MSI 7950 Twin Frozr 3 3GD non o/c vs boost v2?

I really want to buy a new MSI card but I'm confused because of different SKUs. I can buy the non overclocked card for the same price as the v2 boost from a local computer store. Or online with the chance of getting a different SKU than ordered . Can someone please tell me if the non o/c card will perform and overclock as good compared to the boost v2.

Nobody can tell you. Oc depends on the individual sample. Could be some non oc model reaches better oc results than an oc model or vice versa. Only thing you can be sure of are the factory clocks. Of course a card with boost (= auto oc) will be faster than a card without and same base clockrate.
Also I can't find a non oc boost card. V2 doesn't feature boost. The only 7950 with boost seems to be R7950 TF 3GD5/OC BE.

MSI 7950 Twin Frozr HDMI output to TV help needed

Hi, i got an MSI 7950 Twin Frozr last week and it works great. However, i'd like to be able to extend my display to my TV with HDMI cable (brand new and works when plugged to monitor).
It seems i get no signal. In ccc (or Device Manager), my TV doesn't appear.
I have got it working a while back with a GT8800.
Could this be due to unsupported res? frequency?
Any help appreciated!
Cheers

if it isn't showing up in CCC or windows display manager then either your tv isnt giving a connection signal or the cable your using has a broken cable inside that the monitor doesn't use but the TV doe's
first get a new hi quality HDMI cable from a good maker like JVC to rule out that the Cable isn't defective (it may be new but it could still be broken as it happens)!
also what brand and model is the TV? (if its an LG there prone to having problems sending a signal of what it is to a graphics card)
also try to clean the hdmi port on the TV as it may have something contaminating the connection!

How to determine different versions 7950 Twin Frozr?

Hi all,
I have got myself an MSI 7950 Twin Frozr and I am really happy with it thus far. I had a question though, in time I want to get a second one for crossfire and I read that there are different versions. A OC version, a BE version, a V2, with a 7950 board, a 7970 board etc. How can I determine which one I got so my second card will be the same?
Many thanks in advance!

I have got the 7950 OC Boost edition, apparently on a 7970 board (it has a 6 pin and 8 pin connector). Do all the OC BE editions have a 7970 board, and if not, would it be a problem if I pare the 7970 one with one with a 7950 board?

MSI Radeon HD 7950 Twin Frozr V2/OC BIOS update

Have there been any BIOS updates compatible with my card? Perhaps adding Boost or (more importantly) Windows 8 UEFI features, or bug fixes? My BIOS is dated 2012-05-24, and I very much suspect there have been updates with Win8 features since that date. My card is the MSI Radeon HD 7950 Twin Frozr V2/OC, which I believe is the second revision of the MSI Twin Frozr HD 7950 line, before the Boost editions. It is, I believe, the only model in the line which used an HD 7970 pcb instead of an HD 7950 pcb. I would appreciate the latest BIOS, and if it wouldn't be too much trouble, a changelog?
My BIOS, which I have captured using GPU-Z, can be found here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/jeq0pt
S/N: 602-V277-05SB1205142483
Also, if I do choose to flash, which position should my dual BIOS switch be set to?
Thanks very much.
Edit: Wow, got my serial number completely wrong the first time.

7950 twin frozr on 7970 pcb

I've been reading on other forum sites that the 7950 twin frozr was built on 7970 PCB with 8-pin and 6-pin power connectors. Can anyone confirm if all of these cards made recently come with the 7970 PCB or if just some of the cards are coming with the 7970 PCB?

The R7950 Twin Frozr 3GD5/(OC) are built on a custom MSI PCB. It uses two 6-pin power connectors. Never heard of a 7950 Twin Frozr on a 7970 pcb. Maybe it were little numbers of rev. 1 or so but don't expect that from a new bought retail product.

Requesting UEFI VBIOS for My Two 7950 Twin Frozr Cards

MSI,
I'd like to request the UEFI VBIOS for my two 7950 Twin Frozr Cards. The serial numbers are as follows:

#2: 602-V277-17SB1305095737
Let me know if you need to know any additional info to provide the correct VBIOS file(s).
Thanks,
Justin

MSI R7950 Twin Frozr III Temp Issues

I have been having issues with my video card (MSI R7950 Twin Frozr III) under load and previously even while idle with temperatures being way higher than they should be. Browsed many forums and it was suggested that I change the thermal paste, which fixed part of the issue (The video card under "normal" load went from 95C to 75-84C while at 90 to 100% load the temperatures rises back up to the 90s). Before changing the thermal paste, the idle temperatures were around 60, under regular load a little over 90 as stated previously.
The video card runs perfectly otherwise which has me thinking it's most likely a problem related to the heatsink and cooler itself.
I'd personally rather avoid RMA if possible so my question is, is it possible for a cooler/heatsink to cause such a high temperature issue and if so, would purchasing an aftermarket cooler fix the problem or could there be other issues leading to the high temperatures other than the cooler/heatsink itself?
Thank you for your time.
In case this is relevant in any way:
Intel i5 750 OC'd @ 3.74GHz
ASUS P7P55D-E Pro
Antec EarthWatts 750W +3.3V@25A, +5V@25A, +12V1@40A, +12V2@40A, +12V3@40A, +12V4@40A, -12V @ 0.5A, [email protected]
CORSAIR XMS3 2x4GB CMX8GX3M2B1600C9
WD Caviar Black 1TB 7200RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit.
Catalyst 12.4

After flashing to this vbios, I seem to have gained performance, but the card also seems to be running a bit more hot which could be affected by me being in a different area in the game or slightly higher temperature in my room around the computer, etc.
I haven't tried changing drivers lately, had before when I first was faced with this temperature problem (Have been busy for a while and never bothered trying to figure the issue or try reapplying thermal paste to see if it would fix it until I got time for it recently). I tried both AMD's official drivers, the drivers I had at the time for my 4890 as well and the MSI auto-update software, none of which seemed to fix the heat problem.
If you believe I should try drivers now and see if it can fix the problem once again I don't mind trying.

