GTX 660 TI with 990fxa-gd80v2 3 way sli issue

Just added a third video card and 1200w PSU to my rig. The card shows up as "windows generic display adapter" (or some verbage similar to that. I wiped the Nvidia drivers and re-installed the latest release. The card still doesn't work (says it needs driver update, when you try to update - it says it is up to date.) When the PC reboots after the driver update, it shuts off video display after the Windows 8 splash screen. I have to power off and restart. After the third restart, it goes into windows repair mode. It tries to roll back to a previous version and then cannot complete the task. I continue to Windows and it goes all the way through. The card still doesn't show and SLI settings are reverted to defaults and not saved. Are there BIOS settings for 3 way SLI that need to be changed? It worked fine with 2 way. Do I need to update a driver for the PCI controller? Clear CMOS? Any help or ideas appreciated. Hoping to not have to do a re-install of Windows 8.
Parts list -
MSI 990FXA-gd80v2
PNY GTX 660 TI (3)
Ultra X4 1200w PSU
AMD FX-8350
G.Skill Sniper 32gb 1866
Intel 520 180gb SSD
2 TB Segate HDD
Kingston 128bg SSD
Alienware/Dell water cooler

New build from Win 7 to Win 8. It was fine with 2 way and my old PSU. When I would 3Dmark the rig, it would restart after the combined test - So I figured the PSU was getting sketchy (everything but the PSU and case was new at this point.) So, in other words - Win 8 with 2-way with old PSU was ok. Win 8 with 3-way and new PSU is not working yet.

990fxa-gd80v2 cpu voltage stability issues

I have had this board now for 2 mths and have noticed a problem with the cpu voltage. It fluctuates alot ie: set at a voltage it will fluctuate +/- .03-.06 volts. The most significant and generally highest fluctuation is at load where it will drop down usually .05 volts consistently. This greatly affects any adjustments one would make for OC as the maximum voltage for my AMD FX 8350 is 1.55v.
Point being: Is there anything in the works where MSI is addressing this issue. Is there a solution? or is this just a flaw we are meant to accept.
I just want to know that something is being done. I chose MSI for this motherboard because all my previous MoBo ran flawlessly.

It is not looking good. I hope I am wrong but I get the feeling from email response others have gotten that they may be moving on and these issues are a lost cause. Again I HOPE I AM WRONG.
On the plus side I have managed to get 4.6 easily stable and no real issues with the particular setups I use so Guess I can bide my time.

NF980-G65 No 3 way SLI.

I had 2 GTX 480 and a GT240. My motherboard says 16x 16x 0x or 16x 8x 8x. I can run the GTX 480s in the first two slots for 16x. I can also run a GTX 480 in the first slot at 16x and 3 slot at 8X for better cooling then I add a GT240 in the second slot for physic and had 16x 8x and 8x worked perfect just like it says. But I bought a third GTX 480 and with all three in The first two slots only work. no triple SLI.It says in the manual to set it to 16x 8x 8x, but I cant find any setting to do that.Please help?I looked for another motherboard for AMD and INTEL and cant find and new supported processor motherboards that support triple Nvidia SLI at triple 16x 0r 16x 8x 8x.The support information for my motherboard is out dated it only shows support up to a GTX 285s but it does support GTX 480.Which it does.

I am running 3 way SLI w/285 gtx. I notice the front panel connectors (power on, etc) block the double wide
285 gtx on the MOBO. If the bottom 3-way sli card is pressed in firmly, works for awhile but later, it comes back out and you wind up with a 3 way sli connnector (the red ight on the GTX tells you but who is staring at the rear of their computer?)
Whenthis happens "on the fly", two card are operable. but
i suppose you could fry your card liek that because my computer would turn up black
screen during a game (about 5 -8 minutes). The top card was very very hot to the touch.
So tihs mean these thing are in the wong place., i am lookng for a fix or I am going to have to mod the mobo plugs before my video cards and possibly other hardware get ruined.
I first noticed becase the 3rd card was not level with the others. I am looking for solution but I know I am going to have to do the mod the front panel connector.(JFP1 & JFP@2).

Z77A-G43 PCIe 3.0 problem with GTX 660

Hello,
I have built a new computer with the components described above.
There is no video signal output from my GTX 660 when it's connected to the PCIe 3.0.
It's OK when the GTX 660 is connected to the PCIe 2.0.
When GTX 660is connected to PCIe 3.0 there is no signal output even from the onboard video card.
That's mean I don't see bios display or Windows, it's not a windows 7 problem.
Sometimes after connected GTX 660 to the PCIe 3.0, the bios stop and start few times the computer, always without video signal anywhere.
Then It's seems that Windows 7 boot (without display), but there is no sound when Windows 7 is loaded or when I quit Windows 7 (I enter blindly my password, then do Alt-F4 and enter , and Computer stop).
I try to reset CMOS, setting in the bios PEG or IGD but nothing good.
The bios version was 2.8, I flash it to E7758IMS.293 but same problem.
This GTX 660 is a PCIe 3.0 compliant !
Any idea ?
Thx for your help

You don't need PCI-E 3.0 for GTX 660.
The PCI-E 2.0 bandwidth is more than enough for your GPU.

