Msi gtx 570 with gtx 470 pcb/cooler?

Hello everyone, so few days ago I've ordered Msi Gtx 570 from us.NCIX.com which as i thought was fully reference nvidia model with vapor chamber cooler. Today i got the package from them with the card which i didnt open yet cause card's serial number starts with 602-V222. I have found some disturbing reports that V222 means that this card comes with gtx 470 pcb/cooler which means worse/louder cooling. There were also reports of gtx 570's with gtx 480pcb/cooling.
here is the link to what i bought: http://us.ncix.com/products/index.php?usaffiliateid=1000031501&sku=57383&promoid=1339
My questions are:
Are all V222's come with gtx 470 pcb?
Can i find out which pcb version i got before i open the box?
How am i suppose to know what i am buying if p/n and pictures match nvidia reference model?
at this point i am feeling very frustrated cause if i open the box and the card has gtx 470 pcb, i will have to send it back, pay shipping/restocking and stay without the videocard for over a week again, and if that's the case i dont think i'd buy/recommend anything from MSI ever again.

reports can be found here:

  • Is it still impossible to run a GTX 570 with a Mac Pro under Lion

    I have the GTX 285 Mac Edition and it's running fine.
    Anyway, meanwhile I'm searching for a more powerful graphic card, e.g. the GTX 570.
    The premise is, that it will run with Lion and bootcamp Win7 ... without, or very less, hackintosh steps.
    Any ideas or suggestions?
    Everything could be helpful.
    Thx in advance and Greetz

    Hey Bob,
    Thanks for the information. My last experience was with VMWare 1 and I don't think this functionality was available then. I downloaded today version 4 and at this point I am running Win 7 within MacOS.  Haven't tried rebooting to my bootcamp partition yet or printing or sharing, etc. If it works as advertised though I should be a happy camper.
    The import option doesn't strike me as a good one for my situation.  I have 500GB on my MBP and 120 GB allocated to my windows bootcamp partition. If I do the import option with VMWare I'd basically need another 120 GB of the total space and then I'd have two unsynchronized windows disks, one under bootcamp and the other under VMWare.
    Running VMWare as a Mac application I can see it's a bit slower than running in bootcamp, but I expected that. 
    This is exciting stuff and I appreciate you taking the time to enlighten me. 
    Thanks

  • Upgrading MSI gt 72 with GTX 980m SLI

    Hello,
    I bought MSI GT72 Dominator-216(GTX 970m 6GB), can I upgrade my laptop with GTX 980m SLI. Is it possible. What is the max update I can apply on my laptop graphics.
    Thank you in advance.

    Quote from: Victoria's Secret on 06-May-15, 16:28:37
    The vga is welded on motherboard. You had better contact service center for help .
    This is horribly incorrect misinformation, the vga of the gt72 laptop is mxm modular so it can be upgraded, however this laptop is not capable of sli as the laptop is not physically designed to hold two graphics cards. The gt80 is the laptop that has the 980m/970m sli already.

  • HELP ME!!! msi ms 7740 with gtx 760 shuts down while in the game

    Hi all, I have before yesterday bought a new gfx card gtx760 and each time if I'm gaming example AC4 after a certain time my PC completely shuts down and he starts up again.
    Does anyone know why this is?
    My psu is a N620 from ms-tech 620 w
    My cpu intel i5-3330 a 3GHz
    And my motherboard is an MSI MS-7740 (H61MA-E35 (B3))
    could you guys please help me?????
    Thanks, millenniumgamermsi

    could be one of 2 things here!
    1: temprature cut off (Please monitor the temps of your CPU and GPU when your gaming and tell us what they are?)
    2: Power supply! that unit seems marginal at best as its a split rail unit and may be choking under load (if you have a higher wattage unit try that)

  • GTX 570 plus Gaussian Blur etc Okay?

    I'm about to upgrade my GTX 285 to either the GTX 570 or GTX 470.
    I realize I will have to apply the "hack" to make either of those work properly. Before I pull the trigger I want to make sure I won't run into any unexpected problems. I'm doing mostly AVCHD files and use a lot of gaussian blur and masking.
    I can't remember where I but there was something about there being a problem with gaussian blur and one of the NDVIDA drivers.
    If anyone here can share their experiences running a GTX 570 or 470 with CS5, that would be awesome.
    Side note: there's a fairly "cheap" 570 from EVGA on Amazon, at $349. Seems to be legit and have all the specs as expected, but I'm wondering why this one's so much "cheaper" than comparable 570s from other manufacturers. Thoughts?
    Thanks!

