MSI Geforce FX 5900SP 128Mb or NOT?
Me and my friend just bought new MSI Geforce FX 5900SP 128Mb that came also with that VIVO cable and other accessories. I also looked on the sticker that was on the back side of the card and there it was writen that this card is 5900SP. All OK!
This card came in OEM version! Then I took a look around and I saw on the MSI internet site and elsewhere that 5900SP has also a heatsinks on the RAM. And my card does not have that heatsink on the ram that looks like a cooper half-circle around the GPU HSF.
My card looks same as MSI Geforce FX 5900XT which is not coz I have a VIVO function. Take a look for the MSI geforce FX 5900XT which does not have that heat sinks on the ram.
My ram is clocked as follows 2D: 300/700 and 3D: 400/700.
Anyone there with this version of FX 5900SP card - without the heatsinks on the RAM?
Just curious what I have?!
Go to the link provided below and get the zipped excel spreadsheet that is provided by GlennVidia. It should answer your question I believe.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=12335&sid=
I have the 5900FXSP 256mb which comes with a twin flow cooling system. (2 fans, one on each side incl the copper heatsink) where yours I believe is the 128mb SP version that comes with a fansink cooling system as a standard. The spec sheet points out the differences between the products.
Hope this helps

MSI Geforce 4 Ti4200 128mb, TV IN Capture
I recently purchaced a MSI Geforce 4 Ti4200 128mb (VTD) and im unable to get the tv in to work. Ive installed the nvidia capture drivers and connected the s-video lead from my VCR to my card. Is there a program i need to open or somthing in order to capture?
first. after instaling the wdm driver yous system sholud recognize 4 new devices...
the most important for you is the Nvidia WDM Video Capture (universal) couze it is the device that will by used to capture the video signal....
now you shoul use some program to view the video signal... any editing software should have some module to capture the video.. also if you have a bundled inter video software instal the winocoder as it is one of best (for me) viewers of the video in signal....
to capture the video you can use the inter video software (mpeg1 mpeg2) but try to use virtualdub's capture module as it alows to capture to any instaled codec ...and it is for free (http://www.sourceforge.net), you can also use windows media player if you dont have any other software -
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.

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 -
MSI GeForce 4 TI 4200 and random lockups
Hey guys, i just got a new Geforce card, installed it, and i cant do ANYTHING even remotely related to graphics (even small animated movies on the internet) without a hard lockup or my screen going blank.

tiaOrm,
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? -
GeForce FX 5200 128MB Nightmate Freezes!
Thank God I found my way here. It seems like the only place where I can post my nightmare experience with the MSI GeForce FX 5200 128MB.
Basically, my system freezes all the time, randomly when I am browsing, doing nothing, and most of the time when I am trying to view pictures. It does not freeze while watching videos, it does not freeze while playing games either. Sometimes I also see the monitor singal disapear for a second, black screen, then it comes back in a second, especially when trying to view a picture. Sometimes it freezes when trying to save a picture too.
Only today, it did something even more odd.. I was trying to view a TIF image using the windows xp image normal viewer, which views jpgs and others pictures, and the same scenario happened, only this it happened continously. I mean by that the singal on the monitor kept coming and going many times, black screen then viewer generating picture (only generating - it was not displayed), then black screen, then trying to generate the picture, then blackscreen and so on. I had to click on the CLOSE (X) button on the picture generator window when the screen was not black, in order for it to stop losing the singal and coming back continously.
Please help me.. I think it is a fault with my video card. Do I need bios update for it? Do I need higher rate power supply? What exactly is wrong?!
My System Specs:
PIII 933MHz
Acer motherboard (Intel Chispet 815)
384 MB SDRAM
30GB Hard Disc (Master Primary)
1 CD-RW Drive (master Secondary)
Power Supply 145W
Sound Blaster AudigyArchahmudo,
I am not an expert on power supplies but I think 145 watt are too low. Geforce Fx only requires 75 watts.
We have similar systems. I have a peintium ||| 733Mhz with msi geforce fx 5200 128Mb. The difference is that I have two hard disks and two drives(Cd rwiter and DVD rom) which means that my computer will need more power than yours. My audio card is sound blaster live 4.1.
My power supply is 250 watts(although migth seems a little low) my computer works fine.
There is an articcle in these forums about power supplies that migth help you. Here is the link

