MSI Gaming App - Uses wrong Graphics Card.

Hello. I recently bought a MSI 970 4G Graphics Card. To improve performance/unlock more features, I downloaded the MSI Gaming App.
However, it seem to default to my other graphics card, a NVidia 750TI. For example, the LED option isn't there, the cooling mode only works on my 750, etc.
The only way I can get it to use my 970 (Meaning, access the LED function, and change the mode to Gaming/run the fan at 100%, etc.) is to remove my 750TI from the computer, which I do not want to do.
Is there a way to set my MSI 970 as the "default" graphics card? Or to make the program use it instead of the 750ti, without removing the 750 from my system?
Thank you very much.

It happens every time, even after a restart.
Hardware ID for 750TI:

AE using wrong graphics card

After Effects is defaulting to the GT120 where my monitors are plugged in, rather than using the 285 for its OpenGL operations. I'm relying on Open GL for the current project, but I need this physical configuration for DaVinci Resolve to properly utilize the 285 for CUDA and 120 for GUI. How can I get AE to default to the more powerful card when no monitors are plugged into it? Not using OpenGL in AE is not the answer as I use Element 3D regularly. Thank you.

Can you elaborate on "physically change it" and "hide the other card"? How would I go about either of those within OSX, or are you talking about simply physically removing the card? I have come to the resolution that when grading I just need to pull the monitors from the 285 and plug them only into the 120 and when inside AE/Photoshop I need to make sure the 285 has at least one monitor connected. I'm always attempting to avoid the hassle of swapping physical connections but it seems, in this case, unavoidable.
Thanks Mylenium and do let me know if there's an alternative I'm missing.

MSI Gaming App Not Working - Fails to open after install - Want to use OC mode

Hi, well today I just recovered my GPU from a near fry using MSI Afterburner. Luckily, with help from a moderator on this site, I was able to get it working again. I thought I fried it trying to OC it. I simply want to be able to switch between the modes it is supposed to come with. I have a MSI R9 290, and it is supposed to be equiped with 3 easy "one click" toggling between OC modes, 1007MHz, Gaming mode, 974MHz, and Silent Mode, 947MHz.
I cannot figure out how to switch between these modes. I used Afterburner and nearly fried my card. I was told not to use that, that is for advanced users, to use instead the (supposed to be bundled, but was not included in my install) MSI Gaming App, to easily switch between the 3 different modes. I downloaded the MSI Gaming App (http://download.msi.com/uti_exe/gamingApp.zip) and installed it. When I tried to run it I get this error:
======
[MSI Gaming App]
The platform does not support this application
(OK)
======
So what does this mean, that the Gaming App is not supported by Windows 7 64Bit Professional (which is what I have)?
Am I doing something wrong, did I install the wrong application. I could not find any others however.
So I damn near fried my GPU trying to use Afterburner to OC my GPU, and I am very hesitant to try using it again. At this point, I have not even reinstalled Afterburner as I fear it might, just by installing, screw me up again.
What should I do, is there anything I CAN do?
Please help this noob- Thanks for your help!
-Kris

based on S/N the card is generic, AMD reference one
those cards don't have factory OC:

Can I use the MSI Gaming App OC settings in Afterburner then uninstall Gaming Ap

Hello all,
I finally bought an MSI GTX 760 TF OC Gaming Edition GPU last week. Unfortunately the OC isn't programmed into the BIOS and to get the highest Factory OC I need to use the MSI Gaming App. The problem is it does not start with Windows or remember your last Clock Selection.
I know Afterburner can start with Windows and apply your last selected profile.
So can I......
1. Open Gaming App and select OC.
Open GPU-Z and see how much the Clock Speed has increased.
Restore the default Clock (Gaming).
Open Afterburner and apply the same increase to the clock value as the Gaming App gave me.
Save the profile.
Tick the 'Start with Windows' box.
Uninstall the Gaming App.
2. Will the above effectively apply the same OC as the gaming App and therfore make the Gaming App obsolete?
3. Also I've read on some forums that Afterburner will only OC the MSI card if the gaming App is installed. I'm away from home so cannot test any of this. Maybe this was the case with the original version of the gaming app. can anyone confirm?
4. Also I've read people reporting that once the OC has been applied it is locked at this high clock and doesn't downclock when idle. From what I've seen the Gaming App does downclock depending on GPU demand. As does Afterburner. Can anyone confirm?
I don't know why MSI did things this way. It's a Gaming Edition card so there should be a way of applying the factory OC and leaving it set that way. The Gaming App is a nice simple little tool but as a bare minimum they should let us start it with Windows and automatically apply the last selected Clock profile.
Dragging the shortcut into the start-up folder doesn't work for me. And even if it did, the last profile selection is not remembered.
To be honest, the Gaming App is ideal for me but only if I can set it and forget it. There should be a box (like there is in Afterburner) that starts the Gaming App when Windows starts and applies the last Clock profile selected.
Now that would be simple. Afterburner is great and gives you lots of control. But I just want the OC that MSI have created. It should be set at BIOS level for a so-called OC Gaming Edition card.
From the official Afterburner Guide on this forum....
"Another thing which needs to be kept in mind is that maximum clockrates for the latest GeForce GTX7xx Gaming requires running >>Gaming APP<<. Switch to Gaming Mode (N770 TF 2GD5/OC (GeForce GTX 770 GAMING)) or OC Mode (N780 TF 3GD5/OC (GeForce GTX 780 GAMING)) to allow maximum boost clockrates."
Many thanks in advance,

