on a single card doesn't help.
Here are the things I tried:
Monitor GPU temperatures with GPU-Z: didn't show anything unusual, around 35 degrees idle to 65-70 degrees stressed
Disable SLI: didn't fix the problem
Download MSI drivers v266.44 (older version than current NVidia drivers): didn't fix it and I couldn't find the SLI option in these drivers so i switched back to v280.26
Check driver and firmware version with MSI Live Update 5: everything seemed to be up to date
Remove graphics cards: cleaning the connections and re-installing, didn't fix it
Stress the cards with FurMark: no issues detected and temperatures seemed normal (70 degrees stressed)
Lower the stock clock speed (950 Mhz) to the standard non-overclocked speed (822 Mhz): this seemed to help at first and the problems didn't occur for a while. But while i'm testing right now Portal 2 froze and stuttered a few times again. Although it seems like it happens less often. So this might be a clue to my problem. Anyway I didn't pay extra money for these overclocked cards to underclock them back to standard so I would like to make the cards run on stock settings (950 Mhz).
Here are my system specifications:
Processor: Intel Core i7 2600K 3.4 Ghz (stock speed)
Mainboard: Asus P8Z68 V-Pro
Memory: 2x Corsair Vengeance 4GB DDR3 CL9 12800 Mhz
SSD: Crucial M4 256GB SSD
HDD: 2x WD Caviar Blue - Raid 0
Graphics: NVidia Geforce GTX 560 TI Hawk 1GB SLI
PSU: Corsair TX750 V2 (750 watt)
I hope you can help me to fix this issue because I'm out of ideas right now....
Thanks in advance
Tandpastatester

Well I've tried some more things but it's all still very weird and not helping at all I will explain my findings in the order i tested the cards this time, after every card-switch i did a clean re-install of the VGA drivers:
Card-2
I've ran the OCCT test for one hour on card-2, i got zero errors and temperature never went above 76 degrees with a fan speed around 68%. After this i tried testing some games again and I found out there were still problems regardless of me saying that card-2 did fine before. In Portal 2 I was leaving the game on for a while and after a few minutes it froze with audio looping. I found out that when I use ctrl+alt+del to go to the task manager and then go back to the game it recovered and I could continue playing (weird??!). The same thing happened with The Witcher 2, freezing with audio loop and going to task manager and back let me continue playing. This happened every few minutes.
Card-1
Now it was time to try card-1 again. This time this card didn't seem to have the frequency problems I mentioned before but the problems didn't go away. Portal 2 let the game freeze within a minute, and I could use the same strategy (task manager) to continue, but this time after a few seconds it would freeze again and again. The same happened with The Witcher 2. Then I tried Far Cry 2 and this game had the same flickering problems as with card-2 but a lot worse... it was almost everywhere. Even sometimes the flickering had a checkerboard kind of shape. Now I ran the OCCT test with this card and there were no problems. Another strange thing was that when I was looking at the graph after the test, the temperature was much lower (65 degrees) and the graph line of the framerate was very straight (stable) along the test. This was different than with card 2 where the framerate and temp were higher and not so stable.
After all it appears i have comparable problems with both cards, only with card-1 they are much worse.

BF3 crashes every 5 mins - GTX 560 TI HAWK FROZR III

So Battlefield 3 looks great on this card but it crashes all the time. Nice and random. Drivers are up to date and the MSI auto bios system doesn't find any new ones. However, I hear the auto system doesn't work. Trying to get help to see why this is happening and if it does need a bios update. Card is about 3 months old.
System:
Core 2 3.2ghz
4 GB DDR3 RAM
Cosair 650W
MSI GTX 560 TI FROZR III
Display device : MSI N560GTX-Ti Hawk (P) on GF114 GPU
Display driver : 296.10
BIOS : 70.24.11.00.00
S/N: 602-v260-02sb1104176610
VBIOS: http://www.filefactory.com/file/6i0i0zyz6zwr/n/GF114_bin
MSI Afterburner readings snapshot at crash:
So everything looks good as far I as I can tell. I'm running BF3 settings a little below high. Game runs smooth with low temps. Highest I've seen so far is 51C but I haven't been able to play longer than 15 minutes in a row.
Any thoughts

Quote from: Svet on 27-March-12, 16:36:12
is your compueter stable if you use another video card?
have you tested this video card in another computer?
My system is stable and so is BF3 with other cards. I upgraded to this card from a 9800 MX2, and that plus my 4 gigs of ram would play the game fine at low-medium for hours on end.
I have tested the card in another computer but not with BF3. I may be able to do that later this week.
Any other thoughts? Does my bios look right?
Edit: Just tried exact reference clock settings with 100% fan, still only lasted 5 minutes.