MSI GTX 660 OC compatibility problem with MB

I recently got the MSI GeForce GTX 660 OC TwinFrozr III 2GB DDR5 192-bit and Gigabyte GA-B75-D3V.
Problem is: when I start the computer, the monitor doesn't show anything, it's like it's on stand-by. I then connected the GTX 660 to another computer with a pci-e 2.0 motherboard and worked fine (didn't install drivers, just started the computer and saw that it shows stuff on the monitor). I then connected another GPU (Gigabyte GT 420) to my new pc and worked fine aswell (showed stuff on the monitor).
My question is: is there a compatibility problem between the gpu and the motherboard? Do I need to make a bios upgrade?
Thank you for your help!

'No Signal' -- GTX 660 ti not working with a H-Joshua-H61-uATX motherboard

Hi,
I have a HP pg 2302eam with an updated 550w PSU ready to run a gtx 660 ti GPU. However, I only get 'no signal' on my monitor.
As far as I'm aware, with the updated PSU, the PC should be fine to run the card.
Would there be a compatibilty issue with my motherboard? Or is there something I can do with my BIOS to help resolve this issue?
I see no options in the current (and latest v8) BIOS to disable the integrated graphics and run the new GPU from the pci slot.
What could cause this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Punchpidge
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Have heard, if you have a UEFI Bios, you have enter BIOS, disable secure boot and enable legacy boot in order to enable the new video card. All things equal, this is assuming no power supply issues.
Not sure what OS you are using and could not find the model number you indicated in your post.
Lastly, it is good to uninstall current video drivers, shut down, install new card, then install new drivers upon successful reboot into the operating system.

BlackScreen and System Reboot with MSI GTX 660 OC TF

Please Svet, or another adm/technnical supporter, I need help!
I have a MSI GTX 660 2gb/ddr5 TF OC s/n 602-V287-04SB1208202249.
I'm having some issues in some games (like Batman Arkham City, Dead Island, Mirror's Edge, Tomb Raider 2013): A few moments after I start to play I just receive a blackscreen, sound bug (like a CD scratched) and the pc reboots.
I already uninstalled the driver with driver sweeper (not in safe mode), reinstalled, installed a old driver and the issue continues. I updated the bios to the NV287MH211 bios. Not helped. I formatted my system too.
I bought another psu, the problem persists.
My system is:
Intel Core i5 3570k 3.4~3.8ghz
Board Gigavyte GA-Z77X-D3H v1.0 (F16 bios)
8gb ram ddr3 kingstom 1333mhz
Psu OCZ ZT550w
Windows 7 64bit
I have a Zotac GTX 460, I tested him and have no problem with the games.
I have no idea what to do anymore.
I will attach a screenshot from bluescreen viewer, the error that appears when I can finish the game without system reboot (ctrl+alt+del) and a log from gpu-z with the moment of the crash.
Thank you for the help, and sorry for my english.
Blue Screen viewer:
Batman crash error:
Gpu-z log:
http://www.mediafire.com/view/?ywskyvjfwyj3ub3
Edit:
I tested Borderlands 2 and after few minutes playing the blackscreen happened, then I just hit ctrl+alt+del, the screen goes white and I listen the sound of disconnected hardware. NVidia Kernel mode sttoped work. I also installed NVidia 320.00 beta driver without solution to the problem.
Apparently, this issue only happens when I play some games that need more gpu use. I'm not sure about this.

GTX 660 with CC 2014

Hello,
I have updated Premiere to CC 2014, and now I can't use GPU acceleration because Premiere says my GTX 660 isn't certified.
Considering I bought my graphics card less than 2 months ago, it is slightly annoying, especially since I was looking forward to the new features of CC 2014.
Is there any chance to see the 660 certified in the near future?
Thanks,
Cédric.

I "solved" the problem by adding my card model to the cuda_supported_cards.txt and it worked.
I must say it's strange since my card wasn't in that file for the previous version of CC, but Premiere didn't complain back then.

Can I run a GTX 780 Lightning 3-way SLI with 2 Stock 780s?

Hello all, quick question.
I currently have 2 of the release date GTX 780s from MSI running in SLI. Unfortunately, it's hard to find the original cards now (and if you do, they are pretty expensive).
I got a 4k monitor a while ago and i came across a cheap 780 lightning so i purchased it. I did a quick check on MSI's website and for some reason it says N/A next to 3-way sli for this card even though when comparing it to the stock card which says it does support 3-way SLI. Does anyone know why? The only difference between this card and my others is a slightly higher core clock/boost speed. I figured adding it SLI would be easy. Any ideas?
This post won't let me insert links but the "Stock" card i am referring to is the MSI N780-3GD5 on their website, and the N780 Lightning.
Thanks guys!

Quote from: badboy2k on 01-December-14, 11:25:43
as long as they are using the same GPU (GTX780) and have a equal frame buffer size on all 3 cards it should work in triple SLI as long as you have a good enougth power supply and your board supports 3 way SLI too!
Thanks! I appreciate it.
I have a 1300W power supply, and I just purchased a new MSI X79A-GD45 Plus motherboard. I believe this one supports 3-way SLI.

