MSI GTX 560 ti & bf3

Hi,
I've had a look around the forums and seen quite a lot of other people with the same problems whereby battlefield 3 can run for a while and then it crashes with a choppy noise and i'm having to restart the pc.
Apparently the BIOS update is the solution for other makers of the card but we don't seem to have one and I think i'm up to date:
Display device : MSI N560GTX Ti Twin Frozr II on GF114 GPU
Display driver : ForceWare 285.62
BIOS : 70.24.11.00.00
GUID : VEN_10DE&DEV_1200&SUBSYS_23821462&REV_A1&BUS_1&DEV_0&FN_0
*EDIT* I've just read in another thread that altering the voltage to 1.062 and the clock speeds to 820 and 2000 mhz are the solution so i'm going to try this now and see whether I crash
*EDIT 2* Nope, crashed even quicker this time :/

Yea probably should've read the posting guide before posting sorry,
Here's my specs:
CPU: Intel i3 540
Mobo: ASUS P7H55-M, BIOS Version 08.00.15
GPU: MSI GTX 560 ti Twin Frozr II
PSU: Storm 900W (+3.3V/41A +5V/57A +12V/22A +12V2/25A -12V/0.8A +5vsb/2.0A)
HDD: Hitachi HDS721010CLA332 3.5inch 1tb 32mb Sata 7200rpm
RAM: 2x2GB DDR3 (Not sure on the model as I can't really pull my pc apart now to have a look)
DVD/CD: Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-107D
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Hope this helps, it's only BF3 i'm getting the problems with, can run anything else perfectly

Msi GTX 560 Twin Frozr II - Problem

Hey folks,
Im having a problem with my Msi GTX 560 Twin Frozr II video card.
I can't make it work with my monitor, all I get is "No signal detected"
I know the monitor is fine, because I used it as it worked all good when I plugged it into
my laptop. It's a BenQ G2222HDL monitor btw. It has one VGA (D-sub) and one Dvi-D input.
So i've tried all types of cables (VGA, Dvi-D and even Hdmi cables), and
still, can't get no signal. What can I possibly do to make things work?
Also, my computer acts a bit wierd when it's starting up. Usually, I would turn it on, then it would turn itself off really quick. Then I turn it on again,
and it goes just fine and runs smoothly. After I changed the position of some RAM modules
and such, it changed. Now when I turn it on, the fans spin for 1 and there's just a tiny bit of noise until
it turns itself off. Then I turn it on again, and it goes just fine with all fans and stuff spinning.
So, I really need some help!

The monitor is a BenQ 21,5" LED G2222HDL (1920 x 1080, 5000000:1, 5ms, VGA/DVI-D)
More background info; I build the computer myself. Everything went mostly fine, except for that I had to spend quite a long time to get everything right.
I started the machine, and it all went just fine (except for rebooting and then running smoothly, as it has done ever since). I did the MemOK! test and everything seemed to be fine. But when using the VGA cable that came with the monitor, I couldn't get any signal detected (I used a VGA to DVI adapter to plug the VGA cable into the Msi 560 TI videocard). I used 2 different adapters, but nothing happened. I tried with a HDMI cable, just to test, and that did not work either. Then, I figured out I should order a DVI-D cable.
So I ordered the cable, and went on to plug it into my monitor and my video card, no adapters needed. Still, no signal at all! Tried a different monitor to check if it was the monitor's fault. Nope, still no signal. Frustrated, I used the VGA cable again and tried to plug the monitor into the laptop, which worked just fine. A clear, bright image appeared. But not with my desktop computer with the Msi GTX 560 Twin Frozr II. Nothing works when I plug in the cables etc. No signal at all, although the computer itself seems to run just fine with fans spinning up and the different components making noise etc. Thus, I figured out there probably was something wrong with my Msi Geforce GTX 560 TI Twin Frozr II. Now I dont really know what to do.
Does anyone have an answer/advice/possible solution to my problem? I'm getting a tad frustrated now, seeing as I bought this computer 2 weeks ago and still haven't got to use it yet.

MSI GTX 560 TI Hawk Unstable?

