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:

http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Desktop-PC-Questions/GTX-750-TI-Problem/td-p/4022476
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.

  • 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!

    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 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.

    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 + 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.

  • GTX 750 Ti sufficient for GPU Acceleration in CC 2014?

    Hi all,
    Upgrading from a HD 5870 hopefully - just wanted to know if the GTX 750 Ti with its CUDA technologies would be sufficient for GPU accelerated applications like Pr, Ae, Sg, Ps, Lr and so on? Asking in the Pr forums because that's the application I use the most.
    System specs:
    ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3
    Core i5 2500K @ 4.3GHz
    Arctic Cooling Freezer 13
    16GB RipJaws-X 1648MHz
    ATI Sapphire Radeon HD 5870
    OCZ Vertex 4 128GB | WD Green 2TB | WD Green 3TB
    LG BH16NS40 Blu-Ray Burner
    OCZ ZS 650W
    NZXT Lexa S
    Windows 8.1 Pro x64
    Not too bothered about gaming performance. I don't want to spend a lot of money and the 750 Ti at around £100 seems a good balance between value for money and performance.
    The 5870 did work fine with OpenCL and Adobe CC 2014 but for various reasons I'd like to upgrade and go back to NVIDIA.
    Thanks all

    I have just completed running the entire PPBM8 script with the GTX 750 Ti, and compared it to the results that I had obtained over two weeks ago with the older GTX 560 card.
    GTX 750 Ti on CC 2014.8.2 (1TB Samsung F3 as project disk):
    GTX 560 on CC 2014.8.1 (1TB Western Digital Black WD1002FAEX as project drive):
    It appears that the first-generation Maxwell (GM107) GPU somehow improved the H.264 rendering/encoding performance compared to the older Fermi (GF114) GPU. The MPEG-2 rendering/encoding performance is practically equal with both of these particular GPUs.
    Verdict? The GTX 750 Ti is the right choice for a PC that's equipped (however less than ideally) with a higher-end i5 without hyperthreading or a quad-core i7 that cannot be overclocked much if at all (and this is assuming that that PC has a sufficiently fast disk subsystem).
    By the way, the GT 740 that was suggested for the OP's system (given the "Green" drives) is not a Maxwell-generation GPU at all - but a Kepler-generation GPU (in this case, based on the GK107) instead. The GT 730 with GDDR5 memory that I recommended as an alternative to the GT 740 DDR3 is based on the GK208 GPU. (And I do not recommend most GT 730s on the market as they are based on an old Fermi-generation GPU - the GF108 that debuted with the GT 430 back in 2010.)

  • 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 750 GAMING UNBOXING

    NVIDIA recently launched the GTX 970 and GTX 980 based on its new "Maxwell" architecture, torching the market with an unreal combination of performance, power-draw, and fan-noise, which made them overkill for Full HD. The two can handle any game at QHD...

    Okay, so I decided to add some extra pictures of the board and the final setup.
    My current build is:

  • Just bought a msi gtx 750 ti OC edition.when installed wont boot,ends in black screen and curser

    As stated in the title,i bought a gtx 750 ti.
    N750Ti-2GD5/OC
    The machine had a gt 620 in it,and runs great with it in.When i install the gtx 750 ti though,the system boot hangs on a black screen with underscore/curser,and a single beep.
    The system is an h8 1203,with a 460 power supply.
    I also have a gts 250,which also installs and works fine.Ive read a bit,and there is some problem with this card and the hp system ?something about bios type ? I couldnt quite follow what was being said.
    This question was solved.

    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.

    Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 22-February-14, 02:30:44
    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

  • MSI GTX 750 TI has problem with H8 1214 win 7????

    Excuse my bad english please,
    I bought this video card from newegg, trying to upgrade my computer. 
    There are some people success to install and run this GPU. I have the same H8 1214 and I did upgrade my PSU to 600w as well. I did switch the button on GPU to Legacy Bios. ==> window did not start. It tells me to press Esc to enter the window, I did and it stucks on black screen.
    Can someone help me!
    Note: for some reason, some one moved my first post into a "Solved post" so no one can see my post and help me. I just do not know why. If this person see this, please tell me If I do some thing wrong.

    The problem solved was for the original OP and not you.  You high jacked another persons thread.  I know your PC does not have Windows 8 from HP but have a look at this anyways. http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03653200
    I see allot of interest in that GeForce card from various manufacturers, and it will not work.  Interesting.  Many of the various motherboards will not tolerate that card because of a BIOS issue computability.
