K7N2G + Geforce 5950 Ultra = not compatible?

I bought a Geforce 5950 Ultra Card (Leadtek 380 Ultra TDH), installed it and it didn´t work (Monitor stays at standby)...
Can anyone tell me if the mainboard is compatible or is there anywhere a listing of compatible / not compatible graphic cards for MSI-Mainboards?
My Config:
K7N2G mainboard (BIOS 3.90)
AMD athlon Xp2700+
2 X 256Mb DDR
550W PSU
Windows XP

I tried it ... just one stick
and it works!!!
But WHY is it working?
And how can I use both memory sticks (just 256MB isn´t funny!)
and why thinks my computer now that I have a Athlon 1500+ instead of a Athlon 2700+

Geforce 5200 or Geforce 5200 ultra ?????

Is this graphics card supported or not or is apple just messing with my head...
and is their a difference ultra or not ..

Aperture 1.5 on my Rev A iMac 20" G5 reports my video card (GeForce 5200) as NOT compatible after I installed the upgrade. How I got to this point you will need to review the other recent postings for the instructions.

Remember if you buy a PSU get a quality named PSU, like a Antec,
Enermax, Fortron, or the best, PC Power & Cooling for your primary PSU!
You can use more than one PSU, but the primary PSU that’s used by the MB
needs to have the correct amount of wattage for the MB and the Hard Drives.
The second PSU can power the 12v fans, optical drives, floppy drives, Peltiers,
water pumps, cathode lights, 3.3v-5v &12v LEDs, fan controllers, temp sensor controllers, etc, etc, etc.
A word of caution though, unless you under stand how circuits and currents
are used in your rig, I would advise you not to do this, because you can possibly
smoke your rig and burn down your house!
Here is a thread on hooking up and using two PSU!

Will this card work? - Nvidia Geforce 6800 ULTRA 256MB VRAM AGP Video Card

I posted a question about getting the maximum resolution from an Apple 30 inch Cinema Display and another card, which didn't work.
The replies were fast here in the forum and quite correct.
My next question is regarding the Nvidia Geforce 6800 ULTRA 256MB VRAM AGP Video Card.
I have an AGP card with an ATi Radeon 9600 Pro card that can't power the 30 inch because it's only 64MB and no DVI output.
I'm wondering whether this card will give me the maximum resolution?
Thanks again.

Hi Japamac-
Thanks for the quick reply.
My System Profiler indicates a ATI Radeon 9600 Pro, but it doesn't have the Dual Link since this is an older G5 with only 64MB of VRAM.
The GeForce 6800 is a refurb, but is Mac compatible.
I'm hoping that it will work, but since it won't be returnable, I don't want to spend the money needlessly.
I did order another card that the Apple support suggested should be compatible, but turned out that they sent me the PC version.
I've spoken to Apple as well and get conflicting info.
It boils down to the fact that this is a G5 with a late 2004 date.
It is fast enough for me and my only hang up is that I'm only getting 12980X800 resolution.
I'm not using it for gaming or graphics processing.
HTH.

Geforce 6800 Ultra - output only video to TV

I just bought a new Geforce 6800 Ultra and I'm a little confused about the settings for TV output via the s-video cable. Is it possible to have only the video I'm watching zoomed full screen on the TV? Currently I'm only able to get the desktop shown on the TV but not the video only.
I'm asking this because I used to have Matrox Parhelia 128 which had this function and I liked to watch all the DVD's and other video from my tv.
Thank you for your help!

I'm still confused about the TV-problem.
When I switch to TV mode I can watch videos from TV but when I return I have to put all the resolutions and screen adjustments back in the settings. It's really frustrating to do it every time.
Does anyone know a workaround for this?

