MSI GF FX5900 TD128 Problems

I recently bought a new GeForce FX5900 TD128 from MSI and I am having a couple of problems. I am geeting some frequent crashes in games such as Morrowind (every 30 minutes to every hours). The problem is the same in other 3D applications. Could the problem be related to DirectX9.0a? Should I reinstall DirectX8.1? Should I try seeting the BIOS (and the card) to AGP 4X? Or is the card deffective (It runs fine in 2D applications and on the desktop).
here are my system specifications:
Motherboard: MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR (Original BIOS)
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 3000+
Memory: 2X512K of Crucial DDR400 (Non Dual-Channel)
Graphic card: MSI GeForce FX5900 TD128 (Nvidia's 4.4.0.3 drivers)
Screen: Samsung Flat 19"
Sound: Onboard sound
Power Supply: Antec 480W

Sorry for getting back to you so late. I had to travel a bit for work. My card is set at AGP 4X and everything is fine. Thanks a lot. It's always the same thing when you buy new hardware... You got to be patient. At least, I got less problems then my friend with his new Radeon 9800 that crashes all the time :D.
By the way, sorry for my bad english... I come from Montreal and I'm french canadian... It's been a long time since I had to write in English...
Thanks again

FX5900-TD128 power

I recently bought an MSI Nvidia FX5900-TD128 video card and am installing it into a brand new system that I am building.
On the card is a "Power Connector", but there is no mention of plugging power to it in the documentation. Am I supposed to plug in power from my power supply to this connector?

Yes, there is a splitter wire in the box if you need it.
The fans won't spin without the extra power !

Trying to clock MSI FX5900 TD128

First of all: HI! (This is my first post here ) )
I recently got muself a MSI FX5900 TD128. I installed the msi drivers and I saw it is possible to adjust the clock there. It is one (2D) that says 300mhz and one (3D) that says 400mhz. I've tried to adjust the 3D-clock to 450mhz (ultra settings) but when I reboot the pc it is back at 400mhz.
I don't know if I am doing this right and what the difference on 2d and 3d-clock is. Does anybody know?

Hi Metaman,
You are having the same problem that I had with my FX5200 that the settings were not being saved. I do not know why this is.
I downloaded the Geforce tweak utility from http://download.guru3d.com/gtu/ this allows you to change clock settings.
P.S the 300Mhz is memory speed
the 400Mhz is the GPU speed
kind regards

FX5900-TD128 memory problem

Hey there,
I've been having some trouble with (I presume) my graphics card. Basically I can play games just fine after my computer has just started up (or reset). But after a while of playing games or using 3d software in general I can't start a new game.
The games just refuse (start loading and then the window closes) to start or give me various error messages, so here are some:
GTA Vice City: Grand Theft Auto VC can not find enough available video memory
Ravenshield:
OS: Windows XP 5.1 (Build: 2600)
CPU: GenuineIntel Unknown processor @ 2555 MHz with 767MB RAM
Video: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 (5672)
Assertion failed: RenDev [File:.\WinViewport.cpp] [Line: 471]
History: UWindowsViewport::OpenWindow
Sim City 4 : Hardware Driver Error
Note that it is the games that give me the errors, not windows.
System specs:
Gigabyte P4 Titan 667
FX5900-TD128 (running nvidia's 56.72 drivers)
Pentium 4 2.53 Ghz
768MB of DDR RAM, 266Mhz
Audigy 2
I've tried to include as much info as I can, but if theres anything else you need to provide a solution I'd be more than happy to find out and tell you.
Thanks a bunch.

Alright, not sure how to find out the IRQs themselves, but I'll just list _everything_
Gigabyte P4 Titan 667
Pentium 4 2.53Ghz
Kingston 512MB DDR stick @ 266Mhz, Generic 256MB DDR stick @ 266Mhz
MSI FX5900 TD128
Omni 400W/12V PSU
60GB Generic HDD (ST360015A)
60GB Maxtor HDD (4D06H3)
LiteOn CD-RW 52x24x52 (Primary)
NEC DvD-RW (Slave)
Sony Floppy Drive
Audigy 2
Z-640 Speakers/Sennheiser PC-150 Headphones
Microsoft Media Keyboard & Mouse (PS/2)
Also, something that I probably should have mentioned is that I've had the graphics card for quite some time without encountering this problem. The only thing that I have changed recently is swapping the DvD-RW in for a (broken) DVD drive.
I dont see how this could affect the games (I've tried using the CD and the new DVD drive for the CDs) so I would imagine it may be a driver problem. I've gone through all the drivers I have and the most recent ones from both the nvidia and MSI site.
Thanks again,
Con

FX5900-TD128 - Dual monitor support?

