MSI GeForce FX 5600 256MB DDR with BIG FAN!

Hi,
I was thinking in buying a new video card and a MSI Geforce FX 5600 256MB DDR is a very good choice for me, but i realised that despite the fact, that its a 256MB DDR running at 400Mhz, compared with the 550Mhz of the GFFX 5600 of 128MB DDR and i was thinking in buying a bigger cooling solution to replace the bundled one with the card. So i could overclock the mem frecuency at 550Mhz. So my question is, do you know of a good and not so expensive cooling solution for the card??.

Companies like Zalman and Vantec has to offer some nice and quiet cooling solutions.See video card's RAM specs for that kind of o/c.

MSI GeForce FX5600-TD 256Mb Tv-Out, DVI

Hallo!
I have a AND XP 2000+, 512 DDR 266, MSI KT3-Ultra, MSI GeForce FX5600-TD 256Mb Tv-Out, DVI
and a 450W psu. Win XP Professional sp1
I have a problem with games and when i tested in 3dMark.
It's score bad.
3dMark2003: 2312
All drivers are up to date and i have tried to reinstall all components
Can Somebody help me Please? ;(

sorry but the only way you will improve your score is to lose the MSI FX6500. This is a renault 5 in ferrari clothing. It simply does not have the necessary fill rate to compete with even a Ti4200, trust me I spent 2 weeks trying to get it running to spec.
Basically only an Ultra or FX5900 will improve it.
Nvidia boobed on the design of the Graphics processor, the card can throw out frames well beyong a ti4200 capability but because it cant fill them quick enough it cant maintain the framerate.....still dont believe me ? Try thi, run 3d MARK, any version, in 640X480, youll notice that the score doesnt improve dramtically. 640X480 should mean more FPS but still no fill rate so it cant process any quicker.
I am well pi**ed of with my FX5600.

Performance Problems with GeForce FX 5600 256mb Video Card

I recently purchased the GeForce FX 5600 VTD 256mb video card to replace my old ATi Radeon 8500 64mb card. I'm running an AMD 2800XP+ on an MSI K7N2 Delta-L, with 1gb of PC 2100 on Windows XP Pro.
I installed the latest drivers (from the EGA site) and ran 3DMark 2001 SE. My score for the old card (a 64mb card) was about 9200. My score for the new 256mb card is only 8700. My roommate has a GeForce 4 TI4600 128mb video card. We put his card in my computer, and I scored 11117. According to PCStats.com, the FX 5600 128mb version scored about 11000.
I've tried everything I can think of to ensure my video card is working properly, but I still get low scores. I don't know if I'm missing something somwhere, but there has to be a way to get more performance out of the video card. Can anyone help me out here?

Yeah, I've ran the driver cleaner after changing each driver. And I've tried several drivers with the new card. I've even changed the clock settings a bit, which has helped bring the scores up to around 9000. Still way off from the GeForce 4 or the 128mb version of the 5600.

Pb with msi Geforce fx 5200 128 DDR

Hello,
I'am writting to ask if there is a solution to my pb of compatibilty with this
card, I have burned 3 motherboard with it :
- 2 Elite K6s5A
- 1 Asusrock
Since I pur the card to the AGP Slot it burn it, so that when i test with other card
it doesn't work anymore.
Strange when I see it working with an old motherboard for celeron.
I have a guarantie for those but i would like to know where is the pb
Thanck u
Sam

Your mobo should at least have an AGP port that is capable of handling at least 4x AGP slot.

Query: MSI GeForce FX 5200VTD 128MB DDR VIVO TV-Out/DVI (AGP)

does this card support 4x ?? i know it migth sound like a noob remark but i dont want to purchase it if it doesnt lol..

I think all 5200's are 8X AGP but are very weak cards.
Quote
P.S. Look at a GeForceFX 5900XT 128Mb or a Radeon 9800Pro 128Mb. They are the best bang for the buck
I think its time to upgrade VGA cards Deathstalker we went from top of the line to bang for the buck cards

GeForce FX 5600 problems

I recently bought a MSI GeForce FX 5600 256MB.
After installation, when turning on the computer, I get video problems (small "dots" stochasticly spread over the screen). This problem still appears after installing the latest drivers. Tried the card on another PC, same motherboard as I have, the problem is there as well.