I have a brand new custom built PC with two MSI 560 TI Hawk cards in SLI and I have a problem with playing games on this system. I've tried Portal 2, Far Cry 2, Two Worlds 2 and The Witcher 2. All games seem unstable with comparable problems:
Random lock-ups for 10-20 seconds with audio looping
Random small jitters, frame drops and stutters, including audio stutters
Sometimes my whole system freezes so I have to push the reset button
Artifacts
Flickering parts of the horizon, sky or ground in the game
Sometimes the game runs fine for a few minutes and then the problems start happening, sometimes they are there from the beginning.
I tried to eliminate possible causes one by one to narrow out the actual problem. Even disabling SLI and running on a single card doesn't help.
Here are the things I tried:
Monitor GPU temperatures with GPU-Z: didn't show anything unusual, around 35 degrees idle to 65-70 degrees stressed
Disable SLI: didn't fix the problem
Download MSI drivers v266.44 (older version than current NVidia drivers): didn't fix it and I couldn't find the SLI option in these drivers so i switched back to v280.26
Check driver and firmware version with MSI Live Update 5: everything seemed to be up to date
Remove graphics cards: cleaning the connections and re-installing, didn't fix it
Stress the cards with FurMark: no issues detected and temperatures seemed normal (70 degrees stressed)
Lower the stock clock speed (950 Mhz) to the standard non-overclocked speed (822 Mhz): this seemed to help at first and the problems didn't occur for a while. But while i'm testing right now Portal 2 froze and stuttered a few times again. Although it seems like it happens less often. So this might be a clue to my problem. Anyway I didn't pay extra money for these overclocked cards to underclock them back to standard so I would like to make the cards run on stock settings (950 Mhz).
Here are my system specifications:
Processor: Intel Core i7 2600K 3.4 Ghz (stock speed)
Mainboard: Asus P8Z68 V-Pro
Memory: 2x Corsair Vengeance 4GB DDR3 CL9 12800 Mhz
SSD: Crucial M4 256GB SSD
HDD: 2x WD Caviar Blue - Raid 0
Graphics: NVidia Geforce GTX 560 TI Hawk 1GB SLI
PSU: Corsair TX750 V2 (750 watt)
I hope you can help me to fix this issue because I'm out of ideas right now....
Thanks in advance

Well I've tried some more things but it's all still very weird and not helping at all I will explain my findings in the order i tested the cards this time, after every card-switch i did a clean re-install of the VGA drivers:
Card-2
I've ran the OCCT test for one hour on card-2, i got zero errors and temperature never went above 76 degrees with a fan speed around 68%. After this i tried testing some games again and I found out there were still problems regardless of me saying that card-2 did fine before. In Portal 2 I was leaving the game on for a while and after a few minutes it froze with audio looping. I found out that when I use ctrl+alt+del to go to the task manager and then go back to the game it recovered and I could continue playing (weird??!). The same thing happened with The Witcher 2, freezing with audio loop and going to task manager and back let me continue playing. This happened every few minutes.
Card-1
Now it was time to try card-1 again. This time this card didn't seem to have the frequency problems I mentioned before but the problems didn't go away. Portal 2 let the game freeze within a minute, and I could use the same strategy (task manager) to continue, but this time after a few seconds it would freeze again and again. The same happened with The Witcher 2. Then I tried Far Cry 2 and this game had the same flickering problems as with card-2 but a lot worse... it was almost everywhere. Even sometimes the flickering had a checkerboard kind of shape. Now I ran the OCCT test with this card and there were no problems. Another strange thing was that when I was looking at the graph after the test, the temperature was much lower (65 degrees) and the graph line of the framerate was very straight (stable) along the test. This was different than with card 2 where the framerate and temp were higher and not so stable.
After all it appears i have comparable problems with both cards, only with card-1 they are much worse.

MSI GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II - Heat sink and chipset heat sink come into contact

Pretty much what the title says. There is a small heat sink on my GTX 560 which comes into contact with one of the motherboard's heat sinks. The card slipped right in PCI slot without any problems and is working.
However, I'm concerned about heat transfer. Could the card heat up the motherboard's heat sink or the other way around?
This is the small card's heat sink.
Top view.
Closeup. I guess the surface that makes contact is not so much.
PS: I'm sorry for the poor quality of the photos.

