  • NVIDIA SLI support on my MSI DKA790GX Board ?

    I own the MSI DKA 790GX M/b, AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE, and Two MSI N250GTS 2D1G PCI-e video cards windows 7 pro 64bit.  I want to install second Video card.  Will This AMD chipset support NVidia SLI using the ATI Crossfire bridge adapter that ships with the motherboard?  I cant find any info anywhere that says that the SLI Bridge connector is universal fit for NVida/ATI boards? IF i need a special NVidia SLI bridge connector where do i get this?
    I am new to SLI and any help would be appreciated.

     No you can't use CrossFire bridge on NVIDIA VGA cards. No you can't use any NVIDIA cards in SLI on that MB. Yes you need ATI VGA cards for CrossFire on that MB. If you would have read the MB specifications you would have known this before purchasing the parts.

  • Does a laptop with Intel HD 4400 graphics work with creative cloud software, or do I NEED Nvidia or AMD?

    Does a laptop with Intel HD 4400 graphics work with creative cloud software, or do I NEED to have Nvidia or AMD graphics

    Creative Cloud has MANY programs Explore Adobe desktop apps | Adobe Creative Cloud so the answer is most likely going to be specific to the program
    Work... yes... work WELL with something like Premiere Pro... no

  • Running Nvidia SLI with CS3/CS4

    Is anyone running CS3 or CS4 on an Nvidia SLI set-up? If so do you get any screen flickering? If you do not receive screen flicker and everything appears to function normally please tell us the following:

  • Available AM3/NVidia SLi Mobo's

    I just did a quick net search and found the MSI's NF980-G65 mobo is the ONLY NVidia SLi based AM3 capabable mainboard out there...... No one else has a mainboard as capable as this one for use in this configuration. At least not that I could find. It is a very nice board to boot.

    Here are some http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007625%20600008306&IsNodeId=1&name=NVIDIA%20nForce%20700

  • MOVED: K9N DIAMOND / OCZ NVIDIA SLI PC2-8500 NOT @ 1066Mhz

    This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=117342.0

    You can only run 1066 with a Phenom CPU, which will not work in that board BTW.
    And the reason your RAM is defaulting to 780Mhz, or 375ish, is because of the CPUs memory controller. You can get it to boot at 400Mhz but the CPU needs to boot at a speed divisible by 400Mhz (2000, 2400, 2800, 3200, 3600)...I think the X2 4000+ runs at 2.1G? If you raised the HTT a little, to say 229Mhz, I bet it would run there without an issue (it is only 2400Mhz). That would also boot the RAM at 400Mhz, or in this case around 460Mhz because of the increase in HTT speed.
    You can also mess with the CPU's multiplier to bring the HTT and RAM speed up as well. Instead of 10.5 x 229 you could try 9 x 266. That will put you at the same 2400Mhz on the CPU, but will bring the RAM up to its rated speed.
    If you don't want to go higher with the CPU speed all you need to do is find a combo that will work for both CPU and RAM. For example, you could run 2100Mhz by using 8 x 263, 8.5 x 247, 9 x 233, 9.5 x 221, 10 X 210 and stock 10.5 x 200. All of those will give you the same clock speed - but your RAM will change based on the HTT you select. Going with 8 x 263 will put your RAM closer to its rated speed while still keeping the CPU at or around 2100Mhz. You will lose some speed on the RAM because you aren't booting at a speed divisible by 400Mhz. I usually subtract 20 to 25Mhz when trying to figure this in my head...8 x 263 should put the RAM at about 525Mhz or so, but in reality will only be around 500Mhz...
    Sorry if this is confusing, but I am in a hurry...If you have any questions, which you probably will, fell free to ask and I will try to help as much as I can. I have experience overclocking on that board, and also have a DOA one sitting here next to me(Grrrr), so I am sure we can get you going in the right direction. Good Luck.

  • MOVED: MSI-7100 K8N NEO4/SLI + AMD OPTERON 185

     Download and run whichever one is applicable to your OS.
     That tests entire system but you can compare overall & individual results for each CPU.
     It's fairly common for each core to run at slightly different speeds and therefore show different temps as well.
     Except for speed the specs are same for both of them but individual samples can vary slightly for voltage and such within those specs.
    Core voltage (V)   1.3 / 1.35 for both of them.

