MSI FX5600XT ULTRA 256MB Graphics Card

Hi All,
I have just bought a MSI FX5600XT ULTRA 256MB Graphics Card  
Just a few questions -
1) Do the latest 5303xp drivers work well with this card, is this card supported
2) Does DX9 work well with this card or is it better sticking with DX8
Any advice , suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated  
Thx,
stts

make sure you use the drivers from nVidia

  • The Crew –Racing with Your Coolest MSI Gaming Motherboard and Graphics Card

    Most gaming fans are crazy about racing games, and there is a new game title just launched to fulfill gamers’ dream. We want to share with you the experience from Taiwan user who assembles a rig with a brand new MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card, along with a hardware and game (The Crew) benchmarks. You may find the original article from:
    https://forum-tc.msi.com/index.php?topic=113352.0
    The Crew - Launch Trailer
    PC configuration:
    CPU: Intel i5-4670K
    RAM: Avexir DDR3-1600 8G*2
    VGA: MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G
    SSD: Kingston HyberX 3K SSD 240G
    CPU Cooler: SilverStone AR01
    The MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard box
    Overview of the motherboard: Black and Red color scheme, it’s also the favorite color combination from MSI’s user reservation.
    The PCI-E slots and bandwidth are enough for a two-way SLI setting.
    Killer Ethernet, outstanding performance on internet access, especially reduce the lag issue.
    The new arrival MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G graphics card
    New cooling design: ZeroFrozr
    The dragon symbol on LED panel
    With MSI Gaming series motherboard plus graphics card, you can enable a Gaming App to overclock CPU and GPU. There are 3 modes to choose.
    6-month free trail of the XSplit game caster software, free bundled with MSI gaming motherboard and graphics card
    Done with assembling, quiet nice color combination and clean cable arrangement.
    An overview of the very gaming look system.
    Some benchmark results before racing with The Crew.
    CPU and GPU info on CPU-Z and GPU-Z applications:
    3DMark Fire Strike score: 6441
    3DMark Fire Strike Extreme score: 3384
    3DMark Fire Strike Ultra score:1262
    The excel performance proof the brand new 960 graphics card comes with good a high Cost/Performance Value.
    Now, check out this test benchmark score of the renowned game “The Crew”.
    The game presents an ultra-quality display, 60 Frames Per Second (FPS)
    FPS: Average frames is at:
    Frames: 3859 - Time: 76828ms - Avg: 50.229 - Min: 43 - Max: 56
    The comments of the game for your reference:
    There are many types of missions that can be chosen from the America’s map.
    Street racing, high-speed collision, breakaway from police, sky jumps, zigzagging, etc… make the game quite dynamic.
    Now, when it comes to multi-player matches, the performance has exceeded expectations. Perhaps, it is the killer Ethernet that’s working the magic. Thus, this game is highly recommended if you have the right rig.
    The downside is that the display intricacy is not as refined as GTA V and in addition, the game FPS is limited at 60 FPS. However, the overall gaming flow and performance is better than good.
    The user's comment for using MSI Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card:
    (The following commends are translated from user’s article, does not represent the viewpoint of MSI) ^^
    Recently, MSI GTX 960 just launched so the initial price tag is still adjustable.
    According to the current product line, it seems like this GPU is going to replace 750Ti. So once all the stocks (750Ti) at the store empties, we are most likely to see a price drop on GTX960.
    Once the price hits the sweet spot, it’s time to try out GTX960 SLI’s performance.
    The CP value on MSI GTX960 and GAMING 5 MB is pretty high. But the XSplit software that comes with the product is a bit annoying since the authentication steps are divided into 2 parts to go through for using it.     
    Enough said, anyways, GAME ON!

    NVIDIA 960 card  + GAMING 5 motherboard = best bundle for budget gaming!
    it would be nice to see more testing of hardware-demanding games!

  • NY GeForce 6200 256MB Graphics Card

    Will a NY GeForce 6200 256MB Graphics Card work on mac with a PCI slot?