Problem with MSI Nvidia GeForce 6800 LE (128MB) when playing 3D games
Games problem
I have bought a new MSI Nvidia GeForce 6800 LE (128MB) a couple of months ago and have been have loads of trouble when playing games.
In windows, the graphics card works fine. The computer never crashes and everything is speedy. Movies on DVD, Xvid, Divx all play fine without problem, the most I get is the occasional freezing and then windows will be normal again.
The problem arises when I try to play a 3D game. When I load up the game it goes into the menu screens ok, the computer will load up the 3D engine and it will play for around a minute nice and crisp then the screen will go blank and computer will lock up. Then all the drives will go quiet and the computer will make 3 beeps with the PC speaker. Pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL at this point does nothing, nor does the reset button. I have to turn the power on and off.
I really have no clue why this is happening, I have taken the covers off and kept it in a cool area, hoping that it was something to do with over heating, my computer is not overly cluttered and this has made no difference.
I have also unplugged the CDR, DVDR, USB ports, one Hard drive (storage) to see if it was something to do with the power no getting to the Videocard and then tried to play a game and the same problem arose.
I have two games that I have tried, Tiger woods 2005 and doom III, both of which crash in the same manner.
I have tried to be as detailed as I can with the descritopn of my computer below and the power details I'm not sure about so I posted a picture of the power unit to help.
Many thanks for your help in this matter, I'm desperately trying to get some worth out of this card and feel frustrated that its going bonkers only when trying to play games :/
Please tell me if you require further information about the system.

antec
From what I have read, the Antec PSUs have good reliability and ratings. I looked around and saw this one: Antec NEOPower 480W ATX PSU for around £65. I also went read that article posted by Dr Stu, which then stumbled on more articles about PSUs.
I have a couple more questions….
The rating of my system (http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/Power_Supply_Calculator.php) with all the components running came out to be 422W. So do you think that the Antec NEOPower 480W ATX PSU would be sufficient for the computer considering I might add more RAM in the future?
Or should I buy the 500W+ one then?
Does anyone know if the Antec PSUs are quiet? My current q-Tec one makes me feel I'm in an aeroplane.
lucky I read the forum!
I was in Maplins (computer shop) at lunch and thought, that shiny 650W Q-Tec looks nice and there looks like loads of power, that much do the trick. i got to the counter and thought.....let me wait, till i get home from work and read some more on the forum about this PSU issue.
Thanks god I didn’t buy that S***. having read some of the reviews, i would have wasted loooots of money for nothing. -
MSI GeForce 6200 128MB running DVI 1680x1050
Hello,
My VGA is MSI GeForce 6200 128MB. VGA driver is GeForce 175.19
Monitor is Samsung T200 with native resolution 1680x1050 and DVI input.
When I set resolution to 1680x1050 using DVI output, desktop is streched wider than screen and I have to scroll down for taskbar or scroll right to show clock for example. Setting resolution at 1680x1050 using analog output, it looks fine except that desktop icons are slightly streched verticaly.
How can I get correct picture in DVI? Is it driver problem and what version is recommended to install?
Thanks&RegardsAlrite thanks, I’ll see what I can do. A friend told me that older drivers might be more convenient for 6200 and he mentioned 91.31. So I might go with that.
Also browsing other forums I found this solution, and they said it will work well with static screens but not so well when playing games. Well this might be the last alternative, providing I don’t find solution with drivers.

