MSI 6800GT

a have a NX 6800GT-T2D256E that looks not like the other MSI 6800GT-T2D256E... on the MSI site is the VGA colored red, and has a big red cooler... But my 6800GT is greed and looks like a NVIDIA 6800GT reference card.. ??? is it a fake 6800GT one?

That copper cooler has one huge draw back... it uses thermal pads for the memory cooling, -AND- the GPU temp overheats the memory, because of the ONE LARGE sink design... I think... I have noticed more and more of these red PCB MSI 6800GTs with this cooler and no one seems to get above 1070 or so on the memory... I am so going to go with the new Vantech or Logisys VGA copper cooler and ram-sinks for this... this is a good card! it's got Samsung memory on it and my cards don't OC worth anything... and I think it's this cooler... also, the mosfets have a large thermal pad between them and the copper sink on my cards... and they run HOT... I can't help but to think that is not the best way to make good use of that copper cooler... thermal pads are just not great heat conductors... hmmm... well, anyways... I am thinking about stripping the coolers off of my PNY 6800GT and trying them on my MSI... it's got the reference cooler on it... and it OC's like a BEAST. lol.
I was alll psyched that this copper cooler would be awesome... but am pretty bummed that it's got thermal pads...and it's noisy as hell at the all but the fastest fan speed. what is up with that. wow... anyways. I hope others have having better luck with these cards than I am.

MSI 6800gt problems

Last week i baught a MSI 6800gt to replace my old mx440. All was going well for the first day however when i went to play any games or anything the next day my computer would crash( this appears to be a result of the screen resolution changing). I got the latest drivers off the msi site which didnt fix it so i got the lates ones from the nvidia website which had no effect either. I also did a compelte re-install of windows but it did nothing.
When i first put the card in i could run all the 3dmark03 tests however now it gets to the cpu tests and displays an error message(cant rermember the exact message). Also I cant load up any farcry levels( computer restarts its self) and in brothers in arms if i try to change the screen resolution it either turns my monitor off and i cant turn it back on without restsrting or makes the screen flicker black and orange. If i do manage to get the game to run when i exit out windows stays on the same resolution as i was playing and if i try to change it it tells me i have to restart the computer.
Can anyone help me. Did i get a dodgy card? or does it have compatiblity issues with my motherboard? im fresh out of ideas

Im now running a new motherboard - ABIT NF7-S not that this has helped matters. This involved formatting and re-installing windows, with the latest nforce drivers and graphics drivers(v71.89) all was good for the first time i ran my computer but after re-booting it was back to its same old problems.
I tryed my card in my mates computer (A64 3500+, 1Gig Geil RAM, Antec True480 PSU) who also has a MSI 6800GT which worked fine with both mine and his cards. His card however wouldnt work in my computer. After putting the card back into my computer i disconnected my 2nd HDD, Case fans and Hardcano, put my CPU back to stock settings, and pulled out my VT and network cards, all of which had no effect. This is driving me up the wall, all i want to do is to be able to play Farcry and HL2 and it wont work Interestingly enough i can play DX7 games with no issues however it appears that anything using DX8 or 9 wont work. HL2 turns my monitor off and farcry restarts my computer. I have even tryed changing resolutions and refresh rates of my monitor (Samsung 753DFX) not that it made any difference.
If anyone is having similar problems and managed to fix them can you let me know how.

MSI 6800GT-T2D256E and power problem?

I've got ASUS A8N-Deluxe mobo, Nexus 400W PU and new, bright and shiny MSI 6800GT-T2D256E
And I get the damned:
"The NVIDIA system sentinel is reporting that the nvidia powered graphics card is not receiving sufficient power. To protect your hardware from potential damage or causing a potential system lockup, the graphics processor has lowered its performance to a level that allows continued safe operations."
message...
Tried diffrent lines from PU, different drivers, nothing. I get the message right after login.
One funny little thing: there's a sticker on the power cable that came with the card (close to the 2x3 connector) that says:
For use with RADEON X800 series graphics card only.
Could this be the problem or are the pwr cables the same for 6800's and X800's? Card works the same with or without pwr cable.
Looking from the left side of an open case (w cable attced to the card) there are two wires going into the leftmost holes of the 2x3 connector - yellow (top) and black (bottom).
Here're the PSU specs

I have 20pin and 4 pin pwr connectors connected to the mobo.
Any ideas?

