GTX 660 Ti Power Edition HELP!!!!!!

I recently purchased a GeForce GTX 660 Ti OC Power Edition and I have been experiencing issues with it. I have only had it for 3 days and every once in a while, when I'm playing a game, my monitor makes a strange noise and my entire computer freezes and restarts itself. This has never happened before I installed the 660 Ti so I figured it had something to do with that. The card is running everything completely stock out of the box. I haven't tampered with anything in Afterburner or anything. This is my first mid/highish end card so I'm basically a complete noob when it comes to setting it up. Another problem I was thinking about could be the PSU, but I literally JUST purchased it 1 week ago and everything else seems to be running fine. As I said, I'm a complete noob when it comes to computers so I need all the help I can get. And I don't want to RMA the videocard until I know for sure that that's the problem.
OS: Windows 8 64 bit
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H 1155 Intel B75 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX
Processor: Intel Core i5-3470
Ram: 8 GB (sorry don't know specifics)
GPU: MSi GeForce GTX 660 Ti OC/Power Edition
PSU: Rosewill CAPSTONE Series CAPSTONE-750 750W Continuous @ 50°C, 80 PLUS GOLD Certified, Single +12V Rail, ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92, SLI Ready, CrossFire Ready

yes it could if its sending a very badly scrambled return signal thats creating garbage signals that are looping that are then sent from the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit(on the Graphics card)) to the CPU(Central Processing Unit (Main system processor)) and its causing a malfunction as it can make no sense of it so its shutting down itself to prevent damage and get rid of the BAD DATA its receiving!
just try another Monitor and see if it no longer does the auto shutdown then you know that the Monitor is faulty or if the different one does it too then maybe your Graphics card is Faulty but without testing it out you have no idea which as it could be either! (but the Noise from the monitor is odd and is more likely a monitor that cant handle it as it has a fault)

Thanks for the fast response

660 ti Power Edition DOA?

Hey, I was really pumped to get this new card so I installed it and was ready to go but my motherboard gave me a beep code of 1 long 2 short which from what I gather means a video problem so I tried reseating it a couple times and no good. The fans are spinning but I just get the beep code and nothing on the screen.
I popped my 470 gtx back in and it boot up with no problem.
My motherboard is a MSI p67A-C43(B3) and I tried updating the bios to the latest. Also my power supply is a 850w Seasonic so no problem there.
I'm not sure if there is anything else I can try, but I thought I'd ask....I've never had this happen with a video card before. It would really suck if it was dead since that means I just brought more work onto myself and I will probably have to pay extra to ship it.
Thanks.

Hi just as a note I see that suggested all the time take a part that does not work and try it in a friends system. The only problem with that is what happens if that bad part blows his board he wont be a friend then. Best to take it to a small local shop and ask them to test it while you wait much safer

MOVED: Can't overclock MSI 660 TI power edition

This topic has been moved to Overclocking, Undervolting.

Quote from: hurricane28
I know that no card is the same that's not the issue and like i said this card is a great card.
But can you tell me than why is it that when i looked at reviews they get 150+ on the clock and mem +600 when people who bought this card only manage to get in between +20 to +50? they did not use the aux voltage.
Quote from: flobelix on 10-March-13, 21:40:22
Overclocking is a matter of the individual sample. Some cards of the same model might clock great while others won't.
Quote from: hurricane28
I heard that the first cards would be able to put more volts but the later cards having volt locks because its high potential?
If so could i get the older bios versions of that card or get another bios on my card?
It just don't seen fair that the first cards could overclock way better than the latest cards.
and it is not that some cards are better ans some are not because this is my second card i get because i was thinking it was broken because of my problems.
Nvidia forced all card manufactures including MSI to remove GPU overvoltage above 1.175v. It has nothing to do with potential but Nvidia dictating to stop overvoltage. MSI is therefor not allowed to offer unlocked versions. Again overclocking is a matter of the individual sample and your 660ti PE is already higher clocked by default than most other manufacturer cards could do with manual oc.

GTX 660 Ti - Battlefield 4 - Blue Screen

I'm getting pretty frequent Blue Screens trying to run Battlefield 4.
The card is an MSi GeForce GTX 660 Ti Power Edition 2GD5/OC
I'm looking for a couple of things:
1) If there is any specific GeForce driver version that has been shown to work "best" with Battlefield 4 on the 660 Ti. I am currently on the latest as of this writing - 334.89.
and
2) What are the slider settings in MSi Afterburner to UN-OverClock this card? I want to see if the factory OC is killing the card in BF4, so I need to know how to throttle it back to where a stock 660 Ti would typically run.
Thanks!

