MSI GTX 750 TI OC 2GB Compatibility

          Hello. Today i decided to update my GPU to a GTX 750 TI OC 2 GB from MSI. I checked it's requirements. I fulfill them, except the MB. My MB is a BIOSTAR G31-M7 TE with a G31 chipset (compatible only with PCIe X16 1.1). Is there any chance to run this GPU with my MB or i need to upgrade it? Here are the rest of my PC specs:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 2.93 @ 2.92 GHz;
GPU(current): Intel G33/G31 256 MB;
PSU: custom, from my PC vendor (maybe Logitech) ATX-450W
MB: Biostar G31-M7 TE (BIOS update from 2010);
RAM: 4 GB DDR2 800 MHz;
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate Edition SP1.
   Should i buy this card? Will it run using a 17 inch Monitor (MAG, VGA monitor)? Thanks in advance for all replies.

Let's see:
That's the minimum for most today's games:

Stock cooler is fine if not overclocking, dual core CPU is also good enough (could upgrade to Intel Pentium K for OC if would like to). That's the parts set I suggest.
And add some GTX650Ti or 750Ti. And new PSU: Corsair/Seasonic/Antec 400W or above and good to go.
Thank you so much for your advice and also for your patience (I'm asking many questions because I want to be sure).

  • MSI GTX 750 Ti upgrade for a "hpe-521 it" model

    Hello,
    I would like to upgrade my desktop video card to a GTX 750 Ti.
    My desktop model (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02782877&cc=it&dlc=it&lc=it&product=5095560) should be compatible with the card, at least it seems to me.
    I have bought an ASUS card (OC GTX 750 Ti) but I failed to get it working on my computer, even after upgrading the bios to the 7.15 ami version.
    I have a problem similar to many other reported on this very forum, I get stuck to the screen logo (interestingly, the video seems to work, so again I think there is no problem of hardware compatibility between mobo, power supply and video card) the computer beeps several times and then the video card get powered off.
    The problem seems to be the UEFI, not fully supported in the HP BIOS of my model, and so buying the MSI model of the card should be a viable solution:

    This time, before I risk to buy another not compatible product, I'd prefer to ask to the experts in this forum.
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi,
    The HPE-521it doesn't have the HP version 8 BIOS which many of the newer graphics cards require for compatibility and functionality.
    The threads that you referenced do contain specific MSI NVIDIA GTX 750 models that offer you the best chance for using the NVIDIA GTX 750.  If you search this forum you should find others that have reported success with using these specific MSI GTX 750 graphics cards.

    MrGamer101, welcome to the forum.
    Here is the model made by EVGA.  Look in the tab titled "Details" for the full specs.  It says that the card is 9" in length.    I suggest making a template the size of the card to see if it will fit into the space with good airflow.  When gaming or doing video intensive tasks a lot of heat is developed.  It is a PCI Express 3.0 x16 and the slot in the motherboard is PCI Express 2.0 x16.  The 3.0 is backward compatible.  If it will fit properly into the space, it should work without any problems.

  • MSI GTX 750 Ti with Motherboard Legacy BIOS

    I was wondering if I could run the MSI GTX 750 Ti with a Legacy BIOS. I recently purchased an EVGA GTX 750 and it is not compatible with my motherboards Legacy BIOS (had no idea before purchasing it). I know MSI's has a Dual BIOS switch on the card, so I was wondering if it would work?
    I have a pre-built HP system, the HP P7-1233w. I know the GTX 750 Ti has a TDP of 60w, my power supply is a 300w HP with two +12v rails. The +12va has 12a and the +12vb has 16a.
    So if anyone can tell me if the MSI GTX 750 Ti (specifically this card: MSI N750TI-2GD5/OC) will work with my Legacy BIOS Motherboard that would be appreciated.
    Thank you in advance!

    Quote
    What does the Dual BIOS switch do on the card? Does it relate to the motherboard BIOS, or no?
    No, it offers a legacy and UEFI/GOP vbios for Win8 feature support (fastboot/secureboot). If using a board with a legacy bios it is irrelevant what vbios is selected as both are supporting legacy mode (UEFI/GOP vbios is hybrid). Only for boards with a UEFI bios which is not GOP compliant using the legacy vbios is required.

  • MSI GTX 750 screen flickering issue

    Since installing my new graphics card (the MSI GTX 750) I've had a problem with screen flickering. I updated to the latest drivers and checked the connection to the monitor and card but there was no improvement.  At the moment I'm using my old video card because the flicker is so distracting.

    Are you able to test the card in different PC? Speak to friend/colleague, maybe they can help.
    Also try some older nvidia driver versions.
    Did you try different cable/port?
    If works fine in other PC, it means your PC is not compatible with latest cards and either you have to RMA the card and get something older like 5 or 6 series or get newer computer. If it doesn't work in different PC then RMA it.

