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.

  • 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.

  • Best configuration - MSI GeForce 8800GTS DDR3 Overclocked 512MB Dual DVI

    Hi there,
    I purchased this 2 weeks ago and been trying to find out what is the best settings and drivers to use for this card as I still could not utilise this cards full potential.
    http://www.dabs4work.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=4V4H&SearchType=1&SearchTerms=msi+8800&PageMode=3&SearchKey=All&SearchMode=All&NavigationKey=0
    I am currently using the latest nvidia drivers downloaded from the MSI website and latest DualCore Centre.
    The games I play is Counter-Strike Source and I can't seem to yield this cards full potential and one reason could be because I am using PCI-E 1.0?
    I upgraded to this card from a nvidia 7900GS which gave me 40-80FPS on Counterstrike Source.
    The nvidia 8800GTS OC 512 now gives me only 60-110FPS which I believe is not a massive improvement for the price paid for an upgrade (both the 7900GS and 8800GTS I've setted on CS:S to have low video settings and resolution of 1280x1020)
    What settings do people use on both CS:S and Nvidia setting to maximise this cards full potential? Should I set on use game settings or set the nvidia option slider to performance or customise certain settings?
    What drivers and OC program is best to use? Should I continue to use DualCore Centre which allows the D.O.T and/or use official UMA drivers directly from Nvidia website? Please suggest/advise best combinations or settings or programs!
    I read from somewhere that I need to use a minimum resolution for 8800 cards, if so does anyone know what it is? my monitor resolution only allows maximum of 1280x1020.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Memory isn't too expensive these days, so having max of 4GB is better?

  • Gigabyte M/B & MSI GeForce FX5600

    Hi
    Just some info for owners of the Gigabyte GA7-VAX-A M/B: When using an MSI FX5600 gfx card, you should d/l the latest M/B BIOS (version F3). This should fix the garbled 3D output.
    Finding the problem kept me busy the whole weekend

    puff,
    That is good to know.

  • MSI Geforce 4 MX440 TV OUT?????????

    Hi Guys,
    I have a P4 2.4Ghz + an MSI Geforce 4 MX440 with TV Out. The problem i have is when i connect my graphic card with a TV. When I choose the TV as a display monitor  and try to watch a DVD, i am getting a picture (on my TV) full of horizontal lines and a lot of flickers. I tried different programs such as Windows Media Player, Real One player, Win DVD 4 but i had the same result with all of them. I noticed that the flickering increases as soon as i maximize the picture to full screen. I also updated the drivers of the graphic card.
    Can anyone help me re this matter because for me it is important to use the TV out.
    Thanks
    Popaine ;(

    your tv will be 50 hz and the computer uses a 60 hz refresh rate ,try turning off your monitor while watching your dvd on the tv,Best regards Tony

  • GeForce FX5600-VTDR128

    Hi,
    I've been looking around for a new GFX card, I was looking for a 256MB card, but noticed the MSI GeForce FX5600-VTDR128 which came with a remote control. The remote sortta got my attention as I noticed it connects to the TV-Out socket (if there is a 256MB card I've missed could you please let me know, thanks!).
    My question: Using the software and calbe that comes with the card (nice software bundle too!) can you use the remote on other (MSI and non-MSI) cards that have the TV-Out socket?
    Thanks for any help,
    Pete

    Hello:
    sorry my english, I speak in spanish.
    I brought this card a mounth ago, the remote controller is not a greatest thing in the world, this is very complete, it has a lot of functions, but the software blunde (included or feature) is to bad, is not fast. I think that I can use the remote controller for everything, but it is not (or I don´t know how do)
    The card have a remote controller sensor with a wire. The conector of this wire is ONLY for this card (or another MSI, but not all MSI).
    I hope help you, if you still have questions, write to me [email protected]
    Sebas.
    I have a question too,
    Is posible to sintonize (tuning) the diferent channels with this card?

