MSI GE600 Drivers of ATI 5730

Hi all and sorry for my english.
I have a MSI GE600-023
My question is simply :
can i install the generic driver of ATI => http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx for my GE600
or
I must use obligatory the MSI driver => http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=nbdriver&maincat_no=135&prod_no=2017
Thx for your answer.

I recently found that the ge600 can be successfully updated to catalyst 12.6 (june 2012) with a method very similar to pmignault's solution. The only difference is an extra step to install 11.8 drivers in between. Going from msi drivers to 12.6 directly will not work.
Here's how I got it to work on a fresh win7 x64 install:
1. Install 5730 drivers from msi (6/28/10 release)
2. Reboot and go into bios. Set graphics options to "PEG"
3. Go into windows 7 and install catalyst 11.8 whql (i'm not allowed to post links, but search "amd catalyst 11.8 whql guru3d forums" in google. should be the first result)
4. Reboot and go into windows 7 again. Now install 12.6 whql (got it from guru3d forums as well)
5. Reboot and go into bios. Set graphics back to "SG"
6. Enjoy
Notes:
-Do not uninstall any drivers in between steps. Install everything over what is already there (this is usually not advised, but it's the only way you can preserve graphics switching for ge600)
-For all the installations, I chose the express option which installs everything in the package. I tried just installing the graphics driver and CCC, but it didn't work out for me
-I couldn't get this to work with the newest 12.8 drivers, but I was satisfied with 12.6 since i was previously stuck with 11.8's. I'll keep trying as new driver releases come out.

the last drivers released by MSI (2010/06/28) (http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=nbdriver&maincat_no=135&prod_no=2017) has included for the HD5730 the last drivers released by ATI (2010/06/16) (http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx) ?
to update to the last MSI drivers, must i only execute de setup.exe and install? or must i first uninstall the old drivers and then install the new drivers?

MSI GE600 - Simple Communication Controller Drivers

Hi,
I recently purchased two MSI GE600 notebooks. The notebook came with Windows 7 Home Premium, which I replace with Windows 7 Ultimate. My problem is that I'm missing a driver for "Simple Communication Controller"
I have installed all the drivers provided by MSI on their website, but still can't figure out what I'm missing.
Thanks in advance,
PC

MSI GE700 ATI 5730 issue

My GE700 is almost two weeks old and I use it for heavy gaming (starcraft 2 etc). I encountered a problem with my ATI 5730, the game freezed and I can hear a constant high pitched sound coming from the GPU fan, I was forced to turn off the computer manually and after reboot she worked fine. I want to know if this is too much stress (I have been playing for 4-5 hours prior to this happening), if so then what would be the recommended period for 'resting' the computer in order to avoid future problems? Do I need to have it checked to possibly repair or replace the GPU (it is still under warranty but I do not know if it will cover replacement of the GPU) ? Based on the notebookjournal.de review the ge700 has a good cooling system, did I just push it too far?
Thank you in advance

hey. Just watch our for Starcraft II. Lots of people have complained about the game frying their graphics cards due to the fact that no limit is placed on the frames per second the card generates. Thus if a pc/laptop has limited cooling or inadequate it can fry the card. Blizzard just brushed it off in the typical we don't give a crap corporate attitude.
The fix for this is here: http://scforum.info/index.php?topic=4406.0 . Hope it fixes it and that your card is not damaged.

Clean Install - use MSI System Drivers?

I have a question regarding a clean install.
Install operating system -> MSI Chipset Drivers then update on top using ATI Catalyst 8.4?, Realtek Audio Drivers and finally Realtek PCI-E Lan Drivers.
What is difference between the MSI Drivers and the Catalyst suite? They same to be the same:
Catalyst Control Centre
ATI Install Manager
North Bridge Filter Driver
ATI Display Manager
IDE Driver
Microsoft Visual C++
ATI Unified Stream Driver
except the MSI Drivers adds Avivo64 Driver
Also, I thought it was always best to unistall all ATI drivers before upgrading? - at least that is the concensus on the AMD forum.
Any advice is appreciated.