    Well, Its a power mac G5. Its a single processor with 1.6 ghz. Now the first card i saw doesnt look like mine. The plug ins dont match.
    Are you talking about the gold connectors? They will look different because the 9600's I listed don't have ADC. That will make the physical build slightly different. The card will fit into any 8x AGP Pro slot.
    The card that you pictured is a GeForce FX 5200 Ultra , isn't it? With ADC, correct? The different maker and port configuration will make the cards look quite different. You can use the ATI Radeon 9600 in your machine with confidence.
    Your G5 is an 8x AGP compatible machine, and as such, will be able to use any of the 3 cards that I listed. The ATI Radeon 9600 (both versions) have 2 DVI connectors, so you will only need a DVI to VGA connector to connect each VGA monitor.

  • PSU sutiable for a MSI FX5900 Ultra 256MB?

    Guys,
    Is this PSU sutiable for a MSI FX5900 Ultra 256MB?
    It's a 520W HiperPower PSU Quiet Triple Fan (Active Fan Control) Active PFC.
    Sorry Wonkanoby and Deathstalker I just cant afford a Antec or Enermax at the moment, but this PSU does not look so bad?
    Click this link to see PSU power details

    You just have to dig a bit further into that link...(albeit for a 350)
    From the numbers and the reviews, looks half decent. Only thing that catches the eye is the rather low max amps on the +3.3 in light of the overall TCO. (Should be a problem only if you have gobs of memory and things powered via the USB.)

  • MSI mobos and ATI graphics card incompability!

    I don´t know how well known this problem is but I´ve seen it on this forum and when googling the internet you can find it!
    The issue is that I can´t get my HD5450(Sapphire) to work on my MS-7267 (945GCM5-F V2) mobo! The screen stays blank but the PC boots up and loads Windows.
    The HD5450 works fine on other mobos with different PSU´s ranging from 350 - 600 watts, but when trying different PSU´s on the 945GCM5-F V2 it doesn´t seem to help. I´ve also tried different bios settings, I´ve cleared CMOS, I´ve tried both dvi and vga outputs, I´ve disconnected as much as possible from the mobo except from the graphics card and the PSU, but nothing seems to help!
    Any ideas , someone?
    Tekrar!

    Thanks for all replies!
    I had this question on the AMD forum (AMD Game » AMD Technology » Radeon Graphics » MSI mobos and ATI graphics card incompability!) and here are some of the replies:
    "Well, its a known issue that older chipsets, like even AMD 580X chipset, doesn't work with 5k/6k series cards without a bios update from the manufacturer of the board.
    If its not working / posting / no video ect... You need to bug MSI to update the bios on the board to support the newer 5k/6k video cards. It may or may not happen. Several manufacturers have like Asus, and Gigabyte."
    "Same problem. 5450, MSI MS-7267 (945GCM5-F V2). Done the same plus updated msi mainboard bios using msi live update 5 etc. Waiting for reply from makers of graphics card and mainboard.
    I should add from what I've read in other threads and forums it seems to be an old mainboard problem not just related to the MSI 945GCM5-F V2. Some other manufacturers of mainboards have sent customers bios upgrades to get their cards working.
    As for your pci express version question. Well these problems seem to emerge when people have plugged these pci express version 2.1 cards into their pci express 1st generation slots. What exactly the problem is here? Leave that for manufacturers/experts to answer."
    "Tek , its hit or miss on the board + chipset combination on if the card will work or not. Sometimes they will work in old boards, Sometimes they will not w/o manufacturerer support.
    Its completely random from what I've seen on the forums at the times they were released , when people with old boards were asking why it wasn't working. And what they did to solve it. Most all of them emailed the manufacturer. Some of those said manufactureres provided beta bios back to the customers, some said your out of luck."
    Its true, this MSI MS-7267 (945GCM5-F V2) isn´t a new mobo, but when I get the 5450 to work without problem with an even older fujitsu mobo (last bios update long time ago) and a 350 watts PSU I think something´s wrong.
    So, a bios upgrade would probably fix it if the manufacturer (in this case MSI) just wanted to!
    Tekrar!