File Not Compatible With This Version

I opened and created various files today, and after saving and trying to reopen I get this error:
"Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop."
One of the same files opened just fine earlier, and after opening and making small changes to adjustment layers and resaving, I encountered this error.
I did some searching, and all the causes seem to be related to using large files, Network Storage and Norton Anti-Virus. However, my files are under 2 gb, created locally (not on a Network Drive) on a machine that does NOT have Norton Anti-Virus. Hard drive was replaced on this machine in the last 3 weeks, so it's unlikely that there's an issue with that.
Any other possible explanations? All of the posts I've seen on this topic seem to be related to Smart Object and/or Placed Photo/Video layers. Perhaps it is a Photoshop glitch related to certain types of Smart Objects / Placed Photo/Video layers?
Running:
MacBook Pro Mid-2010
Mac OS X 10.6.4
Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended Version 12.0.1
8 gb RAM
341 gb free space
Intel HD Graphics & NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M
Thanks!

What you can try..
Create a blank doucument in photoshop .
Try to place the file on that by Goint to File -> Place .
It works if its not a multi layered file.

NVIDIA GeForce 2 Ultra drivers for Solaris 8

I am having trouble making the GeForce 2 Ultra drivers from NVIDIA. I have the latest gcc and make from GNU, but I keep getting errors. Has anyone been able to successfully load them and get them to work with the GeForece? Thanks in advance.

unixforall,
I had the same problem under linux. I can only tell you what I did for Linux as I haven't had a chance to download Solaris yet. Get the following file:
ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.0.2/Install
If you follow this step by step (it is very self explanatory) then you should end up with a few binaries that are compatible with the GeForce. In particular the XFree86 X server module. I don't know if there are any other catches with Solaris but with Linux (RH7) this worked like a charm (except I overwrote my previous config files and had to reinvent the wheel - be careful backup all config files if you are going to overwrite them). Anyway I hope this is of some use.

Heat ram geforce 6800 ultra

i'm planning on installing a watercooling on my msi geforce 6800 ultra because the fan just makes way too much noise. therefore i can choose between a complete vga cooling or just a chipset cooling. so i was wondering... does th ram get hot when their not cooled or will they be just fine without any cooling?
i was also wondering if when i've installed the watercooling i can remove the extra powersupply and let the card run on the agp-power (probably not, but i only got a 460 W supply and i'm having powershortages (i already had to remove the tv-card))...

I do believe the RAM on the 6800 is GDDR3 which runs cooler than it's predecessors, however, I am not entirely sure.
I do know that some of the previous heatsink designs were basically consolidated solutions, meaning the GPU and RAM were cooled with a single heatsink.
If you take MSI's TopTech coolers found on some the 8X Ti 4X series, this was a prime example of this particular technology. I have found in several cases where I had failing fans, I had no alternative but to replace the cooler assembly with a single GPU fan such as the Vantec IceberQ 4 http://www.vantecusa.com/product-cooling.html# but the package only came with 4 heatsinks and the cards I had in my possesion needed 8. Needless to say I did not use them as I discovered that the card ran much cooler without them in a non overclocked situation, certainly ramsinks would have improved OC'ing performance but in a client situation, this was not necessary.
Ultimately what I noticed was happening was, that the all in one heatsink transferred heat from the GPU, to the heatsink and back to the ram chips that ran cooler anyways. Not the best solution IMHO.
Also there was an additional factor involved, and that was the systems I built had a side cover fan aimed directly at the card so in fact I didn't really need ramsinks.
In your situation, you may be able to get away with just the GPU waterblock, but for lack of my own experience with the 6800 I cannot say definitively that this would be the best solution for you. I do know that my X800's RAM is GDDR3 and seems to run cooler as memtioned above. But I am on air.
If you stay current with available systems by boutique builders that are featured in some PC magazines such as Maximum PC, you may have been aware that one system builder actually made a separate cooling solution for the ram as well.
I do not know if this is available yet, and you may find you may have to use a combination of air and liquid. You may not even need to do it at all. Hard for me to speculate

