Msi GTX 770 lightning compatability with an msi 990xa-gd55

Soon I will be upgrading my pcand cant be sure from my research that the msi GTX 770 lightning is compatible with the msi 990xa-gd55 motherboard. So I thought I'd ask for a proffesional opinion. Thanks

You're welcome!

MSI GTX 680 Lightning compatibility with Windows 64/ Asus P6T Deluxe MB

I purchased a GTX 680 Lightning on Dec. 16. I've been having random PC lockups and Driver hangs/restarts. Here's what I have done so far to try and remedy the problem:
-started with MSI Afterburner version 2.2.5 BETA and Nvidia ( MSI provided ) drivers 301.42, and standard bios .
-upgraded to various newer versions of NVidia drivers, BETA and WHQL. Usually the newer drivers become even more unstable.
-Upgraded to Afterburner 2.3
-I had the original bios versions first shipped with the card, I have since updated the BIOS:
from 80.04.09.00.F7 --> 80.04.28.00.39
from 80.04.09.00.F8 --> 80.04.28.00.3A ( LN2 )
-NVidia control panel settings left at default, with Global/all profiles set to "prefer maximum performance".
-I originally had a GTX295 installed, so all drivers etc. were fully removed, followed by clean install of 301.40
-Afterburner 2.3.0 is installed, Core voltage is set to +12mv, and the power limit is set to 178%
-memtest run for hours on my memory, zero faults.
-furmark run for hours, no crashes
-3dmark run repeatedly with varying overclock settings in Afterburner, no crashes
The updated LN2 BIOS seems to be sllightly more stable, but I still see random crashes when running Windows media player, VLC Player, Internet Explorer. Its definately a problem between windows multimedia and the Nvidia drivers. I can play Skyrim maxxed out, for hours, yet when I first login to the computer and run IE, it sometimes locks up.
I've had the driver stop and recover while Afterburner is monitoring on-screen, and sometimes the CPU load will spike to 100% at the crash, yet sometimes it does not. GPU power voltage always sits at 0.987 or 1.212V. matching the power spec expected for the LN2 BIOS.
I've had GPU-Z cause at least 1 lockup, with the screen blanking red. Only 1.
My next step will be to try updated drivers again, now that the bios has been updated. I may also downgrade Afterburner to 2.2.5 BETA.
Does anyone have any other recommendations I can try? Can someone point me to the latest BIOS version for the card ( or can i try that hybrid BIOS now available? )
At what point do I give up and RMA the card?
Card S/N is 602-V283-02SB1206030939
Windows 7 Professional 64
Corsair 12GB mem, matched sticks
69 GB SSD for the OS, a Raptor 320GB disk for the rest
Antec True Power Quattro 1000W power supply
Asus P6T Deluxe MB ( not v2 )
Intel I7 cpu 2.93 Ghz

I'm going on 3 days of stable performance. I made 2 changes:
1) core voltage in MSI afterburner upped to +87mV, power limit at 150%.
2) I have an ASUS P6T Deluxe motherboard, and am running the UPU-6 engine. This utility is designed to let the motherboard auto-switch from max power savings -> medium power savings -> max performance ( 100% CPU ) -> turbo mode (O/C CPU ). I had this set on Auto, and I have re-set it manually to max-performance.
I think the EPU-6 engine was the problem, I am waiting for a few more days stability to prove the theory.
EUP-6 will lower your clock speed when idling, and then bump up your performance when you start doing things. In my case I would go from playing a game ( Skyrim) to running IE, and EPU-6 would change modes DOWN. In reverse, I would be doing nothing. then run IE or media player, and EPU-6 would change modes UP. Those state changes are where I think I was getting blackscreens and lockups.
I still don't understand it exactly, I think the combination of my MB changing power/performance AND the GTX680 also changing performce creates some kind of conflict. I have had the Afterburner graph going when the driver crashed, and it shows the GPU power maxing out when the driver crashed. All other graphs bottom out ie. the whole card "hiccups".
So I will put the core voltage back to defaults, and also set the Nvidia display/performance options all back to defaults, and keep the EPUJ-6 engine stuck on max-performance, which is basically leaving the MB running at 100% stock CPU and power. I expect that will prove stable and resolve the problem.
Crossing my fingers.

