Is it time to RMA my GTX 570/OC?

Well I think this card is on its last legs, last Fall I had issues with the card crashing until I downclocked to ref clock speeds 786/2100 --> 732/1900. the last month I've had a couple freezes and also notice video/movie playback has a stutter and sync issues! I was able to test this card on a friends PC this long weekend with the same outcome, it lags up his system!
So Should I start the RMA Process?

Looks like that. If it didn't make factory clockrates in the first place it should have been rma'ed already.
that's what I thought would happen, but was told to downclock with AB.

Geforce GTX 570 Twin Frozr III PE/OC and BSOD

Hi,
I have an MSI Geforce GTX 570 Twin Frozr III PE/OC which appears to be causing system instability (graphical corruption upon boot i.e before windows), and BSOD. It typically occurs from a cold boot resulting in BSOD after the Windows logo. This will occur 2-3 times. The system then runs stably.
I have tracked this problem down to this card when running at x16 mode in my primary PCIe slot (slot 2, x16_1) on my motherboard. It does not occur if the card is in slot 5 (x16_2) where it only runs at x8 speed (2.5Gb/s rather than 5Gb/s). This does not occur if I place a borrowed Geforce GTX 260 in the primary PCIe slot (it runs at x16 fine and causes no such system instability).
I have tried out various mobo BIOS updates, checked all my system files, updated (and rolled back) my NVIDIA drivers, and checked my memory for errors with Memtest 86+. I cannot find any updates to my video card BIOS.
Can I assume the card is faulty, or does anyone have any other possible solutions?
Spec is:
Windows 7 64-bit
Intel I5-2500K
Asus P8Z68V-Gen 3 mobo
8Gb Corsair DDR3 1800 mem

No I haven't tried it on another computer and I don't think its very likely I'll get the chance.
there is not much options then, except to RMA the card and to hope the problem to be there.

This is my experience with MSI, and their NVIDIA GTX 570 reference card.

Hello my name is James king.
and This is my experience with MSI, and their NVIDIA GTX 570 reference card.
(5/27/12) Day one. I update my driver from Beta 301.24 To WHQL 301.42. and as you would expect, it worked. so i restart and go play kerbal space program (if you haven't played this go, play it now i love it) 5 minutes later it starts artifacting, eg. textures stretching, random green spots. "ugh" so i start troubleshooting, reinstall revert and so on. later i give up and go play Portal 2, i load the game opening screen i see lots (100-250) of little flickering green dots. first instincts says its the cable, test nope. then maybe the screen, test nope. i keep testing throughout the night, to no avail.
(5/28/12) so to the internet, for help. 3 hours later nothing, but people with bad cards. at opening i call NVIDIA Tech Support, they say to call MSI so i do. 3 calls no pick up, 4th call and i get a "Support technician" who is no help, says to fill out a RMA form online. and so i do more troubleshooting for the rest of the day. and i give up, and go to bed.
(5/29/12) i fill out a RMA form, end of day i get an email from MSI that says; "Dear Valued Customer [email] your RMA is pending approval, and you will get an email within 1 weak with shipping information.
(6/1/12) shipping information, instructions, but no shipping label.
(6/4/12) i ship the card, via UPS
(6/12/12) after using the most round about route eg. it got to MSI.

(6/20/12) email from MSI, saying they shipped it and that [this] is the tracking number.
(6/26/12) end of day. i receive the card, and see the case is badly scratched. i install it in my pc and hey it worked (for now). watch some YouTube, and go to play skyrim. start up load my save and i make one step, and my pc hard freezes. "sigh" half an hour later, i give up and go play minecraft 10 minutes in, and it hard freezes. so now more troubleshooting,5 hours later no luck.
(6/27/12) i have called MSI Tech Support 2 times, when they picked up the phone they say to call customer service. 7 calls later no pickup.
and that is it MSI have sent my on the run around too long.