Update:
Tried HEC 475W psu - didn't help. Went back to the store, they tested the card and it seemed to run just fine.
So it's not the card nor the power cord problem. Guys at the strore said - get better psu. But I've tried better psu?!
So I threw out everything exept HDD - no luck.
This brings me to another question. I keep noticing peaple talking not just about watts but amps. My Nexus and that
HEC I tested produce 14 and 15 amps respectively.
Sadly in a small country stores don't keep expensive psu's on they shells. So I should order one. I want to be sure before that.
Any comments on the amperage issue?

[GeForce 6] I'm Cheated/receive wrong specs...MSI 6800GT, a Problem...what should i do...???

I recently bought a graphics card which is the MSI 6800GT...after i browse aroung the net i found out that MSI has flawlessly manufactured the card by putting an NV40 gpu instead of NV45...

MSI Responds Here...
MSI Will Replaced the Cards.....
Confusing & Confusion
What should i do....Should i go straight away to Cycom and ask them about replacing my cards....or should i contact MSI distro here in Malaysia...which is just to be Enlight....

antonio_zth,
MSI sells over a million Vid Cards a Month. There were a total of 350 vid cards with the wrong Pipelines and Vertex Units. I had one of them, so that only leaves 349 of them out there. By now all the Vid Cards in question should have been sent in to MSI and swapped out.
I would run Riva Tuner and see how many Pipelines and Vertex Units your Vid Card, if you have 16 Pipelines and 6 Vertex Units, then you have the correct card.
Take Care,

Counterfeit MSI 6800GT?

Hello,
I ordered an MSI 6800GT with 2 DVI ports from Tekheads.co.uk a couple weeks ago. I received the card in a retail box, and it looked just like the design on the box, and on the MSI webpage. After using it for a couple days it was apparent that there was a fault in the card. I would get crazy texture/graphical corruption after a few minutes of normal use in many games.
I returned the card to Tekheads, and they finally got around to testing it and I was issued a replacement which arrived today. What they did was take the exact same box that I sent back to them, and they put in a new card which has an Nvidia reference design cooler on it.
I immediately thought they had just thrown in any old 6800GT in there and hoped I wouldn't notice or wouldn't care. I've contacted Tekheads and they say the card was received as a replacement from MSI directly.
Is there any truth to this or is Tekheads full of ? Truth or not, I'm not happy with getting this reference design cooler over MSI's all copper solution.
Thanks,
Adrian

To users of MSI 6800GT running doom3

does any of u guys experience a form of horizontal pixellation/distortion which occurs when u move the character from left to right during the game? I notice this and although its not bad to a point which makes the game unplayable .. it is still visible... it doesnt occur when not moving ... is this normal ? updated vga drivers n bios to the latest already and also installed the patch for the game

[GeForce PCe] MSI 6800GT PCIe overclocking blocked HELP!!!!

I have 2 MSI 6800 GT in SLI mode. I tried to overclock them but the clock seems blocked: when I use Riva Tuner or the driver's control panel and I try to overclock it says me that driver has not passed the test; so I tried to downclock them but it says me the same thing... I tried to do that with many driver versions (71.22,71.84,77.76,77.77) but the result was the same.
My hardware configuration is:
-DFI Lanparty Nf4 SLI-Dr
-AMD Athlon 64 4000
-2*512 MB RAM Kingstone ultra low latency ddr 400
-Maxtor Diamond Max 10 300 GB SATA
-Enermax Noisetaker 600W
I have windows xp professional corporate service pack 1
How can I do to unlock them?

As for overclocking you can use and or try COOL BITS
May be the car needs replacement wheels ?

MSI 6800GT-No Copper HS, No Fan Switch!!

