MSI 8800GT cards on PCI Express 1.0a mainboards

Hello everyone
I hope it's the right forum here to ask that.
I read that many if not all 8800GT graphic cards have problems with older mainboards that use PCI Express 1.0a (like in my case the epox EP-9NPA+SLi). With the right BIOS on the graphics card they work flawlessly however. Now I wonder: Are the 8800GT from MSI equipped with such a BIOS?
Thanks in advance,
Dennis

Is that a 100% will work kind of "should be fine"?
I'm a bit afraid of buying a card that won't work in the end and will cause a lot of hassle...
Well can tell you for sure that NX8800GT-T2D512E-OC(http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1343&maincat_no=130&cat2_no=136) works in K8N Neo4-F (PCB 3.0){PCI-E 1.0a) (http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=249&maincat_no=1)
works like a charm.

MSI Gaming 9 AC - PCI Express Slots Position

Hey guys,
Just recently I finished setting up my new machine (even got a problem while updating the BIOS on the mobo, which has been solved with the support from folks of this forum =D) and then after I while using it, I realize that the space between the first and second PCI express slot is just so small, it's my first time running a SLI machine, got two GTX 970 G1 Gaming from Gigabyte and they are so close to each other that after installing some monitoring programs, I can check that the temperature on the first card (the one with no room to breath) goes almost instantaneously to 79ºC~80ºC when playing a high demanding game while the second stays around 64ºC~65ºC, with both cards running at 100% fan speed.
And since the standard thermal limit of the GTX 970 is 79ºC, the gpu clock goes way down from almost 1400 mhz to 1100 mhz to cool it for a while and then boost it again, turn it down to cool it again (and again, again again), there is a noticeable difference of fps while this is happening so I don't know if that is something that is suppose to happen on SLI system or if the cards are really too close to each other, I have check some other motherboards and even the Gaming 7 AC has those two first slots with more space between then.
Is not possible at all to use the third slot to SLI on this mobo to make it work on 8x? There is a solution or some sort of modification to address this? I attached a pics to illustrate it better too.
Thanks!

Thanks for answering guys, my case is a Corsair Obsidian 750D, so there's plenty of space and also two front in-take fans and one exhausting on the back (I also have a Corsair H100i cooler for the CPU and when gaming, set the fans to maximum speed), in some cases I see almost 20ºC of difference between both cards, yesterday I set the temperature limit a little bit above the standard 79ºC to 82º and while the main card was running on constant 82ºC, the second was somewhere between 62 to 64 degrees, I'm kinda worried about this temps and how it could affect the cards, if they are heating way beyond they should and it if could impact the durability of the physical components, cause a sudden malfunction or literally fry something. Am I worrying too much about it?
It's a shame that it seems to be really difficult to find a XPower AC Z97 board here in Brazil, MSI could have also leave a little bit more of space like the Gaming 7 has, there's a technical reason on why they leave the PCI slots closer to each other on the 9 comparing it to 7?

How to setup usb card in pci express slot

Do you already have and tried it? going by what you read?
Do you want a recommendation on a card?

MSI P55 GD-80 PCI express 8x problem

Just got one of these boards have updated to latest bios 1.c
When I use the middle pci express slot GPU-z reports my single card is in 8x mode when I change it to the top pci-e slot GPU-z reports it how it should be @ x16
Is the middle slot pci-e 8x only I thought it was meant to be 2x 16 slots and the bottom slot is 8x ?
Is this a bios issue ? anyone on same bios and their middle slot runs 16x ?
Thanks in advance to anyone that helps.

I am using ONE graphics card in ONE pci-e slot ? did you even read my post ?
Yes i do, but seems you're not...
Only 1st PCI-E slot can run @16 and only when others are empy.
All others PCI-E slots will be @8 max with regard less how many cards are installed.

Will NI Offer CANbus card for PCI Express

This is really a question for marketing. Will NI offer a CANBus interface for the upcoming PCI Express slot, (or Expresscard slot) that is supposed to replace PCI and PCIMICA on future PCs? If so, when? If not - a USB to CANBus instead?