I've had this problem since I first built this PC towards the end of March of this year. Every time I try to play games with Direct X11 enabled I can only play for about 5 minutes before I get some repeating green spots on my screen and either the program crashes to desktop or the PC just locks up. The games that I have played on all vary, Shogun 2: Total War, The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings, RIFT, Deus Ex: Human Revolution. When I disable DX11 everything runs smoothly and nothing happens. Only when DX11 is enabled.
Here is a picture of what happens http://i.imgur.com/dee0a.jpg
I have RMA cards twice, sent it back to newegg once. It seems to be a problem with this line of cards. No matter what drivers I update, or rollback, or change, nothing seems to fix this problem.
Has anyone had similar problems, or is my only option to pretty much beg Newegg to take it back long after the refund policy and get a new card?

I have been attempting to do that. I've followed the instructions for making the USB bootable. But when ever I go to boot, it just sits at the Windows 98 screen (30 minutes was the longest I waited)
I have already used the LiveUpdate5 from MSI, it says that all my BIOS are fully up to date.

GTX 570 PROBLEM

hi guys, first time here and im at my wits end, need advice please. heres my story.
bought a gtx 570 oc twin frozr 3 power addition may 10th 2012.
card installed on a custom made pc sept 2012.
card became faulty feb 2013
hmdi port became loose, the rest of the card still worked and 100% clean.
contacted msi uk who arranged an rma, card went to Holland for what i thought was a repair,
what came back was a re-furbished card, marked scratched, card didnt work, faulty,
card issue - white lines - white squares - blue screens - reboots-
this card was tried in my wifes pc as well as mine, symptoms where the same. re furbished card
sent to replace mine , was faulty on arrival.
just to be sure, i tried my wife graphics card in my pc gtx 560 448 and my pc worked first time.
so the replacement card was mailed back to Holland msi that's where i was told to send it
from the uk, waited another 2 weeks and they sent me a 2nd replacement card which they stated
the following
Quote
Dear Tony,
We sent the replacement card that we intend to send you to our technical department.
This department will give the card a thorough testing before it will be shipped out, to
make sure the replacement card works the moment it leaves our company.
the 2nd card arrived today, may 10th - installed it to my pc - the fans spin on the card no
picture, then tried the card in my wifes pc, fans spin on the card no picture.
re - tried my wifes gtx 560 448 in my pc worked first time, she then put her card back in her
machine, her pc worked first time.
conclusion - msi have sent me 2 faulty none working usuable cards, so far i have had no
graphics card for my pc for 2 months, i dont want another 3rd re-furbished card ive had
enough - and when i email msi on Monday to send this one back i no they will try to send
me a 3rd replacement card. i dont want it. am i within my rights to a refund or a NEW card
due to not having a working one which will total almost 3 months and 2 cards sent to me
that dont work? advice please ?

can you test the card in another 3rd machine?
have you tried to >>Clear CMOS Guide<< as well with power cord removed?

Problem with Matrox Mini, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570, Premiere 5.5.2 and After Effects CS5.5