?(
I'm thinking of buy a FX5900-TD128 card, but I want dual monitor support (2 CRTs). I looked on the product info page, but it doesn't explicitly say the card can actually do this... I don't want to find out the hard way by dropping $400+ on a card and then finding out it can't do something I need ;(
BTW: I assume this thing will fit fine in a 865PE Neo2-LS mobo... right?
Thanks

It would be a logical assumption that MSI's designers would get their gfx cards to fit their own mobos :D
I haven't seen anyone complain so it should be ok.
Thanks.

MSI FX 5900 TD128 and Cooling Solutions!

I was curious to know if anyone here had tried or has changed the stock fans on the MSI FX5900 TD128 with any other set of cooling solutions

http://www.zalman.co.kr/usa/product/ZM80C-HP.htm
I just wanted someones help, like a senior moderator or an expert , since i myself dont know alot, bout the fact whether this cooler is any good and whether i should change my stock coolers..
While writing this post, my GPU Core temp is 46 C
Ambient Temp is 37 C
So pls if anyone out there knows anything bout cooling a FX 5900, i would be greatful for ur advice since i do wanna overclock the GPU , but am hesitant right now till i get a better cooling solution!
Thanks alot in advance!!!

Alright dude !! shall do that !!
Thanks alott for the advice!!

MSI G3Ti200 Pro-TD128

I have just recently purchased an MSI G3Ti200 Pro-TD128 Video card and am having trouble installing the driver for it. Let me give a bit of back ground of my system and what I have tried so far. I have a MSI KT3 Ultra (MS-6380E) mainboard with 1gb 2100 DDR ram, an AMD 2000+ XP processor and I am running Windows 98 SE. I have just recently updated my Bios to the latest version (5.6) as well as downloaded and installed the latest chipset drivers for my motherboard. I have also made sure my bios AGP setting was at 4x. My problem is that when I put in the installation disk and click on the install VGA driver link it tells me that it can't find the device. I then tried to install the driver manually through the add hardware feature. It says it installed correctly but when I reboot the monitor stays black after the initial Windows screen and then it reboots itself and goes to the safe mode menu. Once I did get the driver installed and back into Windows but it was still in 16 color mode and when I attempted to set it to high color and rebooted I got a message that the display properties were incorrect for the hardware that I had. I know my AGP slot works because I put my Riva TNT 2 32mb card back in and have no problems with it.
Please help I have tried everything I know (which isn't much ) )

Good point, I missed that critical point in my first read.
There are fixes or workarounds for that.
Win98/98SE/ME can't handle more than 512 megs of memory
It's a known issue that Win ME, Win98 and Win95 cannot deal with main memory sizes in excess of 512MB.
This problem may occur more readily with AGP video adapters because the AGP aperture is also mapped to addresses in the system area
For example, if Vcache is using a maximum cache size of 800MB and an AGP video adapter has a 128MB aperture mapped, there is very little address space remaining for the other system code and data that must occupy this range of virtual addresses."
And here are the three suggested workarounds:
1. Physically remove any memory in excess of 512MB
2. Use the System Configuration utility to limit the amount of memory that Windows uses to 512MB or less.
3. Use the MaxFileCache setting in the System.ini file to reduce the maximum amount of memory that Vcache uses to 512MB (524,288 KB) or less."
And the unspoken fourth solution: upgrade to Windows 2000.
MS knowledgebase also admits that the addressing restriction has been identified as a failing in Windows. Installing Win2K obviated the problem. All 768MB ran faultlessly.

New FX5900 TD128 - Power Connector?

Hello everyone,
I just bought a new FX5900 TD128 card to replace my FX5600, but before I install it, could abyone tell me what the power connector on the card is for? Do I need to connect it to the power supply, or is there some other specific purpose for it? Sorry if its a silly question, but I don't want to risk damaging my new card and the manual does not mention it at all.
Grateful for your advice.
Thanks
Orcnobeard.

I measured the current drawn from it, something like 3A from the 12V and 3A from the 5V so that's about 50W, way more than just powering the fans.
The card will work without the plug, but the fans won't spin and the card will prevent you from entering 3D mode to prevent overheating.

