MSI 275 GTX Lightning, overcklocking procedure

Hi,
I will be very happy if you can help me with my problem.
I bought MSI GTX 275 Lightning, especially for games and easy overclock, but i have problem with these.
First I tried to use Utility from CD MSI Lightning Afterburn, but when is programm starting there is some error NVAPI_ERROR. ( I suppose is some Dll file missing). When I try to overclock and push APPLY again the same NVAPI_ERROR, but the Clock stay on the position which I want....... But there is not options for Sharder overcloking............. SO
I tried form to Use utility from standart MSI CD, MSI Afterburn 1.0 and, starting program is OK, no NVAPI_ERROR, When I add Core Voltage and push APPLY it stay there. But when I try add Mhz in Core Clock, or Memory clock and push APPLY it come back again to default. Even I dont have activated scroll bar in Sharders and Linked mode is the same. NOT ACTIVE
I tried Afterburn 1.0 from CD, 1.20 from MSI site, 1.43 from Guru3d.com, is all time the same, the situation is the same. When I push apply it get back to defaults clock.

I am using XP32bit........
I dont know if is these problem with NVAPI_DLL (btw I dont know what is it) or that I should have WIN7, or I am doing something bad........
Thank you very much for help.

I have tried allmost everything.
When i overclock with the link options enabled in Afterburner i works fine but then i disable it the card wont overclock at all
Im using the 196.34 beta driver and W7

You have to up shader freq. to unlock a new gpu core freq. when they are in non linked mode.

MSI 780 GTX LIGHTNING QUESTION

Hi, I've just bought the 780 lightning.
Was just wondering, the lightning logo is supposed to lit up only during graphics intense programs?
Or, it will lit up even on idle i.e., in desktop?
From videos I've seen, it will lit up green on idle and changes colour during games.
Mine dosen't even lit up unless i play some games.
Let me know..

its should light in green/blue/red depend of GPU load

MSI Nvidia GTX 760 OC Edition broken

Hi guys, back in December I bought an MSI Nvidia GTX 760 OC Edition and it has worked flawlessly until a few days ago. The first sign of trouble (a few days ago) was that the computer was restarting and when it returned to desktop there was a messaged that read "nVidia display drivers have stopped working and have been recovered". Sometimes it would happen without restarting the computer which would result in the screen going blank for a second and then coming back on with the aforementioned message.
To resolve this I used the "Driver Sweeper" program to completely remove the drivers for the card and reinstall them, but the problem persisted. I did this several times with the latest driver and the older driver and the last time I did it when I was booting into windows the screen got covered with graphical artifacts in pink and yellow colours and would not even display the mouse cursor. So I switched to the integrated graphics (thank goodness my motherboard has onboard graphics or I would be screwed) and since then the system would not recognise the graphics card, even in the BIOS. This means that I cannot install drivers for the card because the Nvidia installer will not install drivers if it does not detect a graphics card present.
Now when I put the graphics card in the fan runs at max even if I unplug the PCI-e power connectors from it, yet the system refuses to recognise the card at all.
So here's a summary of what I have done:
cleaned drivers out completely
Reinstalled latest and older version of driver
Checked Bios
Reseated GPU
Tried the card in another PCI-e slot
Started the computer with the HDMI cable plugged into the graphics card, resulting in no monitor output
Attempted to install drivers from the DVD, same problem as with the drivers downloaded from the Nvidia website
Here are my system specs, everything is under a year old:
MSi Z87-G55 mobo
intel Core i5 4670k
Corsair Vengeance 8GB Ram (2x4)
XFX 650 watt core pro Bronze edition PSU
So yeah, pretty high spec and all new. I don't have another computer to try the GPU in, but with the driver related shenanigans it is fair to suspect that the GPU is at fault. I have removed the card and everything is running fine without it.
MSi don't offer any helpful information about their RMA procedure so it would appear my only hope is the person I bought it from. Although I will try to harass MSi about it to see if I can get it RMA'ed via them.

Right, as an update I was issued a replacement by MSI and it arrived today The broken card arrived to them on Wednesday and they dispatched a replacement that same day and it arrived today (Monday). So that is less than five days from the broken card arriving to them to the replacement arriving at my door, very impressed. So if anyone in the UK has a faulty MSi product that needs replacing I can vouch for their RMA service, it is first class In my experience at least, I can say that MSi are one of the good guys and will definitely be a manufacturer to consider when shopping for new hardware.