ATI Radeon 2900XT
OCZ PC2-6400 800Mhz 2 x 1024
Seagate 500GB 16MB cache SATA-2 HD
Mitsumi 1.44 internal 3.5 floppy / 6 in 1 card reader
Samsung 206BW

I guess that's where I'm confused.
It dosen't appear that the MSI system drivers are any different than the ATI catalyst drivers. The only difference is that the MSI drivers wanted to install Avivo64 on my system. Going to the ATI Catalyst site, it offers Avivo64 as a seperate download, but "Avivo Video Converter will only work with X1000 series products." http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=vista64/common-vista64 I have a 2900XT.
The Realtek audio and PCIe Ethernet drivers to install from the MSI site are in this case up to date and make sense.
So to ask in a different way, is there a problem with: OS first -> then the ATI Catalyst Suite (system drivers and display driver) - NOT install the MSI system drivers which appear to be outdated and the same as the ATI Catalyst Suite- then the Realtek Audio Driver, and finally the Realtek PCIe Ethernet driver.
Thanks

How to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.co ?

how to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.conf?

mawch wrote:how to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.conf?
Hello
I am using ati hd 3200 which is integrated with my motherboard. If you are using arch you can download & install through pacman. The package is named like catalyst*. You can install them by issuing as root user
#pacman -Sy
#pacman -S -l | grep -i catalyst
#pacman -S catalyst catalyst-utils
After installation reboot your machine in runlevel 1. (single mode). Ensure "fglrx" module is loaded correctly using
#lsmod | grep -i fglrx
If the resultant output have "fglrx" part the module is loaded correctly. The next step is to create a working /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Backup your current xorg.conf if needed.
#cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bkup
Then issue
#aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
This will create a new xorg.conf file. Now we can test our confign.
#telinit 3
I am using runlevel 3 to avoid graphic messup!!
issue
#gdm
If you graphical login screen works correctly there is nothing to do more except adjust your monitor resoloution as you like.
To know your ati driver is working correctly issue as root
#fgl_glxgears
If gears are rolling happily it seems correct. You can also know more about installed ati driver
#fglrxinfo
Now the installed driver version is in the output
If there is any problem try following
##### Soloutions to solve various display problems using ATI Catalyst Drivers in Linux #####
yes video playback is choppy until i ran :-
sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
Try adding the following to the 'Device' section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Option "TexturedVideo" "true"
### This is a half solution for mythtv problems. Run mythtv in window (no full screen) If You have a screen resolution of 1024x768 try the command;
mythfrontend --geometry 800x600
Append the "Device" Section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as follows;
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "TexturedVideo" "on"
Option "TexturedVideoSync" "on"
Option "Capabilities" "0x00000800"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Add following in the .bashrc of each user or /etc/bashrc file* Most Effective In My Case!!
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true
####### Arch Linux - Add the "nopat" option to the /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/grub.conf
####### as in the following example
title Archlinux Ice Kernel
root (hd0,1)

Hello,
I have recently downloaded et installed msi nvidia drivers for my NX6600 GT (agp and vivo). No problem. But i discovered this morning that a sw20.exe file was launched by the registry at windows start up. It took me a long time to discover that this file had been installed with the drivers.

MSI GE600 Problem/Questions

Hi first of all, my problem is when i play a game fps are fine and in a moment they drop from 60 to 30 (same example if i have 20 drops to 10) exactly to 50% all the time and then they go back to normal having the camera all the time in same place, when i went to the msi official web page i checked if there were newest drivers..
Ati mobility raedon hd 5730.
current drivers version: 8.683.0.0
latest drivers version: 8.733.2.0000
wondering if worth updating them or not.
Another question is, im thinking to change WDC WD5000BEVT-22A0R for SSD, i would like if i can put an ssd to my laptop.. i guess i can put an ssd 2.5" sata

I think i know where the problem come from, temperature processor reaches 90º and a little bit upper dunno what to do

MSI KT4 ULTRA-BFISR + Ati Radeon 9700 pro = not good??