Dual monitor problem with MSI 5950 Ultra

OK, I finally got the money to have a dual monitor setup.
I am using a MSI 5950 Ultra card
Soyo 600T Dragon Ultra MB
1 gb Corsair XMS 3500 ram
AMD 3000+ processor
Adaptec 2410SA SATA Raid card
4 Western Digital 74gb Raptors in RAID 0
2 V201S 20.1 inch Viewsonic LCD monitors.
XP Pro OS
I have updated all BIOS/DRIVERS on all hardware.
The problem is when I connect both monitors I get a system freeze. It is random and does not have to be event (ie mouse movement) generated. There are no event log entries. If I disconnect the analogue monitor the freezing goes away. Is this a known bug? If so when can I expect a driver/bios fix on the card? If not can anyone suggest a fix.
I have removed all non-essential cards.
THanks
Steve

Have you installed the driver of the monitor?

Windows latest forced nVidia update not compatible with HP Firebird PC

The latest windows update is including an "Important" October 2012 update from Nvidia that is not compatible with the Firbird's graphics. It completely trashes the graphics and will only run in the low-power hybrid mode. I re-installed the HP driver, only to have it reset again by the Windows update and had to do it all over again. If anyone is having this problem, make sure you disable the nVidia update.
(Firbird 803, Vista-64)

I'm using Windows 7 but I assume Vista works more or less the same.
Select Windows Control Panel, System, Advanced System Settings, Hardware, Device Installation Settings, Never install driver software from Windows Update and Save Changes.
Select Windows Update and Check for Updates. Right-Click any Nvidia drivers and select Hide Update.

Colour Issues - NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra in G5 2.5Ghz

Hi
I have an odd issue with NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra card in a G5 Tower.
The monitor (tried several screen so ruled that out) displays as if it is only producing Thousands instead of Millions of colours, but this is only seen at the Black end of the scale and white. For example, if you are viewing a folder's content as list, you can't see the pale blue lines under every other file. If you open another window on top, you can see the blue lines in what would be the shadow of the top window. So pale colours and dark colours are showing as white or black.
Interestingly I have a fix for this issue but it's not permanent as it reverts on restart. If I go to System Prefs > Displays and rotate the display 180˚ and then revert to 0˚ the problem is fixed!
I've tried everything I know to find a permanent fix :-
Dumping Preferences
Calibrating
Resolutions and Refresh rate
I did have this issue on an ATI card, but I resolved that with an ATI System Preference Pane.
Can anybody suggest trying anything?
thanks
Matt

Genius, this strikes a chord. I remember resolving this issue for a customer a couple of years ago and this was the answer. Was v.pleased with myself at the time, but obviously my memory is failing me now.
Can't test until monday, but will be in touch.
PS what does this say/mean - Aha, good clue, the bloe bard!
thanks
Matt