GTX 550 Ti w 2 GB vs. GTX 560 Ti w 1 GB

I am looking to select video card for setup for lots of photo editing with various tools (including Photoshop) and some very light (next to none, I just dabble with it) video editing.
Card will be driving dual 2560x1600 setup.
I am looking to decide between EVGA GTX 550 Ti with 2 GB or EVGA GTX 560 Ti with 1 GB.
I do not know enough to be able to decide which one would suit me better / would be faster, would I benefit from that extra GB when using on dual display or not, would I hurt by 1 GB less on 560 Ti, what speed would be etc.
Can somebody help me please?

Personally, I would buy an ATI card because I believe they do a higher quality job implementing OpenGL.
Do you have intention to game with this system as well as use Photoshop?

GTX 560 PhysX problems

Hi!I have just buyed a new MSI N560GTX M2DIGD5 1 GB(non ti and not the Twin Frozer Edition) and i have been trying for hours and hours to install PhysX!Previriously i had on my computer an integrated ATI HD 3300!I have downloaded the last drivers from www.nvidia.com and everytime after the instal at the PhysX section it sayd FAIL!I also instaled the program GPU-Z and it shows PhysX unchecked!I am trying to run 2011 games so PhysX is a must!I have tryed to run the game Mafia 2 and always when i start it ,it says that i dont have PhysX so it begins to instal it!After the instal nothing happends and if i try to run the .exe again it begins to instal again!I have also tryed this:
"When upgrading the Graphics drivers, it is advised to ensure the old ones are properly removed.
If you download Driversweeper and Ccleaner, (Also make sure you have the latest Nvidia Drivers downloaded) then do the following:
Uninstall the Nvidia drivers from your PC (via the control panel) - it will normally ask / make you to restart the PC.
As the PC is restarting, load it up in 'Safe Mode' (pressing 'F8' on the keyboard during the boot up will get you the option)
When in 'Safe Mode', run Driversweeper to detect Nvidia Display and Nvidia PhysX. Once it has detected them all, delete them (I forget the message it tells you). Once deleted, it will ask you to restart your PC.
Again, as the PC is restarting, load into 'Safe Mode' - this time run Ccleaner. Select 'Registry' and then 'scan for issues'
Once the scan has finished, select 'fix issues' (make sure you save a copy of the registry when it asks you to - incase something goes wrong)
Then go into 'Device Manager' (right click on 'My Computer' / 'Computer', then 'Properties') Then select 'Display Adapters' and right click on your GTX470 - then 'Disable' (this will make sure that it does not try and automatically install the GTX470 when you restart.
Now, restart your PC into windows (normal restart)
Then go into 'Device Manager' (right click on 'My Computer' / 'Computer', then 'Properties') Then select 'Display Adapters' and right click on your GTX470 - then 'Enable' (cancel any messages to install drivers)
Finally install the Nvidia Drivers
Hopefully that will fix your problem."
I did this + when i have runned Driversweeper i check to delete the ATI drivers so they are not on this computer anymore!Even after doing all that and after hours and hour of trying with diferent drivers i still chould not make PhysX work !
My system is:
Windows 7 x64 bit

Nvidia Quadro 600, GeForce GTX 560 Ti or cheaper for Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3?

Hello,
I am a professional photographer and I am setting up a new PC (i7, Windows 7 64bit). But I have some troubles to choose the graphic card.
I use Lightroom and Photoshop CS5 3, no video editing.
Between the Open GL, Open CL, CUDA accelerations etc ... professional graphic cards models and consumer ones I am lost!
The Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti seems more powerful and more versatile but I tell myself that if Nvidia has professional range there must be a reason.
So in Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3 what would be the best: GeForce GTX 560 Ti or Nvidia Quadro 600?
http://www.geforce.com/Hardware/GPUs/geforce-gtx-560ti/specifications
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-quadro-600-us.html
Any reason to get a Quadro 2000?
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-quadro-2000-us.html
Or the graphic card doesn’t matter much and I should take an entry-level GeForce to enjoy the HDMI and the silence? Which one then?
Does the Quadro 600 manages 10bits display 10bits? And the Geforce?
Any change announced with Photoshop CS6 and Ligthroom4?
The only 3D application I use is Google Earth in 3D mode, does it make any difference?
Thank you for your help.

