  • Trying to clock MSI FX5900 TD128

    First of all: HI! (This is my first post here  ) )
    I recently got muself a MSI FX5900 TD128. I installed the msi drivers and I saw it is possible to adjust the clock there. It is one (2D) that says 300mhz and one (3D) that says 400mhz. I've tried to adjust the 3D-clock to 450mhz (ultra settings) but when I reboot the pc it is back at 400mhz.
    I don't know if I am doing this right and what the difference on 2d and 3d-clock is. Does anybody know?

    Hi Metaman,
    You are having the same problem that I had with my FX5200 that the settings were not being saved.  I do not know why this is.  
    I downloaded the Geforce tweak utility from http://download.guru3d.com/gtu/ this allows you to change clock settings.
    P.S the 300Mhz is memory speed
        the 400Mhz is the GPU speed
    kind regards

  • MSI FX5900 128mb or 256mb

    Hi all
    I have decided to buy a MSI FX5900 has anyone got the specs for the
    MSI FX5900-TD128 and the
    MSI FX5900-VTD128 I need to know memory / clock core speeds etc. Not the ultra to expensive for what I can afford
    I have found some info on the forum.

    My question is how much difference will 128mb of memory compared to 256mb be using the FX5900.  for games?
    Thanks  

    Thanks. I've done my homework on just about everything. I know 2gb of ram will be in it. I'll be getting the 160GB drive because of the speed limitations of the larger disk.
    Mostly, I'm having trouble finding any real numbers showing differences between 128 and 256 vid memory with motion. It's good to know it wont make much of a difference with FCE by itself.
    Does anyone have a link to any benchmarks pitting the two 15" models? Specifically, with motion.
    Also, kind of on a similar note, but not related to final cut, does having the 256mb version place a significant impact on battery life?
    Thanks.

  • 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.)

  • Does MSI fx5900 "SP"-VTD 128 support temperature monitoring?

    Hello everybody!!!
    I really need someone's help here.I recently used the coolbits hack to overclock my card(MSI FX5900 SP-VTD 128).It runs fine after overclocking but the problem is that I can't monitor the cards temperature!!!
    I used both the 3D Turbo Expirience and the registry hack to add those DWORD values that enable the thermal monitoring,but even after that I couldn't see the card's temperature!!!
    Is there anyone who can give me a solution to this problem?I really don't want to damage my card by overheating it!!!

    I have the same card as you the MSI FX5900SP 128VTD and it does have temp monitoring, i has used different drivers and my temp monitoring tab has always worked o.k, you may have damaged it already if you are excessivly O/C the card, i can only get mine to 465/812 before i start to see affects or lockups, so that may be the case, i am looking to flash my card though with a bios from a FX5900U to get the O/C that i want but i want to know if its been done first , i know you can do a FX5900U to a FX5950U so why not a FX5900SP(XT or SE) to a FX5900U?

    Thanks for any help!  

    The 256 MB version will allow you to load heavier 3D scenes in its memory with great performance, but the 128 MB version will have more bandwidth and it will generally be faster, although when the time come that a 128 MB video card will run out of memory, then the card will start to swap memory between its memory and AGP memory, thus it will be much slower that having a 256 MB version a bit slower.
    Confused?
    I´d go for the 256 MB version. although it has 2.8 Ns memory and you could reach just 714 MHz memory clock speed, but the other card will have less memory.
    It´s just an opinion, but I would choose 256 MB version if I were you, and if I had the money

  • Msi Fx5900 Sp-vtd128(ms-8929-060) Appearing As (ms-8937) At Msi Live Update 3.

    Hi everyone!
    I have recently purchased the Msi FX5900 SP-VTD 128 card."Model number MS-8929-060.
    When I used the Live Update 3 program to check for updates for my videocard and motherboard,the programm identified my card as "MS-8937" and not "MS-8929"
    After a quick and easy search I found out that the "MS-8937" model number is used to describe the MSI FX5900XT 128 and not the FX5900 SP-VTD 128 which is the card that I use.
    Can anyone help me out here??!!Does anyone else have the same problem??

