GTX 970 HDMI Port

Hi Guys,
i'm wondering if the newly announced GTX970 from MSI has an HDMI 2.0 or HDMI 1.4a Port.
The MSI Website states the latter, although the 'reference' model as well as some custom cards from other manufacturers having a HDMI 2.0 connection would suppose it is 2.0. I checked some German stores (since I live in Germany) and they either don't specificate the HDMI version at all or say 2.0.
I think this is rather important, because having a 1.4 port would mean only one port (the DP) would support 4k@60Hz, let alone GSync
Does anyone have some more information on this? Thank you!

the GTX 980 and GTX 970 both have HDMI 2.0 ports as that's what they use by the NVIDIA spec for it so it should be that as it will be to spec!
Someone should contact the people responsible for the product web page and get that updated as soon as possible. I have been on many forums where members are avoiding the MSI card for that reason alone and are ordering EVGA cards instead even though they are louder and have a possible coil whine issue.

Msi gtx 980/970 HDMI port only 1.4a?

Should i cancel my GTX970 order because every other board partner and even reference cards have HDMI 2.0?
Whats going on?

I've contacted MSI regarding this. Seems like an error since they haven't said that it is 1.4a, instead they've forwarded this to the right department.
I am not quite sure, but for HDMI 2.0 you also need the right HDMI cable

GTX 970 4G screen flicker/black out[Solved!]

My new GTX 970 4G is causing my display to intermittently flicker as well as going completely black. Sometimes it stays black until I toggle the display input. Other times everything seems to work fine for a while. I was able to play Bioshock Infinite for a couple hours with no problem, but as soon as I quit the game it started again. I'm trying to determine if I have a lemon or a software/hardware compatibility issue.
Youtube link of problem:
Computer:
Asus Rampage 3 Formula mobo with latest bios
Corsair HX850W PSU
i7 950
Crucial 16g RAM
No overclock on my setup
Previously using vanilla GTX 580
Steps I've tried to fix: Used both DVI ports on card, plus HDMI. Nvidia drivers 334.60 and .16, scrubbed previous drivers before installing. Changed PCIE slots on mobo.

Ok, I'll post some more info and let's see if anything lines up.
System
i5-4690K
MSI GTX 970 4G Gaming
MSI Z97M Gaming
Corsair Vengeance 16GB
Corsair AX 760i (also tried HX-620 & AX-760)
Monitors Asus VE276Q via DisplayPort - AOC 22 via DVI - Panasonic 37" LCD TV via HDMI
Firstly I noticed the ASUS screen would display a corrupt image, see picture below.
But it would only do it on the ASUS screen, the other two screens would display correctly. If I unplugged or cycled the inputs on the ASUS screen, all screens would drop sync and system would hang. If I waited a few mins I would hear the hardware disconnect sound by windows, but the computer would need a reset to work correctly again.
Plugged in via Dvi or HDMI I would get the same flicker that in the OP's video, but only on the ASUS screen.
Got new cables, didn't fix anything. Am typing this out on the pc in question as we speak, it's been stable last 3 days running a Dell 22" via DisplayPort with AOC & Panasonic still connected also.
Tested without GPU , problem doesn't appear. Looks like these GTX 970's don't like to play with Asus VE27** monitors.

MSI GTX 970 not being detected on first PCI-E 3.0 slot of MSI Gaming 5 motherboa

Hi guys.
So I recently got myself a new build and some of the components include a MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G GPU and a MSI Gaming 5 mobo. When installing the GPU to the motherboard I found that for some reason nothing was being displayed on the screen. The screen wouldn't display a no signal message but it would stay black when I booted the PC up. However, when I plugged the GPU into the 2nd PCI-E 3.0 slot it would work and display on the screen. I read on a Tom's Hardware thread of someone with a similar problem and it was recommended to him to check his CPU for bent pins and he later confirmed that was the problem. I have tried the same, but as far as I can tell all of the pins were in their natural state and couldn't find any bent ones.
But I also discovered something else which really started to confuse me... When I plug in my old GPU (a Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti) into the first PCI-E 3.0 slot, it would work normally?! Why would it work fine with my GTX 560 but not my GTX 970?? I have tried everything. Even stripping the pc down to the most basic parts on a wooden surface and tested everything but it's still the same problem. I have also made sure that the display setting in the BIOS is set to PEG, but it would still not display anything when the GTX 970 is in the first slot, but if I plug the HDMI cable directly into my motherboard, even with the GTX 970 installed on the first slot, it would display normally. Also, in my BIOS it doesn't even detect anything being in the first PCI-E 3.0 slot in the Board Explorer menu. But when I installed it in the 2nd PCI-E 3.0 slot the Board Explorer menu would recognize it, but would say it's running at x8 and not x16. Should I be worried about this?
My full setup:
MSI Gaming 5 Motherboard
Intel i7 4790K
MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
Kingston HyperX 1333Mhz 8Gb (2x4Gb)
Corsair RM 750 PSU
Corsair H80i CPU cooler
Any advice from you guys on what to do or what the problem could be would be greatly appreciated!