Hi PPH,
please understand that those kinds of things cannot be discussed or disclosed in a public forum. You might want to talk to your local field sales engineer (or local branch office) about requirements you have that current National Instruments products do not fulfill.

Re: MSI Z97 U3 Plus PCI express 3.0 issues with evga gtx 770

if you disable gen3 in bios setup, does the it works fine when its installed in the pci-e 3.0 port?

It says V10.3, 3/28/2013. I'll have to flash and get back to you afterwards. System ran about 2 hours at idle, I looked at it, rebooted it to get into BIOS, rebooted again to get the revision confirmed on POST, and then I shut it down. After the fan...

Z68A-G45 (G3): BIOS screen unreadable on PCI express graphics card

I have a Z68A-G45 (G3) board with Intel Core i3-2320T processor. BIOS version is E7750IMS v11.2.
When entering the BIOS setup screen with DEL, everything is fine when the display is connected to the motherboard HDMI port.
When I plug in my MSI Nvidia 8500GT-based PCI express video card and connect the display to its HDMI (or DVI) port, the BIOS screen is corrupt and almost unreadable. I can see some characters and images -- the BIOS is there, I can see the temperature readout -- but navigation is very difficult. This problem occurred with BIOS version 11.0; I just flashed to 11.2 and the problem persists.
Here's what it looks like
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Steve

In case anybody's curious it turns out the issue was specific to the card. I tried a different PCIe card and the BIOS screen showed up fine.
So finally I ditched my old reliable nVidia card and used the Sandy Bridge integrated graphics instead. No problems so far.

Ok, so now I need a new eSATA PCI Express Card for my Mac Pro

I have a Seagate eSata External Drive which comes with an eSATA PCI card.
The http://www.cwol.com/serial-ata/esata-pci-express-1-ext-1-int.htm site recommends this card: eSATA PCI Express Card - 1 eSATA II and 1 Internal SATA II Port, but it doesn't specify whether it works on a Mac Pro - any suggestions?
Mac Pro Quad Core 2.66 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi
I think the Radeon 9800 is certainly the most powerful graphics card you could buy for your G4 and would do everything you need.
Just be aware there are at least 3 different Mac versions though.
There's a G5 version, the Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Special Edition, which is 8X AGP and has 256MB VRAM.
There's an older Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition, which is 2X/4X AGP and has 128MB VRAM.
Finally there's a newer Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition, which is 2X/4X AGP and has 256MB VRAM.
So long as you get one of the 2X/4X AGP versions, either with 128MB or 256MB VRAM, it should work fine.
It's perhaps also worthwhile mentioning they do require a separate internal power connection, although this can be taken from a hard drive molex power connector. Also they have a cooling fan which can be noisy.
I hope this helps.

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI-Express) + Vista 32bit an media pla

Hi folks,Maybe someone here can help me with this issue, I recently bought a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7. Sound Card - OEM (PCI-Express), it arri'ved with the cd with software and drivers on it and i installed it into my vista 32bit without any problems.On rebooting my sound was working normally and as far as i could tell all was great untill that is i went to play some mp3 using windows media player, wmp kept telling me it couldnt play the file type then i tried to play a wma file an got the same thing, basically almost all audio types will no longer play in wmp. I rolled back the driver to use the microsoft driver (high defination audio device) and everything is playing in media player again.Only now i cant use the software suppiled with the card. Anyone have any idea how to use the creative driver and get wmp to play properly thanks in advance.
(in addition) after some messing around with various settings i discovered that this seems to be caused by the sb enhancements, when i disable them in speaker properties wmp plays as it should, althought i am rather disappointed that i have to disable the features on the card inorder to get it to work properly.

Hi Orion,
You might want to get in touch with support to enquire about the CD.