    Bill K.,
    Forget Live Update and download the latest nVidia ForWare Drivers. Then go to your Windows Directory and delete the file msicpl.dll and see what those drivers say your card is.
    Take Care,
    Richard

  • MSI FX5900 Ultra 256 MB and MSI 648 MAX

    I have just installed my new FX5900 Ultra graphics card and when ever the card runs any 3D application for more than a couple of minutes, my PC will instantly shut down. The only way I can get it back up, is to remove my power cable from the PSU and wait about 20 seconds and then the PC will boot again.
    I have checked the temperature of the card before and after the shutdown; and the latest Nvidia reference drivers show a GPU core temperature of 37 C. In addition, if I put my original GeForce 3 back into my computer, I experience no problems.
    Looking on the internet, I have come across other people who have had a similar problem and this was resolved by changing the AGP slot to run at 4x rather than 8x. I have gone through the 648 Max BIOS and am unable to find anywhere where I can step down to 4x AGP.
    Any Help Will Be Greatly Received.
    Regards,
    Macross

    Thanks for your help guys. Whilst I have not been able to pick up my new powersupply, I have removed the Q-Tec 400W and put my old 300W PSU back, and guess what?? My PC has not shutdown since.
    This power supply lark is totally new to me, and it does seem that a good quality 300W PSU can be better than a average 400W. I have never looked at the 3.3, +5 and +12 before, just the total wattage. Well, you do live and learn. Though it would have been nice if MSI put information like this in the manual of the card, or the WEB FAQ's.
    I shall pick up my new 520W PSU on Saturday. Then I can put this new 5900 Ultra through its paces!!
    Thanks
    Macross.

  • MSI FX5900 Ultra Installation

    Hi,
    I'm having difficulty installing the drivers for a MSI FX 5900 Ultra.  The following explains:-
    1.  Upgraded to Gigabyte 8KNXP motherboard with 3.2 MHx P4, 1 GByte DDR 3200 RAM and MSI GeForce FX 5900 Ultra, using same hard drive without re-installing the operating system initially.  PSU is a 430W Enermax.
    2.  Had trouble (as described below) installing FX 5900 Ultra drivers but eventually after a few attempts it appeared to work but there were problems with a flight simulator (Falcon 4) locking up frequently so decided to do a complete re-install.
    3.  Re-installed Win98SE, with the FX 5900 Ultra being the only card fitted and it worked correctly on the Standard VGA drivers.
    4.  Installed nVIDIA 44.03 drivers by running Setup on the MSI CD.
    5.  Restarted when prompted, reached Windows Logo screen, then reached C:\ prompt but would not go any further.
    6.  Restarted and it went to Safe Mode on the Startup Menu.  Continued the restart in Safe Mode and Device Manager showed MSI MS-Starforce GeForce FX 5900 Ultra installed, hardware version 161, on IRQ 5 with "This device is working properly".
    7.  Restarted and went to startup menu again then selected Normal and continued the restart.  This gave "Windows protection error.  You need to restart your computer."
    8.  I've tried installing the drivers by using "Update Driver" in the Device Manager and browsing to the CD but the same thing happens.
    9.  I've tried installing DirectX 9.0 before installing the FX 5900 drivers and the same thing happens.
    10  I've tried the nVidia 4.03 drivers and the Detonator 45.23 drivers and the same thing happens.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    The motherboard chipset drivers (excluding those for the onboard LAN and audio) were installed before the nVidia drivers.
    I re-installed the operating system (item 3 in my first post).
    P.S.
    Just used Driver Cleaner and tried again but still no joy.

  • Msi FX5900 (watts) requirement?

    Many FX 5900 have a minimum requirement of 300w and i'm wondering if this is the case with MSI too? Have checked everyware but can't find anything. I have 180w in my comp and can't change it becuse of the case.

