Msi 290X Gaming Bios question?

I just got a used 290X Gaming for $350 off Amazon. Do the 290X boards usually already come with a UEFI bios or will I have to request it?
Thanks....

The 4G Gamings Bios switch is at the top of the card near the external connectors, the uefi mode bios is the "2" position on the switch, which is toward the rear/power connectors position. Its a pretty tiny switch so make sure your careful and have a good light.

Problem with my MSI 290x gaming 4g performance in unigine valley benchmark.

First im dutch(netherlands) so sorry for my maybe bad english.
My system is:
Asus p8z77 v deluxe mb
intel 3770k cpu
16gb ram 1866 Corsair
2x ssd 256 gb OCZ
MSI 290x gaming
win7 64bit ultimate.
When i came home with my card i removed my old 7970 and replaced it with my new card.
Put some programs up like gpu-z cpu-z realtemp ext.
Then run Unigine-valley Benchmark with OC tool MSI at 1040 option.
My cpu at 4.2ghz OC
Score Unigine valley v1.0: 61.1 fps-score2558-min fps 30.3/max fps 112.8
Custom settings at 1920-1080 and ultra 8x aa windowed.
Seems ok result.
Now to problem i have.
So next i did (dumb me hehe) i try OC my CPU with All-suit II from ASUS to OC cpu extreme mode which stress test untill stable clock is found.
Got a crash bluescreen and then after few attemps stable 4.3.
Then did new benchmark and my score was alot lower and nomatter what i try my 290x did not pass 60fps any more and score dropped to 2100?
3dmark firestrike gave first time score of 9655 and after my disaster with cpu failed attemp 9200.
My card is stuck at 60fps max it won't get any higher?
The GPU-Z also show PCI-E 3.0 X16@ X1 1.1and when i activate render i see it only change to x16 1.1 i never see gen 3.0.
CPU-Z info motherboard also only pci-express link with x1 and x16
My questions is how can o solve this problem it seems my motherbaord don't reconize my videocard anymore?
Also posible that something with the OC attemp CPU broke something?
I also try change from AUTO to GEN3 in bios but then i get a blackscreen when i boot up it stays backscreen, have to change it switch videocards so i can see my boot again and go into BIOS.
Im at a lost here, hope one of you know a solution or whats my problem?
Hope ive supply enough info im bit of a newbie at this sorry for that.
Thanks in advance.

>>Clear CMOS<< of your board and retry.

Msi 290x gaming - black screen crash

Hi
Recently i bought MSi 290x gaming . After a day i has got first black screen freeze. Only way to turn on computer was unplug it and connect again after 10-20 sec. I try to use different drivers but nothing helped. Sometimes pc worked fine for 2-4 days and them 3-5 crashes in hour. It never happened in a game . always in windows . I tried different psu and nothing change .
I tried msi afterburner , set voltage to constant. change gpu memory clock ..... but nothing changed :(
I make decision to RMA card to the shop but they just send me msg that everything was fine :( any ide what i should do ?
AMD fx-8350
Asus formula z
XFX Black Edition 850W Fully Modular 80+ Gold Power
2x 8GB 1866MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM HyperX Fury Black Series
Now im running my old gtx 460 and everything looks fine :((
Any advice?
I should maybe try to sell card and buy something else like gtx970 but i just spend 270 pounds and im at least not happy .... huge disappointment

Not much to try then. Make sure bios of your board is latest and check general system stability with prime95: http://www.mersenne.org/download/

My machine: amd fx6300 3.5 ghz
gskill 2x4 GB rjpsawx 1866
samsung 850 evo
psu Seasonic P1000 80 plus platinum
I overclocked cpu to 4.5ghz, HTlink @2400, ram xmp 1866 1.5vol stable
My temperature when fulload is 60*
But this main locked bus ratio of cpu/nb is 10, i can't change bus ratio. My NB frenquence is @2000
When i change cpu is phenom ii x4 955be, i can change cpu/nb, oc that to 2600, so fine.
I think that the bios of 970 gaming not good. I try all version bios of msi 970 gaming but i get the same result.

