Msi 890fxa-g65 and two radeon 6950 video cards

Hi,
So far I have the one radeon 6950 with the MSI msi 890fxa-g65 motherboard. I was thinking of getting another 6950 down the road and was wondering if anyone was able to fit two 6950 video cards on a msi 890fxa-g65 motherboard.
It seems a bit tight. Also I currently have an Ultra brand 750W PSU. Is that enough?
Thanks.
Mike

Thank for the response. The main impedance is on the motherboard connections for the front panel of the computer case. These pins are located at the bottom of the motherboard where the 6950 video card goes. The pin connections and the wire stick out quite a bit and the video card might crush them a little.
Is there some sort of adapter for those pin connections to make them go on a 90 degree instead of straight out. This is the only impedance to get that video card in really. The case is big enough even though its only a mid -tower.
Thanks for any help.
Yes, those are you HDD, power and stand-by switch connectors I believe.  Yes, I have seen 90* adapters but I don't remember where.  It might come with the case attachments or a Mobo I put together about a year ago.  In any case, take your existing card and "gentaly" place it into that bottom slot without the pins inserted (mark or draw a little graph as to where those pins go).  See if you still have a little bit of room for your connectors.  Also, what kind of connectors are we talking here?  USB external pins are here to.  If you can live with just the MoBo USB ports, then forget the external USB connection then.  That way, simply put that card in and GO!  Try it out.

  • 890FXA-GD65 with AMD Phenom II 1100T and Asus Radeon 6950 No Video Signal

    I just did a new computer build with an MSI 890FXA-GD65 motherboard AMD Phenom II 1100T processor and Asus Radeon 6950 graphic card.
    I have a SATA hard drive and optical drive. Memory is Corsair XMS3 4GB PC10666 DDR3 1333MHz 4096MB.
    When I turn the system on I have no video signal so I can't see bios. I tried taking everything apart and rebuilding and still nothing.
    The power is on to the motherboard and graphic card. The motherboard has 2 LED indicators on.
    I am a newbie with the new computer build and need some help. I accidentally pressed the clear CMOS while the power was on. I have no idea if this is going to mess up the motherboard.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Mike

    I could not locate this on this specific motherboard. The one issue is that there is a CLR CMOS button on the back and I pressed this when power was on .
    I know there is another way to clear the cmos with the jumpers but I didnt do that .
    Anyway motherboard still powers up. I took it to a tech to check it out. Don't know anything as of yet. Thanks.

  • Is there a known conflict between a CalDigit FASTA-GU3 sata/USB 3 card and an ATI Radeon X1900XT video card?

    Hello all.
    I am having trouble with my Mac Pro (circa 2008) not powering up the monitor (an Apple HD Cinema Display 23 inch).
    Here's some history.
    For about two weeks I was having trouble waking up the monitor from sleep. I would have to reboot the computer to see the screen.
    Then the screen wouldn't wake up after many reboots. I tried the Apple Cinema Display on my MacBook Pro laptop an on an older Mac Mini. The display didn’t' work on any of them.
    I then hooked up a Samsung monitor to all three computers in turn. The Samsung worked fine with each.
    From that I deduced that it was Apple HD Cinema Display that was at fault.
    I replaced it with one I bought from a friend - in perfect working condition.
    The new Apple Display worked fine with my Mac Pro.
    Problem solved - or so I thought.
    Now, a few days later, I am having a repeat of the same problem. The Apple Cinema Display won't wake up.
    I removed all the peripheral devices, still no joy.
    I removed and reseated the video card (after blasting all with compressed air).
    Still no joy.
    I then removed the CalDigit FASTA-GU3 sata/USB 3 card I installed about a year ago.
    Now the Apple Display came back to life.
    So my question is, are there know conflicts between a CalDigit FASTA-GU3 and an ATI Radeon X1900XT video card?
    If so - is there a fix?
    Also open to other theories.
    Other tech specs:
    Mac Pro (from around 2008) 2 x 3 GHZ Quad Intel Xeon.
    OSX Lion
    The video card is an ATI Radeon X1900XT (512 MB)
    Apple HD Cinema Display - 23 inch
    Many thanks.

    Thanks for the info on the Expansion Slot Utility. I found it and ran it. It shows no problems. It shows the ATI Radeon X1900XT to be properly installed and running at full capacity.
    I found a reliable dealer of flashed ATI Radeon 5770 cards. A couple of trusted friends have had good luck with cards from the dealer.
    So I will have that on stand-by for when/if the existing card fails completely.
    Thanks everyone for your input.

  • Problems connecting 1 monitor and 1 TV to 2gb DDR3 AMD Radeon 7570 video card.