    It's not any different from manufacturer to manufacturer as the basic reference design is the same across the board. The difference between manu's hardware and it's impact on power requirements is negligible, it's a power hog on the 12v line.
    You cannot simply rely on the overall power rating a manufacturer advertises.

  • Msi fx5900&terratec tv problem

    First of all, English are not my native language,that means I make many (even too much) mistakes,but I hope you will be able to understand and help me.
    Specs:
    GA 8inxp
    P4 2.4
    512 MB ddr
    Audigy
    Terratec cinergy 400 tv tuner
    MSI 5900FX-vivo 128MB
    Win XP
    After installing MSI vga,my tv tuner is no longer functional. Going back to Ti 4600(without vivo), tv-tuner works fine.
    To be more specific, with msi_vga tv-tuner disappears from device manager and I cannot install drivers. Doing so via add_hardware_wizard the dreadfull code 10 message appears and,of course, tv-tuner does not work.
    I have tried the latest drivers, including wdm(vivo and vivo_tv tuner) with out succes.I have also tried the last two drivers for cinergy.
    Considering that cinergy works fine with my Ti suppose the problem is MSI's vga.So,please, don't adress me to Terratec.
    Any sugestion is welcome, a solution  is even more   .
    If a moderator or any one from technicall support team read my mail,please send me the bios of msi 5900/128MB without vivo. I am willing to try it.I have a hint that vivo causes the problem.
    Thank you in advance (and excuse my English)

    I guess MSI's tech support is not that great after all
    A month later my request and no response from MSI.
    I am really dissapointed and being so I will not buy any MSI product nor I will suggest them to anyone.
    Farewell MSI  

  • Looking for MSI FX5900 TD128 BIOS !! Need to flash back from 5950

    I had flashed my BIOS a couple of months back using the WFFLash utility of Leadtek and since then ive been gettin low scores on 3dmark03!
    Overclocking my 5900 once get me to get a 6300 3dmark03 score and now it doesnt go over 5800 or even less!!
    I was hoping if some1 could either give me a link or if some1 had the BIOS of the GPU i own, it was be grateful!!
    Even has any1 else encountered this low scores after their Flash!
    Oh yeah which utility do i need to re-flash - WFFLASH or NvFlash!
    Hope to find some help here ! !
    THanksss !!  

    Utk,
    The BIOS is static and flashing back probably won't make things better. I believe your scores or performance is suffering from OS decay. It might be a good idea to review all the software you have installed since you flashed your BIOS and see what's running in the backround. Perhaps even a fresh install of the drivers, maybe even a fresh install of the OS.

    Looking for performance degradation
    Before I move on, let me point out that there's another area where benchmarking software really shines for computer users and that is in keeping an eye out for performance degradation due to OS (Operating System) Decay.
    This type of problem is little understood but very common. Let's take a closer look. As you've been using your existing operating system over time, you've probably installed, upgraded, and uninstalled numerous applications. In addition, you've probably added and removed lots of hardware and device drivers. Furthermore, you may have upgraded your operating system with a multitude of patches, bug fixes, and updates.
    Considering all the wear and tear these types of operations put on your operating system, chances are good that you've experienced OS decay first hand. Some of the symptoms of OS decay are frequent system lockups or crashes, strange error messages, unusually slow performance, and Windows directory that's bloated with files.
    Of course you must realize that OS decay is actually a natural occurrence that results from the heavy use of your system. You could look at the OS decay problem much as you would look at an aging automobile—no matter how well you take care of it, eventually you're going to have to buy a new one.
    Fortunately, you don't have to buy a new computer to solve the OS decay problem; you just have to rebuild the operating system from scratch.
    As such, the question is not if you must rebuild, but when you must rebuild. If you regularly check your computer and keep tabs on your system's progress over time, you'll have a much better picture of when the OS decay has gotten so bad that it's degrading the overall performance of your system.