MSI GeForce 210 not post in Sapphire A9RX480 mobo?!
This is a bit nuts. The MSI card is GeForce 210-MD512H:
http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N210-MD512H.html#?div=Specification%22
...witch is basicaly fanless budget MSI GeForce 210 with 589/1024MHz clocks and 512MB DDR2 ram. All in all a budget card to do the work required and that it is. I never expect playing Crysis on it... maybe SoF2... lol!
However I wanted to use it in my Sapphire "Grouper" A9RX480 mobo (that is ATI chipset RX480-450 for SB) and it refuse to post. When I plug there my old good PNY GeForce 7800, then (even w/o the external power cable connected - DOS only, true) everything seems working out nicely!
Now that is a bit insane. Any suggested bios settings to make the card work? The mobo is fine, memtest passed all tests and never had a problem with it...
Yes, it is claimed to be 16x PCIEx speed... shall I try 8x? Or what should I do? The card is also tested in another computer and it is working nicely there...!Oooops, I'm sorry. When way more powerfull and way more PSU demanding 7800 GTX works fine, then I never even mind that any other information is necessary, but whatever. Here we go:
Board: Sapphire A9RX480 "Grouper"
Bios: oldest and even latest official version available tried, even moded version: http://ax2.old-cans.com/grouper - still same problem!
VGA: MSI GeForce 210-MD512H ( http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N210-MD512H.html#?div=Specification )
PSU: Enermax 620W Liberty
CPU: Opteron 148
MEM: Mushkin Enhanced DDR400 PC3200 (can do 2-2-2-5 :D - memtest fine)
HDD: none
COOLER: Zalman CNPS 9500 Led
OC: none
OS: none
It is just a mainboard, PSU and floppy sitting on chair near monitor (Eizo F35 Flexscan) for testing... Nothing else.
Tried 8x settings in the PCIE Bus Width, no difference :(
Some BIOS settings are really interesting - how about these?
LTD Configuration - Enabled
Upstream LTD Bus Width - 16bit
Downstream LTD Bus Width - 16bit
LTD Bus Frequency - Auto (1GHz, 800MHz, 600MHz, 400MHz, 200MHz)
(I know, this have more to do with the CPU memory controler that GFX card, but who knows?)
PCIE GFX Core Payload Size - 64Bytes (32Bytes, 16Bytes)
PCIE GPP Core Payload Size - 64Bytes (32Bytes, 16Bytes)
NB-SB Port Configuration - Default (Enhanced)
PCI-E GFX Link Width - x16 (x12, x8, x4, x2, x1)
Assign IRQ For VGA - Enabled (Disabled)
...any suggestions? Tried 32Bytes (for the PCIE GFX Core Payload Size|PCIE GPP Core Payload Size settings), but no change. Eg. NO POST with this MSI card...
Additional info about the card: it is MSI GeForce 210-MD512H, on the PCB is near the heatsink and PCIE connector:
"V201" "VER: 1.1" and "Product of China" and near the "no trash" symbol is "D33008"
From the bottom side, there is a big letters "N1996" after a "Nike" checkmark and at the end of the PCB, some probably manufacture info:
APCB M3 94V-0
RU 0942 E230435
E129N4774BB
Bought the card from friend, who replaced it with faster one. Tried with another computer, where it worked just fine (IIRC Gigabyte mainboard, but not sure about it) ...
Is there any bios fix for this card that help me out? -
hey guys,
has anyone ever checked MSI Geforce FX 5200 T128 with Riva Tuner to check if it is 64 bit or 128 bit, please help meits 64 bit anyway if ur talking about the mem not sure on the gpu either 128 bit or 256

HELP ! System freezes now with new MSI GeForce 6600GT AGP
Any/All help is greatly appreciated... this is driving me crazy.
Just installed a new MSI 6600GT AGP card. Windows/Apps work fine.. but system keeps freezing (disabling keyboard as well) when running certain games (3D?) like Medal of Honor, Prince of Perisa, SplinterCell. Also, freezes on 3DMark01SE benchmark software. What strange is 3DMark2K5 ran fine.. and returned a respectable score (3078). I've tried unistalling/re-installing latest MSI drivers (71.22), Nvidia's 66.93, and removing nVidia's GART drivers. I've also disconnected other hardware to allieviate PSU constraints. I've uninstalled/re-installed 6600GT card and molex power connector on card. My system specs are below:
Motherboard = ASUS Focus A7N8X-LA, BIOS=American Megatrend 3.07, Chipset = nVidia nForce2
MSI GeForce 6600GT 128 AGP
1Gb Ram
200Gb Maxtor 8mb buffer HD
ASUS E616P1 DVD-ROM
RICOH MP5240A DVD+RW
Enermax EG375P-VE SFMA PSU (has separate 12V rails)
Any suggestions as to what else to try? Getting ready to RMA this card.Quote from: andysue on 23-February-05, 07:34:53
Thanks for that Crull.
I have just found this on a site it may help someone, I hope to get my replacement tomorrow I shall let you know how it goes.
Question
I just got a K8 series MB , and your A6600GT 128MB VGA , every time when I quit the 3D games ,
the system gave me a blue screen and then restart the system. I already update the VGA driver and MB
driver but no luck , what can I do?
Answer
If your system are WinXP + SP2 , We suggest you to disable DEP function.
Please follow below steps to disable the DEP. (See below picture)
1. First , Select “Advanced” under “System Properties”
2. Choose “Settings” under “Startup and Recovery”
3. Click “ Edit “ , then you can edit “boot.ini” file.
4. Change “/NoExecute=OptIn” as “/execute” (See below red square in step4)
5. Then save the boot.ini file and restart the system.
6. After rebooting , the DEP function will be disable.
Other information please see below link :