Contact MSI tech support about that issue and see what they have to say about it. You are the 2nd on this forum to ask about it and the only thing I can suggest is trimming the heat sink on the MB or video card but doing so to either one could possibly void the warranty.

MSI GTX 560 TI OC Twin Frozr II - High Temperature !!!

Hi, I'm italian, then excuse me if my english is bad. I bought an MSI gtx560ti OC and I've installed it on my pc just three days ago. this is my problem:
in IDLE the gpu temp is ok: 33°celsius (T° in my room is 25°)
in FULL with FURMARK stress test the gpu temp is next to 85° after two minutes of stress!!! I read on internet and on the vga's pack that the right temp is next to 68° in FULL !!
what can I do to solve the problem??? My case is big and there is a 12cm fan on the panel in front of vga..

as said above, furmark isn't a very reliable test.
also videocards my act very differently one from another and since your results are still acceptable you shouldnt worry. there are quite a few other cases on this forum with the same "problem" that, as we said, it is not really a big deal.
in my opinion all that difference in heat between the 560ti's is the stock voltage, some cards have more, some less but it translates in lower/higher temperatures. My gtx 560-ti Twin Frozr II OC for example acts exactly like yours, it's a 1.025 mV stock. I have to bump it up to 1.100mV if i want a stable overclock. However you can always tune a few things end get better temperatures and noise levels. i wrote a post about it not too long ago:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=151819.0
my last post explains how i managed it.

Should I get an MSI GTX 560 Ti 448 Twin Frozr III?

I'm thinking of upgrading my graphics card and obviously I'm looking to get one that'll go well together with Premiere (CS 5.5). For now, I've set my sights on the MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores Twin Frozr III 1280 MB. I'm especially attracted to this card, as from my research it should be particularly quiet in desktop use, which is essential to me. Would this be a good choice, or should I be looking at GTX 570 for instance, or a card with more memory?

Arve,
I appreciate the effective and quiet cooling provided by MSI's non-reference designs. I don't have the exact card you mention, but have a system with a MSI GTX 460 Hawk (twin fans, similar to the Frozr design) and it performs WAY quieter than the GTX 260 reference card I had prior to that. I would not be worried at all regarding noise and cooling with 120mm case fans. When comparing how much air 120mm fans can move to clear video card (and CPU) heat from your case vs. the reference GTX cards pushing air through a VERY tiny space, you can expect quieter and more effective cooling with the Frozer. The only possible caveat that I can think of with the Frozr is that you need at lease 1/2" of space in front of both fans so that air can easily enter the fans. If you have a motherboard / PCIe situation where you need to put a card immediately next to the Frozr, then you should go with a reference design; I suspect that gamers wanting 2, 3, or even 4 video cards running in SLI has a lot to do with why the various "big fan" designs are not more common in the market.
Additional to the cooling subject being discussed so far, there is another Newegg listed GTX 560Ti listed with less cores but 2GB of video RAM. Depending on if you ever edit anything with large frame needs such as large photos in video slide shows or RED 4k, etc., possibly the larger video buffer would be more advantageous to you system than the one you mention above that has a slightly higher core count.

Driver issue msi gtx 560 ti hawk

Which driver to use with msi 560 ti hawk currently using 275.33 but after installing battlefield 3 the game freezes in just 5 minutes of the gameplay the game requires latest drivers 285.xx from nvidia should i update to the latest driver from nvidia website.please help guys...

You can upgrade your driver. Test afterwards and see if it made a difference. Is there no patch for BF3 ? Perhaps look on the website

MSI GTX 560 Ti - Frozr II - SERIOUS PROBLEMS

I have struggling with this card since buying it.
On a brand new PC install with Windows 7 64-bit, there are artifacts all over the place.
Doesn't matter if I use nVidia's latest official drivers, nVidia's beta drivers, or fall back to MSI's drivers for the card. (Yes, I do clean installs, removing old drivers and even running ccleaner between boots and installs to be sure everthing is gone)
Games like WoW and BF3 or unplayable. There are also artifacts in IE 8.0 when web browsing.
From MSI and nVidia's forums - this problem is not unqiue to me, hundreds, if not thousands of people are reporting the same problems.
Some preople report the only fix that has worked for them is driving the card's default lock speed from the 880 OOB to 775 - that didnt seem to work for me using MSI utility.
This is clearly a serious design/driver issue which MSI and nVidia seem unable to address.
I will look for recommendations before dumping this card, asking for a refund, and moving to ATI's products.