Hello,
We have a couple video workstation PC's in our office.
Premiere and After Effects have been crashing lately with increasing frequency - about every two minutes now.
Here is the setup:
Hardware
Matrox Mini - Matrox Utility release 5.5.1
Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 - Driver release 275.33
Intel Xeon X5660 2.8 GHz processors
24 GB Ram
Software
Adobe CS5.5, specifically...
After Effects 10.5.0.253
Premiere 5.5.2
Windows 7 64-bit
We have two 21" LCD monitors in dual display running from the computer, and the Matrox Mini outputs a preview signal to a 15" CRT.
The crashes occur when I have After Effects and Premiere open at the same time. I am editing in a Matrox 720p29.97 timeline in Premiere. I imported several compositions from AE into Premiere through Dynamic Link and am matching audio with the animations in comps. When I switch back to AE to make an edit in the comp, After Effects generates a crash warning and then gives me the opportunity to save the project under a new name. After saving, it closes down completely. The Matrox WYSIWYG Control Panel in the system tray crashes during AE's crash, disabling the preview to the CRT from Premiere and AE. Since the Premiere sequence is a Matrox preset - in order to have output to the CRT - this freezes the timeline; the video and audio no longer play. When I save and then try to close Premiere, Premiere freezes and will not close without a force quit via the Task Manager.
In order to deal with this temporarily, I am editing in an AVCHD 720p30 sequence preset in Premiere, which doesn't send a preview feed to the CRT, obviously, since it's not a Matrox preset and the CRT is connected via the Matrox Mini. It's more than a minor inconvenience, since I use the CRT for color accuracy.
It is frustrating, since we did not have this problem until the recent CS5.5.2 update. We have tried changing drivers for the GTX 570 and changing the Matrox utility software to other versions, but no luck.
Is there a combination of GTX 570 drivers, Matrox software releases, and AE/Premiere settings that will make this work? I know there are "Known Issue" posts with Nvidia cards on Matrox's website, which include the GTX 570, but, again, this problem started with the Adobe CS5.5.2 update.
Any help here would be great, and I am willing to provide more information about the system and our crashes if it helps find a solution for the community, as I know this is not an isolated problem after reading Nvidia's, Matrox's, and Adobe's forums. I just can't find a hollistic solution on any of the individual manufacturer's forums.
Thank You.
Jordan

I've been running with Matrox for years, starting with the Axio LE. I do 75% broadcast work and find that the Matrox works very well with my kind of workflow. Monitoring is critical and since we have to deal with 3rd. party solutions, Matrox was my pick dating way back to 2006. Sure I've had frustrations with it, but I've made far more money off Matrox than frustration.
   Here's my nearly crash-free setup:
Gigabyte GZ-X58A-OC moboard
Intel 990X (only overclocking to 4.0)
24Gb of Kingston HyperX Ram
GTX580 Graphics Card
Matrox MXO2-LE w/Max
Crucial 240Gb Sata III drive (the one that has a nearly perfect score on Newegg's site)
2 x 2Tb WD Blacks Raid 0
2 x 1Tb WD Blacks Raid 0
Win 7 Ultimatte (it's a high-end version of Windows that's great for keying!)
CS5.5 Suite
Boris Red 5
Boris Continuum Complete 8
Trapcode Shine, Form, 3d Stroke, Starglow, and Particular
Optical Flares by Video CoPilot
   The reason I list all of that software, is that it all seems to get along together, including with Matrox! So, I can't say I highly endorse Matrox because I've never tried Black Magic or running an external monitor off of my video card.
    I use After Effects with all sorts of plug ins and rarely have crashes. If I put in a long day I'll have the usual crashes here and there (mainly with PremierePro), but nothing that has required evan a soft reboot of the computer.
   My frustration with Matrox is mainly the delay that often comes with Adobe coming out with a new release and Matrox taking 2 or 3 months to catch up, though when Adobe went from 5 to 5.5, there was no delay at all.
   I think that a lot of the people who trash Matrox probably haven't used a Matrox product in years. But before you listen to me, I must confess that I was an early adopter (and advocate) of SSDs and even today, many people on this forum think they're still a waste of money!
   I'll close by simply saying that I've not left Matrox after 5+ years, but keep in mind I haven't had the bad experiences that so many others seem to have had, but again, perhaps they had those bad experiences long ago.