  • MSI 645 Ultra + FX5600 G-Card

    Will the MSI 645 Ultra Motherboard take a FX5600 VTDR Graphics card. Any issues with this combo would be apprciated.
    I'm looking to upgrade and the 5600 VTDR looks a good start to get the FX features in place with a top spec card. :D :D :D

    Hey dude, try this first. I had 2 648 Max's today. Neither of them would boot. Cpu's good, memory good. PSUs good. Dude, I was pulling my hair out, argh......
    Then what I did was removed all the pin connectors for the Power Switch, Hard Drive LED, Reset SW. I left the speaker connected. I cleared the CMOS. Took a small screw driver and jumped the two power pins. And walla! The thing started up and was able to get into the BIOS.
    Man, I ate a scooby snack and did a little more investigating and low and behold it was a bad Reset Switch that prevented it from booting.
    This is almost the exact sme sysmptoms your talking about. A similar one I had about two months ago was a bad power switch. It was just arely making contact not allowing the board to start, but all the fans etc... would work.
    So add this to your trouble shooting and maybe this will work.

  • MSI GS70 GTX 765 graphics card issue

     I've been using the laptop for close to 8 months and had no problems with it until I felt the need to plug it to an external monitor via a mini dp to DVi cable. It worked perfectly for a few days. I watched a few seasons of house of cards on it and one day, all of a sudden the external monitor is blank and from here on it doesnt work when connected to an external monitor. i tried the hdmi port instead, i tried the other mini DP port. I also tried a lot of different things like updating the nvidia grpahics, updating the intel graphics, I uninstalled and reinstalled all the drivers, finally after doing all of this and getting no results, i restored the laptop to its factory settings, thinking that this must be a problem that windows 8.1 caused. Even after getting it back to windows 8, its still the same. in the device manager, under display adapter, right next to the nvidia geforce gtx 765m, there's a hazard sign. So that means it detects the graphics card, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working. I tried installing a varied bunch of nvidia drivers too, if that means anything . Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    I've posted results I got from GPU-Z. The clock rates of the GPU seem to be at zero. I'm glad that it is getting detected, but there's still the hazard sign in the device manager. What gives? :/

    1. Make sure the mini-DP to DVI cable is not damaged first. Borrow another laptop or machine to try the cable to make sure it's okay.
    2. Remove all NVIDIA drivers and install the NVIDIA driver from here: http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GS70-STEALTH.html#down-driver
       Select your OS to download. Remember to check "Perform a clean installation" while running NVIDIA driver installer.
    3. Press Fn+F2 to manually switch on the video output (MSI shortcut key function).
    4. Press Windows+P to manually switch on the video output (Windows function).
    5. If none of the above worked, update your BIOS & EC & remove all power sources of the laptop & poke the reset hole on the right side. Then power on again.
    6. Try step 3 & 4 again.
    4. If still none of the above worked, I'm afraid you may need to send it to local authorized service point to find & fix the problem.

  • MSI KT3V & Agp 8x graphic cards ? Problems ? Experience?

    cards , am I right?

    AGP8x card is backward compatible with AGP4x slot.

  • MSI G41M-P28 and graphic card

    Hello.
    I am new here and a have a problem, if somebody who know can help me.
    A have a motherboard MSI G41M-P28 and i want to buy a graphic card and i want to know what type of graphic card will work without problem on it.
    I read many discussion on this forum and it look this MB is not compatible with PCI Ex 2.1 because he had just PCI Ex 1.1. Please help me with some recomandation of graphic card to can run the newest games without problems. Someone said it work better with nvidia than ati? it is true? And what type of PCI Ex is working 100% with it?
    Thanks!

    Wonkanoby is THE expert. 
    If you can still get a GTX460, that would be an excellent choice. Alternativley look at the GTX550 or GTX560 series. Nothing the 560 won't play at reasonable resolutions.
    Your budget will determine what you want to spend. If you have the money, go for the 570.

  • Do all MSI Nvidia 750 TI graphics card have hybrid bios?