Disappointing MSI GTX 660 TF3 clock speeds / voltage, not on par with others

Hi,
I wanted to ask why is there suck a disperency between my GTX 660 TF3 speeds/voltage compared to other people.
My max boost clock is 1123.5 whereas most references i found are above 1150/60+ in average
My max voltage under full load in GPU-Z is 1.162 whereas others got 1.175
Is it linked to my poor ASIC of 68.8% ?
Currently disappointed because i thought that by buying an MSI card (premium priced in my country) i would got better clocks or at least clocks in the average range of other users. I guess i'm just unlucky, but being a bit burnt now, i think i'll pass and try another brand next time.
That said, is it normal that my card doesnt even reach a voltage of 1.175 under full load ???
Thanks in advance for your reply, and merry christmas anyways.

Quote from: zigzagzap on 26-December-12, 05:30:34
Thank you for the reply, but talking to me about overclock is a bit off-topic dont you think?
not really as the boost clock is an automatic overclock (the boost clock is down to the GPU as well, some will hit the target of 1150MHz some wont)!
Quote from: zigzagzap on 26-December-12, 05:30:34
Under stock presets (no-overclock-at-all), all of them have cards that got a 1.175 voltage under full load whereas mine is only 1.162
Even when you look at reviews on internet, you can see that they list 1.175v as STOCK voltages under full load in their default specs sheet for that MSI card.
All in all, gotta ask again, is it normal for my card to not run at 1.175v on stock presets? Yes/no?
like i said it depends on the individual GPU! most will run at 1.175V under load normally but some wont as its very random as no 2 are identical and the voltage the core asks for is very random from sample core to sample core!
its all luck of the draw..... <--- seen some referance cards that will out perform full custom ones.
if you not satisfied >>How to contact MSI.<< contact them and if you wan't a replacement then they will tell you how to go about it! <--- no expected voltages or clock speeds are ever fully garenteed as the newer GPU's are all over the place.

Q on GTX 660 not working in PremPro CS6 also SpeedGrade, heard of tab selection

I have a newly configured PC with a new GTX 660 video card with a new load of Premiere Pro and can not operate Premiere correctly or load Tiffen Dfx .....so I thought I had purchsed a higher performance card than those recommended ....also I've heard there was a Playback tab selection for utilizing non-offical video cards...Edit>Preferences>Playback I don't see anything to re-config...Thanks from a flustered Barry

The feature you're talking about won't be available until the new version comes out June 17th. For now, you will need to hack the file the old way to get CUDA acceleration working.

MacPro randomly shuts down after upgrading to GTX 660

So I've had the EVGA GTX 285 mac edition in my MacPro 3,1 for a while now and decided to upgrade to the EVGA GTX 660 because I wanted a card that would provide more power for my 3d work and allow more gaming potential when I'm not working. After the upgrade I have been experiencing random shut downs. At first I thought it was during heavy loads (from my 3d software) but yesterday a shut down occured when I was just typing up an email with hardly anything running in the background. I've tried to diagnose the problem but to no avail. I believe the power supply is enough because the older card uses 2 of the power ports inside the MacPro while this new card uses just one. It's not overheating because everything runs at around 30C - 50C (rarely spiking to 58C.) Anyone know what could be the cause? I am working on my Windows partition by the way.

How interesting...we've noticed the same thing on 3 different occasions as recently as this a.m.. My wife was online for school, and the screen suddenly went "almost" black. There was nothing to do but shut down and turn it back on.
In 3 years since we've had this iMac, and running on 10.4, we never had this problem, so we're also hoping the community out there has some input on this issue.
Thanks!

MSi GTX 660 2GD5/OC randomly stops outputting video.

While playing Star Trek Online and Champions Online, this graphics card will randomly stop outputting video with no warning. It has also crashed Windows completely on three of these occasions. The card never recovers and the only way to fix it is a hard reset. This problem has persisted over five different iterations of nVidia's drivers, both beta and WHQL.
I've already sent this card in for service to correct this problem and, upon receiving it from MSi's service center yesterday, encountered the same problem again in both games. Both times I installed it into my P67A-GD65 motherboard, I made sure the video drivers from my previous dedicated GPU and integrated HD 4000 were completely uninstalled via Control Panel and Guru3D's Driver Sweeper program.
Is there anyone here who's had similar experiences and can offer some troubleshooting advice? I've already edited my Windows 7 registry to manually adjust the frame time out and recovery period, to no effect.

List full system specifications, see >>Posting Guide<<
2 cards to crash by the same way, probably is not video card problem but something else in your PC
Power Supply: Kingwin Maximum Power ABD-850MM 850W
Motherboard: MSi P67A-GD65 LGA1155
Processor: Intel Core i7-3770K @ 3.5 GHz
RAM: Corsair 4 GB DDR3 @ 1600 MHz
I highly doubt it was my system, because I had a PowerColor AMD Radeon HD 7850 in the same PCI-e slot that worked flawlessly at maximum clock. The MSi GTX 660 crashed in both PCI-e slots at factory stock speeds.