    >I'm about to upgrade my GTX 285 to either the GTX 570 or GTX 470.

    The GTX 470 is on the list of cards that provide the CUDA acceleration features.
    The official and up-to-date list of the cards that provide the CUDA processing features is here:

    Some of the cards on that list are only enabled if you have the recent updates.

  • MSI GTX 570 OC - Received some dodgy card with wrong cooler/pcb?

    So received my GTX 570 OC today but when i opened the box was suprised to see that box didnt really contain what i ordered for. Very first i thought i just got GTX480 by mistake instead of 570, but then started to look more closely and tthe sticker on the card says 570. Then looked back of the card and cooler fitting looks pretty dodby, empty screw holes + some weird foam part on the back of the pcb. Pcb also seems to be MSI:s own design which is quite big problem for me as planned to build custom watercool loop for summer so when this is non ref desing any of the 570 waterblock most likely wont fit to it :(
    This is the card i ordered : http://eu.msi.com/product/vga/N570GTX-M2D12D5-OC.html
    And this is what i received :

    It seems the heatpipes are a better cooler.  Can you post an image of the front of the card?

    nope its not, its far worse. its older nvidia's thermal design used on 480 series..
    The newest nvidia's thermal design also include the innovative Vapour Chamber:
    [the older nvidia thermal design from prevision generation don't have such]
    - Innovative thermal design: Vapour Chamber (Quieter than previous generation)
    The newest Nvidia's design is much more effective than the older one

    agreed - re the text in blue
    but why ?  I thought the GTX480 cooler was less efficient than the new one on the 570/580 ?  noisier and a lot hotter
    so why use it on the new 570 ?  to reduce cost ?
    still rather annoyed I didn't spot it
    unless you buy what you know to be a specialist cooled version, like the Twin-Frozr, Phantom, Twin fan versions etc etc - you'd be pretty right in expecting a stock reference cooler
    not a last gen cooler  :(

    We don't known, and we can guess only. But i very doubt that's cost related.
    There are only very few MSI's units of 570 that are using this older cooler..
    99.99% of MSI's 570, [or 580] [which are using Nvidia's coolers] are using the newest Nvidia's thermal design.
    Looks like the some of the very 1st revisions of the 570 was shipped with this old cooler.
    [Guesses: due an mistake or maybe newest design was N/A yet or was out of stock at this time]

  • This is my experience with MSI, and their NVIDIA GTX 570 reference card.

    Hello my name is James king.
    and This is my experience with MSI, and their NVIDIA GTX 570  reference card.
    (5/27/12) Day one. I update my driver from Beta 301.24 To WHQL 301.42. and as you would expect, it worked. so i restart and go play kerbal space program (if you haven't played this go, play it now i love it) 5 minutes later it starts artifacting, eg. textures stretching, random green spots. "ugh" so i start troubleshooting, reinstall revert and so on. later i give up and go play  Portal 2, i load the game opening screen i see lots (100-250) of little flickering green dots. first instincts says its the cable, test nope. then maybe the screen, test nope. i keep testing  throughout the night, to no avail.
    (5/28/12) so to the internet, for help. 3 hours later nothing, but people with bad cards.                 at opening i call NVIDIA Tech Support, they say to call MSI so i do. 3 calls no pick up, 4th call      and i get a "Support technician" who is no help, says to fill out a RMA form online.                    and so i do more troubleshooting for the rest of the day. and i give up, and go to bed.
    (5/29/12)  i fill out a RMA form, end of day i get an email from MSI that says; "Dear Valued Customer [email] your RMA is pending approval, and you will get an email within 1 weak with shipping information.
    (6/1/12) shipping information, instructions, but no shipping label. 
    (6/4/12) i ship the card, via UPS

    (6/20/12) email from MSI, saying they shipped it and that [this] is the tracking number.
    (6/26/12) end of day. i receive the card, and see the case is badly scratched. i install it in my pc and hey it worked (for now). watch some YouTube, and go to play skyrim. start up load my save and i make one step, and my pc hard freezes. "sigh" half an hour later, i give up and go play minecraft 10 minutes in, and it hard freezes. so now more troubleshooting,5 hours later no luck.
    (6/27/12) i have called MSI Tech Support 2 times, when they picked up the phone they say to call customer service. 7 calls later no pickup. 
    and that is it MSI have sent my on the run around too long.

  • 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?

    I have RMA cards twice, sent it back to newegg once. It seems to be a problem with this line of cards. No matter what drivers I update, or rollback, or change, nothing seems to fix this problem.
    Has anyone had similar problems, or is my only option to pretty much beg Newegg to take it back long after the refund policy and get a new card?