Hello everybody!
First of all, i youst have to say that i think MSI have the best motherboards....
Here's the problem (i haven't buyed anything yet!):
I am going to buy MSI KT4 ULTRA-BFISR and ATI Radeon 9700 Pro, but i have read many places that Radeon aint working with MSI KT4-based cards! Im am going to buy an 520W Power (i aint so good in english so i hope you now what i write :D )
I am also going to buy 2 x Cosair pc3500 xms ram... Is this one working with the motherboard by the way?
But my question is: Will the Ati Radeon 9700 pro work with this card? (i must remember to buy the 1.3 version!) I am gonna get my Radeon 9700 pro from USA, how can i now when i order that is an 1.3 card?
Thank you for answering! :]

I think also that even there is two drivers, that is not a reaseon why it isn't work. One time I install only standard VGA drivers, but result was that I got two standard VGA driver. 8o
First time I try without VIA drivers, then with 4.42 and 4.43 VIA drivers. Result was almost same all the time, it always crash when Nature test start, but this exist also to older mobo (Abit KT7A-RAID). Problem exits few games they lock up or stuttering. Ati demos works fine, but one time that car demo stuttering a lot, but I transfer data at same, so I'm not sure what was reason.
This moment I don't have possibilities to try Hyperion 4.45 drivers or something else, because it's my friend computer.

MSI GE600 and DX11

To start: I'm running with the default (and seemingly only) graphics drivers that work with the ge600. I've also installed DX11 manually through the microsoft site.
I was playing around with the unigine heaven 2.0 and stone giant Directx11 benchmarks today just for the hell of it, and I noticed a few errors that bothered me. After looking at some other sites, it seems like other people might have similar problems too.
The first thing that happened was I can't run unigine heaven in full screen, i get the error message in the picture below. I have no clue what it means and if there is anyway to fix it. As of now no other games/programs have issues running in full screen, so I'm not sure if it's just the program, but it is still
something that shouldn't be happening.
Secondly, I noticed I can't turn tessellation on. I know my graphics card isn't the best, so it probably wouldn't even run it that well, but I was under the impression that the 5730 at least supported this function, so I should be able to turn it on. After looking at dxdiag, I saw that my DDI version is 10.1 which seems to suggest my card is not running dx11 (which would explain why tessellation doesn't work I suppose). There is a known issue with windows 7 apparently not recognizing dx11 cards/drivers and saying the DDI is 10.1 regardless of what is actually running. However, after applying the hotfix and uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers, dxdiag still says my DDI is 10.1. Seeing that programs don't seem to run in DX11 makes me think that my card is actually only running DX10.1 right now.
Granted, I know I won't be running games at high settings on dx11 with this card, but I hate feeling like something is wrong with my new computer, so if anyone can shed some light on the issue, that'd be great.

Does DualCoreCenter ONLY work with the MSI VGA Drivers?

I have the RX3870-T2D512E-OC Video Card using the latest Catalyst 8.5 drivers but DualCoreCenter does not see the video card at all. If this product only works with MSI drivers than it's total and utter crap for Video since the drivers are so far out of date for ATI that it is not funny by MSI. It detects the new K9A2 CF-F V2 mainboard just fine but not my video card.

So use the ATI drivers, then you have all the options except the MSI extra's.
MSI can't release drivers without testing, so it takes a bit of time.
BTW, GPU Scaling was already in Catalist 8.30, MSI has 8.45 online, ATI is at 8.50
I wouldn't consider that far behind.
BTW, why do you consider a bit older driver useless? Any reason why you must have the latest driver?
Only a few games require to have the latest drivers at all.
I myself never use the latest ATI drivers, I prefer the better tested MSI version, even when it's a few months behind.
And I have never seen a game that had problems with it.

Msi ge600 switchable graphics , help plz

hey guys ,
i tried to update my graphics and i downloaded the latest version (compatible) and followed these steps to install it :
1.- Reboot your laptop and enter the BIOS
2.- Go into the graphic properties and select "PEG" as the default graphic card.
3.- Reboot into Windows 7.
4.- Download and install the drivers from the support page of amd
5.- Reboot into the BIOS and set the graphic card back to switchable graphics.
but it didnt work , my graphics wont switch , now im stuck and cant do anything . games wont run properly and ...
plz help me ,
tnx in advance

Try to use the driver from MSI download page. The generic driver from AMD support page can't support switchable graphics feature.

