GTX 580 artifacts

Hello!
I am using a GTX 580 Twin Frozr II and I am getting green artifacts in demanding games etc, haven't really noticed it in older games/simple programs.
What happens is that the game freeze and there are green artifacts and then it crashes back to desktop.
I have been reading some about this issue and I've seen that people either rma their card or some people suggest that you could increase the voltage or something similar. I have never overclocked and things like that so I'm not really comfortable with doing that, I want the card to work fine as it is, I mean I don't want to buy one of the most expensive cards on the market and then have to overclock/underclock it to get it to work.
I did try to rma my card, they did a lot of testing with it,they ran benchmarking programs like heaven dx11 and furmark, but unfortunately it was all good when they tried it so I got the same card back. And of course it is still happening. For example 10 minutes ago I started Just Cause 2 and played for about 1 minute untill the green artifacts appeared.
I have a Corsair AX850W so my psu shouldn't be a problem. 4GB Ram, Asrock P55 Extreme motherboard and a i5 750 at 2.66GHz.
I would really appreciate allt the help I can get! Thank you in advance!

If you download it and use something like Nibitor, it shows you the BIOS version as 70.10.17.00.01 (date: 03/01/11).
add: as it's factory OC then you should be able to RMA (IMO) no problems. But that's painful / slow and a quicker fix would be to raise the volts very slightly until you get stability back (I doubt it'd be a huge increase). Or you can always try the older 'official' BIOS.
Hi. I did RMA it, sent it back to where I bought it from. and they ran some tests but found that it was working perfectly so I got it back again..
Should I increase the voltage by one at a time and test?

  • GTX 580 TWIN FROZR II OC Artifacting and crashing

    Hello everyone on the forum I'm currently a new member to this forum.. What i'm going to be explaining to you guys is a serious thing
    that happends alot of people.. Anyways my Graphic card have started to artifacting, it have been like so for some months now, i can't understand
    what the problem is.. I don't want to RMA the videocard, well of course i do but i don't want to tell my dad cause he will like freak out a little bit i think
    cause my computer cost alot of money, anyways there must be some solution to the problem..? Everyone is saying MSI Afterburner will fix the problem
    for you i've tried that ALOT, i'm even running it right now, i've increased the volt, decreased clocks, i mean.. can someone tell me a good setting for the
    video card? Like seriously it's not stable..
    I've tried this....
    1. Use Afterburner [Just need a good stable setting maybe?]
    2.Reinstalled my computer.
    3.Updated drivers also i've tried to change to beta drivers.
    4.Picked older versions of nvidia drivers..
    Please help me? :(
    Some quick specs...
    CPU: i7 2600K Intel.

    Btw: I'm thinking of updating Vbios, but will that help? I'm not so good in overclocking, so help would be needed..
    Also maybe change PCI-E cabel? that's connected to the graphic card?..
    I think the warrenty is off, i contacted MSI for a while ago they said i had it left and they were able to change it to a new one that's working but
    .. yeah, don't know what i should do! Some people that got their card replaced didn't help, they still have the problem..

    Well MS-7673 can be a couple of boards: http://www.msi.com/service/search/?kw=MS-7673&type=product
    None the less let's concentrate on the vga. When does it show artifacts. Right when starting 3D, after some time or randomly? If possible add screenshots.
    It's very random when It's going to crash, i have 2 pictures showing how it could look, also just want to say that sometimes when My computer tries to reset The card, i can get a bluescreen.