Hi...I just received my MSI NX 6800 GT from ZipZoomFly. Am looking at
it and nowhere can be found that fan switch thats supposed to be on the card. Its supposed to be on the top side (looking down from top view at it when installed in the AGP slot), correct? Am I missing something here? It says "made in China" and P/N 8966-020. Does somebody have a picture of what the fan switch looks like. Help! Thanks, Siffert

MSI doesn't sell video cards directly to the consumer...their distributors sell cards to the consumer...ZipZoomFly is a distributor of MSI video cards, among others as well I'm sure...distributors are under rules and regulations of how they must sell mfg's merchandise (this has been the rule for as long as I've been in the business)...however, not all distributors follow all of the rules all of the time...I too have been a recipient of hardware that was NOT as pictured or described only to find out that the distributor has a clause in their selling agreement to the consumer that they reserve the right to ship similar or better products instead of what is originally listed...
Some distributors also sell OEM buyout lots and usually do it under an "AS IS" clause or "NO REFUNDS" clause...this is something to be REALLY careful about when doing internet buying cause you can and will get bit when you least expect it...usually cause you didn't read the fine print...I've done it as well...I'll do it again I'm sure...
Make sure that you know the company that you're buying from, their policies of sales, etc...that way when you screw up or they screw up then you have recourse to get your cash back or exchange the product for the correct one...
MSI cards are now mfg'd in China and they've moved their production facility within the past few months...I'm sure there will be glitches and humps until they settle in...I do agree tho that this is no excuse for shipping the wrong hardware...

MSI 6800GT 256Mb AGP, Lines on CS Source

I have noticed while playing Counter Strike Source with 8x anistropic filtering and 4x anti antialiaising, I seem to get a pair of lines like the anistropic filtering is not working properly. I'm using nvidia driver's 71/89 as the lattest ones 77.72 don't work with my TV card as colours are all washed out, Is this a problem with this card or are they all like this.

Ok i think i've read this right,
OUTPUT +5V ~ / 24A, +3.3V ~ / 26A,
355.4 MAX. +12V ~ / 18A, -12V ~ / 0.2A,
+5VSB ~ / 1.8A, +12VSP ~ / 1.2A,
+5V & +3.3V TOTAL OUTPUT POWER CAN'T EXCEED 175W
+12V & +12VSP TOTAL OUTPUT POWER CAN'T EXCEED 216W
What do you think do i have enough juice for my NX 6800GT TD256 ?

WOW!!MSI 6800GT arrived today

After a hard days work what do i find waiting on my door step??A huge box containing a brandnew MSI NX6800GT 256MB graphicscard,with shakey hands i unwrapped this much awaited piece of hardware.
I,ve been waiting 5 weeks for this day as i live in New Zealand and being a small country of only 4 million people we were at the bottom of the shipment list i guess,but it been well worth the wait,I installed the card(has a red PCB and and the copper cooling and fan speed switch)booted up the pc and proceded to benchmark using 3dmark03 and scored a healthy 12996 which really surprised me as i thought my pc would limit some performance(athlonxp2800+,epox8rda+nforce2mobo,1gig cheap pc2700 ram,cheap thermaltake purepower 420w powersuppy,21inch sony trinitron flatdisplay,audigy sound hooked up to 5.1 sound sytem)gonna upgrade cpu,mobo,ram &power when ican afford it.
I,ve upgraded from the gecube X800pro which was also very good,but this MSI/Invidia product is truly awesome ,my games are looking and playing so much better(BFvietnam,bf1942,farcry,doom3,homeworld2,CS:source beta)
Welldone you guys and girls that built such a fine graphicscard,and to those people that have yet to upgrade there card try the nx6800gt you won,t be disappointed .

MSI 6800Ultra Bios at MSI 6800GT

Hi,
has someone flashed the ultra bios on a gt? I know that the ram timings of the gt are more aggressive but with the orginal gt bios at 1100MHz it seems to slow down after a while. Also the gpu decreases performance at frequencies above 390MHz. I've alredy done a vmod to 1.4V but still the same problem. And whats about the throttle feature of the ultra? Does it work against overheating of the mosfet's? Would it be better to use the ultra bios instead of the vmod for the purpose of longer lifetime?

Interesting. I tried the newest GT bios before this Ultra bios, but I was only able to run AGP 4x with it, so I switched back to the Ultra bios.
I'll have to keep looking out for a better one

Will it work on my my VIA KM266 motherboard with AGP 2.0 4x?

If G. Card is downwords compat. with 4x, it should. As you can see in my sig. I'm running an 8x AGP in my 4x AGP Mobo.