MSI GeForce GTX 780 SLI question.

Hi,
I wonder if my MSI GeForce GTX 780 Gaming OC is compatible with the MSI GeForce GTX 780 Lightning LE in SLI?
Thanks!
BR, Tobias

as long as both cards are using the same GPU (GTX 780 GK110) and they both have the same amount of VRAM (EG: 3GB+3GB) then they will be able to be used in SLI as long as your PSU can power both of them!
you can use SLI even with different manufacturers cards so long as its the same spec (GPU) as the other and the VRAM frame buffers match each other as both need the same amount!

580 GTX Lightning

hi all, i'm a new member and i have few questions about my card
First of all, i would like to o/c my card but i'm novice in this domain, i checked some forums and i have put these settings:
I heard that increase core voltage is dangerous for the card, but if i don't inscrease the core voltage, i can't put the card at 900 Mhz. Can you tell me if there are optimal settings for my card? How can i test them?
I tested on OCCT but i got some errors with shader 8 not with shader 0.
I would like to know also my Vcore max, how can i know? I used GPU Z sensors but i don't understand i have 1.038 and if i increase the core voltage on msi afterburner it doesn't change on gpu z:
My GPU Z is:
is there a new v bios or is it the latest? I checked this topic https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=148273.0 and i read "add voltage[load & max voltage] read/write support for latest and special MSI's 580 Lightning VBIOSes above version 130"

Quote from: nems34 on 24-September-11, 00:18:44
ok thx for your replies again.
So is it the latest V-Bios?
By 8 shaders i mean shader complexity optimal (8) not the default(0)
Last question, how can i know my Vcore max ? What vcore max can i beat with my 580 GTX?
yes its latest version

Hi, I hope you don't mind me joining this thread. It saves me starting a new one.
I just bought a GTX 580 Lightning and installed it. But I got confused as to what nvidia drivers I was supposed to use. There is one at Windows Update, one on a disk which came with the card, one listed here at MSI and one at nvidia. I went with the one on MSI's website, but I'm not sure if I should have. Can anyone help me on this? Sorry I feel so stupid to ask but I don't know.
One other thing I noticed, on Afterburner my card doesn't appear to be running at the advertised speed. I'm wondering if it's because my drivers are not up-to-date or the BIOS is old. Should I just move the sliders over, or if anyone could give me some settings they recommend.
I really appreciate any help.. and sorry nems34 for butting into your thread!
everything is looks fine, what is not appear to be running at adveted speed for your eyes?

MSI R9 290X Lightning random BSOD reboots with 2 CARDS

Hi all. I've looked all over this forum and the web for a solution to my issue but haven't gotten anywhere.
I recently bought two MSI R9 290X Lightning cards that are MSI refurbished/recertified. Both have the same symptoms in the same known-stable PC (no other upgrades other than the card). Seemingly at random, they will reboot the computer once every one or two days. I could be playing a game or browsing the web when it happens. It doesn't appear to be stress related since I can sometimes play games for hours and also run benchmarks and stress tests with no problems. Also not temp related since the card runs very cool (20s C at idle and no more than 50s C at load). When I inspect the memory dump upon booting back up, it always says WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR with a bugcheck code of 0x124 caused by module ntkrnlmp.exe. Upgraded from an EVGA GTX 660 that was rock solid and never BSODed, ever. And a GTX 560 Ti before that.
Nothing in my system is overclocked. I am not sure what else to try. Maybe there is a VBIOS update I need? Also, I'm not sure if this is an issue, but my motherboard has an older 760G chipset. If I leave the GPU-Z Sensors tab open, I notice as I click between windows, etc. that the memory clock jumps around between 150 MHz and 1250 MHz. Not sure if that could be an issue.
Thus far I have tried the following, and none have made a difference:
- Enabling 'Force constant voltage' in MSI Afterburner 4.0.0
- Disabling ULPS in MSI Afterburner 4.0.0
- Setting Power Limit (%) to +50 in MSI Afterburner 4.0.0
- Setting 'Unofficial overclocking mode' to 'without PowerPlay support' in MSI Afterburner 4.0.0
- Tried switching between Original and LN2 BIOS on the card
- Tried Catalyst driver 14.9, 14.11.2 Beta, 14.12
- Ensured there are two separate PCI-E cables going to the card
PC specs:
- Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 mATX motherboard (BIOS version FA)
- AMD FX-4130 CPU
- 8GB (2 x 4GB) G.SKILL Sniper DDR3-1600 RAM
- MSI R9 290X Lightning
- 3x SATA HDDs
- Antec EarthWatts 650W PSU
- Antec Three Hundred case
- Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1