  • Monitor for geforce fx5600

    Hello to all  
    I have a vid card MSI Geforce FX5600 VTDR128  and a monitor that alone it resists up to 800 x 600.  
    I want to modernize my monitor, what monitor do you think I should buy crt or lcd?
    Byron

    CRT definitely if you're going to be playing games. The main drawback with LCDs at the moment apart from price, is that you're stuck with one resolution which is usually about 1280 x 1024 even in a 17" screen. I've just bought an EIZO T966 21" CRT which although pricey (it cost me €999) compared with say an Ilyama at around half that price, has many more features. One of the problems I can overcome with this monitor is to automatically resize the display area of MP games that run in 1024 x 768 with anti-aliasing options enabled. If I were to run them in the same resolution as my desktop settings, I would lose the anti-aliasing features. For the benefit of the uninitiated, anti-aliasing adds grey in varying degrees of lightness to the edges of images so that the jagged effect that you normally see is smoothed out. You can't do those things with an LCD monitor though because of the way the liquid crystal performs. Some useful info on the subject here

  • MSI GeForce 7300GS

    Hi Everybody.
    I have a MSI GeForce 7300GS with 256Mb memory but I took home driver from Nvidia and installed them. Now here comes the strangers thing. When I ask how much memory it has it tells me that it has 512Mb memory. But before it said 256Mb. So what is wrong when it tells me that it has 512Mb the driver is 91.31? Because my computer has 1024Mb DDR Memory. Does this card take memory from that? Or is it because of the Nvidia driver that do it? Because I don't understand why he say so. Because the driver I had before 84.21. It said that it only had 256Mb memory on the card. Could someone tells me why it says so? And should I remove the driver and install the old one? Hope you can help me.
    Yours
    Christer Wickman

    hes right, its a turbocache videocard, and uses somehow your system in a very light way(not the way onboard video card uses it).  it can show 256mb, in one place and 512mb in another. for instance if you have everest youll see that under display it show 256mb, and if you scroll down a bit youll see 512mb. i believe that you should rely on the 256mb, because 512mb is too much room for a low end gpu ( i had it 3 months ago,the msi nx7300gs and i wasnt able to play the games that i play from time to time, my head was hurting too much, 4.0gb bandwidth i think), so i dont think the 512mb is truely a 512mb gpu, but thats what they say.

    Filip,
    Set your Desktop to 16bit color. There is nothing on your desktop in 32 bit color. All it does is slow your comp down. Remember that when you play a game your comp is still rendering your desktop in the background, and 32bit color uses more CPU cycles then 16bit color.
    Richard
    P.S. The color setting of your desktop has nothing to do with the color settings of your game.

  • Geforce FX5600(256MB) Questions

    Hi,
       I just purchased the GeForce FX5600 card model number FX5600-VTDR256 and have some questions regarding the card.
    I have already read through the forums and could not find any answers so here's a new post.
    I wanted to know 3 things.
    My First question:
         On the back of the box it says E3:Fan Speed Monitoring and Warning
    I can't find the software through with which I can monitor the fan speed and
    temperature of the card.
    Please help!
    My Second question:
         My card has a Video_In option, I managed to attach my TV and the card through the Video lead and now I can Watch TV through the Media Center in WinXP.
    Now is there a way to surf channels since my TV doesn't support S-Video
    leads and the Video lead doesn't surf channels.
    My cable TV doesn't come with a digital box or anything, I just get a RF connector lead that goes in the back of the TV and I scan for channels through the TV.
    My Third and last question:
         When I install the Media Center II in Windows ME, at the end of the
    setup I get an error message saying the WINDex.dll failed to self-register.
    Afterwards when I run the program in Windows ME, I get a Director Script
    error and have to quit the program.
    Could anyone please guide me as to what I should do.
    Please help me out, especially regarding the temperature problem and the
    Media Center problem in Windows ME.

    temperature of the card.
    Please help!
    It should be in the nVidia settings under the advanced button and the slide out menu, should be the last one down, called temperature settings. You could try using the 3d Turbo Experience but it can be troublesome and bulky. I prefer to use Drivers from nVidia and the Coolbits Registry hack for the clock features

    Don't really know the answer to that for sure but I would try using a VCR as your tuner and use the VCR's remote to surf. Perhaps someone's got a better answer ?(

    Have you been here to download the latest?

    It only says XP 2000, I have looked on every page but all the links point to the same file, it is an upgrade to Version 3, Maybe it will work, if not I will ask if there is an update for ME.

  • 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&Regards

    Alrite 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 8600GTS 256MB GDDR3 size question

    I am considering the  MSI GeForce 8600GTS (NX8600GTS-T2D256EZ-HD) passive cooling PCIe card for my computer.
    Since my cabinet is pretty small and I have a oversized CPU fan, I need to know the space required for this card.
    It seems like the cooling ribs are on the left side of the card (looking at the DVI connectors), but how much space is required?
    Can anyone help me?

    I just installed this particular card in a couple of systems over the holidays. The cooling for the card is entirely on the side opposite from where the CPU and Northbridge coolers are located. I don't see you have any problems if that is what you are concerned with. It is a rather large card though. Of course, I have them installed in a COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 case which is ideal for me and my customers.