The 7950 Twin Frozr 3GD5 uses a custom board design (besides better quality) made for more oc ability. Therefor it is able to consume more power than a reference board only having 2 x 6 Pin
The PEG Slot will allow up to 75 W power consumption while a PCIe 6-Pin will add up to 75 W. So reference board with 2 x 6 pin will be a allowed to consume 225 W power in total (75 W + 2 x 75 W)
An 8-pin PCIe will allow 150 W power consumption what allows up to 300 W in total of power consumption resulting in more headroom for oc on your card.
Yup correct, just remember to add other hardwares like 2500K with 95watt TDP, HDD, Optical Drive and other minor parts like fans

MSI R7950 Twin Frozr 3GD5 V2 or V2/OC?

I just bought a MSI R7950 Twin Frozr 3GD5 V2/OC. That should have a standard core speed of 880Hz Now when I look in "AMD Vision control center -> Information -> hardware"
Then I see that my core speed is 800Mhz it should be 880Mhz. Do I have a V2 or a V2/OC? serial:602-V277-06SB1210136267

MSI GTX660 twin frozr issue

I just bought MSI GTX660 twin frozr (S/N 602-v287-04SB1208179614) and my problem started to have random restarts (few times a week) at idle (while browsing or while PC being idle), event log has nothing just kernel power lost :(
Monitors just go off (i have 32inc LCD on HDMI and 22inc on DVI/RGB) PC turn off and restarts... thats all, did not test with just one display????
I have:
Asus p8p67 B2 rev bios 2303 (3xxx bioses need B3 revision of the chipset)
8GB of ram
2500K
Windows 7 x64
700w LC hyperion PSU
latest NV drivers (clean install)
Before i had GTX460 no problems at all
Also under load PC is 100% stable (memtest, prime, 3d mark, cuda memory test ect)
Also GTX660 is new and has the latest bios 80.06.10.00.15

That this psu is sold as a 700w although it is a 600/630w is a quality statement speaking for itself (means bad quality).
Also there are two versions of that psu and none is at 50A on +12V:
LC Power Hyperion LC8700 V2.2 is a split rail with just 18 A each.
600W (Peak Load: 700W)
+3.3V: 30A
+5V: 28
+12V 1: 18A
+12V 2: 18A
+12V 3: 18A
+12V 4: 18A
-12V: 0.8A
LC8700II V2.3 Hyperion is a single rail
630W (Peak Load: 700W)
+3,3V   25A
+5V   25A
+12V   45A
The LC8700II therefor looks a bit better. Which one do you have?
i have version 1.0 yeah i know they faked inside is CWT 600-650W but still its near ~50A i think real max is 46A and peak 50+... 700w CWT is 56A...
atm i switched other PCI-e power connector will see in future, so far ~20h no restarts
Also so far i faund few forum posts with restarts problems for kepler GPUs, and both ppl have 2 monitor setup as me, one fixed with switching PSU cables

Request:UEFI / GOP Vbios-MSI R7850 twin Frozr-2GD5/OC Radeon HD 7850

I would like to request a UEFI / GOP Vbios for MSI R7850 Twin Frozr-2GD5/OC Radeon HD 7850 if one is available, my current vbios does not support UEFI / GOP. Thanks.
serial number:602-v273-050B1303096145
Gpu-z: h**p://gpuz.techpowerup.com/13/10/29/9wg.png
Would I just use the installer that is on this site to flash the bios, any help appreciated.
Thanks

Thankyou very much Svet,
The card and operating system(8.1) works perfect now.
What I did was, extract the files you gave me, and downloaded the ATIWinflash program,
then I put the .150 file in the same folder, then renamed the .150 file to a .rom file,
and used ATIWinflash to flash vbios(too lazy to go to the store), only took about 10 secs, then rebooted, and no more watermark :-),
Thanks again for your help.
I am glad I found this site or I would probably be just living with the watermark( Then again I don't think so, it was driving me crazy)

Request: Latest UEFI / GOP vBIOS for MSI R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC

Hello there!
I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit and would like to upgrade to the latest UEFI / GOP vBIOS for my MSI R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC please.
I ran GPU-Z and have posted my current vBIOS here:
stoguild.info/pitcairn.zip
Thank you in advance!

No, that's not the S/N. If there's no other sticker that's bad. According to your provided vbios this gop one should be right:
>>TV274MH.100<<
Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0). Then unpack the previously provided archive and put the included file (TV274MH.100) on that stick. Rename TV274MH.100 to TV274MH.rom. Put the atiflash.exe also on the USB stick. Now boot from the stick. Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 TV274MH.rom [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios.
