Lightening XE gtx 580 BIOS

I own 2x MSI lightening 3gb xe running at stock everything
I notice that following the latest bout of Nvidia drivers many users are reporting 'hardware' issues, and in response it seems like some vendors eg EVGA have issued a vbios update to slightly boost the GPU vcore from 1.000 to 1.025 or 50 mV to increase stability.
One would suspect if its necessary for those gtx 580s it would be necessary for ours too. I know afterburner can do this at startup, but it would be nice to formalise it in a vbios update so i dont always have to run afterburner in my system tray.
Is there a bios update planned for our cards?
I am currently running 70.10.48.00

Hi,
Yep. KG3 vs KG4, is minimum voltage boost from 1V to 1025mV
Thank you

GTX 580 Bios

Hi I have the N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC card. I have left it all standard apart from upping the core voltage to 1075 with MSI Afterburner. Everything is fine and has been running fine for months now. I missed out when Svet was dong the free bios thing so have bought his utility. Before I change anything I see there is a newer bios (KG4) out than what I have (KG3). Does anyone know what changes were made from KG3 to KG4. Cheers Doug

GTX 580 Twin Frozr II O/C - confused by bios version number, and how to flash

Hi, my first post here. But I've been reading a bit here. Still, I get confused by this whole vga bios thing, version numbers and how to flash... Ok, so here's my situation:
I have two PC's. Both with one MSI Twin Frozr II O/C GTX 580 card inside. It seems to me that both are working according to specifications, GPU-Z reports:
GPU clock 800 Mhz, Memory 1024 Mhz, Shader 1600 Mhz for the borth of them.
Now, one of them seems not to be totally stable (this is the newest I bought a few days ago). It locks up/crashes in some games. The other seems ok, I've been having that one for a while. Could this be a GPU core voltage problem? GPU-Z reports for the both of them:
VDDC 0.955 v
I've tried running MSI afterburner, changing core voltage to 1025, and in afterburner settings enable "Force constant voltage". Still, GPU-Z, which I keep running at the same time, still reports only 0.955. I thought this setting in Afterburner would change voltage to 1.025? This situation is for both the old one and the new one.
Now to the Bios "problem".
The newest card (the not so stable one) reports through GPU-Z: Bios Version 70.10.20.00.01
The oldest (stable) card: Bios Version 70.10.17.00.01
So... which one has the newest bios? Seems to me it is the newest card.
BUT - when running MSI Live Update 5 (newest version) it says for both the cards that they have the the newest bios version, and there's no need to upgrade??
SO - I go to the MSI webpage: http://no.msi.com/product/vga/N580GTX-Twin-Frozr-II-OC.html#?div=BIOS to download the newest bios manually, just in case.. But there it gets more confusing. The Bios version found there is :NV255MS.104(.zip).
And also, on that page I can not find how to use that file. Extracting it just gives me the file NV255MS.104 and no extension.
So, which bios is the newest one? 70.10.20.00.01 (the highest number, in the new card, but not stable in some games), 70.10.17.00.01 (in my old card, but seems stable in the games I've tried), or NV255.104 (which I don't know how to use).
I've flashed my main board bios many times over the years in various set ups, the bios on two different SSD disks and so on.. never had a problem with that, or finding out if I have the correct bios, how to do it and so on.
Maybe I'm stupid, but this MSI Twin Frozr II O/C GTX 580 bios thing confuses me a lot... So, how do I solve this situation?

I am also interested in the answer as I have 2 MSI N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC cards. I can find the latest BIOS file "NV801MS.KG4.zip" and know the version is "KG4". But how do you relate this to the current BIOS version Afterburner or GPU-Z provides? The version they each provide is "70.10.17.00.01" for both cards. The only other way to determine if they are up to date is to install and run MSI Live Update. MSI Live Update responds that they are up to date with no current version or online version information on the Live Update tab. At least the information on the Home tab states the same VGA BIOS version as GPU-Z and Afterburner. I can can only assume that the BIOS is updated by using MSI Live Update.
Also just for the additional information GPU-Z displays my VDDC as 1.039 briefly then 0.995 constantly when switching between cards. I actually have the cards set to 1.050 with Afterburner to be stable when running Crysis 2 DX11 updates.

Twin Frozr II GTX 580 Fan speed unlock

Hi all,
My GTX 580 appears to be over heating so i'd like to be able to flash the bios if possible, (any tips appreciated) with a modified file to unlock the 30-100% speed fan profile.
Any help appreciated.
Kind regards!

