GTX980 Gaming 4G

Hi, just bought that card and there are software with it called:
MSI Gaming APP and MSI Fan Control.
Now, if i wanna use the Afterburner instead, how do i make the same easy settings as the MSI Gaming APP gives me?
I dont know 100% what core settings it gives on each, but, it's more easy to use than the Afterburner, but, i'll be missing the log and ingame OSD i can have from Afterburner.
Can someone please help me with how to set Afterburner to same 3 options?

Hi
Here are the clocks of the card:
Boost Clock / Base Clock
1317 MHz / 1216 MHz (OC Mode)
1291 MHz / 1190 MHz (Gaming Mode)
1216 MHz / 1127 MHz (Silent Mode)
Where Gaming Mode is default (Afterburner would show +0 on GPU Clock).
To get Silent mode, simply put -63 on GPU clock and there you have Silent clocks (roughly).
OC Mode, do +26 and should be OK too (and behave as OC Mode).
So from my calculations (using Base Clocks shown on the specification of the card):
OC Mode +26
Default/Gaming mode +0
Silent Mode -63
This is only theorotical calculations. If you want exact numbers..
Use Gaming App first:
Gaming Mode -> GPUz + Afterburner screenshot while idle (make sure to CLOSE everything that might use GPU). Then screenshot while load.
Silent Mode -> Same as above: idle+load screenshot from afterburner+gpuz.
OC Mode ->Same as above. Make sure to name each screenshot so you know what was used *Gaming App or Manual with Afterburner?*
Then set Gaming Mode in Gaming App, uninstall it and use Afterburner.
Obviously default (Gaming Mode) should be +0 and show same/very close numbers to what was shown with Gaming App on Gaming Mode
Silent Mode: put -63 and take screenshot while idle. Then put to load. If numbers are higher than with Gaming App, put -65 (depending how far away it is from same number) or other way around.
OC Mode: do the same, but instead of -, do +.
Hope that helps

MSI GTX980 Gaming sometimes not recognized by MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC

I have been experiencing a very odd problem with my new hardware.
Hardware
Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790
CPU-cooler: Scythe Mugen 4
RAM: G.Skill RipjawsZ F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH
Videocard: MSI GeForce GTX 980 4GB GAMING 4G
PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold
SSD: Crucial M550 2,5" 1TB
Monitor#1: LG 34UM95-P
Monitor #2: Eizo Foris FG2421
OS: Windows 7 Professional
Issue description
The thing is that with 2 monitors connected the videocard is not recognized on a cold boot, but boots perfectly most of the time after a restart. In some cases a restart doesn't do the trick. I have even seen a couple of times that the monitor shows that windows starts and then the monitor loses the signal from the videocard before I can see the desktop (rare). With just 1 monitor attached the videocard is recognized. Als the IGP works fine, it's just the videocard that doesn't seem to be recognized when 2 monitors are connected (all combinations of DP, HDMI and DVI). When the computer has booted after one or more restarts and the videocard is recognized the computer works flawlessly, no problems whatever I do with it (desktop work, stressing hardware, playing games, etc.). Not a single sign of instability.
It's just the cold boot and sometimes the soft boot or restart that causes the videocard to not being recognized with 2 monitors connected.
What makes it really weird to me is that when the computer goes into sleep mode I can wake it up normally within say 10 minutes. But if I wait for let's say an hour the videocard is not transmitting a signal through the videocard.
When IGP is enabled the computer boots and windows loads normally (I hear the sound of the Windows login), although the monitors stay black when connected to the videocard. Then switching the connectors from the videocard to the motherboard shows me a normal Windows login screen, but the videocard is not visible in the device list. When the IGP is disabled to bootup sequence just hangs until a restart works and the computer boots normally with the videocard getting recognized and working properly.
Click sounds
I noticed the motherboard makes 4 click sounds when booting, like relays flipping. I think it has to to with distributing power to al the components, since it looks like components respond to the click by turning led lights on. But I have to say I've never come across a motherboard before that makes click sounds. Is this normal?
Tried fixes
- Replaced the RAM with 100% working RAM from my other computer (Corsair Vengeance LP CML8GX3M2A1600C9) -> problem persists
- Disabed XMP -> problem persists
- Replaced the PSU with another one (Cooler Master V550 Semi-Modular) -> problem persists
- Reinstalled the videocard physically -> problem persists
- Tried several combinations of connecting the 2 monitors to the videocard (all DP ports, HDMI and DVI) -> problem persists
- Replaced the videocard with a MSI GTX970 Gaming (connected with 1xDP and 1xHDMI) -> problem persists
Conclusions so far
The cause can be found in the videocard or motherboard (probably BIOS issue).
Who can shed some light on this issue?