MSI gtx 570 twin frozr III - Dual Screen Windowed mode issues

Ok, so... I was running a solo monitor 1440x900 resolution, i recently purchased a brand new asus 24 inch 1900x1080 monitor. Basically what is happening is when i play WoW or Battlefield 3 in windowed mode on the 1080p monitor the colors are not perfect. When i go full-screen on the new monitor no issues, but that is not what i want to have to live with. When i say the colors are not perfect what i mean is, for example when i look @ the sky instead of being a smooth transition or blend from one shade of the sky to the next it is bars or stripes of each shade as if i am looking at the sky in 8 bit color instead of 32 bit color. Another thing to note is that when i login to windows 7 the blue screen where i input the password has the same effect. The 1440x900 monitor is running everything just fine. the only issue is with the 1080p monitor.
I am using DVI cabling for both, and have swapped them around to see if that was the issue, and sadly it is not. I am running the updated gpu driver, which i uninstalled and re-downloaded and installed again tonight.
When i use the HDMI cable, that fixes the issue but i need the HDMI for my 42 inch tv.
Also in windows, just to cover my bases with this post, i have the native resolutions properly configured, as well as in the game for the given monitor it is being played on.
Anyone know of a fix for this?
i7 2600k
asus PBZ68-v Pro/Gen3
Msi gtx 570
Samsung syncmaster 953bw (1440x900)
Asus VS248 (1900x1080)
I am more than happy to re-explain anything that may not be as descriptive or clear to you just let me know!
EDIT!
When i run the 24 inch 1080p new monitor as my only monitor on the system, everything runs perfectly...
Edit #2
Ok so i have pin pointed a possible cause
This msi gtx 570 struggles with operating multiple displays with different resolutions, while dual screening with my 1080p television and the 1080p display, everything runs as expected. Having to also render a 1440x900 display is probably the reason i am having the graphic issues. Is there any type of utility, setting, or other fix to this type issue? also this gpu is certainly less than 2 weeks since i purchased i could get a different card to remedy this... any suggestion? if you suggest a different card can you say so with certainty that it will work properly under the condition in which 2 resolutions will be required?

Ok, the problem is fixed and Svet i skipped a step or two. I installed the new driver with the clean install to save time for an initial attempt. What is interesting is that with the Geforce driver, only one 1920x1080 resolution was available
The msi driver gave me 2 options, 1920x1080 and 1920x1080 (native). The latter resolution fixed the issue for whatever reason.
The solution to this problem is so easy, when i purchased battlefield 3 it prompted me to download the geforce.com driver and i did not think anything of it at the time, lesson learned.

MSI Z87-G45, GTX 570, Windows 8.1 and SecureBoot

Hello
I have the spec in the subject. I was running Windows 8 was a GPT partitioned SSD and now that I have upgraded to 8.1 the "SecureBoot isnt configured correctly" watermark is there.
When I try to enable secure boot in the BIOS (upgraded to 1.5) it tells me that I need to disable "CSM" first.
I suspect that I cannot do that because I am forced into CSM mode because the GTX 570 is not compatible?
I can select custom mode and generate the factory keys and then boot, but the system fails to boot with a warning that the video card is not GOP compatible and then resets the BIOS to disable Windows 8 features.
So I am looking for some information to confirm that I cannot secureboot with my current video card. In addition if anyone knows how to disable the watermark (without disabling UAC) that would be great and is in fact all I want!
Its very annoying to have a working system before what should have been a pretty minor windows upgrade and now have it look ugly all the time!
Oh and I am also pretty sure that I can remove the watermark by reformatting the SSD to be an MBR disk, but again I dont want to do that because I boot UEFI mode only with MSI Fast Boot on to get a nearly instant BIOS. Less value in a fast SSD boot time if you need to wait 15 seconds for the BIOS to detect my USB devices!
Thanks for any information.

So it seems.
I want to use UEFI to boot the BIOS and not use secure boot at all, which the BIOS seems to support but Windows does not seem to like. UEFI should not be treated by Windows as implying a secure boot.
Very annoying. DLL resource hacking seeming likely!

Gtx 680 vs two gtx 570?

I don't think I have enough inform to make a informed decision...
How helpful can two gpu(s) be for affect effects? Would you link those gpus in sli?
Anybody running two or more gpu's for after effects?
How does the gtx 680 compare to the gtx 570 in terms of affer effects performance?
Sorry if these questions have been answered a thousand times.. I've been having some trouble finding the info...