MSI GeForce FX5700 TD128(non Ultra) MEMORY BANDWIDTH

Hello to all...
I have 1 question please. I want to know the real memory bandwidth for MSI
GeForce FX5700 TD128(memory: Samsung). I found on MSI website this :
GeForce FX 5700 Graphics Core: 256-bit
Memory Interface: 128-bit
Memory Bandwidth: 14.4GB/sec.
Fill Rate: 1.7 billion pixels/sec.
Vertices/sec. 356 million
Memory Data Rate: 550 MHz
Pixels per Clock (peak): 4
Textures per Pixel: 16
RAMDACs 400 MHz
in MSI FX Series Quick User's Guide i found No. for memory bandwidth 8,8!!! GB/sec(MSI GeForce FX5700 TD128)
Quick User's Guide Version: 5.0, November 2003, G52-V1NFX07
Please remail and explain.
Thanks
TT

14.4 is the bandwidth for the Ultra so I assume it isn't the same on the non ultra.
You can calculate it by finding the rated timing of the memory chips and therfore the memory clock (approximatly).
For instance 2.8ns (should be marked on the chip -28) is 1/2.8ns=357MHz.
Using DDR it is effectively 714MHz, and using 128bit wide BUS you get 11.4GB/S

[Athlon64] Msi K8N Neo2 Platinum problems with Patriot Ram

First post, whoo hooo
So what version of BIOS are u running? I recently installed the two newest versions 2.0 and 2.1, and they both give me problems. With the latest (2.1) I'm getting the same error as you. Returning back to previous BIOS fixed my problems. Oh yeah, my RAM is Kingston Hyper-X, so i don't think thats your problem.
Let me know if you fix it, thats why im here, .

Power of the Press - MSI Neo4 SLI Bios Problem

For those interested, I just sent this to hardocp because they did the review on the MSI SLI Platinum. Since MSI headlines this review on their website, maybe hardocp can do something about this bios problem. Enjoy and please send more emails to hardocp so we can get this problem addressed! Believe me, Ive seen this works with washington politicians, I know it can work if we all do it.
I appreciate companies like yours doing extensive reviews about products. However, your review caused me and a whole bunch of others to purchase this board with enormous problems associated with it (check out the msi forums). The problem is that this board works only for 130nm chips in which you tested on. On the newer amd 90nm chips, this board is the worst performing sli board out in the marketplace (for both winni and venice core chips). You need to do something to stop people from buying this board because its just awful and the folks from MSI are silent on the subject.
It's gotten so bad that people have gone out and purchased other sli boards, transferred all of the equipment out of it and into the new one and guess what...voila, no problems. Anyway, some of those in the other user forums had the same problem but those other manufacturers quickly fixed the problem. Its just getting worse and worse. I feel like both msi (and I am MAD) and reviewers like you (unless you don't know about the problem) are silent on this and its cost me hard earned MONEY ($175 for the mobo) and hours and hours of time...
You have a LOT OF POWER with MSI and I can see it because they headline your review on their website (power of the press). For Gods sake, please do something before others make the same mistake or if you can get MSI to allocate resources to fix the problem...you would be HEROs! Thank you.

Ok, I guess I am confused some, where is the issue with the new cores? I have no issues running the San Diego core and the my memory at the listed and published speeds.....
Quote
Also is your MOBO the SLI type? I run the SLI Neo4 with a San Diego core without any issues. In fact I dropped it in and booted using the San Diego as a direct replacement for a older (if 6 months is old!!) 3500. I have OC'ed with Corecetner as far as I can push it and runs awesome!
Quote
GUys, I am not sure exactly what issues you are experiencing as there can be MANY factors! But my SLI Neo is running awesome! It overclocks (no Tiresmoke, i won't go into that in this forum ) and has NEVER once BSOD, or rebooted or even crashed! Not once and I push the crap out of this as it is my gaming box. Also TS you are SO correct on the clock settings on the ultras, you gotts make sure they are the same or it will cause issues. The only thing I am kinda bummed about is the lack of real performance with the dual 6800 Ultra's, but that is a Nvidia issue not MSI. Guys I may be blessed, but I have run three Neo MSI brds, 2 939 and 1 754 and never had any issues....
Quote
I have yet to experience any boot/reboot issues...So I think we should wait to hear more from this person before we assume anything...
Quote
I have the nForce4 SLI brd and i run a new San Diego..it booted up fine and zero problems. But man is this thing FAST
Quote
According to MSI, the Neo4 will work fine with the new cores, the Neo2 will need a bios upgrade
Quote
I set my brd up the first time for SLI with dual cards and have never had any issues..Sorry guys, but I guess it's the luck of the draw, but I have yet to ever ave an issue with any MSI brds..I have a Neo2,Neo4 and the older 754 slot Neo..no issues.
7 of your last 11 posts. Why man? Why?
This is from MSI at the "listed and published speeds"
Dear Customer,
Since the mb has not been certified to support the Venice and San Diego Core processors, please wait until beginning of June, 2005 for the release bios support for the mb.
Sincerely,