remove power cord from the PSU and do >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
also reseat the card into PCI-E slot 1 and make sure its fill very well into the slot

" Screen Tearing" with EVGA GTX 970

Hi everyone,
when watching clips with movement or moving windows on windows somewhere else I get the "tearing effect" on my monitor. Meaning I see vertical lines while movement on my monitors, mainly in the middle. I do not see this line in PP CC 2014.
I am running the following hardware:
EVGA GTX 970 FTW Acx 2.0
Monitor 1: EIZO FS 2333, 60 Hz, HDMI
Monitor 2: quite old Acer on 1.600 x 1200, 60 Hz, DVI
Windows 7 professional 64 bit
latest Nvidia drivers
latest version of PP CC 2014
latest version of EVGA Precision X 16
I've heard about a view possible solution:
- activation V-Sync on Nvidia drivers (problem is monitor and graphic card are waiting for each other, monitor Hz will be downgraded)
- lowering Hz value under windows for monitors
- updating drivers (I did)
- Installing latest directX drivers? Do I need this?
I am wondering if the GTX 970 is to fast my old Acer monitor? Maybe the EIZO can handle 60 Hz, the Acer not? Can that be a problem?
My GTX is slightly overclocked, nevertheless that problem has been there before OC.
Are there any windows setting, windows service settings, to fix this? Any specific BIOS or Nvidia settings required?
I'd really appreciate your help and experience.
Best,
Alex

Thx for reply.
I've tried all options. Having Vsync "adaptive" / on does slight help but not at all. Also did update DirectX, no success.
My GTX 970 come up with good results, can it still be a defect? Both monitors can manage 60 Hz, so that can't be a problem.
I will reinstall windows on the weekend, and see it that helps.

Will apple tv work with a hdmi splitter of some kind ? TV only has 2 hdmi ports and both are in use

will apple tv work with a hdmi splitter of some kind ? TV only has 2 hdmi ports and both are being used .
If splitter will work any recomendations as to best type to use

The Hatter,
I am a novice at Mac so I read all I can. From what I understand the NEC monitors I bought require Display Port for their maximum performance. The GTX 680 only has DVI outputs. Difference from what I understand is larger bandwidth with the DP.
You said I have the 4000 for CUDA. I am not all that familiar with CUDA and when I do read about it I do not understand it.
A concern I have is, that if I connect the 2 high end NEC monitors via the 5770, using it's 2 Display Ports I would have nothing connected to the 4000. Is the 4000 doing anything with nothing connected? I read where in a PC system the 2 cards would interact but in a Mac system they do not.
Bottom line, as I see it, the 4000 will not be useful at all to me, since I want a dual monitor set-up.
So far the 5870 seems the best choice, higher band width than the 5770, and it has 2 Display Ports to optimize the NEC monitors.
I'm not sure how fine I am splitting hairs, nor do I know how important those hairs are. I am just trying to set up a really fast reliable system that will mainly be used for CS6 and LR4. Those NEC monitors are supposed to be top notch.

GTX 970 PC Crashing (Started since I played GTA V and it crashed)

This all started 2 days ago while I was playing GTA V. Someone recommended installing Afterburner to look at my CPU and GPU usage while in game. Once the program was installed I was trying to understand how it worked, and I was looking at the sliders in the middle. I attempted to move one as it looked as if the changed had to be applied by the tick button, I moved it a tiny amount tot the right and suddenly my PC decided it would start to lag. So, I just put it back to where it was and left it (without pressing the tick)
I have no idea if the above is actually relevant, but I never experienced any issues before then. The next day I went onto GTA V to play it again, and after a few minutes in the middle of a car chase where a lot was going on my game exited with the error message... err_gfx_d3d_init . This was followed by text saying: Failed Initialization. Please reboot and restart the game. Try re-installing the game if this persists. I am not prepared to download the 60gb game again unless it is outlined as the problem for sure, since I have a download speed of 700kbps.
This kept happening but then it started to just shutdown my PC all together when this happened. This has now risen to the point of I had to unplug my graphics card as I would have no display while turning on my PC. My PC is now working fine with the exception of the graphics card. I have decided to try reinstalling the drivers which is something I am attempting to do right now (Update will be posted below).
PC Specs:
i7 4790k 4ghz
16gb DDR3
Asrock Z97 Pro4 Socket 1150
Corsair RM 650W
MSI GTX 970 GAMING Twin Frozr V 4GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Graphics Card
If anyone has any suggestions that will help me and the rest of the GTA V gaming community about these crashes then it would be hugely appreciated.