    I have been advised to get a MSI Nvidia gtx 750 TI graphics card that has a hybrid bios switch as my HP pavilion has had compatibility issues with another graphics cards in the past. Im  having a look on Amazon but im really not sure what one to choose as i dont know which ones have hybrid bios. Do all MSI GTX 750 TI card have hybrid bios or only certain ones? Im really not very good when it comes to things like this and i want to make sure i get it right so i thought i would ask, hope you can help.
    Thanks Steve

    If the VGA card have hybrid bios, it will write on the product box.
    But since the website spec didn't mention it , I think it is better to ask the Amazon seller before you buy it...
    You can check >>MSI website for hybrid BIOS introduction<<...

  • MSI 745 Ultra multiple gfx cards

    I have an MSI 745 Ultra , BIOS v1.4 and two gfx cards. One PCI and one AGP. On boot the AGP cards is initialized and used. Is there a way to initialize the PCI card first ?
    Other motherboards have a BIOS option to select between a PCI or AGP card to be initialized first, but my BIOS has no such option ( or at least I could not find it ).
    regards,
    stein
    I have an MSI 745 Ultra, Athlon 900 ( 100 MHz FSB ) and 256 PC266 DDR memory module ( the chips are made by MOSEL (http://www.moselvitelic.com), chip type is V58C2128804SAT7 ).
    BIOS is v1.4 ( v1.5 has the same problem )
    The memory only runs at 200 MHz.
    If I try to set it at 266 MHz ( CPU:MEM ratio 3:4 , FSB is 100 MHz ) then the computer keeps on rebooting, not even the VGA BIOS screen is visible. The only way back is clearing the CMOS with the jumper. ( not even holding "Insert" works. Is that supported at all ? On my older MB , MSI K7T Pro2A holding "Insert" on bootup, would use default BIOS settings, but still leave the CMOS intact, so you could switch back certain settings if the prevent from booting )
    Any suggestions ?
    I tried BIOS v1.3 and there it works !

    stein
    I have an MSI 745 Ultra.
    Power-on by keyboard does not work.
    help.
    the keyboard is Cherry G-83 ( PS/2 )
    I tried BIOS v1.3 , 1.4 and 1.5.

    Yes, but now the subject is a lot less descriptive.
    With the original post, forum users could see what my problem is just by looking at the message list.
    Now only those who open my message can see what problems I have. By this I lost a lot of potential helpers.
    I personally would probably not open a message with such unspecific title as "MSI 745 Ultra problems"
    I'll try to change the subject ...

  • MOVED: MSI GP60 2PE Leopard Graphics Card

    This topic has been moved to MSI Notebooks & Netbooks.

    I don't believe it's possible to change the graphics card on this model as it is integrated into the motherboard.

  • MSI G41M4-F supported Graphic cards ?

    I just bought an MSI G41M4-F M/B, and i am going to get a new graphics card. The M/B supports only PCI - E 16x, all the graphic cards i can find require PCI-E 2.0.  I tested a friends card (PCI-E 2.1) and it did not work....
    Here are the ones i am looking to buy
    MSI 9800GT-MD1G/PWM 1GB DDR3
    MSI VN240GT-MD1G 1GB DDR3   
    GAINWARD 0780 GEFORCE GT240 512MB 
    MSI N240GT-MD512-OC/D5 CUDA 512MB DDR5 HDMI
    SUS NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 240 1024 MB DDR3
    Which ones will work ?? 
    Thanks for your help

    I have updated the BIOS. But that card will not work...
    (Anyway, it is not mine and i don't want an ATI Radeon. I had one on my main PC failed after 2 months. Got a replacement and failed too...)
    Which of the cards i posted above will work ? (The PNY ?)
    I am currently using an 6600 LE, no problems with the M/B, but it is not enough for 1920x1080...
    Thank you for your help

  • Photoshop CS6 3D not supported by my NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256MB graphics card

    Hey I am trying to use CS6 Photoshop 3D options and when I open Photoshop it says my graphics card is not supported for 3D, it say I need a graphics card that has 512 MB of vRAM.  Can I update my MacBook Pro or am I SOL?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The MacBook Pro has got a soldered graphic card, and in your case, you have an integrated card which doesn't work properly with these type of apps. Unfortunately, it's not possible to replace this card