Sure you can set these settings (clock rate etc) in afterburner and you should be good to go. Just for stability, run a benchmark. It should be same OC as Gaming App applies, but GApp might change voltages (never used it so not sure).
Afterburner works with ANY brand's card. However MSI Gaming App not.
However if you change settings in Nvidia control panel in : 3D settings -> Global Settings -> Power management mode -> change from Adaptive to Prefer max performance. After this card will neved downclock even at idle.

MacBook Pro late 2011 - Wrong uses of graphic card

Hi everyone,
I have installed windows 7 on my bootcamp, I had issues with the quality of the game so I decided to install Catalyst AMD, but it didn't work as I expected, So I uninstalled it and I runned the bootcamp CD to reinstall every driver as they should be. Getting bored of Windows I decided to reboot my mac to Mac and I don't know why but I want to go to the specification of my Macbook Pro and I realised that my MacBook Pro was using the wrong graphic card as the main one. I mean I don't know enough about technology to be sure of what I see, it's why I'm posting and I am also giving you a screen sharing so you can make your self an idea of the situation. Any body has an idea of what I should do ? Is this maybe the reason my games that usually runs at full speed(FPS) suddenly runs at a lower speed (FPS) ?
Sincerely,
Fred

People come here because they have a problem. It's like the emergency room in a hospital. No well people. I never have had any issue connecting via airport anywhere. I've had 3 PowerBooks and this is my 2nd MacBook Pro. It's a matter of setting it up correctly from the start.

Flickering while using MSI gaming app with MSI motherboard+MSI Nvidia 970

As title, I am experiencing flickering when using MSI gaming app both in gaming and OC settings. When I close the app, everything is fine. I am not experienced in OCing, hence I'd be absolutely glad to be able to use MSI gaming app, and it worked with the previous version.

Can I use ATI graphics cards in SLI in MSI-7100?

My stupid-question-ometer is going off the scale, but I don't know the answer; can I use ATI graphics cards in SLI in my machine?
Also, whilst I'm at it, according to my knowledge, AMD are considered, in general, the lowest cost per unit power. Is it the same with ATI or nVidia - which generally offers best value?

And can you refine your other question, please. For one, ATI and AMD is one company now. Intel and AMD/ATI mostly have processors that in normal run are equal, but Intel has more refined top-end processors. In benchmarks Intel's normally score higher.

MSI Gaming App Will NOT Start

If this is the wrong forum I apologize, I didn't see any other place for topics about MSI software.
When my PC starts, the MSI Gaming App doesn't start automatically, I have to manually start it by double-clicking the icon on the desktop. However, it is a crap shoot if the program will even run; usually it doesn't and I have to completely restart my computer and cross my fingers. I've re-installed, updated, etc., but it keeps doing this. Any help would be fantastic.

Are you mixing RAM?
Did the software ever worked before? Try to uninstall it (Programs&Features), remove any folders and registry files that Gaming App have made (you can also use CCleaner to clear registry errors). Then reboot and try to install+run Gaming App again. What was the version you have tried? From the CD included with the card or from MSI website? If possible, tell exact version.

[290x] MSI Gaming App error "The platform does not support this application."

Using the latest AMD Omega drivers, I am unable to launch the Gaming App and am presented with this error - "The platform does not support this application."
I have tried downloading Gaming APP 3.0.0.16.zip from another post on the topic but I am receiving the same error. The only other thing I've seen as a 'solution' is to install the drivers from the MSI support page for my card - however this is version 14.4 and is over 3 months old, I don't really think that's a viable solution.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Is your vga driver 14.12? Any other settings changed?
Do you have any other msi or vga software installed?
Can you do a fresh re-install OS and what's the language of your OS?
Yes, Catalyst Omega. No other software or hardware changes.
Yes MSI Afterburner. Have tried uninstalling and installing gaming app, have also not had it running when trying to launch MSI Gaming app. No joy there.
No I can't, that's not really an option for a piece of software like this which worked before but doesn't since the latest AMD driver updates.
Quote from: JLio01 on 07-January-15, 16:07:38
Since your motherboard is not the supported gaming series mobos, there might be something detected wrong with your card. The error message shown if neither motherboard nor vga is supported in Gaming App. I suggest use AMD Catalyst Clean Uninstall Utility to totally uninstall the current driver:
http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/16748/
and re-install the latest driver 14.12. I have no problem using Gaming App 3.0.0.16 with my R9 290X, hope you too.
I have never seen anything stating that you need a supported gaming series motherboard to use the MSI Gaming App - maybe for other features if it has any, but the gaming app I used when I got my card was a little box with a few options for the GPU on it. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver already unfortunately, using both AMD CCUU and a second attempt with DDU. No change at all, the exact same error message.
But as I've said, the fact that there is more than one person reporting this and older drivers make the gaming app work, it's definitely a software ended problem on certain configurations. I have installed driver 14.4 now and can once again use the gaming app, just as someone with a different card and different motherboard has stated in another thread. xxhttps://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=251885.0xx this solution however is not really acceptable.