Quote from: poxxxy on 13-September-12, 18:15:28
Thanks, already know my way around Afterburner though . Its limited to 80% max fan speed... thats the issue! I want to unlock the 100% fan speed.
I downloaded the newest GTX 580 BIOS from the MSI website, and modified it with NiBiTor. There are numerous articles on how to do, and flash the BIOS properly, with a google search.

GTX 580 TWIN FROZR 2 OC UEFI GOP BIOS

I wanted to ask if there is any UEFI GOP compatible VBIOS available for the MSI GTX 580 TWIN FROZR 2 OC?
Thanks

Yes i try with 8800gt on same slot but nothing have a message the vga is not supported uefi gop thing , now i have plugged flash and a 19.9 bios and choose that when boot
IF you do a full cmos clear, win 8 features should be disabled by default. Did you short the JBAT1 pins while the battery was removed?

MSI GTX 580 Lightning original bios problem

I purchased today an MSI Lightning GTX 580 video card. My bios switch is on "original" position. I run MSI Afterburner and my stock speeds are : Core Clock 772 MHz, Shader Clock 1544MHz and Memory Clock 2004 MHz (stock cards speed). This card supposed to be oc. So do i have to RMA it or i have to change something to the bios switch to work at the right speeds?

Hi Clio16v (1.8 or 2.0? )
For your information:
We don't print clockspeeds on the box, but you will be able to find all product information on the label that is on the side of the box which has an MSI part number.
Using the codes on there, we identify a different "SKU" for instance, does it come with a game bundle, or is it only for a certain territory, is it OC'ed or not..
These codes are also what the reseller/dealer uses when he orders the cards.
In your case, if he matches the description of an OC card to a non-OC code, you end up with a product being sold (by a reseller/dealer) under wrong specs.
This is normal practice in the IT business, notebooks are the best example.
For instance, we have the GT780DX
This nice gaming machine comes with various configurations, one or two hard drives, 8, 12 or 16 GB of memory, BluRay or DVD, different keyboard layouts.
In this case (As the machine is just a few weeks old) we only have two different SKUs available of the GT780DX at newegg, but you can imagine that this varies per country ending up with a lot of different GT780DX's all with different specs.
I hope this clears things up a bit as MSI is not intentionally selling cards with wrong clock speeds.
As suggested here before, I think you will have to take this to your dealer if you want to resolve it.
First of all thank you for your reply. I think that as an end user don't have the knowledge to decrypt the serial number or part number of every vga card that is on the street right now. This is between MSI and the resellers/dealers. And it is not my business to know that i have to look on that label to find out what i'm buying that moment. My label is not saying anything about oc...But i dont know if it should say so... In the case of MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC and MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II you put a sticker on the box to seperate the two editions... Why don't you do the same for the N580GTX Lightning Edition? If you produce two different products(one oc and one stock) why dont you put it on the box to protect your buyers from every mistake (accidental or intentionally) that the resellers do? Why do i have to suffer to take the card back to the reseller, wait for a long time without the card which i have already paid for (reseller is out of stock) and have the possibility to take back a refurbish product although i paid for a new one? This is not a proper treatment from a big company like MSI not to protect their buyers... I also see that every vga card on the site (at least the expensive ones) has the same note "The specifications may differ from areas. Please check with your local dealers". So finally we never know what we are buying from MSI. All their products may have different specifications than advertised...So its a lucky pick, if you are lucky you are going to take what you paid for...Sorry but this is not right...

MSI APS + GTX 580 Lightening xtreme SLI

I've got two GTX 580's LX in SLI. I got a EVGA GTX460 from a friend for dedicated phys-x.
My issues are:
1) When i put the 460 in my system the APS software doesn't work. Is it because it detects a non msi card? shouldn't it work regardless because i also have 580 LX?
2) trying to fix the issue, i noticed that even when i didn't have the 460 in my system and i enabled and applied APS software, the lights on the cards don't change (turn off) according to what the software shows. Does the APS not work when cards are in SLI?
Thanks for any help

contact msi here: http://support.msi.com/ and have a ask them

GTX 580 artifacts

Hello!
I am using a GTX 580 Twin Frozr II and I am getting green artifacts in demanding games etc, haven't really noticed it in older games/simple programs.
What happens is that the game freeze and there are green artifacts and then it crashes back to desktop.
I have been reading some about this issue and I've seen that people either rma their card or some people suggest that you could increase the voltage or something similar. I have never overclocked and things like that so I'm not really comfortable with doing that, I want the card to work fine as it is, I mean I don't want to buy one of the most expensive cards on the market and then have to overclock/underclock it to get it to work.
I did try to rma my card, they did a lot of testing with it,they ran benchmarking programs like heaven dx11 and furmark, but unfortunately it was all good when they tried it so I got the same card back. And of course it is still happening. For example 10 minutes ago I started Just Cause 2 and played for about 1 minute untill the green artifacts appeared.
I have a Corsair AX850W so my psu shouldn't be a problem. 4GB Ram, Asrock P55 Extreme motherboard and a i5 750 at 2.66GHz.
I would really appreciate allt the help I can get! Thank you in advance!