You say "no video editing"... If that's going to be the case, and you won't use the Mercury engine in the Adobe Premiere Pro package, which needs the nVidia Cuda subsystem, then I recommend you consider the ATI brand over nVidia.
Why?
Because while neither brand's developers (ATI or nVidia) always release perfect drivers, I find ATI display drivers to be of consistently higher quality than that of nVidia releases. What this means to you is generally fewer crashes or quirks. ATI has also traditionally supported older cards into the future better than nVidia - this might matter to you in a few years.
People ask me what video card I would recommend, and right now that would be a VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 6670 1 GB GDDR5 card. I like this particular card because:
I've had 100% success with VisionTek cards in a number of different systems, not only initially but they have all run as long as I have used them, without ever breaking down.
The 6670 model uses very little power (under 70 watts) and as such doesn't stress your computer's power supply, need a separate power connection, nor make a lot of fan noise.
It's not the fastest card made for 3D gaming, but it's inexpensive and excellent for Photoshop. No matter what you choose, you should get a card that scores over 500 on the Passmark GPU benchmark, ideally over 1000: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/
The ATI Catalyst display driver implementations for the 4670/5670/6670 line of cards have been good and solid.
1 GB of on-card memory seems to be a good size, even for editing a lot of images, and GDDR5 memory provides faster access than DDR3.
You should know that besides using Photoshop heavily, I also develop OpenGL-based software as well, so I have some additional insight into driver implementations.

Mercury Playback Engine- GTX 560 issue?

Adobe Premiere Pro Cs6
MPEG-2 from a Sony (HVR-Z1U) HDV 1080
Asus P9X79 Motherboard
i7- 3820 @ 3.9ghz, slight overclock. Regular LGA 2011 Intel Fan w/ thermal paste
EVGA GeForce GTX 560- 336 Cuda cores/OpenGL
12 gb GSkill
SSD for boot & software
1 TB Barracuda, 1 TB WD Black, both7200 rpm, each in half= 4 drives (:D,:E,:F,:G) for scratch and storage.
500w Purepower PSU
The card is recognized within CS6 and other various test applications.
With MPE GPU Acceleration Enabled I still have red bars above the footage in several projects. This footage has no effects on it whatsoever. It is merely cut. If I used an Accelerated Effect, the bar will turn to yellow.
When I render the footage with red bars the GPU load is never above like 3%. At times, it will stay at 0%. Needless to say, the render time doesn't not seem very optimized at all. Sloww.
However, after rendering the footage and the green bar appearing, I've added an Accelerated Effect- Sharpen, and it turns red again! The play back is then choppy. It will playback if I reduce resolution but how the heck am I supposed to implement the effects like that?
The minute I open several projects there is either no bar for untouched footage or a red bar. I switch between MPE software and hardware setting and still no yellow bar unless I specifically use an Accelerated Effectnc
Am I simply unclear on the function of MPE and I'm expecting too much?
I am using Magic Bullet's DeNoiser function for 60mins of footage with 18db gain- this is taking 50 hours. I expect it to be long. Is 50 hours too long?
I also have green and pink pixel artifacts as random quarter inch squares.
Is the card bad?
I tried a few earlier drivers...nothing.
I researched the PSU, good reviews on New Egg.
Is this a CPU issue?
Thanks as always for the help guys.

I have done a fresh install of the OS altogether. This was in order to reformat drives, reassign scratch disks, reinstall software and fresh unlocking of the video card.
Premiere Pro acts the same more or less. Noise removal is cpu intensive and when I'm removing 18db of video grain, I guess, yea, it'll be pretty slow.
I believe that the problem is the PSU. NewEgg's PSU calculator says my system needs 525watts minimum. I'm operating on a 500w. At the start of the post I was overlcocking and was also experiencing occasional reboots. I think lack of power caused the artifacts in the GTX 560. This is probably also bottlenecking the CPU and GPU (reason for low loads).
My solution is to purchase 700-850watt psu. I'm hoping this will allow the CPU & GPU the ability to process much higher loads.
Please, if anyone sees any further correction to this I'm open ears!
Cheers.