  • Another GTX 580 Twin Fozr DX11 green artifact driver reset issue

    Hello there.
    I just had a new computer built for me, and I am getting the green artifact issue that so many people seem to be having. These are my computer specs:
    CPU: Intel i5-2500k @ 3.3GHz OC'd to 3.9
    MB: Gigabyte z68x-UD3H-B3
    GPU: MSI Twin Fozr GTX 580, set at factory OCs
    PSU: Corsair CMPSU-750HX
    Memory: 2x Kingston 4GB HyperX RAM
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
    2x 24" LG Flatron monitors
    I only ever have these issues when playing games like World of Warcraft, or the new Deus Ex Human Revolution with DX11 enabled. When disabled the games run fine. I have tried many solutions I have found on this forum, and none of them have worked. I have tried just about every driver available, I have reduced the GPU clocks to reference clock speeds, I have tried increasing the voltage of the GPU, nothing works.
    One thing I did notice, while trying to play WoW with Afterburner open on my second display that it is easily running up to 99% GPU usage. Usually it is around this time the artifacts appear and the driver gets reset.
    Any help of advice would be greatly appreciated. I am very frustrated as this is a brand new machine, brand new card, and I'm having more trouble running games in DX11 than my previous 5 year old computer with a AMD 5850 in it. I didn't drop €420 on a card to be dealing with these issues.

    Alternative you can use Windows based flasher: [read the caution]
    with Nvidia Flash Tool[under windows]: http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2005/.html
    command line to take a VBIOS backup:
    nvflash.exe -b org.rom [ENTER]
    command line to flash your VBIOS from cmd:
    nvflash.exe -4 -5 -6 mybios.rom [ENTER]
    Where:
     org.rom is the name of your original VBIOS
     mybios.rom is the name of your VBIOS, you can replace it if needs with your name,
     but file extension must end to .rom [etc: another example: mybios.rom or similar]
    Before start flashing your VBIOS:
     * Close all applications that are currently running and can be closed!
     * Close especially any Antivirus Scanners and any other resident scanners!
    Those steps are need to prevent and avoid VBIOS update interruption.
    DO NOT TURN OFF OR REBOOT MACHINE DURING THE FLASH PROCESS!!!!!

  • Gtx 580 twin frozr II/oc problem

    I'm having problem with my gtx 580 twin frozr II/OC. everything is running fine but it crushes or video card lose focus when I run 3dmark 11 or try to play crysis. video output works fine, it plays metro 2033, star craft 2, dead space 2 just fine. It passed 1 hour of furmark stability test fine, 1 hour of OCCT test fine, passed OCCT memory test fine too. I didn't overclock it so it's at factory overclocked speed of 823mhz and idle temp is at 35c, gaming max temp during metro 2033 is 77c, OCCT test max temp was 88c. so I know it's not overheating problem. I have used both nvidia driver or 263.09 and 266.58, same result. it crushes during cutscene or after cutscene of crysis(i hear sound but no visual) and lose focus after initial loading on 3dmark11. vga bio is 70.10.17.00.01 and i am running on windows 7 64 bit ultimate edition. yes, i have updated to latest version of crysis and 3dmark11 too. still, the same. Is something wrong with this card during manufacturer place or what? I don't think this is just my problem coz according to newegg review, there were customers complain about this card gets crush during crysis. I also own gtx 570 from other brand and I was using it b4 I've got msi gtx 580 twin frozr II/oc. It didn't have any problem like this. Anyone know what's causing this? any help? I don't think RMA would help this problem at all coz card is not broken and works fine on everything just fine with no error or artifacts besides those two(3dmark11 and crysis).

    OC is always risky and done at own risk.
    Basically the max allowed from AB
    We are not going to OC your card further,
    but just to make it stable at default HW-OC speed

  • MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr 2/OC Problems

    Hey guys, I just build my second new(er) computer (specs below, system 2), with this MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr 2/OC, and I am having several problems. The first problem I noticed was was in Starcraft 2, I was having major texture stretching (looked like units were stretched across the map, exc.), so I tried a new driver to no avail. I delt with that problem and played for several hours to find that the screen turned black, then recovered (happened several times), which I was able to continue playing after. I went ahead and tried Battlefield Bad Company 2, and noticed the same texture stretching, but with big black shapes (almost looked like large artifacts), so I checked the temps, 74c, so that was not the problem. I continued playing for about 5 minutes before the screen went black, turned white, and the game became unresponsive. Thinking it was a possible PSU problem, I moved the card to my first system (specs below, system 1), and produced the same results.
    Does anyone have any ideas, or is it time to RMA the card. Sad thing is, I am seeing alot of people having problems with this card, I hope MSI didn't do me wrong here.... :(
    P.s. I flashed the newest BIOS for the VGA and the MoBo.