Look, I have already been threatened to be banned because of my sarcastic replies to you. Read every one of your responses I listed. Obviously OTHERS are having problems. WHY don't you help them instead of TAUNTING people that yours works. They are upset, and you make them feel dumb like it's their fault.
Man I have tried to contribute so much to this issue that at least 20 different members here are having, I have tested with an Asus SLI board, I have tried different BIOS's and posted results, I have theorized with others and I feel like you are slapping me in the face by restating time and time again "what problem mine works great"i
I'm on a verbal warning because I didn't have respect for you. Well how are you respecting the other people who have problems by saying you don't know what their issue is. Read up on it or help them, instead of creating tension. Please?

MSI 651 Combo / MS6769 Problem with Temperature

Hi. I´m having some troubles with my mb, since 2 weeks ago. Suddenly, it starts to appear that cpu temperature go 70 º C (158 º F), and i hadn´t do anything. I changed the cooler, and put some new grease, and nothing happen. Then i searched in this forum, and i found a message simmilar, that said something about upgrade bios, and thas what i recently do (WS6769 v1.0 originally, then V1.3, then V1.2). But nothing...
What should i do? buy another mb? I don´t want to.
Thanks.
Claudio

Well, i´m pretty sure that it is the mother board, because, i already changed all what´s possible to change: processor, RAM, hd, power supply, processor.
Din: I don´t know what´s "corecenter". I already upgraded BIOS (to v1.2 that supuestly fix my problem), and put thermal paste (grease? in spanish "pasta disipadora") between CPU cooler and CPU. And i do change the processor (i put a p4 1,8GHz), with other FAN processor (CPU cooler), and the same temperature.
Danny:Those details you ask me:
In a label on the power supply (lVoltage MAXAmpere): +5V 30A, +3.3V 20A, +12V 15A, -12V 0.8A, -5V 0.5A, +5Vsb 2.5A.
It is a Maxpower 300 Watts ATX, model PX300.
On BIOS PC Health: Sys Temp: 18ºC/66ºF, CPU Temp 66ºC/150ºF (up to 70ºC), CPU Fan speed 2909 RPM, Vcore 1.68V, 3.3V 3.26V, +5V 5.10V, +12V 12.03V, -12V -12.19V, VBAT(V) 3.26V, 5Vsb(V) 5.14V.
I have a Celeron 1,8 GHz, socket 478, a MSI 651 Combo MS6769 Motheboard, with nothing else. Hd Maxtor 30Gb, Rewriter MSI 52x24x52.
The problem: From one day to another, it wasn´t load XP. It resets itself after a few seconds (about 5 secs). On the BIOS PC Health section, i actived the CPU Temperature beep on "too much degrees" (i don´t remember the exact name, but that´s the idea). And that´s how i realize that the temperature is the problem. I think it is how the motherboard inform the temperature, and it is a nominal temperature, not real. If it´s real, i already had a burnt processor.
Anything else that can help to find a solution for me?
Very thanks.
Claudio

Big MSI RX9800Pro-TD128 problem

Hi everyone!
I am a proud owner of a Radeon 9800Pro (MSI RX9800Pro-TD128) and I've got an issue that looks very much (or exactly) like this:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/IvanV/shot0000.jpg
If you failed do recognize it, this is a screenshot from 3DMark03 GT4. It happens with all driver versions I tried (from MSI and from ATI). It used to happen only in GT4, so I wasn't to concerned, but now it also happens in HL2 when AA and AF are turned on (which is also strange, because I didn't use 3D Mark with AA and AF). The card is not overheating and works fine in other situations. My system:
CPU: AMD Athlon64 3000+
MB: MSI K8T Neo (VIA K8T800 chipset)
RAM: 512MB DDR 400MHz Kingston ValueRAM etc...
Windows 2000 Professional with SP4, DX 9.0c

Today, after months of having this issue, I solved the problem. Still, I don't understand why this worked, so please someone explain it to me. I found two solutions:
1) Change AGP aperture size to 256MB. Since I have only 512MB of RAM, things got a bit less smooth, so I was thinking, since things did work from time to time, and guided partly by memory and partly by instinct I
2) returned AGP aperture size to 128MB, and removed desktop wallpaper, screensaver, custom Windows appereance in Display Properties and it also worked.
I retested all variations several times to make sure, and right now I have little doubt that this is a permanent solution. I only don't know why, so if anyone could tell me, I'd really appreciate it.