Hey guys,
I'm having the EXACT same error. I don't know what to do anymore. I purchased newer faster RAM to see if it was a case of overloaded forcing a shutdown of the game?
I upgraded from 8Gb to 16Gb, anyways.. It didn't work.
Essentially, game crashes, I get the "D3D_INIT" error asking me to reinstall and nothing has changed, despite the clean re-installation of drivers and the game alike I am getting really frustrated with this especially when it drops during something like a 'Heist'. I've followed countless forums posts on here and 'Tomshardware.com' and the rest. I'm currently trying to make up my mind of whether or not to return the card since it's obviously not up to the job.
I would really appreciate some help on this.
I haven't changed any settings as its factory set and OC'd (Maxwell Edition).
Current set up:
MoBo: MSi Gaming 5, Z97
CPU: Intel i7 4790k @ 4.4Ghz (Factory/MoBo Turbo)
GPU: Single MSI GTX 970, Maxwell Edition
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x8Gb @ 1866Mhz
Storage:
1x 120Gb SSD (w/ OS)
2x 2Tb HDD (Junk and the rest)
I really need help with this one guys. I went out to purchase the new GPU for the purpose of the newer gen games and it's been a massive let down!

Msi gt70 2PE integrated HD 4600 graphics HDMI port does not appear to work.

Hi guys,
I have the GT70 2PE with integrated hd 4600 graphics and with a dedicated nvidia geforce gtx 880m card. The HDMI output does not appear to work.
I'm tech savvy and cannot figure this out for the life of me. have tried nearly everything.
lets start from the low level troubleshooting done:
- plugged in the HDMI cable from a working computer that has HDMI hooked up to it. This did not make a difference from the new cable I bought for hooking up my TV to my laptop.
- booted the laptop up and do not see a duplicate screen outputting via HDMI, all my video cards in my PC's I've built prior have always shown the HDMI output as a duplicate screen when I had a monitor hooked onto a PC. This makes me believe the HDMI port may be disabled/broken as there is no HDMI output at POST. Only the laptop monitor displays output.
In Windows 8.1 I've installed the latest 4600 drivers and nvidia 880m beta drivers.(even though installing nvidia drivers shouldn't matter since I've read the HDMI output is tied to the 4600 integrated graphics chip, also if during POST the HDMI output never showed up on my TV, then installing the latest intel graphics drivers shouldn't have made a difference either, which it didnt make a difference).
I've tried disabling the integrated graphics card then re-enabling it, as noted on the intel forums. - does nothing.
what I've ruled out:
-HDMI cable issues = no issues due to other PC's and devices working with the cables. All cable tests are direct connect to the TV, no intermediary devices such as hdmi splitters etc.
-BIOS has zero options for graphics card options.
Any ideas before i RMA this laptop? I'm at a loss.

OP's problem has been solved. Also please don't resurrect and do not hijack other people's topics. Open your own one.

Unable to use 4 monitors with GTX 970

I used to run 4 monitors with my EVGA 660Ti. I recently purchased a Msi GTX 970 4GD5T OC and now my VGA only utility monitor on the DVI-I port (with included adapter) wont display when in windows. It displays the bios on boot but once windows 7 initializes it reads "no RGB input". I must be missing something simple that I did before with my 660Ti but I can't remember. Tried it with another VGA only flat screen I had and the same results.
Any help would be appreciated.

Do you mean by only DVI won't display or something? four ports on vga or some ports in onboard port? Did you check NVIDIA control panel 3D Settings--Configure surround, and right click screen resolution on desktop?

When connecting the HDMI the computer does not see the camera, which I THINK indicates the HDMI port on the computer is output only?

GTX 970 No Signal on Displayport

I just upgraded from a EVGA 660 to a GTX 970 Gaming and I can longer get a signal to my TV using the displayport-hdmi cable i had used previously. I know people have been having issues with a blank login screen on displayport, but I'm not getting a signal at all on my HDTV. I can get a signal on both HDMI and DVI (using VGA adapter) but when switching to displayport (even when already logged in) i don't get anything and the video card doesn't recognize the connection in the Nvidia control panel. I tried a clean driver install yesterday (347.09) with no luck but will attempt a VBIOS update tonight when i get home. Has anyone had a similar issue? I don't plan on using the card for multi-monitor and would rather just buy another HDMI cable than RMA but would hate to just ignore it and than have a need for displayport somewhere down the line. Hopefully it's just a software issue as displayport problems seem to be fairly widespread.
TV: Sony XBR 46HX929
Mobo: Asrock z77 Extreme6

It looks like my issue was a false alarm, tested the cable on the laptop i originally bought it for and couldn't get a signal from it either. Guess it was just a coincidence that it decides to fail the instant i connect it to a displayport issue prone video card.

How can I connect my 3gen apple tv with HDMI to my BUSH LCD32TV022HD
This does not have an HDMI port but does have:-
1) S-Video I/P,
2) Video I/P,
3) Audio Input (Left & Right)
4) Audio In jack (for VGA and DVI source)
5) DVI input
6) VGA input

Welcome to the Apple community.
The Apple TV doesn't officially support a DVI connection, however you may be able to get it to work. You will first need to check that your TV supports either 720p or 1080p as well as HDCP. If you are able to get the video working over the DVI connection, you may also require a DAC in order to connect with Apple TV's optical audio output to the TVs audio imput.
You may well wish to make sure that the DVI connection works before spending any money on a DAC..

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?