    Quote from: doubleohseven on 12-September-11, 06:45:32
    Unfortunately it has, and the artifacting only seems to get worse as time goes on (if the card/game doesn't crash right away that is...). I guess RMA'ing is my only option at this point, thanks for your help.
    I'll chock it up to a defective card this time, but seeing all the problems with these similar cards from MSI is making me worried... I only hope MSI didn't do me dirty with this product.
    No worries, call msi at +1.626.271.1004 within regular business days and they will take care of it

  • Benefit of using Quadro FX 5800 vs. GTX 580 in CS6... Is there any?

    I've been looking around and could not find a good justification to use a Quadro FX 5800 vs. GTX 580. Is there something that I am missing about the Quadro?

    I have a question for you on the GTX 680, why do you and others say that the GTX680 is hamstrung by the 256-bit bus when the memory bandwidth of the GTX580 is 192.4 GB/s and the memory bandwidth of the GTX 680 is essentially the same at 192.2 GB/s.  The specifications show that despite a narrower interface that have much faster memory for the 600 series (Data rate of 6 GHz versus 4 GHz) Incidently there is a serious memory clock rate mistake on the nVidia page on the GTX 680 specs.   For backup I had to go to EVGA's specifications
    anat_usa, go with the GTX 6xx family there is now a new GTX 670 with either 2 GB of VRAM or 4 GB of VRAM.  You will be much happier in the long run.

  • GTX 580 3GB or GTX 680 2GB

    Hello all, I have a question.
    I recently built a x79 3930k sys, I bought a EVGA gtx 580 3GB for the PP MPE....EVGA has a step-up program for 90 days I can step up to a better card. I just bought the card march 3, so I still have a few months. However, I entered their que for a step-up to the gtx 680 2GB for the up in Cuda Cores... but for I have learned from some videos is Adobe After Effects will use all the VRAM (3GB for my 580) and get some sorta performance increase??? Can anyone explain to me what I would be missing
    going down to 2GB from 3GB of vram .. I can also cancel my step-up and still reenter for 2 more months.. to see if EVGA offers the 4GB version by then. At that point I would reenter the step up program and upgrade to the gtx 680 4GB....   as it stands I only pay shipping (8.40) for the jump to the 680 2GB, the 4GB version might cost a bit more ($50-100) what the heck should I do... Though I am not using after effects at the moment I anticipate heavy usage.. I am not worried about applying the hack for the 680...

    Difficult question to answer at this moment. It depends on a number of things. What kind of material do you edit? If it includes RED 4K or EPIC 5K, I would definitely wait for the 4 GB version, but if you don't do that regularly or only in small amounts then the 2 GB version may suffice. The GTX 680 has of course the advantage of being PCIe-3.0 which can be put to good use on your 2011 platform and supports three or four monitors, something the 580 can't do. Whether the 680 will be faster than the 580 with 3 GB remains to be seen. The number of CUDA cores has tripled, but the memory bus was reduced from 384 to 256 bits, and it is not yet clear what impact that will have on performance.
    A second thing to consider is your intended AE use, which you say will be heavy in the future. Tthe fact that After Effects can use multiple GPUs for CUDA computation (for the ray-traced 3D renderer) makes using some GPU setups sensible that may have been a waste for Premiere Pro.
    IMO, you currently have the following options, including the announced but not yet available 4 GB versions of the 680:
    1. Stick to the 580, but add a 560 Ti for AE and steering a third monitor.
    2. Step up to the 680 2 GB for steering a third monitor, but with the risk of running out of VRAM with RED or EPIC material and thus the reduction to software mode only.
    3. Step up to the 680 4 GB for steering a third monitor without the risk of software mode fallback.
    4. Take a gamble that the 685/690 with a 384 bit memory bus may be announced in the near future (not likely).
    The problem is that TSMC, the supplier of the nVidia 28 nm chips has serious difficulty meeting demands for these chips. See http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20120405PD218.html

  • 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:

    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..