Quote from: Bernhard on 04-March-14, 00:57:32
Blue Screens are normally caused by a combination of hardware.
What does the rest of your system consist of, including PSU.
Nvidia drivers may cause screen tearing or a recovery of the graphics driver, i.e. a black screen and then it will state that the graphic driver has recovered.
Can you describe the exact symptoms and if it is a BSOD, what is the error code you are getting.
A stock 660 would have a core clock of 915MHz.
Rest of system specs now in signature.
BlueScreenView reports the following for the last crash I got.
Exact symptoms are that the game suddenly freezes, the audio goes into a tight loop, and then it blue-screens.
At this point, having now come up to speed on the MSi Over-voltage situation on the 660 Ti, I'm wondering how to safely throttle back this voltage, as well as the clocks, to factory specs. I'm concerned that BF4 is simply too demanding and it's crashing the card due to either the OC or over-voltage.

GTX 560Ti Power Edition always crashing!

Hi,
I just got a new MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti OC Power Edition "448 Edition" OC Twin FrozR III.
Every time i try to play a game. a few seconds in and the pc crashes and restarts.
My pc specs are:
-Intel i5 2500k
-Asus P8P67 PRO motherboard
-8GB DDR3 1600mhz G skill memory
-Corsir force 3 120GB SSD harddrive
-3x sata 2 harddrives
-blu-ray drive
-19" hanns.g monitor
-750w psu
In Afterburner i can see the temp running ok just above 40c so that seems ok so im not sure whats up with it.
I got this just in time for xmas and i can't play with it :(
please help!

I was afraid of that. means i will have to buy a new PSU then. I'm looking at these..

I'm thinking of getting the 850w one because it only costs a little more and will be future proof.
What would be your recommendation?
wish i could test tho before buying but i don't have any other PSU's and don't know any one that does have a good one to use.

MSI GTX 660 gaming edition

Hi just a quick question, I overclocked my MSI GeForce GTX 660 Gaming Edition slightly from 1180mhz to 1203mhz and left the memory clock at 3005mb which is the same as MSI app OC setting that came with the card. (Overclock is so minor i just wanted to test)
Now for some reason im getting kernel driver error 331 stopped responding and has recovered which I never had before I uped the card a tiny bit and not sure if this is linked to adding more MHZ to the core clock or not
Also i noticed when the Kernal error showed MSI afterburner showed me my cards power usage hit 36,405,567 % .........
current setting of GPU
Core clock 1202MHz
Memory clock 3005MHz
Full load temp 45c-59c depending on what game
Power supply Corsair 600w gaming edition
Any help finding what caused the huge power % would help
Also is adding few more MHz onto the clock speed the cause
extra info ..... Case being cool by 3 Corsair 120mm fans so 100% not over heating

Don't overclock it like that.
Overclock it by using Kepler BIOS Tweaker v1.25 and nvflasher in combination and by modding the bios of the card. BUT do some reading on it before you go on with it. There are risks involved as in every kind of bios flashing. However, I have flashed my cards' BIOS so many times (like more than 30 times each lol, a bit too much yes) until I found stable settings yet I haven't seen any issues other than once where I tried to flash the TOP version's BIOS into my card and that way I had to boot using the integrated graphics card to log in to windows and reflash back to card's own modded-bios version.
OCing via card's BIOS will give you more control over your overclock.
When you increase the card's core clock the boost clock automatically increases as well and sometimes to a clock that the card cannot carry. I know this because I was OCing using Asus gpu tweak or afterburner before and I was getting the same error from even little overclocks.
I then used Kepler Bios tweaker and set the Max Boost Clock to a safe value after much testing.
Most of the time this value is at least as high as 1202Mhz. Msi is usually better in this department and gives more headroom but I don't see any need to go beyond 1202Mhz to be honest.
If you cannot get there with default voltage you can up the voltage a bit until it is stable.
I have 2 of these cards but Asus DCU2 versions in my mini atx motherboard setup where they sit like glued together. Yet still with 1.212 voltage running through the Bios modded one it does not get hotter than 70-71C. Without the voltage it is maybe 1 degree lower. I recently lowered my OC to 1136.6 max boost clocks and in games and heavy apps they run @1137 clocks both. I lowered it because it gave me smoother experience in BF4.