Gforce gtx 560 ti ... too high Temperature and crush

hi there
my post is similar at "MSI GTX 560 Ti HAWK Memory Temperature too high???"
but my graphic card is gforce gtx 560 ti _ 2gb gddr5 (i can't post external link to let you see wich one exactly)
when i play to one game my card's Temperature go over 100°c and my screen become black :(
... i'm suree that my card don't reach that temperature and i changed the base fan with an accelero xtreme plus II, but nothing to do with my problem.
so i'm there to ask an help
(sorry for my poor english)
Thanks in advance for your time!

i think, there is a problem with temperature sensor
or it is broken or ... idon't know .....
the temperature stay costant on about 78-80°C
and have istant spike when i play on a game.....
i saw it with speedfan and with MSI Afterburner.

Nvidia GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr driver hanging.. even after fresh OS install

Dear,
Sorry for my english
I'm facing issue with my Nvidia GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II, and I saw other do have...
My config :
When using windows, or games (I'm Crysis addicted ) I get a screen freeze, a blank (black) screen and after seconds a video driver message saying that it recovers the display as it were not responding anymore....
It happens without reason to me and temperature isn't related as it happen even with a temp of 45°c....
I've tried :
Updating driver, downgrading them,
Re installing Windows (x64),
Updating motherboard Bios (P55a-UD3R Gigabyte with latest bios version)
Flashing my OCZ Vertex 3 SSD (a pain ....)
Upgrading my power supply to a Corsair 750GS
Nothing corrects the problem.
At last I 'm looking to upgrade video bios but I don't want to brick my precious video card...
So I'm requesting your help to use "THE" good file version of video bios using NVFlash 5.118 for Windows for example.
Overclocking isn't my goal, stability is...
Thanks a lot for your help... as I ain't find video bios file on MSI support site....

You are lightning fast !!
880 -> 822
1050 -> 2000
I sure have done an error here !!
Modification will be done as soon as I get close to my Crysis PC... (ETA 18h00 GMT+1 )
880 -> 822 won't be noticable
1050 -> 2000 will result in a massive perf improvement ??
I red :
4000M hz !!!!
I believe it's all wrong...

GTX 560 Ti (Twin Frozr II) Temperatures

Hello, I know that temperatures are a 'hot' topic always, especially for the 560 Ti as it is rated 20'C cooler than stock. At the moment I hit a threshold of 92-95'C when playing World of Tanks on 1680x1050, full settings except Anisotropic 8x. The custom fan settings are such that after 70'C the fans are at 100%.
I have only 1 VGA - GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II, in an NZXT Tempest 410 Elite case. It has 2x 140mm exhausts (top) 1x 120mm exhaust (back), 3x 120mm intake (2 front, 1 bottom). I can attach pictures if a visual of the setup is needed. I have an excellent wiring setup, there is very little blockage. I also run BOINC and hit high 70s and mid 80s. Most games run in the high 80s.
I've tried Furmark a few times but anything larger than 800x600 maxes temperatures almost immediately (within seconds) and the fans cannot catch up and I stop it before it can set fire to itself. It also makes a loud ringing noise during those tests, so that's not good either.
Is anyone familiar with such high temperatures on a card that is not OC, other than how it came in the box, in a case with lots of airflow, playing games that really shouldn't be hitting that temperature? Also, I've tried testing with the removed side panel, it changes by perhaps +/- 1-2'C.
All help is greatly appreciated, I'd like to know if I have to RMA for faulty thermal paste or just stop worrying about the glowing red boiler in my computer.
Thank you,
Kyatto