    I recently purchased an Hp h8-1360t computer with a 2gb DDR3 AMD Radeon 7570 video card and an Hp 2711 LED monitor. I am having problems connecting both the monitor (dvi) and a 50" Sony LCD TV (hdmi) with a 50' hdmi cable. When starting the computer, once the initial Win 7 boot up is finished, the monitor screen goes blank, except for the mouse pointer. When I turn on the tv and select the correct input source a normal Win 7 screen with icons appears on the tv. Only the wallpaper picture displays on the monitor and no icons. If play a dvd movie it will only show up on the tv with the sound coming from the speakers attached to the computer.
    I would like to retain control of the computer using the monitor. I tried to set the monitor up as the primary display source using the monitor configuration menu,but it won't allow me to save the dvi connection as the primary display source. The documentation that came with the computer and what I was able to find on the Hp site is lacking....to say the least.
    Any assistance with this problem will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Tony

    First I would disconnect the TV HDMI cable from the computer.  That should return the PC screen to normal.  May have to reboot to get normal.  Then reconnect the TV HDMI and go into the screen setup routine, paying attention to which screen is supposed to display what information.

  • Will be building with an MSI z87-g65 and 4770K cpu and Windows 7 Pro

    I will be building a system with an MSI z87-g65 and 4770K cpu and using either an MSI 460GTX or an MSI N6970 HD (both never used VGAs).   
    I read this topic and how it was solved:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=169759.msg1241119#msg1241119
    I wonder if using the "onboard" GPU in the 4770K would be simpler to load Windows 7?  I did a search and didn't find posts relating to this.

    The listed cards will work fine. The integrated gpu won't work better or make it easier for Win7. Just don't enable Win8 features in UEFI.

  • Mouse Lag and poor performance. Video Card or Power?

    Not specifically a FCP question but related. I recently purchased a new rig. Here are the specs.
    2 X 2.93Ghz 6 Core/16GB RAM/ ATI Radeon 5870 video card.
    I am having very odd mouse lag problems that are quite annoying. I am also having issues with playing sequences in unlimited RT. A guy in our office can play back better with an quad core. In regards to the mouse problem I have tried several different mouse and keyboard issues including a Wacom tablet and I get the same poor results.
    Some people say it could be my video card and some say it could be a dirty power issue. I took the rig back to the store and the tech geek in the back said it worked fine for him but when I showed up with the keyboard and mouse to test it he had boxed up the computer and gone home.
    Here is a clip of the screen and the weird jumpy jittery problem I am having.
    http://pdvpro.com/stupid_mac/
    You can see the mouse and the window I am dragging freeze for a second even though I am mousing smoothly and continuously. The mouse and keyboard and Wacom tablet work perfectly on my old Dual Core.
    Any ideas?

    According to your video, it's happening in Finder, not just FCP,
    so it must be something systemwide.
    Is there something running in the background, like Spotlight indexing?
    System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy add your disks to be excluded.
    Anything else running in the background?
    Anything weird connected to your USB?
    Also turn off your Airport or any network connection and repeat the test.

  • BIOS AGP setings for MSI6712 (KT4V-L) using ATI Radeon 9600XT video card ?

    Because I am having graphic issues with Battlefield-2 since the new patch, I want to know what should be the BIOS AGP setings to go accordingly with my ATI Radeon 9600XT video card ?
    I have all or part of the following BIOS AGP setings below. I picked this up on the net but I don't recall all the values I have as I am at the office right now.
    **AGP timing Control**
    AGP Mode: 8x  <== that's what I remember having
    AGP Fast Write: Enabled  <== that's what I remember having
    AGP Aperture Size: 256 MB  <== that's what I changed it to yesterday
    AGP Master 1 W/S Write: Enabled  <== that's what I remember having
    AGP Master 1 W/S Read: Disabled <== that's what I think I have
    AGP Read Synchronization: Disabled <== don't remember what I have
    PCI Delay Transaction: Enabled <== don't remember if I have it

    I still don't think this is mobo thing. Please use the Internet. There are lots of people having problems with the patch you mention.
    One thing I come across is that you should install something called Special Forces b e f o r e  you install the patch.
    This is in your favourite language Swedish  , it took me too long to find in English, but maybe you can find some search criteria for your own Internet search:

  • MSI 890FXA-GD70 and 3Ware 9750-4i BIOS issues

    This is my second build with this motherboard.  This post is just to help anyone who might be trying to get similar hardware combinations to work.
    The BIOS revision is 1.7, which was the revision the board came with.
    When running with a 3Ware 9750-4i board you will find that the 3Ware BIOS will complain about not being able to install.  At first it was complaining about the motherboard BIS not providing enough RAM to live in, but after I set the on-board SATA controller to AHCI is stopped complaining and just didn't show up at all.
    Now, don't be discouraged if you aren't booting from the 3Ware controller, because this won't stop it from working.  When the OS loads the driver, everything is fine.
    I suspect it would also work if you completely disabled the on-board controller, but that wasn't an option for me.  I wanted to run three additional HDs and two optical drives on that controller, as well as the four drives on the 3Ware.
    I kept experimenting with slot positions for the cards, but nothing produced a change at all.
    Finally I spent time in the OS trying to make the AHCI drivers for the on-board controller work with connect/disconnect.  There appeared no way in Win7 x64 to get any AHCI drivers to load but the default Microsoft ones, which don't support hot-swap or even connect/disconnect.
    It appeared to me that the only AHCI drivers supplied by AMD or MSI specifically work only when the controller is in RAID mode.  So I tried setting the controller to RAID mode in the BIOS, and discovered that it now played nice with the 3Ware BIOS.  Now I am going to reinstall Windows 7 with the 3Ware drivers and select a 3Ware drive to boot from, to see if I can get the AMD or MSI-supplied drivers to work with the on-board controller.  I suspect I will get all the features promised then.  If I don't, I will return here and report the results.

    I completed the new install of Win7 - this time with the 3ware controller as the primary, and the on-board SATA set to RAID.
    First, I had to load drivers for the on-board RAID during the install, just to let the install continue.  Then I had to load drivers to tell Win7 about the drive where I wanted to install.  I thought it would ask for both up front, but it wouldn't take both - it only wanted the drivers for the controller to which the DVD was connected.  THEN, after it was ready to ask for a location for the install, it let me put the 3ware drivers up.
    Once the system was loaded, I was disappointed to find that none of the on-board RAID drives showed up in the add/remove dialog, but I was able to use a utility to make them work with hot-swapping.  It is called Hotswap!
    http://mt-naka.com/hotswap/index_enu.htm
    and it allowed me to connect/disconnect drives plugged into the on-board controller housed in the Thermaltake MAX-2533.
    With the settings like that, the BIOS issues disappear, with both the on-board RAID and the 3ware co-existing nicely.  This indicates to me that there is likely something wrong with the standard AHCI BIOS-related screen that makes the 3ware controller unhappy.  I doubt the 3ware is the only BIOS-installing card to feel that way, so if you have your drives set to AHCI, but have issues with any other cards, you might look into setting the drives to RAID or to IDE (though you lose some features like NCQ)
    I also forgot to mention that I also have a four-port PCI-Express NIC from Intel in the system, so I have updated the system summary below:
    MSI 890FXA-GD70 | AMD Phenom II X6 1090T | ZALMAN CNPS9900MAX-B | CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9B |  HIS Silence H557HR1G Radeon HD 5570 | Antec Solo Black case | Corsair CMPSU-750TXV2 | 3ware LSI00216 (9750-4i) | Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port NIC | Seagate Barracuda XT ST32000641AS (x7) | Thermaltake MAX-2533 | Plextor PX-L890SA | Plextor PX-B940SA-11

    I saw some postings with the 2e code but can't seem to find anything specific on it.
    Please help!

    Go with just 1 stick of RAM for now.
    Next, disconnect both hard drives. Can you enter BIOS?
    Not sure if it makes a difference, but try both DVI ports
    In meantime, ask around if you can borrow a video card. Svet knows BIOSes, if he says it's VGA error...
    Any old PCI-E will do the job - like Radeon 1300/2400/3400 nVidia 7300gt/8400/9400 ...
    You have a lot of stuff in the manual.
    Make sure your systems is not OC'd (page 2-21)
    Also look at LED indicators (page 2-26) maybe you'll notice something suspicious.
    You also have a green power switch (page 2-20) and dedicated LED on the MoBo, so try both options.

    And yes, SLI isn't possible as Bas mention.
    To run SLI you need latest MSI's AMD platform board for AM3+, named 990FXA-GD80:

    The PSU is a HKC USP5550
    and forgot to mention that the ram is running on 1333 MHz not 1600MHz.(not trying to run it higher than 1333 MHz atm)
    i'm wondering if the "enhancend bandwidth" could be the cause of the system freezing?
    or in other words do i have the wrong RAM?

  • I'm use two screens, Firefox 4 is not displaying correctlying on my second screen. How do I fix this? (I have Windows 7, 64 bit, and using an external video card)

    It only happens on the screen I'm using the external video card. I'm assuming its a bug.

    I think this is related to other posts, the solution at the moment seems to be to disable hard acceleration.