If you download it and use something like Nibitor, it shows you the BIOS version as 70.10.17.00.01 (date: 03/01/11).
add: as it's factory OC then you should be able to RMA (IMO) no problems. But that's painful / slow and a quicker fix would be to raise the volts very slightly until you get stability back (I doubt it'd be a huge increase). Or you can always try the older 'official' BIOS.
Hi. I did RMA it, sent it back to where I bought it from. and they ran some tests but found that it was working perfectly so I got it back again..
Should I increase the voltage by one at a time and test?

GTX 580 Twin Frozr II overheating / not cooling

So I've had this Twin Frozr II GTX 580 card for well over a year now and recently it has started to fail alot.
It hits temperatures over 100 °C and ends with a black screen and a forced reboot.
I've blown out all the dust in my PC (monthly routine) and that didn't fix it. Neither did a driver update or BIOS update/flash.
While watching MSI Afterburner I noticed that the card isn't really cooling down during games but once I hit alt-tab and get into windows, the fans really do their job and cool down the card as it should be cooled.
Even while I set the fan speed to 85% manually with afterburner, it doesn't really go to it's full 4k RPM untill after I alt-tab. It usually hovers around 2300 RPM (or a lot less) while I'm playing the game.
Also, it's idle temperature is 43°C, which is kind off high I think.
Offcourse, having to alt tab for 5 minutes after each 10-15 minutes of gameplay is quite ridiculous, not to mention annoying in MMO's.
Anyone encountered the same issue and would know how to fix it? Not sure if I will re-do the thermal paste since that might void my warranty (if it still is under warranty, which I'm not sure off)...

I think what he is saying,
is that his fan speed doesnt ramp up during game play, maxing at or around 85% until he tabs out then it'll hit 100% to cool it off.
That's a bit odd, and I can only suggest manually setting the gpu via afterburner to 100% before gameing.
Unless I read that all wrong..

Already tried various nvidia drivers but still a crash happens different sum 5 min then again 30 min in the game can someone my with this problem.
I have sent an email after msi service there I got the answer I the last driver from nvidia had to download.
Thanks for contacting MSI technical support. Regarding your concern, we suggest you remove the previous driver.
This problem has not resolved old card so done in there there no trouble I think done asus 465, the problem is that the gtx 580 is overclockt.
Go get some other things testing and waiting for replies EA

1st: I get around P5400 points on 3dmark 11 with stock clocks.
2nd: My card really bad oveclocks. I have ASIC quality 56.3% in the latest GPU-Z. I reach 900/1800/2100 only with 1.150V - Others people reach it with 1.088v. And i get P6000 point in 3dmark11 on 900Mhz. Thats low, because people on gtx570 reach that score.
What`s wrong with card? I`ve got a bad copy of card?
My stock clocks are: 800/1600/2048 1.038V, BIOS: 70.10.20.00.01

OC is always risky and done at own risk.
Basically the max allowed from AB
We are not going to OC your card further,
but just to make it stable at default HW-OC speed

Gtx 580 twin frozr II/oc problem

I'm having problem with my gtx 580 twin frozr II/OC. everything is running fine but it crushes or video card lose focus when I run 3dmark 11 or try to play crysis. video output works fine, it plays metro 2033, star craft 2, dead space 2 just fine. It passed 1 hour of furmark stability test fine, 1 hour of OCCT test fine, passed OCCT memory test fine too. I didn't overclock it so it's at factory overclocked speed of 823mhz and idle temp is at 35c, gaming max temp during metro 2033 is 77c, OCCT test max temp was 88c. so I know it's not overheating problem. I have used both nvidia driver or 263.09 and 266.58, same result. it crushes during cutscene or after cutscene of crysis(i hear sound but no visual) and lose focus after initial loading on 3dmark11. vga bio is 70.10.17.00.01 and i am running on windows 7 64 bit ultimate edition. yes, i have updated to latest version of crysis and 3dmark11 too. still, the same. Is something wrong with this card during manufacturer place or what? I don't think this is just my problem coz according to newegg review, there were customers complain about this card gets crush during crysis. I also own gtx 570 from other brand and I was using it b4 I've got msi gtx 580 twin frozr II/oc. It didn't have any problem like this. Anyone know what's causing this? any help? I don't think RMA would help this problem at all coz card is not broken and works fine on everything just fine with no error or artifacts besides those two(3dmark11 and crysis).