Try all PCIE slots no luck? Does the black screen always happen on one certain monitor or both?
I tried both the first and the second PCIe slot. No difference except for the fact that in the second slot the card only works at x8 bandwidth.

BTW - Did anybody try to remove the wifi module from the board and then test?
I didn't install the wifi module in the first place.
UPDATE
I returned the motherboard to the webshop I bought it from and sent my cpu, ram, psu and videocard (GTX980) with it so they could test it. They found out that the videocard is the problem. So now I have to send the videocard to the webshop it bought that from. However, I am suspecting that it's just a VBIOS problem and not some fault in the hardware itself. On the other hand, it would be very strange that MSI would release a videocard that cannot work with one of their own top motherboards, wouldn't it?

MSI GTX980 Gaming 4G Fan issue

Hi all.
I read the thread about the GTX970 fan issue. I have the same issue on a brand new GTX980. First fan does not spin, while second fan is running at 90%. I saw the post about the sticker causing the issue. There was a sticker on my GTX980 which was removed carefully.
However, when I launch the MSI VGA Fan Control app it tells me they are at 0%/90% and they are set to auto. If I change this to 30%/30% the first fan immediately kicks on and they run together (although I can tell no audible difference).
Any thoughts? I do not have to manually touch the fan and when I set the fan app back to auto the 2nd fan is right back at 90%. I do not mind some fan action while playing but 90% fan 24/7 is not an option.
Best to RMA it or what? I have tried all sorts of things, it appears that the Afterburner app does not see the 2nd fan. When gaming the 1st fan kicks in like it should and runs at about 50%.
Thanks.

I RMA'd the card and will be looking at different manufacturers now.
Ok, as no MSI card is in question anymore:

GTX980 gaming afterburner vs msi fan controller.

I noticed that the first fan are under the control of the custom fan profile from afterburner but the second one are under the control of the bios. Is there any way to have in afterburner the possibility to applied a custom fan profile for that second fan ?

^ Lol, then why MSI put this feature on these cards including 980 Gaming ? If their software, afterburner, doesnt have an update to fix this issue ?!
Also, i know that one fan for 980 gaming is controlled by gpu temp, and the other fan by vrm temps.

GTX980 gaming 4G - Display Ports HELP ME PLEASE!!! so stressed

Hi
today I bought this video card and 3x Benq XL2430T monitors, nearly $2500 AU dollars worth of gear
and all i can do is get 1 friggin screen working via the DVI
I am running drivers 344.80
I have installed Benq monitor drivers
ALL the monitors show as all connected in windows Device manager and in NCP, 1 with the DVI, and 2x on Display Ports. when I try to activate the monitors plugged into the DPs via RIGHT CLICK on desktop and CHANGE RESOLUTION... I select one of the monitors on the display port and try to tell windows to extend desktop onto them, it reports "unable to save display settings" and the resolution/orientation are greyed out. if i boot with all connected as described i don't get any displays working, will only ever get 1x display of the desktop via DVI if booted with nothing plugged into DP's.
this is so stressing... not a nice way to start Holidays :(
can anyone help me out here??
I could get triples going on my old GTX590 using different monitors... i buy latest and greatest card and monitors and its all for POOH!!! ARGH!!!