MSI Gaming App not showing GPU

I need help, today I was updating some stuff thruogh the MSI Live Update 6 and when I started the MSI Gaming App the GPU information was gone.
Im using the 4.0.0.04 version. Please help :(

Which graphics card you have?
what MSI Live Update 6 version you are using? are you using the latest 6.0.016?
could you check the history of what you updated last time?
could your post your screenshot of the GPU information in MSI Gaming App ?

MSI Gaming app causing issues. GTX 770 GPU.

I bought my MSI 770 card back in August and over the last few weeks I have noticed a problem. At random times my browser will get some strange pixels and closing the browser does not fix it. I have narrowed he problem down to the MSI Gaming App. I use this app when I play games and always overclock with this app. Lately I have been playing BF4. I noticed my BF4 game crashes less when I don't use the app as well.
In order for my browser (Chrome) to function properly again I have to close out of the MSI Gaming app. Does this mean my card is failing? I am about to buy my 2nd MSI 770 here in a week or two and would like to get this sorted out before hand.
Here is a pic of the browser after the problem occurs. My sig has specs.
Thanks

if you don't use this app. do you have such issues?
Good question. I always use this app so my time spent not using it is very little. I will stop using it starting now and see if I have this problem at all this weekend. Typically this happens daily so we shall see.

MSI gaming APP

I have fitted a MSI GTX960 Gaming 4GB in my Dell XPS8700, it is a great upgrade from gtx745 !
At the moment, referring to reviews/benchmarks the extra 2GB really doesn't make a huge difference...only betting on longer run, games will want more memory so went for 4GB instead...
The only "issue" is with the MSI software. GPU comes with 3 msi software: 3D photo viewer/ msi afterburner and msi gaming app.
XPS8700 will not start "MSI gaming APP", which allow you to choose between: OC mode/ Gaming mode/ Silent mode. Any idea why my dell cannot open this? (I have also tried the latest software from MSI)
The MSI afterburner software is quite too difficult to use for overclocking the GPU; I tried some setup, only to find black screens and crashes when playing games...It is fine when I reset it to "factory" setting.
Cheers

Hi, thanks for trying to help...
I will try to answer to the best of my knowledge :
http://eu.msi.com/product/vga/GTX-960-GAMING-4G-LE.html#hero-overview
I first installed the software which came with the card: didn't work
Then installed MSI Gaming APP from here (it says 06/02/15) 4.0.0.2:
https://gaming.msi.com/article/msi-gaming-app-article
Uninstalled/deleted folder, reinstalled as suggested still didn't work. Even if I right click on icon "run as administrator", I get a pop up window then same again, just nothing after that.
I checked: Microsoft.NET Framework, it is up to date: 4.5.1
Windows is up to date....
Many Thanks

MSI Gaming App Issues

MSI gaming app and GTX760

After latest update for my MSI twin frozr gtx760, when i start MSI gaming app and turn gaming mode i get blue screen. I rly don't know what to do. Anyone else got some bad experience with it?

I have the latest version of the Gaming App. I am using the current driver for this card from the MSI download section for this card. So Nvidia prohibited putting more than 3Gb on a 780? That is depressing and frustrating. I got this card because I enjoy PC gaming on big monitors with high resolutions (not 1080P TV's) and I figured the high VRAM would help run games at high settings on the kinds of monitors I prefer. I was gaming on a 30" Samsung monitor @2560x1600 and now I am using a 34" 21:9 LG monitor @3440x1440. I'm starting to get a bit of a feeling like I wasted my money buying this card. I mean Nvidia is going to poopoo all over having extra VRAM on a 780, the MSI Gaming App won't work for an MSI card and even MSI Afterburner won't read the VRAM correctly on this MSI card.
Oh well, it's the card's fault and the card seems to run alright, but it doesn't seem to be running much better than the 3Gb EVGA 780 that the 6Gb card replaced. I am starting to wonder if I am not getting the best performance out of the card that I should.