  • MSI TwinFrozr III GTX 570 Power Edition - Modded Bios

    Hi Guys
    I am new to this site and this may have been posted but i was unable to find it after searching.
    But is there any way to mod the bios of these cards to unlock the voltage further as the limit is 1.137mV in Afterburner
    I can pump nice scores in the  3D Mark 11
    http://3dmark.com/3dm11/1394544
    but my other Brand card can run slightly higher voltage and can produce a better scores because i can run 1.150mV
    http://3dmark.com/3dm11/1394620
    I believe this beast of a card can go further with a modded/unlocked bios and push my scores even higher because the temps on this card remain under 60 Degrees Celsius @ 970/1940/2400 @ 1.137mV (I do run my fan @ 100% speed through my benching at all times to keep temps to the extreme lows)
    Any help in the right direction would be much appreciated.
    Cheers

    Thanks a whole heap works like a charm - I am so impressed I will be recommending MSI cards/products from now on to anyone who is anyone.
    HWBOT world record for GTX 570 is not outta reach now for me now im only short 74 points - WR holder is running 5.6Ghz too im only on 5.05Ghz.
    BTW just to let you know running 1212mv with fans 100% i only hit 62 degrees Celsius (ambient air temp 20 degrees), with the help of a Scythe Kaze 3000rpm (134CFM) with airflow directly over the top and bottom the card. Highly recommend a Fan of this caliber to anyone who benches on air. Will post a pic of my setup for anyone interested in having a look very soon.
    My other brand card is getting into the low 80s and is running lower voltage (1150). This is why I will recommend MSI to everyone now. MSI claims that the Twin Frozr III runs 18 degrees cooler, well this is 100% in check and I have tested this over another non-reference which I believe has very good cooling itself.
    After sales support is 10/10, you just don't get this anymore from other companies.
    SVET big thanks again for your effort.

  • MSI gtx 570 twin frozr III - Dual Screen Windowed mode issues

    Ok, so... I was running a solo monitor 1440x900 resolution, i recently purchased a brand new asus 24 inch 1900x1080 monitor. Basically what is happening is when i play WoW or Battlefield 3 in windowed mode on the 1080p monitor the colors are not perfect. When i go full-screen on the new monitor no issues, but that is not what i want to have to live with. When i say the colors are not perfect what i mean is, for example when i look @ the sky instead of being a smooth transition or blend from one shade of the sky to the next it is bars or stripes of each shade as if i am looking at the sky in 8 bit color instead of 32 bit color. Another thing to note is that when i login to windows 7 the blue screen where i input the password has the same effect. The 1440x900 monitor is running everything just fine. the only issue is with the 1080p monitor.
    I am using DVI cabling for both, and have swapped them around to see if that was the issue, and sadly it is not. I am running the updated gpu driver, which i uninstalled and re-downloaded and installed again tonight.
    When i use the HDMI cable,  that fixes the issue but i need the HDMI for my 42 inch tv.
    Also in windows, just to cover my bases with this post, i have the native resolutions properly configured, as well as in the game for the given monitor it is being played on.
    Anyone know of a fix for this?
    i7 2600k
    asus PBZ68-v Pro/Gen3
    Msi gtx 570
    Samsung syncmaster 953bw (1440x900)
    Asus VS248 (1900x1080)
    I am more than happy to re-explain anything that may not be as descriptive or clear to you just let me know!
    EDIT!
    When i run the 24 inch 1080p new monitor as my only monitor on the system, everything runs perfectly...
    Edit #2
    Ok so i have pin pointed a possible cause
    This msi gtx 570 struggles with operating multiple displays with different resolutions, while dual screening with my 1080p television and the 1080p display, everything runs as expected. Having to also render a 1440x900 display is probably the reason i am having the graphic issues. Is there any type of utility, setting, or other fix to this type issue? also this gpu is certainly less than 2 weeks since i purchased i could get a different card to remedy this... any suggestion? if you suggest a different card can you say so with certainty that it will work properly under the condition in which 2 resolutions will be required?

    Ok, the problem is fixed and Svet i skipped a step or two. I installed the new driver with the clean install to save time for an initial attempt. What is interesting is that with the Geforce driver, only one 1920x1080 resolution was available
    The msi driver gave me 2 options, 1920x1080 and 1920x1080 (native). The latter resolution fixed the issue for whatever reason.
    The solution to this problem is so easy, when i purchased battlefield 3 it prompted me to download the geforce.com driver and i did not think anything of it at the time, lesson learned.