  • MSI GTX 750 Ti 2gb overclocking help

     Hello.
    I just installed a MSI GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2 gb into my computer. The card comes with 3 different modes: Silent mode, Gaming mode (default), and OC mode. I believe the OC mode overclocks the card. My question is.. Can i for long periods of the day almost everyday use the OC mode, or will it destroy my card? Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    You can use OC mode for sure. Though before you use for 24/7, enable OC mode, run some benchmarking/test stress tool and see how are the temps to make sure that they stay below 80C on 100% card usage with around 50-80% fan speed.

  • MSI GTX 770 Twin Frozr 2GB OC Bios question

    I got the MSI GTX 770 Twin Frozr OC 2gb version and would like to know how to verify if I have the newest bios for the gpu.
    This is the newest version listed on the website : http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N770_TF_2GD5OC.html#download
    And thats an ss from GPU-Z, cant find the exact bios version in that downloadable zip from msi website and i cant seem to find the date created for the bios I have on my card now.
    Having some problems with gpu load drops and microstuttering, so wondering if a bios update might sort out my problems.

    The vbios on MSI site is a different vbios series (NV282MS.331) and older than your current vbios. Your vbios (NV282MS.352) is dated 06/18/13 while the one from MSI site is dated 06/11/13. Both are legacy vbios versions (no GOP support). You can try the latest hybrid vbios (GOP support) which is NV282MH.351. It is attached.
    Decompress the provided .rar archive with Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Then flash the included file with Nvflash for dos: http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/nvflash_download.html
    To do so rename the included file to .rom and create a dos bootstick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0)
    Put nvflash and the vbios file on it and boot from the stick. Then type nvflash -4 -5 -6 gop.rom (if renamed vbios that way) and hit enter. Confirm the questions and let the tool flash.

  • MSI GTX 750 ti + HP Pavilion + Legacy BIOS setting = still doesn't work

    I recently decided to upgrade the video card in my ~3 year old HP Pavilion (h8 1237-c).  It's been running a GeForce GTX 460, but the thing is really loud and obviously several generations behind current video hardware.
    So I purchased an EVGA GTX 750, but quickly ran into problems.  Apparently, HP hasn't released a BIOS upgrade for this Pavilion for a long time (I'm on the latest - 7.12, dated 10/12/2011), and newer cards won't work with it.  There were a lot of posts in multiple forums (Toms Hardware, HP forums, etc.) about this particular MSI 750 card and the "Legacy BIOS" switch it offered being a solution for this problem.
    So I returned the EVGA card (which resulted in a Newegg restocking fee - ouch) and ordered the MSI card.
    I'm getting the *exact same problem* (regardless of which position, 1 or 2, that the switch on the MSI card is using) - computer starts to boot up, won't get past the HP "splash screen" where I can hit ESC to enter setup.
    Am I about to return my second video card, and just live with my old 560?  Or can someone suggest something else I can try?

    The problem is with the component support of your HP machine. The problem is not GOP or legacy vios but the need for a ME8 firmware including bios to run a GTX7xx on a socket 1155 based system. If HP can't supply such you will never be able to run a GeForce GTX7xx or later in your system.

  • MSI GTX 750 GAMING UNBOXING

    Hi,
    If you upgrade to Windows 8 (install in UEFI mode) and apply the posted BIOS update then you should be able to get to video card to work.
    Be sure to create a set of the external HP recovery media before installing a new operating system.

  • MSI GTX 750 ti Gaming vBios

    I was reading a review for this card on techpowerup and it shows the card comes with dual vbios, one uefi (GOP?) and one legacy. Is this unique to the new Maxwell cards? I see people here requesting vbios updates for other kepler based 700 series and below. Will upgrading the vbios no longer be necessary for this card (assuming Win8 features the main reason for GOP vbios requests) ?
    Can anyone confirm?
    Thanks!!!!!
    PS: I am in the process of building a new rig from scratch. Because of the apparent great support here in the forums, I am developing a MSI brand loyalty for motherboards and graphics cards. I have only seen similar support from EVGA (but they are limited Nvidia) and MSI. Also TwinFrozr gets a lot of praise. Lastly, the card mentioned above has been reviewed as the best of the crop for the 750 ti chip. I have been a ATI/AMD Radeon guy for a long long time due to their price/performance combined with power/heat/performance , but this maxwell card looks very interesting.

    I hope you are right about the dual VBIOS on an nVidia GTX. That has been one of my biggest bitches ever since this stupidity came out of no support out-of-the-box for both. Maybe nVidia came to their senses? Worth researching. At least my faith may possibly be restored with nVidia.
    I don't think this is Nvidia but MSI adding the new bios. At least, according to TechpowerUp.  techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_750_Ti_Gaming/5.html