HI Nichrome
thanks for your reply....
yes the BIOS is the latest... did it tonight (just about had a nervous breakdown in the process )
i don't mean to be ignorant but whats the OC got to do with a connection between a monitor and a video card got to do with anything ??
i have done numerous clean installs of numerous different driver versions the ones supplied with the card, 344.75 & 344.16 & lastly the supposed HOTFIX 344.80's
tried a HDMI cable for giggles and it works fine (had DVI & HDMI going simultaneously) so its only the DP's that appear to not function properly (which i need as i want to run triples at 144mhz). i tested all monitors separately via DVI and they all work fine. the Card is working fine if using the DVI or HDMI ports. the issue is specifically all of the DISPLAY PORTS
if i use a DP to DVI adapter do you think that would make a difference?

GTX980 gaming 4g vbios nv317mh.113 ?

Is one of you update to nv317mh.113 ? If so any improvement ?

I think it might just fix some issues, if you don't have any problem with your card, then don't need to update to 113.

Latest BIOS for MSi GTX980 Gaming 4G

Hi
as some others have done and to try and solve the no display ports working issue.
this is the bios reported via GPUZ = 84.04.28.00.F6
uploaded here https://mega.co.nz/#!JBZznaDa!aRhWJ-CQqwvsrDTYieLWcmg-5gjiNVFusMeBQ95H6FY
could you please advise if its the latest and supply a link to the latest BIOS and instruction on how to install, thanks.

Hi Svet,
As advised by MSI live update I've upgraded from 143 to 113 bios.
Seems to have solved the problem of not having a signal to my 4K monitor through DP on boot.
Also no problems so far...
I've read several posts about this being the wrong bios for my serial #.
My serial is 602-V317-15SB.....
Can you please confirm that I have the correct bios?
Thanks!

After installing MSI GTX980 Video Card PC won't shutdown completely (Windows 7 S

Hi all,
I'm posting this here because it started post video card install.
After installing a new MSI GTX980 Gaming video card install into my Windows 7 PC it won't shut down completely, monitor and keyboards all turn off but fans keep spinning and LED light on vid card also remains on.
It's also happening in safe mode, it also won't shut down from login screen, a Restart however works fine.
Didn't have problem with previous card EVGA GTX780.
Motherboard is a Z77 AsRock Extreme 9 with latest bios (1.90).
Have reset Bios to defaults and updated Windows
Using latest Nvidia Drivers 344.16
Unfortunately can't test with other card as I no longer have it.
Given it's happening in SafeMode I'm inclined to think it more hardware related then software.
Not sure what else to try.
Other than the above the new video card has been running flawless.
Thanks

Thanks for reply it appears the problem isn't related to new card thankfully as I tried another vid card and onboard vid and problem persisted.
Sleep doesn't work either, actually both the sleep and hibernate options are greyed out in Windows.
I scanned PC for malware and restored it to last know working point, no idea whats happened but I suppose I won't know outright if its software or hardware without a clean install.
Specs:
AsRock Z77 Extreme 9 motherboard
Corsair HX PSU
MSI GTX980 Gaming Vid card
OSZ 256 SSD
8GB RAM 2133Mhz

Did you try to unplug your video card and see if the problem remains? Does sleep(S3) mode work fine? What's your specs?