Msi 970 gaming bios issue

I have update bios for msi 970 gaming to v22.3
But after this update, the usb 3.0 port of the main not work
Can you help me

Quote from: JLio01 on 12-June-15, 07:26:09
So you keyboard doesn't work with the usb 3.0 port either? All usb devices don't work with these particular ports? Which BIOS version did you update from? using what way?
Try download the VIA usb3:
http://www.msi.com/support/mb/970-GAMING.html#down-driver&Win8.1 64
in the usb 2.0 port, it working fine. I use bios v22.e from msi 970 gaming webpage. My Via usb3 is V4.90a newest. Usually, when boot to windows, the usb 3.0 not work.

Reference 290X to MSI 290X OC Driver Question

I have the 13.12 WQHL installed and am swapping the Sapphire Reference 290X for the MSI 290X OC.
Do I need to uninstall the driver, swap cards and then reinstall the driver or can I just swap the cards?

Swapping should work with the installed driver. You can try removing the driver in safemode using >>Driver Fusion<< and reinstalling a current driver after reboot in case of problems with the new card installed.

Hmm? Wow. That's odd that something IS indeed different enough that those BIOS doesn't work on your card but does on mine. There must have been some revisions made on the physical board or something in the firmware hardware or something. ??
How old is your card? I just got mine in the last 3 weeks and though stock can sit around at suppliers for weeks, experience dictates that because stock is a 'revolving door', often the actual age of a component is somewhat relevant to when it is purchased.
I simply wouldn't try the Lightning BIOS for many reasons. Good advice and good to know either way.
I'm not willing to risk an expensive card but I've read of others who have flashed an HIS and Powercolor to an ASUS BIOS. Wonder if things like that are possible and what are the potential implications? I do have an old(er) 7970 than may be a good experimental device.

Mine is SLIGHTLY different...
Edit: I managed to flash V308MH.111 over V308MH.160 but it black screened as I got into Windows.. Since our cards have the same release date I thought maybe they were the same after all...
Edit2: I know it sounds like a no brainer but don't EVER EVER flash a lightning vBIOS on the gaming edition, screen wouldn't receive signal anymore. I managed to reflash the stock vBios thanks to MSI's genius 2-bios switch solution :D
Edit3: I tried flashing MH.100, same as 111, black screen in Windows

MSI-6730 SIS655 Bios question?

I recently purchased the MSI6730-SIS655 mobo
I set the cpu/clock setting to auto, when it boots
it says ",1.2mhz".
If I try to set them manually here are the options
under the multiplier settings.
H/W Trap
H1.0x
H2.0x
H3.0x
H4.0x
H5.0x
H6.0x
H7.0x
H8.0x
H9.0x
I0.0x
I1.0x
I2.0x
I3.0x
I4.0x
I5.0x
0.0x
Are these normal? I was expecting to see:
1.0x
2.0x
thru like 26.0x
I flash the BIOS, but still got same result.
I have a P4 2.4
Thanks for any help.
Mike
I am about to take it back, but thought I try here first.

If you can return it that would be the best choice. That mobo has a lot of problems, just look at all the posts. Not all MSI fault. Other brands with that same SIS chip set have similar problems. The problem you are having looks like they left out the multipliers in the bios because all production intel cpu are locked so there is no use for them. The unlocked cpu like you have are so rare it is hard to tell which boards have multipliers (hit or miss). I think you would have better chance with intel chip set based boards but am not sure. If you are looking for a high end board the canterwood chip set looks real good.

Current BIOS

Does anyone know if the latest BIOS is supposed to fix fan control options? I did get the bios but from 14.1 up I cannot control my fans. But the game Archeage is really buggy on 13.12 and my card runs pretty hot before the fans start up.

thx!

Use the attached.
Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0).
Then unpack the previously provided archive (161.rar) and put the included file (TV308MH.161) on that stick.
Rename TV308MH.161 to 161.rom. Put the atiflash.exe also included in the archive on the USB stick too. Now boot from the stick.
Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 161.rom [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios.