MSI GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II - No vram or vrm heatsinks?

Hey,
Just bought this card today and got bit worried when i saw that there is no heatsink at all on VRM and VRAM chips. VRM specially tends to get really hot on these days gfx cards so im not sure why msi leaved vrm chips naked? Other manufacturers seems to have added heatsinks atleast for vrm and most for vram too so i find it pretty odd from msi:s side to leave those out. I wont be using this card that long time as i just bought it to be spare card while waiting GTX 570 back from warranty so im not that worried. But still makes me wonder how long lifespan these cards will have with those naked chips

Well i can still understand that they leaved ram heatsinks out, those dont get REALLY hot. But vrm is difference story, I have even burned my HD 4890 in past cause when i putted aftermarket cooler to it and even that actual gpu temps was really low vrm:s hitted 130c at load and just after few months of use it got broken/burned.
But also i disagree that ram heatsinks are only gimmick. I have personally found that heatsinks on ram too does help and bit and gave bit more overcloking headroom.

PC powers off under Kombustor stress test MSI GTX 560-TI Twin Frozr II

Recently went through MSI RMA procedure and they replaced my 465 twin frozr II with the 560-TI twin frozr II. When the card is stressed under GPU Burn-IN benchmark settings, the computer will just reboot. Everything is set to stock speeds on the card.
I want to assume this is a power supply issue but I've had my i7 930 overclocked stably for a while, I reverted to stock speeds to give extra power back to the 12v rail, have unplugged my storage sata hd and dvd power and am still having this issue. Also it appears the 465 takes a lot more power than the 560-ti, though I hadn't stress tested it for quite a while.
My PSU is the OCZ500SXS. I monitored the 12v rail during stress testing and the lowest i see it drop to is 11.89v. Any ideas to narrow this down would be much appreciated. TIA

Understood. Thanks much for the response. I'll replace the psu and run the same tests and see what happens. All this has lead me to be curious about how power is precisely drawn for the system. Is there a known good resource/article for getting a complete understanding here? Thanks.
Also, this appears to be a good deal, no? Especially the 750w version seems to get quite good reviews and I may do sli at some point so it would be a good idea to be prepared, right?

Huge problem with MSI GTX 560 ti oc TF2

So here it goes, I did not use the pc for about 5 months (all this time was unplugged from power) and today when I power it on bios shows up with lots of white strips and with a weird resolution, on windows the same, only 800x600 with white stripes and on Device Manager my card is showing code 43. The nvidia control panel says that I don`t have an gpu nvidia installed.
The last time the pc was used it was ok. I have tried another GPU and my pc is good, so the problem is my 560 ti.
PC specs : CPU i5 2500k
MB Asus P8P67 PRO
PS Xilence XP700 W.
If anyone has an idea, please let me know.
Thank you

I can`t, the gpu I have buy it when I lived in Spain and now I live in Italy.
I have seen other post in this forum with the same problem, no solution I think.

MSI GTX 560 ti TwinFrozr II\OC

Sometimes, independently of the load GPU image can "break\artefacts", green boxes appear on image. After that video driver tried to restart. Drivers using from 301.42 to 314.21.
I do clear install ALL versions of driver from 301.42 WHQL to 314.21 on windows 7 x64, and On Ubuntu\Mint i test 304.43, 304.51 and 304.84 but i have failing on any versions. i.e. up-to-date doesn't solve my problem.
I change frequency\voltage in afterburner, but it doesn't solve my problem too.
"Falling" at all versions. In linux drivers doesn't restart and i need to reboot my pc my powerswitch.
How can i solve solve the problem? Maybe new bios? (now i have 70.24.2E.00.02) MSI support tell my that i need update drivers *facepalm*