Quote from: Henry on 29-February-12, 07:03:38
Have you re-seated the cooler on it yet with fresh TIM? Some people have done that and got a reduction in temperature and therefore fan speed and noise as well. If that doesn't do any good then RMA the card as it should not get to max temp like that.
I don't have any issues like that on my 560 Ti GE TF ll and currently it's running f@h 66% fan speed, 73C at 99% GPU load, 23C room temp. This is in CM 330 Elite case with 1 front intake, 1 rear exhaust fans both 120mm + PSU fan exhaust. Nothing fancy there and I've never had temperature issues with any MSI (6 in all the past few years & all but 2 with TF ll coolers)
I certainly don't see how replacing all of his case fans would help with his VGA temperature problem.
This is one scenario I feel I can speak with authority on and I bet 100 internet points it doesn't address the issue but there is no harm in doing it.
AS LONG AS YOU ARE GENTLE PULLING THE HEATSINK OFF
You can't just lever it off, you'll need to giggle/spin/twist back and forth a bit. This is because you'll find an ungodly amount of gloop under the heatsink and it provides very strong surface tension.
The reason i ask about the adapter is I got a strange one with the 1st card I got that had to be RMA'd because of the same high temp issue you are having. (it was about 8cm long, and grey)
Initially I thought maybe it was a batch of cards that shipped with that one that were the hot ones, a duff batch.
Ironically I cant use both DVI sockets and the mini hdmi port because the card is not wide enough. The weird grey adapter would sort that issue out so I'm trying to find one.

GTX 560 ti twin frozr II PSU

Hi everybody,
pls help me with my problem. I bought GTX 560 ti twin frozr II - in my case i have: Intel i5 750, 1TB HDD, 3GB DDR3 and 2x92mm fans. PSU is Seasonic S12II-520 Bronze.
When I connect graphic card on two 6pins and power on PC, nothing happend. Only fans on case, CPU, psu and graphic fans make small moves but PC do not start. When I disconnect two 6 pins, PC started, but I do not see scene on monitor. What is wrong, graphic card, or psu?
And sorry for my english.
Martin

thank you for you care
graphic card it is not "new" so I have not warranty (my fault) next time i will buy new. But graphic card look like new. On first look there is not traces of use.
I do not clear CMOS - I never heard, that I can clear CMOS after insert new component...
I do not check compatibility - after this card I have zotac gt220 synergy edition 512MB, but when gtx 560 ti not working i buy Gigabyte gtx 560 SOC and this card working.
And I have MB ASROCK P55M Pro.

GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II/OC hangup

Hello.
I have GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II/OC, but some time ago i begun to notice random ingame(on all games) hangup(0.5-1 sec). In GPU-Z log hangup shows as "GPU Load % - 0" and "Memory Controller Load % - 0". I flashed new VBIOS (before 70.24.0A.00.00, after 70.24.21.00.00) and updated nvidia drivers from stable 285.79 to beta 290.36, same problem. Any help?

this can be caused by anything, hard disk lag and such

GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II - Nvidia drivers keep crashing?

Until recently I owned a GF8800 GT 512MB which worked like a charm. Never had a single problem with it. I bought the MSI GTX 560 Ti about a month ago. Ever since then I've had the nvidia drivers crash randomly every few hours. I though it might be a driver bug so I waited for an update, but since then I've updated the drivers twice (2 new stable releases and 1 beta), tried a "clean install" also and every version had the same problem. So it's obviously not a driver issue.
When I say crash, I mean the screen goes blank, the monitor turns itself off for a few secs, and when it comes back on, I get a tray notification that the "Nvidia driver stopped working/crashed and has recovered" (something like that).
I'd also like to point out that my PC really is 100% rock solid/stable and I have zero other problems besides this GPU issue.
Is this a faulty GPU or is there a solution for this annoying problem?
PC specs:
CPU: i7 930
MB: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R
RAM: 3x2GB DDR3 1600MHz 8-8-8-24 Corsair
GPU: GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II 1GB DDR5
HDD: Intel SSD 320 120GB, 2x320GB Seagate (Raid0), 1x500GB Seagate

OS: Win7 x64 Ultimate
EDIT: In case it helps, this has so far only happened during normal work in windows, never during gaming. So my guess would be a problem with the 2d software/hardware perhaps?

I recently bought the Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti SOC and I'm having similar problems too. So I guess Rasha here is correct when saying:
But it's not as annoying as it sounds, because, at least for me, the driver might restart only one time during a desktop session and then it's stable for the whole time along. I have been playing Skyrim these days with no problems. I do suspect too that firefox - flash might be one of the causes of the problem. I might try the older drivers Rasha speaks off later today.
There is definitely a problem with the 28x.xx and 290.36 beta drivers. Please see link below:

I am having this 'TDR' problem as well and have been helping nVidia by testing some drivers. Not really sure how long it will take to fix this but ManuelG (nVidia customer relations) did say the new WHQL driver has been delayed as they are trying to find a fix.