GTX 670 Power Edition gives no video signal

Hoping somebody can help here. I've had a long string of problems which seemed graphics card related. Initially, the problem that Windows would reboot with no error message or warning of any kind about a minute after logging in. No problems in safe mode nor any problem if I set Windows to start in Diagnostic Mode. Advice at the time suggested doing a system repair from my installation CD but didn't have time to do this before going on holiday. On return, the problem had deteriorated (or a new problem appeared) - there was no video signal, not even the BIOS screen.
At this time my graphics card was an NVidia GTX 580, motherboard a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R, I-7 950 CPU, 850W XFX PSU.
I ran through a host of tests to eliminate possible causes:
1. Tried the card in all PCI_E slots but still no video.
2. Tried another card (NVidia Quadro) in all PCI-E slots, system booted successfully with video and could login to Windows (difference here is the Quadro is powered directly from the motherboard).
3. Tried a number of DVI cables with both cards, the Quadro worked with all of them the 570 stubbornly refused to give a video signal.
Decided the problem was either the PSU or the GTX 580. Returned the latter under warranty and purchased the MSI GTX 570 PE. Installed this and again no video signal but ran through the above tests again with exactly the same results. However could now test the 570 on another system (could not try this with the 680 as PSU on my other system only had 2 6-pin PCI-E connections and the 580 required an 8-pin and a 6-pin power connection). The 570 at least produced the BIOS screen, booted Linux and presented a login screen. Didn't login as the PSU on this system was probably on the marginal side for wattage.
Decided then that I had a strange PSU problem. It could power my PC with the Quadro, suggesting motherboard, CPU, RAM and disks were all OK but could not provide sufficient power for either the 580 or the 670 cards. Bought a new 850W PSU and have just installed this with the 670 card in and yet again I get no video signal. I am now stumped as to what the problem can be so would welcome any suggestions as to what may be wrong and/or what else I can try.
Thanks,
George

then you should contact mainboard vendor about it as problem is not in the VGA.
I had given what I thought was sufficient information about the PC spec in my first post. Both what I started with and what I'd changed. But I'll give the full spec here:
Motherboard: GA-X58A-UD3R Rev 2.0
CPU: Intel I-7 950 3.06 GHz
Memory: 3x4GB Crucial DDR3 PC3-10600 • CL=9 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1333 • 1.5V • 512Meg x 64
Disks: Samsung 64GB SSD SATA System disk
WD 1TB and 500GB SATA drives
PSU: Coolermaster RS-850-SPHA-D3 80+ Gold - 3.3V:22A, 5V:25A, 12V:70A single 12V rail
GPU: MSI GTX 670 2GB OC Power Edition
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
The changes were the PSU and the GPU. The problem started when I had an XFX Black Edition 80+ Bronze PSU and a Gigabyte GTX 580 GPU otherwise the rest of the spec was and has remained the same. With my original spec, it ran perfectly happily for almost 2 years but then started with the system rebooting without warning about a minute after login (it would stay at the login screen indefinitely). After running some tests the clues seemed to point to the GPU configuration having been corrupted in some way (from sfc logs). However, if I set Windows to Selective startup, I could login and the system would stay up. I decided to do a system repair from my Windows 7 installation disk but had to postpone this for a couple of weeks during which time the PC was powered off.
When I next powered up the system, there was no video signal at any time. The investigation I did made me think either the GPU was faulty or there was a PSU problem - all other aspects of the system could be shown to work. I returned the GTX580 as it was under warranty and purchased the GTX670 with the refund. This exhibited the same symptoms as the 580 - no video signal no matter how long I left the system running. I was able to test the 670 in another system and it worked there. I couldn't run this test with the 680 as the PSU did not have an 8-pin PCI-E connector - just 2 6-pin connectors.
I then added an NVidia Quadro card alongside the 670 and booted the system with this as the display GPU. This gave me a video signal at all times and more importantly allowed me to get into Windows and check if it recognised the 670 in Device manager. It did but reported a problem as, until now, I hadn't been able to load the 670 driver. I did this and rebooted - again no video signal during post and initial Windows boot but I did get video as soon as the newly installed driver was loaded. This is the state I'm in now other than I've flashed the vbios as suggested and the GPU no longer works on my other PC.
Note, I can happily remove the Quadro and boot the system with just the 670, except I don't get any video signal until Windows has loaded the 670 driver - the monitor light stays stubbornly orange till that point. After that, everything seems to be fine - I don't get the reboots that this problem started with. The only other clue I have is with my original spec I always had a problem from shortly after building it where I would need to power cycle the system most times as I could not wake it from hibernate mode.
I'm hoping this helps as I know I have run out of ideas of things to do. The only thing I have left to try is update the motherboard BIOS.

MSI GTX 670 Power Edition/OC max temperature?