You're looking for a simple answer that doesn't exist. In both scenarios the potential speed gains will be at best 10-15% compared to a single GTX 570/580 or whatever, which, given the overall slowness of the raytracing stuff is marginal, for all intents and purposes. A 680 may fare a bit better while you work - it is, after all, newer and more optimized - but that advantage may still evaporate when you crank up the quality for final rendering and enable DOF, motion blur and all those costly features. And as I said many times: I wouldn't base any purchasing decisions on CS6' 3D. All comparisons where people brag about rendering 5 seconds of some simple text animation in an hour make me go "So what? I've been doing that the last 10 years in my 3D programs." So in all fairness, as far as I'm concerned, you are looking to solve a very specific need on the wrong end using the wrong means. You can have much more fun using Video CoPilot's Element or a 3D program and neither will impose those outrageous hardware requiremnts to work their magic. If you feel you still need that raytrace stuff, then personally I'd settle for a single GTX570/580 right now. The simple truth is that a half year from now there will be much better Keppler-based cards than a costly GTX 680 and Adobe may even care to support them then, so you'd regret spending a lot of money for nothing. And did I mention that Element will burn like crazy on a GTX 580 in which you could invest the money saved in the process?

Quadro 2000 v. gtx 570 v. Quadro 4000

Can anyone comment on the MPE performance difference between the Quadro 2000, the gtx 570 and the Quadro 4000? I'll be using hacked GH2 footage with CBR intra-frame coding, which (I'm told!) can and should be put on AVC Intra time-lines (not AVCHD).
I'm concerned most with time-line responsiveness and playback performance. DVD encoding, exporting footage, etc., won't be happening very often, so that's of less concern.
I'm aware that the gtx 570 is probably the best buy of the three; but that's not the question. Many thanks.

In any case, performance wise the Quadro 2000 is a waste of money: It costs almost $400, yet it performs equally as slowly as a $100 card. And in Premiere Pro CS5.5, the encoding performance becomes significantly slower with lesser GPUs. Look up posts by Bill Gehrke and you may find a list of GPUs along with their performance charts in the PPBM5 benchmarks. Bill tested a wide range of GPUs from a GTX 580 all the way down to an old 9500 GT. Pay particular attention to the MPEG-2 DVD scores. You will find that even on an overclocked i7-2600K system, the system with a GTX 550 Ti took more than twice as long (146 seconds) as the GTX 580 (60 seconds) or even a GTX 560 Ti 448-core (68 seconds) in that test. The Quadro 2000 would have performed even slower than the GTX 550 Ti in that same test (heck, the GTX 550 Ti itself is slightly slower than a first-generation GTX 260 in this test despite having an equal number of CUDA cores due to the 550 Ti's slightly lower total memory bandwidth). The Quadro 4000 would have performed roughly on a par with Bill's tested GTX 285 (117 seconds) in that same test.
On the other hand, if you're encoding to H.264, then the Quadro 2000 would have been only slightly slower than the GTX 570; you would have had to downgrade further to Quadro 600 (GeForce GT 430) level to see a significant degradation of H.264 encoding performance.
Secondly, the Quadro 2000 has only 1GB of RAM total. With your footage, it is possible that any effects that you apply will eat up more than the amount of memory on the card. If a scene needs 1.5GB of VRAM to render using MPE GPU mode, then the 1GB card will run out of RAM. And when the rendering job runs out of VRAM, that entire frame or scene will default entirely to the MPE software-only mode, which will result in slower performance and may also degrade image quality.
And I strongly recommend avoiding the purchase of off-the-shelf PCs or workstations to begin with: Those systems are way too expensive for such bottom-of-the-barrel performance, and upgrading such a system via the manufacturer would have cost you three to four times more than if you bought those same parts elsewhere. If you can't build an editing workstation yourself (or find it too much of a bother), consider contacting a vendor who specializes in custom-configured editing systems such as ADK.