In search of drivers for ATI Radeon 7000

I recently purchased a used ATI Radeon 7000 PCI video card for my G3 beige, OS 9.2.2. This is an older model card with just the single VGA output. This comes up as card name "ATI, Bluestar", and card model "ATI, RV100" under Apple System Profiler so I'm a bit confused about that to start with. However, since ASP recognizes it I guess it seems to work though I haven't plugged my monitor into it yet.
The problem is the drivers.
I went to ATI's website to look for drivers to download to get this card working. They have an OS9 updater (ati-retail-9-2-2-jan2005.hqx) that should install a bunch of components. When I run it it only installs a partial set, contrary to what it says it should do. I've seen other postings on Apple Discussions about problems with this installer. ATI seems to make it impossible to contact them other than by telephone which is only open to original purchasers so I can't even tell them there's a problem (much less expect them to do anything about it). A search for Bluestar or RV100 reveals nothing on ATI's website.
Has anybody gotten this installer to work? Is there some other source for drivers for this card? Can somebody e-mail them to me (I don't think this violates any rules since in theory they are openly down-loadable)?
Thanks,
Brian
G3 beiges:DT, 9.2.2, 120GBide; DT, 9.2.2/OS X.3, 120GBide; MT, 8.6/9.2.2, 128MB,

Thanks to all for answering my questions. I decided in the end to just plug my monitor into the card and give it a try despite not haveing the groundwork properly set up. It works so it must be a Mac version of the card. This website (http://www.welovemacs.com/radeon7000vga.html) describes the card, including the model number (but I paid a LOT, LOT less than their price!).
Yes, the installer does put all kinds of things in the System, but not the promised control panel. It looks like the CP isn't essential to the working of the card so I'm not worrying anymore. I used the Apple monitors control panel to set the resolution a few times but it froze up on me once when setting it to 640x480. After that I pulled a copy of Super Res that I had in storage and have been using that.
As to the graphics acceleration, it's kind of hard to tell. I tried viewing a mp4 video clip I have with Quicktime 6. Before the card I could maybe watch a minute before my computer would freeze up. Now I can watch maybe 3 minutes before it freezes up, but the video is very jerky, even when compared to the one minute before card installation. I may now be experiencing the limitations of my 266 MHz G3 in terms of decoding mp4, but this doesn't explain why video seemed smoother before, brief though it was before a freeze.
I then tried a video game. Actually video wasn't too slow with this even with my old configuration. Now things seem to hesitate when the play gets busy and it remids me of when I used to play Crystal Quest on a Mac SE. In this case the card has made things slower.
With general scrolling I don't really notice a difference. There's still hesitation at times. In all the cases I have mentioned the ATI thing in the menu bar says grahics acceleration is on.
So in actuality I haven't really noticed any improvement with this card. If anybody has any tips on ways to tune the system to take more advantage of the card I'd welcome them.
Thanks,
Brian

MSI GE600 SSD Install

Hello there, I'm gonna buy a SSD for my ge600 but i need to know what kind of ssd is compatible with my laptop, i guess sata 3 ssd 2.5" is enough
how to i check my compatibility?

There's a user here that received a response from MSI support stating only Intel SSDs were recommended for the laptops he was inquiring about. I don't believe the GE600 was one he asked about, but, I will say there are several people on these forums that have better luck using Intel SSDs than other brands.
FYI, responses given here are not official MSI support. We are all users, including the admins and mods, none get paid. There are a couple of MSI techs that do post, but they post rarely to the point we can pretty much say that 99.99999% of the responses you will receive are from users.

its probably because there was some chatter that you have to have a patched xorg-server since xorg upgraded to 1.8. Go through the AMD/ATI Bar and Grill thread (last few pages) to see if a solution is available. But that could be old news.
Which version of catalyst drivers are you using?