http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/info/bootini.shtml
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/sp2mempr.mspx
• /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN Enables DEP for core system images and those specified in the DEP
configuration dialog.
• /NOEXECUTE=OPTOUT Enables DEP for all images except those specified in the DEP
configuration dialog.
• /NOEXECUTE=ALWAYSON Enables DEP on all images.
• /NOEXECUTE=ALWAYSOFF Disables DEP.
Configuration Description
OptIn
(default configuration)
On systems with processors capable of hardware-enforced DEP, DEP is
enabled by default for limited system binaries and applications that
“opt-in,”
With this option, only Windows system binaries are covered by DEP by
default.
OptOut DEP is enabled by default for all processes. Users can manually create
a list of specific applications which do not have DEP applied using
System in Control Panel. IT Pros and Independent Software Vendors
(ISVs) can use the Application Compatibility Toolkit to opt-out one or
more applications from DEP protection. System Compatibility Fixes
(“shims”) for DEP do take effect.
AlwaysOn This provides full DEP coverage for the entire system. All processes
always run with DEP applied. The exceptions list for exempting
specific applications from DEP protection is not available. System
Compatibility Fixes (“shims”) for DEP do not take effect. Applications
which have been opted-out using the Application Compatibility Toolkit
run with DEP applied.
AlwaysOff This does not provide any DEP coverage for any part of the system,
regardless of hardware DEP support. The processor does not run in
PAE mode unless the /PAE option is present in the boot entry.
Yes let us know how it goes. Hopefully well. -
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 3 Ti200 Driver Updates for ME
Why can't the drivers be updated past 44.03 in Windows ME?
Multi-boot two operating systems
Abit KG7-Raid
AMD Athlon XP 1800+
512 MB DDR
MSI Geforce3 Ti-200 TD Pro:
MSI 44.03 drivers with Windows ME
Nvidia 52.16 drivers with Windows XP Pro

Cambridge Sound Works FPS2000 Digital Surround Speakers

IBM 10 GB HD
Yamaha CDRW
Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro
Microsoft Intellimouse Optical
US Robotix 56K modem (until NOV. 20, 2003 when cable broadband available )
I run all my games on WME so that I have more RAM available for the game (XP is memory hog) and because my flight control setup (CH Force FX {14 programmable buttons}, CH Pro Throttle {20 programmable buttons}, CH Pedals) is not recognized in WXP.
I received HALO as a birthday gift. It loaded fine. I ran it and it continually locked up at the main menu screen of the game. The Audio part of the game continued to advance, but the video got stuck. My wife loaded the game and tried to run it and got the same results, she has only WXP for an OS on an MSI K7T 266 Pro 2 RU motherboard. She upgraded her MSI Geforce3 Ti-200 TD Pro drivers from MSI 44.03 to NVIDIA 52.16 and HALO then ran flawlessly.
MSI has upgraded drivers 45.32 and Nvidia has upgraded drivers 45.23. Both of these drivers locked up my machine each and everytime I installed them. My machine runs the NVIDIA 56.12 drivers without any problem on Windows XP PRO. I had to uninstall the MSI 45.32 and/or NVIDIA 45.23 drivers and reload the MSI 44.03 drivers to get WME to boot up. HALO will not run on the 44.03 drivers. One of the techs from microsoft called me at home the last two nights in a row to try and resolve this issue. Conclusion at end of night one was updated video drivers needed to be installed. Conclusion at end of night two was that there was a hardware problem with the the conclusion that video card was not accepting drivers above 44.03 for the Windows Millenium Edition Operating System. There was no listing at either NVIDIA or MSI video driver site for any drivers beyond 44.03 other than NVIDIA 45.23 or MSI 45.32 respectively.
The burning question is this: As with some of the previous NVIDIA drivers are the new releases compatible with all of the operating systems? I ask this because looking in the NVIDIA 52.16 drivers folder that gets extracted I see references in the read me file to W98,W98SE,WME. Why does the MSI Geforce 3 Ti-200 card accept the NVIDIA 52.16 drivers with WXP PRO and not the NVIDIA 45.23 not the MSI 45.32 drivers with WME (and I assume W98 & W98SE?)
Interested in the response.
Thanks.Judging from the problems I and several other people on the forum have mentioned, there seems to be a problem with the nVidia 45.23 drivers and video. I get a grey screen with vids unless i turn down the hardware accel to almost nothing. Other people can get vid to show on their tv out. So if you havn't tried an older driver version yet, maybe you could use the good old xp driver rollback in the video device properties.