Mercury playback not utilising GPU (GTX 570) PP 5.5

Hi
I have a problem with premiere pro not utilising my GPU for playback Th eyellow line on the timeline indicates the mercury playback is enabled, but footage is jerky and not smooth. I then monitored my GTX 570 usage and found 0% of the GPU was being utilised. I have a I7 2600k, 16GB RAM, GTX 570 GPU, 7200k hard drives an. d are using premiere pro CS5.5. Is this a problem with my GPU or PPro CS5.5
Cheers
Dave

Hi Jim Simon
I tried what you told me to do, and you were right The accelerated export went around 3.5X faster than the software only. Six minutes of 1280x720 Mp4 footage took about 3.5 minutes to export to H.264 and the non acclerated took about 11 minutes.
I forgot to mention that I was also speeding up the footage through time-remapping, so maybe that was where I was having trouble with the jerky footage. I was under the impression that time remapping was also accelerated, maybe asking too much!
Thanks for your help.

Is it still impossible to run a GTX 570 with a Mac Pro under Lion

I have the GTX 285 Mac Edition and it's running fine.
Anyway, meanwhile I'm searching for a more powerful graphic card, e.g. the GTX 570.
The premise is, that it will run with Lion and bootcamp Win7 ... without, or very less, hackintosh steps.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Everything could be helpful.
Thx in advance and Greetz

Hey Bob,
Thanks for the information. My last experience was with VMWare 1 and I don't think this functionality was available then. I downloaded today version 4 and at this point I am running Win 7 within MacOS. Haven't tried rebooting to my bootcamp partition yet or printing or sharing, etc. If it works as advertised though I should be a happy camper.
The import option doesn't strike me as a good one for my situation. I have 500GB on my MBP and 120 GB allocated to my windows bootcamp partition. If I do the import option with VMWare I'd basically need another 120 GB of the total space and then I'd have two unsynchronized windows disks, one under bootcamp and the other under VMWare.
Running VMWare as a Mac application I can see it's a bit slower than running in bootcamp, but I expected that.
This is exciting stuff and I appreciate you taking the time to enlighten me.
Thanks

GTX 570 and Premiere CS 5.5: Mercury Playback Engine doesn't seem to work

Hi everyone,
I'm getting choppy playback and a red render bar on Premiere CS5.5 whenever I apply to a clip one of this effects: Any effect on the distort folder, noise alpha or Magic Bullet Looks 2.
The sequence is an AVCHD 1080/24p Premiere preset and the media files are AVCHD from a GH2 (1080/24p at 24Mbps).
My system is more or less like this:
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z68X-UD4-B3
Processor: Core i7 2600k
Ram: 16Gb DDR3 1600 Kingston HyperX
Graphics Card: Gigabyte GTX 570 1280 Mb (it comes factory overclocked)
(Only one 1920*1080 monitor is attached to the graphics card right now)
HDDs: 3 Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB lay out as follows:
        c: OS, Program Files, pagefile
        g: Project and media files
        h: previews
And now, the symptons: In an AVCHD 1080/24p sequence with 24Mbps AVCHD clips, all in the same video track, whenever I apply an effect from the distort folder, Magic Bullet Looks or noise alpha (and probably any hardware accelerated effect) the render bar turns from yellow to red and I get choppy playback unless I set the playback resolution to 1/2. If I change the Mercury Playback Engine setting from hardware to software nothing changes. So I'm thinking that the GTX 570 is not working with Premiere CS5.5 for some reason. In this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3736541) some people had similar complains. Also rendering feels pretty slow. For example a 30 seconds clip with a Magic Bullet Looks effect applied takes 150 seconds to turn from red to green.
I've tried completely uninstalling the nvidia drivers and installing the latest ones to no effect. I'm kind of frustrated, I've chosen this system and CS5.5 thinking it was going to be a smooth experience and I'm a bit dissapointed right now. Hopefully there will be a fix for this. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong myself.
Thanks a lot in advance and sorry to bother you with this.