MSI X99S Gaming 7 Won't Boot

Hi -
I just recently purchased an X99S motherboard. I put it all together, and all was fine for about 24 hours. I updated the BIOS and then started running a defrag and left the machine on while I went to work. When I got home, the machine was off. It's not responding to the power button the board or on my case. If I turn the power off on my PSU and turn it back on and hit the power switch, I get a split second flash of lights and then nothing. I initially thought that it was my power supply so I bought a new one. I got that installed and same thing. One thing to note is that the MSI LED up by the 24 pin connector is on red. I've already tried the secondary BIOS and I have removed all of the memory except the DIMM in Slot 7. I haven't yet tried to remove the board from the case yet and tried it on a non conductive surface. I just wanted to get some thoughts on that debug LED that is currently on. I believe the motherboard has just died, but wanted to run it by someone first.
Here are my specs:
Board: MSI X99S Gaming 7
Bios: Version 14.7
VGA: MSI GTX980 Gaming
PSU: EVGA 1000 Watt G2
CPU: Intel Core i7-5930K 3.5GHz
MEM: Corsair Vengeance 2666 4x4gb CMK16GX4M4A2666C16
HDD: PNY 256GB SSD
COOLER: Corsair CWCH60 Water Cooler
OC: None
OS: Windows 8.1 64bit

Take it out of the case, place on non conductive surface (wooden table, motherboard box) and run it then. Also try with single RAM stick in every RAM slot.
Try clearing CMOS >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Also make sure all power connectors are properly fitted in.
What way did you update the BIOS? Also was it successful?

GTX 980 Gaming? Availabilty?

Anybody know when MSI's GTX980 Gaming will be available in the States? Amazon, Fry's, Newegg, no one seems to have it, I have seen a few 970 Gamings, but no 980s.

GTX980 SLI fan vs fan controller info.

I received my GTX980 Gaming 4G (2). I use the fan controller software but i wonder how to adjust the fan speed of each individually when i am in SLI ? So far so good. The cards gave me more performance then the EVGA GTX780TI. The cooling are better compare to EVGA cooling solution. A Happy guy
note : I pull off that sticker on the fan upward and peoples have to be careful of not pushing on the fan when you peel off that sticker or you will break the fan mechanic.

I've also just received my GTX980 gaming 4G (also in SLI). Freaking amazing!!
The only problem that I have with one of my cards is the MOSFT fan on that card does not shutdown when all the other do. PSTLOUIS, does all your fans turn off, once you have booted into windows?
NOTE: I have tested the card in which both fans turn off and it works on it's own. When I test the second card, I've noticed that the fans still doesn't shut/turn off.

Gaming 9 ACK board with many problems

Gaming 9 ACK.
Board worked flawlessly for three months with a 5960X processor, quad channel G.Skill 3.33 memory ( 16gb- 4x4 ) and four msi GTX980 gaming in quad sli mode.
Turned off the pc last night, and today, upon start the pc did not boot.
04-55-60-04 and all over again.
Memory modules are populated in slots 1-3-5-7. After several try and error efforts, slot 7 is blocking the system from booting. All four modules checked and are fine.
Removed module in slot 7 and booted. No problem there.
After entering windows 7 environment, a second even bigger surprise surfaced.
NO SLI. Device manager sees only gtx980 in slot 1 and nothing else.
New tests.
Only pci-e slot 1 works. All others are non functional.
So I am with an 8000$ pc, which works with 12gb triple channel memory and one VGA.
Obviously motherboard has gone south.
What now ???

RMA the motherboard!
if that doesn't fix the issue your CPU has gone south as both memory and the Graphics are tied to it (CPU has the Memory Controller and the PCI-E Lanes) so its suspect too here!
may be worth RMAing both!

Msi x99 gaming 9 ack problems

ok got my new msi x99 gaming 9 ack with i7 5930k and g.skill 2400 ram
got my corsair ax1200i
so my problems i have been working on this all night near enough but today we have progress.
so problem is when i put ram in slot 1 would not post debug 04/55/60 no keyboard or signal to monitor. so i have finally got it working and got into the bios by put just one stick in slot 5. tried all 4 sticks in slot 5 but one failed at 6f so i think now one stick is faulty. but back to main problem with slot one.
once i had it booting up i switched off system and added 1 stick in slot one.
and it would not post debug 04/55/60.
so do i ram it or do you think bios update will fix this problem thanks in advance

Last night the exact same problem occurred to my Gaming 9 ACK.