MSI GTX 770 LIGHTNING - Unexpectedly Powers Off During 3DMark Demo (Ice Storm)

I run the 3DMark demo (I believe Ice Storm is the benchmark) on my PC containing this MSI GTX 770 LIGHTNING and at about 15 seconds or so, my PC suddenly powers off. I know that at least somebody else has experienced this issue before, but is this a common/semi-common problem? Is it something to be worried about? If I were to run other things (games, benchmarks, etc.) fine but still have problems with this demo, would that be indicative of an issue with the demo, or an issue with over-stressed hardware that still needs to be RMAed?
All other benchmarks runs fine, like even UNIGINE HEAVEN or games are now stable. PSU IS:
Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 1000W
I7 3770 3.5
I even found somebody with similiar problem , look:

Other person comment:
"SalandFindles":
I simply can't get past the 1:38 mark without my computer fully turning off by itself during this Ice Storm video benchmark. I quickly checked the temps right after I turned my computer on after this crash and they didn't seem anything out of the ordinary. So, what do you think my problem is?

I know 750w is sufficient for a 770 but does it have enough amps on the 12v rail?

MSI GTX 770 Lightning LE Edition --- Original/LN2 strange overclock results

Ok guys this is very strange OVERCLOCK results!! On my gtx 770 Lightning LE card i have 2 bios which need to be physically move(switch) by my hand on Graphis Card!
In ORGINAL Bios my OC results is higher and better then on LN2 Bios
MSI Settings on ORGINAL bios:

Picture of LN2 BIOS: http://www.mediafire.com/view/myfiles/#oq818435y296uj3
With LN2 BIOS we need to have more OVERCLOCK potential or not? For me ORGINAL bios give me more OVERCLOCK potential than LN2 BIOS. Why is it so?

Quote from: flobelix on 26-March-14, 04:10:14
Obviously you don't understand. LN2 allows to set higher voltages not increase oc potential with the same settings. When setting less extra voltage in LN2 than in normal vbios results can't be better.
Then why is voltage on "LN2 BIOS" only +12 and on ORIGINAL BIOS much better +100?
Look this: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2013/09/22/msi_geforce_gtx_780_lightning_video_card_review/3#.UzHuZPldWio
He have more OC potencial with LN2 BIOS! I really don't understand! And in Afterburner writes: MSI gtx 780 Lightning (LN2)
And when is my card on ORIGINAL bios in Afterburner writes " Graphics Card: MSI GTX 770 Lightning LE"
When is card on LN2 bios in Afterburner writes "Graphics Card: GeForce gtx 770"
Look my 2 pictures

MSI GTX 770 Lightning 4GB

Hi,
I was wondering if MSI is currently making a 4GB version of the 770 Lightning. I realize that there is a 4GB "Gaming" model out right now but I was really interested in some of the features that are exclusive to the Lightning. I assume there will not be because we probably would have heard about it by now. I've been looking around on other sites and searching for insight but have been unsuccessful, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

There will very most likely be no 4GB Lightning. The lineup will be almost identical to the GTX680 series. Only the Twin Frozr model ("GAMING" in 770 series) will be available with added memory. The Lightning just features special overclocking abilities and no added video memory as it is already quite expensive without. With double video ram the price would be too close to the anyway better GTX780. There is also not much demand for 4GB versions of the GTX770.

Request: MSI GTX 770 LIGHTNING 2GB BIOS

Hi,
I love this card - great performance. The only thing that annoys me is, that the fans are running on 33% fanspeed when idle while the temperature is hovering at 28°C.
I think this is a bit overkill I would like to request a BIOS with fan speeds set to 20% on idle, while the max fanspeed can stay as it is.
Could you provide an appropriate BIOS? I am currently running the classic BIOS as my mainboard doesn't have UEFI.

Request MSI GTX 770 Lightning reduced fan speed rom edit

Hello,
If someone can edit or provide an edited rom with a reduced idle fan speed to 20% (from original 33%) that would be greatly appreciated.

So I bought a new cooler - Prolimatech MK-26 and two Noctua F12 fans. I connected the fans to the fan connector on the card and... !? I can't set the fans to less than 1000RPM! Even though these fans can spin at 300RPM and even though the temperature of the GPU is around 30C. So the card does not limit the fan speed settings, it limits it's rotation speed to 1000RPM. And this limitation doesn't seem to be in BIOS.
So if you want a really silent GPU, DON'T BUY NVIDIA!!! This limitation is stupid and it has no sense (it's not related to temperature), even the stock cooler would be deadly silent in idle without this "feature". Those two F12s can cool this card down even in afterburner, with power limit set to 111%, boost clock all the time.

GTX 770 Lightning LE vs GTX 770 Lightning difference?