Thanks a lot Harm and Jim,
I continue to be amazed by the willingness of people around the web to help each other. Maybe there's still some hope for the human race after all.
Regarding my MPE expectations I suppose that it's a sign of the times; spoiled kids like me expecting the world from a new system and then getting dissapointed at the first symptons of something not going as smooth as they think at first. But then again when storytelling costs you more than it pays at the end of the month, sometimes it's difficult not to get into drama-queen mode every now and then.
Sorry for going a little bit off-topic here but, is there away to make completely sure that the graphics card is actually doing its job inside Premiere? This thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3736541 got me a little nervous thinking that it may be a bug or something on CS5.5 that prevents the GTX570 from working properly.
Also is there a way that I can improve general performance and rendering times without investing a lot more in this new machine. I thought about buying a couple of more disks and running a RAID through the motherboard but maybe the impact in processing power is not worth it. Sorry again to ask so many questions but video editing is almost completely new for me. Not so long ago writing was enough for me, but that's not anymore the case. Now, I'm using every storytelling medium that I can. So my mind is always filled with question marks dancing to Tchaikovsky ballet suites and who knows what else.
Thanks a lot again. I hope I can repay the community in a not so distant future.
Regards.
Diego

GTX 570/580 in C20/C20x

Erik, which GTX 570 are you using? I am interested only out of sheer curiosity as I have a Quadro 5000 in my c20x, but was the card crashing with specific software or even with routine windows navigation or the like? Also have you looked into the larger memory 570 and 580 cards (i think they are 2gb, 2.5gb and 3gb)?
Edit: And Happy New Year!
(mod edit: split thread out of different discussion and changed title to match)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

the short version is that i milled a pair of 6- and 8-pin sockets on the bridgeport, crimped pins with a molex tool, bent the card pins 90 degrees to fit the sockets, and covered the exposed parts with heat shrink.   i then removed the center brace from the chassis and tapped the PCI slots for 3mm chassis screws.   the access cover shuts with zero effort and doesn't bulge at all.   height of the sockets are a mere 2.5mm.
i also modified an FX 4800/5800 rear support bracket to fit the GTX 570.   it's rock solid and fully supported at both ends.
i plan to make a revised version of the power cable harness using shorter wires now that i know it works.   with my C20 up 24/7 i simply haven't been motivated enough to take it offline.
these photos are pretty bad but should get the point across.   i'll take better ones when i have more time.
here's a detailed shot of the sockets.   originally i planned to pot them with epoxy but decided it was safe enough to run as-is until i can shorten the wires.

MSI GTX 570 (N570GTX-M2D12D5) - Display driver stopped responding

Problem:
Upon watching videos and playing games, artifacts begin to show and green blotches sometimes appear. After a couple seconds the video slows down and crawls to a stop. After another couple seconds the screen goes blank, then after 2-3 seconds the video comes back and I get a balloon notification, "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered"
Attempted Fixes:
-Updated Gigabyte Motherboard BIOS to the latest revision (F7, need to try F8a beta)
-Updated Video Card BIOS to latest revision (KJ1)
-Installed MSI's latest video card driver (285.62)
-Installed NVIDIA's latest video card driver (285.62 WHQL)
-Installed NVIDIA's latest beta video card driver (295.51 beta)
-Removed all but essential hardware (booted using only CPU/Memory/Mainboard/SSD+HDD/Video Card)
-Tested other graphics cards (9800GX2 worked fine, very similar power requirements as GTX 570)
-Verified PSU's requirements Seasonic X650 650-Watt PSU (High-efficiency, 54A on +12V)
--Minimum 550W or greater system power supply (with a minimum 12V current rating of 38A)
-No overclocking
-Increased northbridge voltage
-Increased GPU voltage
-RMA'd my first GPU, got my 2nd GPU and it too has the same problem.
-Increased timeout per Microsoft's KB article:
--http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2665946
-Clean install of Windows 7 64-bit SP1
I think it's incompatible with Gigabyte motherboards... I cannot find any other logical connection, even after updating both BIOS (Video & Mainboard)
Should I RMA? Can MSI refund me? I'm sick of this problem and I'm not convinced an RMA will fix it.
My specs:

is the card OC edition, if yes have you tried to remove the factory OC?

do you use BIOS defaults settings? [no any OC]
test the card into another computer

Is it time to RMA my GTX 570/OC?