  • Laptop for Photoshop - GPU (Nvidia vs AMD) + Display (IPS vs TN) questions - please help

    Hi, I am helping someone with getting a new laptop for PhotoShop work, and am very confused about a couple of things.
    Hoping that the pros on this forum can help.
    1. Dedicated Graphics card - needed or not?
        If needed, AMD Radeon/FirePro (difficult to find on laptops) or Nvidia GeForce GTX 6xxM/7xxM or Quadro?
    2. Suggestions on laptops with an IPS panel and wide color gamut.
    Re. 1 - this is very confusing. From what I researched, the new Photoshop versions (CS6 and above) do use the GPU very effectively, and are using OpenCL rather than CUDA. Yet there are people on some forums that say that a GPU is not needed unless editing video.
    My friend is not editing video - he is using Photoshop to create Digital Art. He does use all of the Photoshop features in his work. No 3D work, no video editing. The end result is Printed artwork - sometimes large prints 3 ft x 4 ft printed with geeclee on canvas/high quality paper.
    Is a GPU needed, and if so is it better to get the AMD cards (Radeon most likely) that seem to completely outperform the GeForce cards in OpenCL at least?
    Most of the laptops available seem to have the GTX 6xxM or 7xxM cards, and I read on one forum that the OpenCL functions are disabled on these cards. Read on another forum that it can be re-enabled with a hack. Thorougly confused. Please help.
    Re. 2 - This too is confusing. Seems like an IPS panel has the best color rendition, but then they do not cover the entire color spectrum - or at least not as widely as the TN panels. If this will be the only monitor for work, is an IPS panel the best way to go or is it better to get a TN with wide gamut? Are there laptops with both - an IPS panel and a wide color gamut - without breaking the bank?
    Currently the Sager/Clevo machines, and some MSI models, and ASUS models seem to be the best candidates. Had to rule out Dell Precision 6700/4700 and HP Elitebook 8770W/8570W due to price, but considering refurbished ones.
    I am working with a $1200 budget with maybe some stretchability. Any advice/suggestions will be much appreciated.

    At the potential risk of your pretending to kick me off what you misguidedly perceive as your thread—which by the way you would have no right to do, since you do not own a thread just because you started it—I'll have a couple of comments on your original thoughts.
    There's no reason to be "confused" here.
    1.— Utilization of the GPU is indeed always beneficial to using recent versions of Photoshop, regardless of whether you work with video or not.  Whether you "need it or not" is a different discussion.
    2.— Of course it's absolutely necessary to be able to work with a monitor that has a narrower gamut than your working space or even your output target profile.  In my case, for example, as I'm 99.9% concerned with high quality prints, I work exclusively in ProPhoto RGB.  I'd be in a pickle if I were to restrict my work to just what I can see on any monitor regardless of how wide its gamut were.
    One just has to learn how to work in Photoshop.  That's what  Gamut Warning and Soft Proofing are there, for example.  Printers are capable of printing some colors that are not visible on any monitor.
    3.—  If both the video card and/or its driver fail to support Open GL and Shader Model, no "hack" on Earth can make up for it.
    4.— If someone came to me for advice on a laptop on which to run Photoshop  well, my main and perhaps only goal would be to dissuade that person from wasting his or her money.
    I know there might be flak from some laptop users for that immediately preceding paragraph, but hopefully not as much as you're likely to get—and deservedly so—from Mac Pro users for your astonishingly uninformed comments on those machines. 
    One thing is having a laptop as a second machine on which to show your Photoshop work to clients and prospective clients when forced to, and another one is trying to use a laptop as one's main, working Photoshop machine.
    Going to a laptop publication (which I gather the obscure, niche-market "NBR" you cite is) for information on whether to use one or not is like seeking theological religious advice about world religions from the Pope in the Vatican or the Ayatollah in Tehran. 
    5.— In the past I had run Photoshop on a variety of different nVidia GeForce cards with up to 512 MB of VRAM, but with Photoshop CS6's more advanced utilization of the GPU I have moved to a mutant, factory-overclocked, flashed ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1 GB of VRAM driving side-by-side dual 22" monitors in my current desktop Mac Pro 2.66 GHz under OS X Lion 10.7.5 and I couldn't possibly be happier.
    I do run my second copy of Photoshop on my Mac Book (not "Pro") laptop with its stock Intel GMA 950 video circuitry and its paltry  64 MB of shared system memory, and it works just fine for the aforementioned purposes of showing  Photoshop work to others.  I wouldn't want to do any editing in Photoshop on that machine other than for minor touch-ups in an emergency, however.
    Lastly, I feel compelled to add that, in my opinion, basic human decency would dictate that you offer Trevor some sort of apology for your presumptuousness in asking him to leave this thread.  If I hadn't already begun typing this post before you posted your #6, I might have just ignored your thread.  Considering the overall anti-laptop tenor of this post, you may well wish I had.