  • MSI Z87-G45, GTX 570, Windows 8.1 and SecureBoot

    Hello
    I have the spec in the subject. I was running Windows 8 was a GPT partitioned SSD and now that I have upgraded to 8.1 the "SecureBoot isnt configured correctly" watermark is there.
    When I try to enable secure boot in the BIOS (upgraded to 1.5) it tells me that I need to disable "CSM" first.
    I suspect that I cannot do that because I am forced into CSM mode because the GTX 570 is not compatible?
    I can select custom mode and generate the factory keys and then boot, but the system fails to boot with a warning that the video card is not GOP compatible and then resets the BIOS to disable Windows 8 features.
    So I am looking for some information to confirm that I cannot secureboot with my current video card. In addition if anyone knows how to disable the watermark (without disabling UAC) that would be great and is in fact all I want!
    Its very annoying to have a working system before what should have been a pretty minor windows upgrade and now have it look ugly all the time!
    Oh and I am also pretty sure that I can remove the watermark by reformatting the SSD to be an MBR disk, but again I dont want to do that because I boot UEFI mode only with MSI Fast Boot on to get a nearly instant BIOS. Less value in a fast SSD boot time if you need to wait 15 seconds for the BIOS to detect my USB devices!
    Thanks for any information.

    So it seems.
    I want to use UEFI to boot the BIOS and not use secure boot at all, which the BIOS seems to support but Windows does not seem to like. UEFI should not be treated by Windows as implying a secure boot.
    Very annoying. DLL resource hacking seeming likely!

  • Gtx 570 twin frozer buggy artifacts with less than 2 year usage

    Hey friends,
    I have purchase MSI geforce 570 gtx twin frozer after reading too many good things about it. MSI is famous as being the best quality brand for VGA boards but i had no luck with my first purchase of the brand. I'm currently using it now, it allows me to use web and other low resources apps with no problem but any game that I play, after 2 -3 mins of playing, it gets my screen full of weird colorful artifacts and freezes. Sometimes it sends me to desktop with a message "the display driver stopped working and recovered itself" (something along these lines, i use windows in portuguese).
    What can be done in this case? Did i just lose my VGA with less than 2 years use? I'm searching for the manuals/box for it to check the warranty period, but until i find it could you please tell me if i still can get help from warranty?
    Thanks in advance.
    Hardware: asus p5e3 deluxe wi-fi  , 8gb corsair dominator DDR3  , win 7  x64

    >>How to contact MSI.<< to ask for rma procedure.
    To check >>use MSI Afterburner<< and reduce gpu clockrate to 732Mhz or below and retry. If no help >>Clear CMOS<< and retry. If still no help try with a singsle stick of ram. Test both sticks individually.

  • MSI GTX 570 (N570GTX-M2D12D5) - Display driver stopped responding

    Problem:
    Upon watching videos and playing games, artifacts begin to show and green blotches sometimes appear.  After a couple seconds the video slows down and crawls to a stop.  After another couple seconds the screen goes blank, then after 2-3 seconds the video comes back and I get a balloon notification, "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered"
    Attempted Fixes:
    -Updated Gigabyte Motherboard BIOS to the latest revision (F7, need to try F8a beta)
    -Updated Video Card BIOS to latest revision (KJ1)
    -Installed MSI's latest video card driver (285.62)
    -Installed NVIDIA's latest video card driver (285.62 WHQL)
    -Installed NVIDIA's latest beta video card driver (295.51 beta)
    -Removed all but essential hardware (booted using only CPU/Memory/Mainboard/SSD+HDD/Video Card)
    -Tested other graphics cards (9800GX2 worked fine, very similar power requirements as GTX 570)
    -Verified PSU's requirements Seasonic X650 650-Watt PSU (High-efficiency, 54A on +12V)
    --Minimum 550W or greater system power supply (with a minimum 12V current rating of 38A)
    -No overclocking
    -Increased northbridge voltage
    -Increased GPU voltage
    -RMA'd my first GPU, got my 2nd GPU and it too has the same problem.
    -Increased timeout per Microsoft's KB article:
    --http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2665946
    -Clean install of Windows 7 64-bit SP1
    I think it's incompatible with Gigabyte motherboards... I cannot find any other logical connection, even after updating both BIOS (Video & Mainboard)
    Should I RMA?  Can MSI refund me?  I'm sick of this problem and I'm not convinced an RMA will fix it.

    is the card OC edition, if yes have you tried to remove the factory OC?

    do you use BIOS defaults settings? [no any OC]
    test the card into another computer