MSI Geforce 3 WDM and bios problem plz help!!!
Hi
I have a MSI Geforce 3 Ti200 Pro-VT and when i install any detenator driver above 23.11 then the capture card wont work! The driver for the capture device says it wont start so i am stuck with 23.11. I have tries later WDM drivers and detenator drivers but they all give the same problem! I have also tried to flash the bios but live update 2 says Your Display Card does not support MSI Live Update 2 function which it is supposed to have. When i go directly to the bios page and try to update it then the update fails. The flash program seems to think that i have a different card or something but my system information says that i do. This it the information:
VGA Card Manufacturer MSI
VGA Card Model Name MS-8850
VGA Card BIOS Vendor NVIDIA
VGA Card BIOS Version 3.20.00.18.03
VGA Card Driver Version 2311
Can someone please help me cause it would be nice to have the latest drivers working for the card.
Thanks
NixusI downloaded the bios files from http://tw.msi.com.tw/autobios/SVga/Bios/Ms8850/v111/ and then downloaded NVFLASH.EXE and booted in dos and flashed the card i had to force the flash though it had some conflict of data or something but i knew it was the right bios and i had made a backup of the current one plust the card has dual bios so i wasnt too worried and it all worked out fine.
Goodluck with gettin all your cards workin

MSI GeForce GTX 970 with MSI Z68A-GD55 (G3) motherboard
Hi!
I have seen a similar issue here that was resolved with the help of this forum. (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=251322.0). I still want to ask my questons however, since I have a slightly different situation.
I recently bought a new Graphics card, a MSI GTX 970, to replace my older EVGA GTX 570. After installing it, the time it takes to startup the computer is quite a bit longer. The very begninning of the startup process is the part that takes longer, I see a black screen and "B2" in the lower right hand corner, with the older GPU this was seen for a few seconds but now it stays that way for about a minute. After that I see some random colors in stead of the MSI logo and then the regular "Starting Windows" image appears, from there the startup is as fast as before.
When the computer has started it seems to work perfectly, and the new graphics card is great, everything on "ultra" in games etc.
I guess the way to resolve this issue is to update BIOS. I am a bit afraid of this however, of the risk of destroying something.
What would be your suggestions? Is it better to update bios or to leave it as it is, since the computer works? Are the any risks with keeping this bios version, that seems to have some issue with the graphics card?
Any help would be greately appreciated!

I have started looking at the instructions and have downloaded the installer and the bios file. It seems Norton Internet Security has some problem with the installer. When I start the installer it reaches the point when it shows the current bios version, after that it is interupted by Norton. The reason that Norton gives is that it has found something called "Suspicious.Cloud.9.B" in the file b4.bks. How should I react to this? -
Msi GeForce 4 4200 frame rate locked at 60 with Windows 2000
Lost here..... I have an MSI Geforce 4 4200 120MB Video Card slotted on an Asus A7V motherboard - AMD Thunderbird 1Ghz processor with 640mb of ram.
There is a common problem with the Nvidia chip and Windows 2000 in regards to a lock frame rate at 60fps within games.
I've tried several programs to fix this i.e. "Refresh Lock", "Windows 2000/XP Nvidia Refresh rate lock", "PowerStrip 3.15" and "NVFresh Tool 1.0"
But nothing seems to work. I'm sure these program work with older Nvidia cards but not with GeForce 4.
Any Ideas? I even turned the Vsync off and on.

(A little advice: If you can, dump XP and install a copy of Windows 2000 second edition. They both have the same KERNAL but I find that Win 2000 is much more compatible for now. I give XP 2 more years before it's the OS for all. I've reinstalled 6 systems with Windows 2000 because of compatibility problems.)