  • MOVED: Eclipse SLI & Windows 7 Drivers, etc

    This topic has been moved to Windows 7.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=126646.0

    Hey Guys,
    I actually have a dv9000 laptop myself so I was floored when I found out that HP would only support a few of the top laptop models for Windows 7 drivers. After doing alot of research and countless tinkering, I found the way to counteract at least one of the many woes many of you are feeling, updating NVIDIA GPU Drivers. 
    What I did was I went to HP's support site and downloaded their softpaq solution including the NVIDIA drivers for Vista (in my case, the 64-bit version). When it tries to install, it will fail saying that the version of Windows you're using is not Vista. By all means let it fail but don't exit unless you do so by the installer. This is where the next part comes in.
    Go to the Screen Resolution Settings under Display and click on Advanced Settings. At this point, it should show you the properties of your card starting on the Adapter tab. Click on Properties and then the Driver tab. At this point, click on the Update Driver button and then click on the "Browse my computer for driver software." For my software, I found it under "C:/swsetup/sp42365/WinVista64." If you remember which softpaq file you downloaded, finding your path should be a piece of cake. After all of that, it should finally recognize your video card and ask you to reboot. If you're successful, you should be back at that 1400x900 resolution we all love.
    I'll keep researching to see if the other softpad drivers react the same. I wish that HP at least tells people about this option since it's fairly easy to follow. 

  • GPU support and Nvidia SLI

    It would appear that even with Nvidia's new Vista drivers 178.24 (today Oct 15) you will only get GPU support if you turn off SLI. Seems like a waste of a second video card. Hopefully Nvidia will get this sorted in the next release.
    My system:
    Intel QX6888 (quad core)
    3 GM RAM
    2x GeForce 8800 GTX (normally in SLI)
    Vista 32bit

    Read the fineprint and don't listen to the marketing fluff. NVidia never has made any promises that it would double the available texture resolution nor double the number of polygons a 3D program could display or any other real feature relevant for the performance as perceived by the user. All it does is extend your desktop resolution or improve a few things on the texture filtering and antialiasing by providing different cooperative methods of the two GPU working on the same problem at once, but even a quad SLI can not override the rules of OpenGL or any other display API else for that matter. There is really very little measurable benefit to SLI in combination with professional apps, even for the always resource hungry CAD people, and I don't exactly call paying twice the money for a meagre 5 - 20% gain a good deal. This may be different for others, but point in case: SLI has no place with most current commercial mainstream apps and unless NVidia open up the API so others can really understand and use what SLI does, this will not change in the foreseeable future.

  • Going from NVIDIA to AMD cards

    My old 9800GT died and I decided to buy a R9 270x, but I'm not really sure how to switch drivers the correct way. Do I only remove everything related to NVIDIA, turn off my computer and install the AMD card, then turn my computer back on again and install the AMD driver? http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/d … x%20x86_64

    I am very happy with my R9 270X using open source drivers playing Dota 2 and Left 4 Dead. I do have trouble with the DisplayPort where the EDID seems to be messed up and I have to manually set the resolution via xrandr, so I keep her hooked up with HDMI. I am hoping for a solution in a new kernel release.