Hi everyone!
I plan to buy MSI GTX 770 but I would like to know what is the difference between MSI GTX 770 Lightning LE and (more expensive) MSI GTX 770 Lightning, beside GPU clock speed? Does Lightning LE have 12 phase VRM, back plate and GPU reactor?
Thanks in advance!

its the normal and boost clocks that are the differences!
GTX770 Lightning LE - normal clock 1072MHz, Boost clock 1137MHz
GTX770 Lightning - normal clock 1150MHz, Boost clock 1202MHz
it has a higher clock speed on the GTX 770 Lightning and the GTX 770 Lightning LE is a lower performing version to sell cards that are the same but the GPU doesn't match the expected normal specs for a Lightning!

Very disappointed with replacement quality for my MSI GTX 480 Lightning

Hello,
Here is my original thread
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=154517.0
I sent my MSI GTX 480 Lightning last week and I received a RMA replacement today with different serial #.
I did noticed that RMA dept. replaced the TIM before they shipped. I tried them with default clock to test the stability and it was very unstable.
My fan would go up to 100% and it would give me close to 90c temperature. My previous gtx 480 lightning would never go above mid 70c with 100% fan.
I set everything to default and played my favorites games and games was chappy like FPS would go up and down randomly. I tried Nvidia driver 285.62 and 290.36 beta, but both would behave same.
I even tried with other bio switch, but samething. I also noticed that new serial # was also manufactured in May 2011 (My previous gtx 480 lightning was also manufactured in May 2011) and they both comes with 701mhz core clock instead of 750mhz core clock. I am hugely disappointed. I doubt RMA dept tested this card before they sent out. Do I need to pay a shipping again for a RMA?
I currently have two MSI video cards (gtx 480 lightning and R6850 cyclone PE/OC), but they both having problem and I am forced to use ati 5770 in 2560 x 1600 resolutions :(
My spec:
i7 920 D0 4Ghz
Asus Rampage III Gene (latest bio)
MSI gtx 480 lightning + MSI R6850 Cyclone PE/OC + sapphire 5770
Corsair F60 SSD, Crucial M4 64 SSD, Samsung 1TB 7200rpm
Asus Xonar ST PCI sound card
Window 7 Ultimate 64bit
Seasonic X750 Gold PSU

I requested another RMA and I really hope I get a working one back.
I really don't want to deal with 3rd RMA and shpping cost. I know bad replacement can happen to any other company, so I am going to keep buying more MSI GPUs.

MSI GTX 580 Lightning + Asrock Z68 Pro 3 Issue

Hi!
I just bought a new computer with gtx 580 lightning and asrock z68 pro 3 motherboard. I am having issues with the pci-e slot and the graphics card. My motherboard doesnt recognize the card. I have updated my MB bios to newest one but it didn't help. I also tried the lightning in my old gaming rig and it worked fine there. Also tried my old graphics card in my new rig and worked just fine. Power wise I should be fine because my old rig has 600w power supply and it worked, new rig has 50 wats more and is more quality PSU.
Also the red and green leds on the gtx 580 lightning are on and fans are spinning but when I try to attach the monitor it just doesnt give anything out.
I am really running out of options here and dunno what to do. I have the intel i5 2500k processor so I can use the onboard graphics to prowse the web. Also managed to install win7 64bit and MB drivers.
Anyone having this same issue ? Or any solutions to my problem? Would be nice to get my rig up and running fully.
Thanks!

AsRock already tested the combination and it works:
http://forums.tweaktown.com/asrock/45683-asrock-z68-pro-3-msi-gtx-580-lightning-issue.html
Maybe the motherboard has broken PCI-e slots, as Asrock suggested, goto a dealer and check it out with them.
The combination is not a problem, but if a PCI-e slot is broken it can explain all of this.
As the card works in other systems, it's hardly possible it's the card, else it would fail too.
And yes, because an ATI card works it doesn't mean the PCI-e slot is good, have seen such before.
He replaced the board with new one Asus P8P67 Pro and still doesn't works on-board led shows VGA init error.
So 2 different brand new boards with broken slots is very unlikely. [both of them worked fine with different video cards]
The MSI's GTX 580 Lightning worked fine in meantime with the same PSU [he also tested with different one and it works fine with both PSU's on 3th board] on 3th different mainboard.
It's some kind of compatibility issue [based on all facts]

They test it but not with the same card Lightning card, they used reference card instead [MSI N580GTX-M2D15D5].
The VBIOS structure of the non reference design used on Lightning cards are very different compared to regular versions,
as well the card itself compared to reference one.