PCI Express and Soundblast

I just got a new machine that has PCI Express card slots in it. I am new to this technology so I have a total noob question. Can you use soundblaster cards in a PCI Express slot? And on a larger scheme, can you use PCI cards in PCI Express slots?
Thanks,
-murk

As everybody said... No. PCI-express and PCI are not really compatible.
And I'd like to reply on the posts regarding PCI-express soundcards. If any card like that would be produced, I guess we'd need mainboards with more PCI-E slots than we have now. Now it's all PCI-E on GPU's and 2 PCI-E slots for crossfire/SLI setu
ps.
Gi'ven I want to have a decent gaming machine in the foreseeable future, I'd need atleast 3 if not 4 PCI-E slots. Something like a Physics processing unit comes to mind, 2 GPU's and a soundcard... which would also conclude in a lot of users should be upgrading their systems to a higher substandard then now. Upgrading is fun and all, but if they people can't afford to upgrade that often, most companies would stay pretty low.
That's just my 2 cents. But seeing the developments running wild regarding computers I wouldn't be too surprised if we'd see it happen soon.

Does PCI Express Video Card compatible on a MSI KM4M Motherboard

Does a PCI Express NVDIA Video Card (8500GT 512MB/128Bit/DDR2) compatible on a MSI KM4M Series Motherboard (System Model: KM400-8235)?
Is it possible to setup the PCI Express NVDIA Video Card on the MSI Motherboard PCI Bus Slot?
Thanks for any response.

Maybe this is a dumb question..
There's no way a PCI-e card will work on that board. AGP yes, PCI yes, PCI-e no.

Msi neo4 platinum + xfx 6600gt pci express card..

This can be a stupid question
But i just builded a new system, with a msi neo4 platinum motherboard and a xfx 6600 GT pci express videocard.
which runs great, but when i start my system i see the following line (form the bios)
PCIe VGA LINK WIDTH X 4
And in my nvidia drivers i see this :
Bus: PCI Express X4
Is this correct ?
I thought it should say X16 or am i thinking the wrong way ?

Quote from: syar2003 on 08-May-05, 20:56:12
It should run with X16 lanes if the gfx-card is equipped with X16 interface .
Anyway the difference between 4X and 16X isn't exactly whohaa in todays games/apps .
http://www20.graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20041122/pcie-analyse-09.html
the videocard is equipped with and x16 interface, and the motherboard must show X16..
I asked a friend of mine, who has been playing with my machine yesterday en he says
it did show X16 in the bios, when starting the machine...
I did the following things :
- Removed an replaced videocard, did not help.
- Reset cmos, dit not help.
- Checked bios for an option, dit not help.
And also flashed the motherboard to version 1.2, dit also not work.
Looks like the motherboard or the videocard is not working properly anymore...
Anyone got an idea ?

P35 Neo MB and a PCI Express 2.0 Vid Card?

Hey, all:)
First time poster here, so hope this is the right spot for my question.
Here is the new card I want to put into my system. It will replace a MSI 8800 GT 512:
MSI N550GTX-Ti Cyclone OC GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16
My MSI P35 Neo MB says is PCI Express 1.0. Will a PCI Express 2.0 vid card run on a MB that is PCI Express 1.0? I do have a 585W PSU.
I am guessing it may be backwards compatible, but my tech knowledge is pretty low:)
MSI P35 Neo MB, current BIOS 1.60
Intel Core 2 Duo [email protected] GHz
4.0 Gskill PC 6400 RAM
X-585 PSU
XP Home SP3
Thks, all for any help:)

It will be backward compatible, however, I don't think you will benefit much from upgrading to the N550s as you can't utilize the full PCIE 2.0 lanes and speed, whereas the 8800GT are the top of line within their own series and you can make use of its full potential.

Mac Pro doesn't recognize USB 3.0 PCI express card

Mac Pro doesn't recognize USB 3.0 PCI express card. Does it need specific drivers?

I did a little searching for that card. The more I looked at it the more I felt that, yes, it needs a driver, and no, one doesn't exist for the Mac. So it looks like that is a card only supported for PC's. But to be sure, if I were in your place at this point, I would contact MSI directly.

MOVED: Onboard graphic card simultaneous with PCI Express graphic card

This topic has been moved to Off-Topic Technical.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=161634.0

Hi,
The following link shows the specs of your machine:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03499587#N432
It clearly says:
*Integrated video is not available if a graphics card is installed.
Supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards.
Either integrated graphics or the PCI Express x16 slot are usable at one time; they are not usable concurrently.
You don't need to disable the integrated video chip (or onboard video).
Regards.