I have the same problem here using the DVI out when the refresh rate is set AT MORE than 60 Hz. I have tried to uninstall the drivers and reinstall and after, I have no choice of refresh frequency. The card is stuck at 60 Hz on the DVI out. No more dots but sore eyes !!! ;(
So I switch back to the analog output and it provide up to 1280X1024 @ 75 Hz which is what my sreen can support and it works perfectly. I guess using the analog output would be best for the moment since I have tried another brand new FX5600 and still have the same problem.
I think the FX5600 is still a good card anyway ! Difference between DVI and analog out ?? Could not tell on my screen so why not use the analog output then ?!
CLICK HERE (.wmv 280k) to see a small video of what I see on my ViewSonic VP171b LCD display . Really small flickering dots on some region of the screen.
I have contact ViewSonic and they are not aware of that problem and told me it was the video card that would probably cause the problem. I guess they were right reading this thread !

Need help with my GeForce FX 5600

:( ;( :( ;( :( ;( :( ;( :( ;( :( ;( :( ;( :
Please could some body tell me what is wrong with my geforce fx 5600 vtdr 128 graphics card
I have recently purchased the card and have noticed that in powerstrip and 3d mark it states that the core clock speed is 54.0 mhz and the memory clock speed is 100.4 mhz
I know this is wrong because it states on MSI's website that the core clock speed is 325 mhz and the memory clock speed is 550 mhz
Please could somebody help me with information or how to correct the problem or if this is normal
Thanks very much, help would be much appreciated.
Here are my current system specs incase this has some effect or is the cause of these unusual clock speeds

Can you play your games better than you could with your old graphics card? Can you get high resolution and nice pretty textures?
If so, why worry about the numbers pumped out of a piece of software that doesn't let you wander about shooting aliens (or whatever your gaming bag is)?

Orm,
To start with your power supply could be too weak to run the Athlon XP(Guessing you have an Athlon XP) and the GF4 under load. 150W combined and 14A on the 3.3v RAIL is not enough.
You could try removing your your firewire, sound and nic cards, and unplugging your two CD Drives.
See if you can get any farther then. Also get the latest Detonator Drivers from the nVidia Website. They should be on 41.09 now.
Good Luck,
Richard
P.S. Which OS are you running?

Try disabling AGP fast writes.
If you have a passively coold FX it's possible it's heating up, you should try it with the case open or with a fan over the heatsink.

MSI GeForce 4 Ti 4200 128 DDR (Direct3D problem)

I bought the MSI GeForce 4 Ti 4200 128 DDR just today and I seem to be experiencing Direct3D issues. I never have problems with general use of the video card, but when I try to play games that require 3D acceleration I get crashes (Blue screen of Death). The reason why I think it is the Direct3D is because I only get problems when attempting to run 3D accelerated games, and I've downloaded a couple video test programs off of the net and they have crashed when testing 3D as well. ?( I just ran dxdiag and it failed when I test Direct3D:
Direct3D test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x887602eb (error code)
Questions: Has anyone had this issue before and is it fixable without me returning the card for a different one?
Thanks,
Brent

Sorry about that, I should have put that in the first message.
I run Win 2000 server and I did a clean install (format drive) when I got the new video card. I have a Pentium 3, 800 Mhz 256 MBs RAM. The motherboard is an AOpen AX3S with all Intel chips.
My previous video Card was an ATI Rage Fury 32 MB and it ran all my games with Direct3D, but usually with low frames per second.
The only thing I changed was the video card and the drivers of course. I'm really trying to avoid sending the card back. ;( Any suggestion would be helpful.. Thank you!
Brent
P.S. I tried to run that 3D Mark program that people use to test their video cards and that failed before it finished, so my score must be 0.

Problem with MSI Board and MSI Geforce 4 with Windows XP

I have a MSI 845E Max(MS-6566E)
MSI Geforce 4 - 420
Celeron 1.7 gig
Soundblaster Live
2 Network Cards
and the usual stuff.
I have loaded Windows 98 on my system and it works fine. But then I load Windows XP on and the system starts rebooting. After it reboots my video resets itself and I have to load it back in. I will then reboot and sometimes it will work, sometimes it will not. I try playing a game or even searching the net for awhile, but out of the blue the system will give a very quick blue screen and reboot. And of course when it boots up the video is reset. I loaded all the drivers I could find on MSI's website and used every video driver made by Nvidia and MSI. If I do a Windows XP update to my system the computer will not even boot up. it will just keep rebooting when it is trying to bring up the login screen. Anyone else run into this with Windows XP?

My system sometime freezes. Why ???

Hello there,
I have bought a mobo yesterday (848p NEO V) then when I tried to plug the graphic card (Ge Force FX 5600 point of view) the computer reboots just before entering Win XP PRO.
So I tried another graphic card (ATI 9200), all worked fine.
In the same way, I tried my GeForce in another mobo (ECS P4VXAS) and of course all worked fine.
Each time I tried the MSI mobo with the GeForce card (using diffrents drivers), it doesn't work.
Does someone know where could this problem come from?
Thank you very much
PS: Sorry for my ugly english.