I had same problems on my both R9 290X lighting just brought 1 month ago :(
I think it was software(driver) problem, because 2 cards both active for heavy gaming (BF4) is fine without any problems. But if I play online 3D games that does not have CF profiles, and only single card active, my pc will randomly sudden shut down and restart. The card temperature was around 50C.
Both cards running with Core i7 5960x + Asus x99 R5E + EVGA 1200W P2 PSU.
I'm sure it was not caused by my other hardwares, because I use GTX 780 before without any problem, also I used DDU in safe mode to uninstall Nvidia drivers before swap cards.
Sorry to hear you went through the same mess. From what I've read, a lot of people are having this problem with the R9 series (not just the Lightning or even the 290X).
I definitely haven't ruled out the AMD drivers as the cause. I am using Catalyst 14.12 currently but have also tried 14.11.2beta and 14.9. What happened with your cards, did you get them stable?
I achieved what looks to be complete stability on both my PCs by bumping the 2D GPU clock to 430 MHz in GPU Tweak, as I mentioned a few posts above. Wish there was a BIOS or driver update that fixed this issue, but oh well. I'd rather not go through the RMA hassle just for MSI to say they test fine or send me replacement cards that do the same thing.

MSI GeForce GTX 970 with MSI Z68A-GD55 (G3) motherboard

Hi!
I have seen a similar issue here that was resolved with the help of this forum. (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=251322.0). I still want to ask my questons however, since I have a slightly different situation.
I recently bought a new Graphics card, a MSI GTX 970, to replace my older EVGA GTX 570. After installing it, the time it takes to startup the computer is quite a bit longer. The very begninning of the startup process is the part that takes longer, I see a black screen and "B2" in the lower right hand corner, with the older GPU this was seen for a few seconds but now it stays that way for about a minute. After that I see some random colors in stead of the MSI logo and then the regular "Starting Windows" image appears, from there the startup is as fast as before.
When the computer has started it seems to work perfectly, and the new graphics card is great, everything on "ultra" in games etc.
I guess the way to resolve this issue is to update BIOS. I am a bit afraid of this however, of the risk of destroying something.
What would be your suggestions? Is it better to update bios or to leave it as it is, since the computer works? Are the any risks with keeping this bios version, that seems to have some issue with the graphics card?
Any help would be greately appreciated!

Ok, thanks for the advice.
I have started looking at the instructions and have downloaded the installer and the bios file. It seems Norton Internet Security has some problem with the installer. When I start the installer it reaches the point when it shows the current bios version, after that it is interupted by Norton. The reason that Norton gives is that it has found something called "Suspicious.Cloud.9.B" in the file b4.bks. How should I react to this?

MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti "Twin Frozr II" crash at 50 degrees Celsius

I get artifacts (pink squares all over screen) in heaven benchmark, fluid benchmark and gta 4, a few seconds later I get a black screen and then an error message there windows tell me the driver has crash but praise msi it was successfully recovered. All this then the card is nearing 50 degrees Celsius.

I tested driver on msi site and the latest nvidia driver, even tested some beta driver. All give the same result as stated above. I also tested to set the clocks at reference speed but no go. Also tested voltage at 1025.

Got a new card today, same card but new.
No problems now, seem the new card has newer bios and lower core voltage. Maybe that is a way to fix it, just upgrade bios.