Problems MSI GeForceFX 5950 Ultra

PC specifications:
Satellite PSU 500W (422) this one is really cheap...
PC ATX CASE with 3 exaust fans (1 pci / 1 lateral / 1 back)
MOBO ABIT NF7-S
Atlhon XP Barton 2.5 ghz (thermaltake vulano 9)
2x 512mb ram (1024) samsung PC3200 in dual channel mode.
HD Maxtor ATA133 80GB 7200rpm
LG CDRW
Mouse MS blue optical USB
PS2 PC clone gamepad
Keyboard and flopydisk
Problem - Some freaking FPS slowdown on any game with any video quality settings (battlefield, farcry, doom3, Wining Eleven 7, Need for Speed Underground, Unreal 2004, Jedi Academy and others).
What I already have checked - I just got my new video card, msi geforcefx 5950 ultra, and i got some minor stability problems. First of all I would like to say that I'm no newbie and I already checked:
1. I got all lastest bios and drivers: from my MOBO chipset (nforce2) and video card (from the MSI site, not from the nvidia site).
2. I think it couldn't be any compability problems with my MOBO chipset (it is nvidia too) and video card.
3. Any thermal problems (I'm very paranoic about that), got 3 fan\exaust on the pc case, and i only use thermaltake coolers/exaust.
4. My ram memory clock it is set to 333mhz just like my fsb for more stability.
5. The video card IRQ it is fine.
6. Bios configuration. I've test my AGP settings with and without AGP Fastwrites and PCI enchant (other bios options u guys have told me to leave as default like agp voltage and clock settings).
7. My PSU is 500w (422) and the I didn't connect anything on the power line that goes to the card.
8. I used driver cleaner 3.2 to clean my last msi fx 5200 drivers.
so here we go...
Question one - I've read all the posts just like mine, and seems that my problem it is with the PC PSU, but my PSU it is 500W, it was pretty cheap but it is 500W and u guys and the video card manual have told me that the minimum required it is 350w, well the specs of the PSU it is +3.3v 28A, +5V 50A (230W), +12V 18A (216W). I saw in some post that my card would need a 24A on the 12V line, and a 32A would be the real deal for overclocking, is that true? Will I have to buy another one???
Question two - By the way I used to have a msi geforcefx 5200 tdr-128, and when I changed the Video cards I just unistaled the video card drivers, is it enought? Or there is some freaking windows registration of my 5200 driver corrupting my 5950 performance. Will I have to Format my PC???
Question tree - Why when I try to an output video resolution below 640x480 to ANY TV (already tested on 5 TV) with S-video or RCA cables, the video files (divx/xvid...) get all overlapped???
Question fuor - If I change my drivers from de MSI nVidia to the original nvidia, will I get more stability???
So can u guys help me... thanks

1.) You should be ok with 18 amps on the 12v rail, but that is bare minimum!
If you have poor airflow in your case, the power supply's efficiency will drop considerably due to excess heat. The voltages/amps can drop below acceptable levels and cause instability.
2.) It is possible that leftover registry entries and bad keys are crapping up your registry. If it's been a while since you've reformatted and you've installed/uninstalled lots of software since then, it might be something to consider.
However, I reccomend that you dump MSI drivers for the time being, and try the latest Forceware, go here for the latest nVidia Drivers you can also visit the archive if you'd like an earlier version here http://ftp://download1.nvidia.com/Windows/
Consider this procedure and use at your own risk.
Make sure to have the latest drivers downloaded.
I.) Disable System Restore and then procede to Control Panel and remove the VGA drivers. DO NOT REBOOT
II.)Run driver cleaner (I click the clean button at least twice) NOW REBOOT
III.) Ignore the hardware wizard and go directly to where you have the latest drivers and run the setup.
You may want to consider fresh chipset drivers.
3.) Not a clue
4.) Possible, but the overall condition of your OS, the process in wich you install drivers, and proper cooling, can have either an isolated or accumulative effect on overall stability of your system.
And Just to let you know, MSI employees don't visit this sight, a simple bump would eventually get someones attention (that's willing and able to answer your questions)

Which power supply for GeForce 6800 Ultra ?

As there are special requirements for the power supply and "550W" is often a marketing gag my questions is:
Which particular (and silent) power supply is recommended for GeForce 6800 Ultra cards ?

All those power supplies i suggested will power the 6800ultra with no problems. Tagan 480, OCZ 480 are very quiet. Enermax 465 is moderately quiet. I suggest you do some reading in the forums first or you might get yourself confused. Also note that the 6800ultra is a very very noisy card.

Faulty fx 5950 ultra card?

MSI K7N2G ILSR
FX 5950 Ultra
1 GB Memory
I think I have a faulty card. Put in new PSU as recomended inthese forums. Tested memory - fine. All latest drivers etc installed. When I try running 3d mark 2001 it freezes or crashes or misses some of the pogram, switches from program to no signal then back to program, distorted graphics. Also happens in games and also on the desktop, even when on the internet. Seems to be seated in the motherboard OK.
Would you agree I have a faulty card, tried all I can think of to get it to run properly.

old owl,
What is this 1Gb of memory you are using? Also which PS are you using. A little detail will go a long ways in this forum.
Take Care,
Richard
