MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB GAMING

So I recently bought the GTX 970 OC with 1279 MHz clock speed. However, several times lately when I'm gaming I notice poor performance, so I loaded up some hardware monitoring to see what was up with that. CPU, RAM and disk looks fine, however my GPU clock speed is stuck at idle speed, 540Mhz!! During gaming! What is up with that? I have all drivers up-to-date.

Side note: Why does the Gaming app say CPU clock 390 Mhz, when it is 3900 Mhz?

  • 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!

    Ok, thanks for the advice.
    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 GTX 970 TwinFrozr V backplate available/planned?

    Anyone know if MSI plans/has a backplate for their MSI GeForce GTX 970 TwinFrozr V?
    I'm looking to upgrade my cards and was looking at a couple of these, but really wanted a backplate for them.
    Thanks
    Anyone know when these cards will even be available to buy?!
    I tried emailing MSI, but their site is a mess for registering and asking for support/help. Not sure if they even got my messages :(

    Like already said no passive cooling is required on the back as the vram doesn't require any. The normal case airflow is sufficient. A backplate on the back of some manufacturer's cards are just for the look of the card. Your fingers are a bad indicator for the temperatures of electronic components.
    I agree with the previous post.
    Did you see how much the cards without an back plate sag? I do, my previous MSI GTX 660ti PE had a very bad sag and only at the end of the card.
    If you have back plate its quite obvious that the vrm's get cooled much better and it ads some rigidity to the card as well. I am an member of overclock.net forum and they complain about the vrm temps compare to the Gigabyte versions. The vrms get much hotter on the MSI gaming than on the G1 from Gigabyte.
    I am not saying that gigabyte is better than MSI or they clock higher, in fact, i have 14K score in Firestrike so i am good, but i am only pointing out that a GPU WITH back plate has better cooling and rigidity.

  • MSI GeForce Gtx 970 Coil Whine noise threw headset/stereo

    Hi, I recently got an MSI GeForce Gtx 970 and for some odd reason, when I boot up a game it starts making some sort of Coil Whine noise which is not coming from my computer, it's coming from my headset or stereo. The noise kind of sounds like an electric tooth brush. And I have read many reviews on this graphics card and people are saying that they are hearing a Coil Whine noise coming from the graphics card, but me it's my headset. It may be an interference. Anyone have any ideas?

    Hey man,
    I am not sure about this completely but I know my buddy has a gtx 980 and he gets coil whine. It also affects his headphones when they are plugged in. He told me the sound is much better when he got a set of USB head phones. G430 ones I think.

    Thanks for the tip!

  • MSI GeForce GTX 760 Startup freeze.

    Hi, first I'll start by listing specs:
    -MSI geforce gtx 760, 4gb GDDR5
    -Gigabyte H81.Amp-Up, LGA 1150
    -Intel Core i5 4570 LGA 1150
    -Corsair Vengeance LP, 2x4gb
    -Seasonic S12II-620Bronze (620 watt)
    -Windows 8.1 64-bit
      I just recently attempted my first build, while putting the hardware together seemed like a breeze, the updating did not go so well. I booted up installed windows and went on as normal. When I opened a game it was extremely sluggish, so I decided to see if updating the drivers for the GTX 760, First I visited the official site for the drivers and once downloaded and installed was prompted to restart to finish the download. Once it restarted the entire system seemed to freeze just before windows started up. I had control of the mouse, but windows seemed to never start up. Since I couldn't access Windows I decided to re-install it. It booted as normal, so I decided to use the CD that came with the videocard.  The exact same thing happened. I was thinking of updating BIOS, but that was a last resort sort of thing since I am admittedly not very tech savvy. Thank you ahead of time for your responses.

    I actually found the problem late last night sorry I didn't post until now. The videocard wasn't getting enough power, I just switched leads. Thanks though.

  • Is "Asus Strix GeForce GTX 970 OC DirectCU II 4Gb" Compatible with Adobe sotfware?

    Hi!
    I´ve been thinking about buying a new Graphic Card "Asus Strix GeForce GTX 970 OC DirectCU II 4Gb", but when i went to see the requirements for Adobe Premiere, After Effects and Photoshop, that card is not recommended.
    If i buy that graphic card, will it still work fine as the other cards or will it only work with that type of cards that are in the list?

    It will work without any problems and is a top choice.

  • GTX 970 4G Gaming shutdown

    Hello, sorry if this has been asked before, I've seen some similar topics but not the same.
    I've a MSI GTX 970 4G Gaming edition, before that I had a 560 Ti that never gave me a problem at all.
    With the new card, when I'm playing videogames (like The Witcher 3, Tomb Raider, Metro 2033... ) sometimes the PC shutdowns. Instant off, like if it was a temp problem or you just pull the plug. Could be after playing 2 hours or 10 min, it's very random.
    I've checked the temps and they are never too high or even high, same goes for the temps of the card. Turning off tessellation usually helps a lot with this, but seriously, if I have this kind of card I want to play as I want, and seems very weird (also I can't find where I can turn off the tessellation in Witcher 3!)
    My PSU is a 570W, and never had a problem with the 560TI at all (which seems to use as much power as the 970). I know it looks like the main culprit here, but before buying a new one I want to check my options, this could be a problem of the card BIOS or the card is faulty or something I'm not seeing, that's why I ask for your help.
    My rig (I got this info from MSI Afterburner, I also have 8 GB of RAM):
    CPU
    Model                : AMD FX(tm)-8120 Eight-Core Processor
    Logical cores        : 8
    CPUID                : AuthenticAMD family F, model 1, stepping 2
    GPU1
    Display device       : GeForce GTX 970 on GM204-A GPU
    Display driver       : 352.86
    BIOS                 : 84.04.36.00.f1
    The s/n of my card is:
    602-V316-24SB-1501007207
    Sorry for annoying you if this has been already answered a thousand times!

    Yes, I think it's time to accept reality and get a new PSU. By the way, I forgot to mention it, but everytime the system shut downs, it needs a little time to turn on again, I can't just press the power button again, usually have to wait (around a minute, but have to wait).
    Any PSU recommendation? If I have to change it, I'd prefer to do it to a decent one.
    I was thinking of getting a XFX 650W XXX Edition, seems very nice and very decent priced (and seems they are made by Seasonic, which I remember it was a nice brand). Also I'm going to do some OC so that extra juice could be necessary.
    Here's the link to it:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-Bronze-Semi-Modular-Power-Supply/dp/B008O50WKG/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1432462602&sr=1-1&keywords=xfx+psu
    There's also this one, seems to be the best seller in Amazon and get tons of good customer reviews:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Builder-Series-Modular-Certified/dp/B00ALYOTTI/ref=zg_bs_430514031_1
    Any opinion? Should I go for another PSU instead of one of those?
    Check this list.
    http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
    Corsair's psus are very problematic.Too many people reporting excessive coil whine.They don't care much about their psu's except some very high-end ones.
    XFX seems like a way better choice than corsair.
    And don't be so sure about graphic cards.I have returned too many gtx 970s just for coil whine,the first one i returned had similar problem.Screen used to freeze when playing a game followed by a bsod.Sometimes no bsod but black screen lasting 10-15 seconds.
    Other ones i got didn't have functional problems like that,but coil whine.
    So i guess the first gtx 970 gaming 4g i've returned not only had coil whine,but also functional problems.