MSI R9 290X Lightning hardfreezing randomly

Hello again everyone
As I've said in my first post requesting the new VBIOS that fixes the fan issues, I have recently gotten an MSI R9 290X Lightning.
I have had these problems since day 1, but I figured the new BIOS might help so I didn't mention them in my first post.
The problem is, after the installation of the card (i have not done any other hardware upgrades recently, the last upgrade i did was a year and a half ago with upgrading my PSU.) it started hardfreezing. I could only reboot the computer once it hardfroze, I could not move my mouse or do anything else. From what I have read from the one post that has pretty much exactly my symptoms ( www[dot]superuser[dot]com/questions/781673/random-hard-freezes-started-happening-after-installing-a-new-graphics-card ) is that apparently it is an incompatibility with the 700 and 800 series AMD chipsets. I would like some more confirmation though, as I have not found other sources saying that. It is still a relatively new card so the chances of someone using it on a not-so-recent mobo aren't big, so maybe that's why. Anyway, here are my specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1050t @ 3.5 OR recently @ 2.8 (default) GHz
Mobo: ASRock 890GX Extreme 3
Memory: Kingston 4GB (x4) KHX1600C9D3/4GX
GPU: MSI R9 290X Lightning
HDD: WD Green 1TB
OS: Windows 7 64bit
PSU: Thermaltake SMART M850W
This PC NEVER hardfroze before, and the only recent upgrade is the GPU. I have also done some other attempts:
1) Switched from Normal to LN2. No change.
2) Changed drivers. No change.
3) Changed bios AND drivers (since fans work then). No change.
4) Made sure the card is not overheating (it never crashes while playing a graphically intensive game anyway, it's ALWAYS on the desktop and/or in not so demanding games)
5) According to that post, I tried overclocking (and overvolting) it, while in both Original and LN2 with the additional 6 pin plugged in. While it did last a long time, it just crashed 5 minutes into booting windows earlier, so I can't say for sure. It is somewhat random when it crashes.
6) Used a system restore point to see if it might have been a software change. No change either.
One miscelaneous note: While it was on Original bios, it ALWAYS froze when launching Afterburner. I can confirm this as it froze 4 times exactly when Afterburner was started.
This is just about the most peculiar PC issue I've ever had so I really have no idea what else to do. I also ran a memory test, everything checked out fine.
Also, as I have said. It ALWAYS crashes on light load, no load (desktop) or when firing up Afterburner on Original bios. I ran a burn test 8 hours yesterday, and it did not crash. Then, 2 minutes after the test, it crashed while I was watching youtube. I can't seem to pinpoint the cause because, as I said, sometimes it crashes 10 minutes after the reboot (I am having to type this twice because of that...) or it can crash a day after reboot.
So, start with the suggestions guys!

Are all three power connectors of the Lightning connected?

all my system fully updated ( MB bios , drivers ...security updates ...etc
my story :
being a big fan of the game world of the warcraft made me always thinking of getting the best VGA cards , this lead me to the idea of upgrading my VGA from ATI x850xt to get a new MSI 7900GTX 512 PCI-E
things were great for the first 4 months , nothing was there , best ever VGA i may get and use , almost one months ago i had to install the game again due to many suddens errors ( mainly corrupted files in theg ame folder )
since then i started to have things i would never had before , what im having now is
1- game screen start to have long lines , screen freez then system crash with BOSD saying i have nvidia error dll file ,
2- my game kept always having corrupted files and i always had to reinstall ,
what i have tried are
updating , rolling back the VGA driver ( from MSI site and the NVIDIA site) , updating the BIOS of MB form gigabyte site
formatting and getting a fresh copy of winXP
reducing the clock speed to min (eventhough my card temp never passed 60 degree)
i did also a mem test on my rams , i found that my corrupted files was cuased by one of them , so when it was removed corrupted files problem was fixed , however my card still crash and nothing changed
i tired useing opengl , nosound , and reduced all VGA options to be off at the game setting , but still crash
i already contacted tech supp at MSI and used the driver they advised me to use , but nothing change ,
the VGA crash happen in a wiered way , sometimes it can stay for 6 hrs without a crash and sometimes every 3 mins
and somtimes it crash at the login screen even before i start the game
i just dont know why it was working for 4 months and crashed now
now my question , is my VGA became a dead card like my ram and i should buy a new one , was that caused by the PSU , should i get a new VGA and keep the PSU or should i get the two of them new , and is there any way to fix my VGA to make it working as before ,
btw , i have tried many 3D games and all give the same crash
ur help will realy appreciated

just noticed somthing not written on my psu box and not at the link of the PSU
it says +12v@10amp , +12v@15 amp
still dont know what that mean , is it 25 amp in total ? ( there is nothing written like total at the box )
get a better PSU, some good options can be found here:

MSI Geforce GTX 750 Ti won't install on HP Pavillion

hello. i tried to install my MSI Geforce GTX 750 Ti into my HP Pavilion p7-1045.
the computer just freezes at the blue HP screen and starts beeping 5 times, and shuts off. power was not an issue either, since i sucessfully replaced my 250w power supply with a 600w. the power supply i upgraded my PC with was a RAIDMAX Cobra 600w Power Supply.
i tried to update my BIOS, but it didn't work. i tried using the hybrid bios switch, but that didn't work either.
any help would be appreciated

Quote from: flobelix on 19-January-15, 06:18:59
The bios of that old HP machine just includes an ME7 firmware but using a GTX7xx or later requires an ME8 firmware including bios. As you are not the first with such machine here it's a pretty sure thing that there is no update available. Still you can contact HP about it. Most likely though you can't use the card with that machine. It is not a matter of UEFI/GOP or legacy vbios.
i see... well, i have already contacted HP and they said there is nothing that can be done about it. i guess i will have to return the GPU....
looks like i should get a graphics card compatible with ME7 firmware. do you have any suggestions?

Issue with Power management MSI Gforce GTX 770

Hello,
I contact you since I have bought one month ago a GForce GTX 770
I do not have the serial Number but could havez a look at it quickly if needed
I have since the beginning recurrent issues with the graphic cards and require support.
System Windows 7 64 bits
Last official Pilots up to date 335.23
I also tryed the provided drivers 331.21 (9.18.13.3182 more precisely)
Issue
When the graphic cards is reauired high demands (in case of high GPU demand for games) the nvidia driver is crashing (nvlddmkm.sys). Sometimes windows recovers, sometimes not, the system is fully dead and only windows restore function could help restarting the system and restore stable driver set.

Sorry for the replacements of XML and slashes stuff but it can t validate and can't validate either the code tag...
Result
Impossible to play games such as Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls without having a crash every 5-15 min...
Impossible to run 3Dmark tests until the end. It somehow crashes sooner or later.
In low charge the driver never crash.
Tests I did
Based on this new computer (everything is new into it)
- Power supply seems to be the cause, thus i tested a more powerful one (520w to 700w) same result
- i changed the card of PCI express plug on the mother board which did not do anything
- I reinstalled fully win 7 and did the minimum installs such as antivirus and graphic drivers from nvidia. same result
- I updated Power supply windows settings to high performance in order to disable auto adaptative voltage from the system. same result
- I updated as well power supply nvidia option to best performances which did not solved the issue as well.
Tests I did not do, since they are intrusive
Update the Bios ? did not know if you have a more recent one
My bios version is NV282MS.3A0
Downclock the graphic card
I will soon extract the card to put it in another computer to validate that this the card[SLASH]pilot that is having issue:
What should I do to have a clear evidence of the issue which could be either the card itself, of the bios which does not manage properly the power consumption ?? How can I send you useful logs ? Is there is a diagnostic tool to provide you with better data to dig in ?
I am stucked and unable to use properly this nez configuration ...
Thanks in advance for your help
best regards

Okay, some more hints to graphic Card issue ...
- Tested qnd Confirmed with another Games GTA4 Same Crash
- Board Bios already up to date.
- GTX770 has been put into an old computer, and the new one got a HD5850

Note that both GTX770 tests have been done with same provided MSI drivers
Result
1 Old Computer with GTX770
Crash reproduced after a full 3D Mark
My idea is that the computer itself is old and do not ask so much the GPU to work. Hard to reach the full power requirement. It has also a small 1280x1024 screen. But problem finally reproduced... so Issue lies in the Graphic Card
2 New computer with old Radeon
3D Mark fully launched multiple time without any crash
Another hint saying Graphic Card has issue.
Now a few questions :
- Does the NVidia Bios flash changes the guarantee on it ? I mean the CG is new, I do not want to lose the guarantee.
Thanks a lot for your time.
Best regards

Hi there,
just bought a MSI Geforce GTX 660 TF 2GD5/OC with and Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 mainboard. Installed Windows 7 x64 without any problems. All the drivers work but when I try to install the Nvidia drivers it just says there isn't a compatible graphics card available. Upgrade my motherboards BIOS to 1708 which is the latest one.