I've had a MSI GTX 670 Power Edition/OC working great since October 2012, no problems even with the most demanding games.
But now the summer heat has come (it's 40°C in the shade) and I've been getting crashes (classic TDR, no video signal, windows reboots) when the temperature of the GPU gets to about 80°C. If I leave the case open, it never reaches that temperature and works great.
I can't find the temperature specs for this card, but the reference GTX 670 should run up to 97°C.
Is this normal? What is your maximum stable temperature?
P.S. I don't overclock, anything.
Thank you

Hi there,
the only think I could suggest is that ...
1st. do you have adequate cooling in your system..i.e. case fans etc,etc, and to ensure theres no obstruction to cooling fan on vga card, always an alternative is to install what they call an exhaust blower fan place that directly underneath your card and that will extract heat away, I had the same issue with my MSI 6570 card and as soon as I added an exhaust blower mine runs at 33oC and i'm pushing my card to the extreme and temp still stays the same... if that fail then your gpu cooling issnt running fast enough to supply adequate cool air...
I hope that will help you

Gtx 570 power edition/OC low 3dmark11 score

As you have probably read in the title, I seem to get a low score on 3dmark11, considering that this is a fairly new system (2weeks old ) I don't think that my system is bottlenecking my 570:

I've also seen that my frame rate is fairly low (18-24 fps) in 3dmark 11
And ~23 fps(according to fraps) in crysis warhead with enthusiast settings with 16xAA (according to fraps) <-- I also saw some artifacts on maybe 1/2 tree's throughout the game: White dots all over it, if you want me to post a screenshot just say so and I'll go load my save game and upload the pic

MOVED: Display driver stopped responding and has recovered. MSI GTX 670 Power Edition

This topic has been moved to Graphics Cards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=251843.0

Hey there,
Noticed that my BIOS drivers were outdated so i updated them (Z68A-GD65 G3, version: 25.8), after all the reboots i logged on my computer, started teamspeak, and while searching for the teamspeak room the driver problem happened again.
Anyway, my power supply is NOX Hummer 80 600W, model: HUM80600.
The problems started on September of this year i think? I've had this computer for almost 3 years now. I have the latest Nvidia drivers, and this still happens, i've tried downgrading, fresh installing, and nothing worked.
Graphics card: MSI GTX 670 Power Edition 2GB GDDR5 PCI-E 3.0 DirectX11, S/N: 602-V284-02SB1207063830.
I'll try it tommorow if possible.
Thank you for the attention.

[Tech Help Needed] GTX 660 Twin Frozr III 2GB SC Fan Stops Working

Hello everyone.
It's extremely rare for me to have computer issues, but this time it happened.
MSI GTX 660 Twin Frozr III 2GB SC, and here's the issue:
Whenever i turn on the computer the gpu fans spin for around 5seconds and after that they stop, for now they seem fine since i'm usually idling for the 1st 30minutes or so, but when i start playing games the gpu temperatures skyrocket to around 60-70 idling in-game and the fans just won't start working, yes the the psu cables are connected to the gpu, bla bla ( duh ). i've had the gpu for around 2years and it worked fine but all of a "sudden" the fans just seem to not work and it starts getting very high temperatures, i've read someone complaining about the same issue and he was told to replace his gpu bios with some uefi bios and he said that the uefi update solved his fan issues which were the same as mine.
Now my problem is, i've never done that "Bios Flashing" and things like that and i don't know if my Board is compatible. If it worked for that person then it should work for me since the symptoms are literally the same. I've tried uninstalling the gpu drivers completely and installed again, the issue still persists.
If it's of any reference i own the following setup:
MB : ROG Asus Crosshair IV Formula
CPU : AMD Phenom II X6 1090T BE
GPU : MSI GTX 660 Twin Frozr III 2GB SC
RAM : 2x4GB G.Skill Ripjaw X 1600Mhz
PSU: Corsair GS 700 Gaming Series ( yes its more than enough and good enough )
I've literally had no problems whatsoever with my system for a few years now, and just like that the fans don't want to work, i can play games and what not, but at around 70ºC with no fans running ..... i've tried using MSI Afterburner to boost the fan speed, the fan speed setting gets set but the rpm stays at 0. i also made it to run on windows start and its still at 0 RPM.
Will the uefi bios solve my problem like it did to the other person with the exact same issue?
Thank you for your time spent reading, hopefully it will be solved.

Still no reply after 2 days, impressive support right there ... every other post that came after got replied ...
Anyway, if its also relevant about my issue :
- Fans briefly spin after i press the power button to turn on my computer and stop right after around 3-5s and never spin again until i shutdown and power on again for the same brief spin.
- If i force the fans on Afterburner to 90% or above ( 100% ) they spin and make unsupportable noise.
Also if its of any relevance :
N660 TF 2GD5/OC
S/N: 602 - V287 - 050B1302044857
At least provide me with the most up-to-date uefi/gop vbios or whatever that is, to see if it fixes my problem, otherwise recommend me a substitute cooling system that i can use ( a good one, not 3rd rated ) to replace the stock cooling in this because i don't have the money to get another card, and if i get one it won't be from msi for sure.
Very dissapointed.
