MSI GTX 960 Gaming 2G 6-Pin to 8-Pin PEG Cable

I planning to get a MSI GTX 960 Gaming 2G. My PSU is 470-watt and only comes with a 6-Pin PEG cable. The power connector of the graphic card is a 8-Pin PEG. And MSI does bundle with a 6-Pin to 8-Pin PEG cable right?
My concern is the 6-Pin to 8-Pin PEG cable. If I'm using this adapter, any issues or performance degrade?

My workstation is a HP Z400. The PSU model is "DPS-475C8-1 A" from HP. And manufactured by Delta Electronics.
Max. Combined Power on +3.3V & +5.1V: 110W
Max. Combined Power on +12V (D, B, CPU): 456W (38A)
Max. Combined Total Output Power: 475W
Thank you

MSI GTX 960 GAMING VS MSI GTX 960 GAMING 100ME

Hello,
What is the difference between MSI GTX 960 GAMING 2G GDDR5 and MSI GTX 960 GAMING 100ME GDDR5 ??

Quote from: aatish579 on 08-May-15, 11:17:56
Does this card is supported on MSI H81m-p33 board?
it should be if you update the BIOS to the latest available (1.9) and have used the BIOS + ME update on it!

MSI GTX 960 GAMING 100ME new BIOS

I’ve bought MSI GTX 960 GAMING 100ME and I have question about BIOS of this card. Some time ago MSI announced that the’re releasing a new BIOS for GTX 960 increases clock speeds. New default clock speed are set at 1241 MHz default (1190 MHz old), and boost closk are set at 1304 MHz against 1253 MHz old bios.
http://www.computerbase.de/2015-02/msi-geforce-gtx-960-gaming-erhaelt-neues-bios/
I got card with older version of bios and for now MSI has not yet provided the new BIOS file to download. I know that cards with new bios are in stores. Example:
http://www.hwbox.gr/content/369-msi-gtx-960-100-million-edition-review-page16.html
I know that I could use MSI Gaming APP which on OC Mode will give me 1241MHz and 1303 MHz at Boost. But I don’t like this software. I’m using LCD profile created by Spyder 3 Elite, and MSI Gamming APP disabling my profile, and I have load it up manually. So this software sucks.
So, when new bios will be available for download?

Sorry, cannot help to answer this
However: provide your current vBIOS (use GPUz to make copy of it) and S/N of the card.
Little GPUz guide:
Maybe Svet knows a bit more about this..
If he doesn't have latest vBIOS that was, apparently, announced by MSI, then you have to wait for their answer.

Problem with MSI GTX 960 GAMAING 4G graphics card - Please help

So I just bought an MSI GTX 960 GAMING 4G graphics card. My problem is that it seems to randomly decide when it wants to run fine at 1215 MHz, and when it wants to downclock to around 135 MHz. Today for example, I was playing Witcher 3: Game was running fine (~55 FPS) for a few hours because the card was performing at maximum. Then, out of nowehere, I dropped to about 4 FPS. I checked Afterburner, and the core clock went down to 135 MHz, while I was still in game. The card is not overheating during gaming. I have the fans set to 35% speed at all times and the GPU never got hotter than about 50c.
I have the latest nVidia drivers installed. I even tried an earlier set of nVidia drivers and the same things happened. Also yes, it is firmly seated in the PCI-E slot and yes, the power cable is firmly plugged in.
PC Specs:
Intel Core i5 Devils Canyon
Gigabyte GA-Z97N-WIFI mobo
GSkill Sniper 16GB RAM
MSI GTX 960 GAMING 4G graphics card
Antec EDGE 550w PSU
I understand these newer graphics cards have power saving settings built in, but I have my nVidia control panel settings to "Prefer maximum performance" and it doesn't seem to help. It seems my card is putting itself into power saver mode at will. I suppose my PSU could be the culprit even though the recommended PSU is only 400w, and I have 550w. Any ideas?

So it turns out I wasn't running the latest BIOS for my motherboard. I updated my BIOS and cleared CMOS. Everything was running fine for a couple hours. I was playing Witcher 3 at full clock and memory speed. GPU temp was hovering around 62 deg c at 60 FPS. Then after a couple hours, the game crashed. Rebooted my computer, and now I am back to the same issue where the card won't run at full speed in a 3D application. Even ran the Valley benchmark tool again and the card didn't increase speed to compensate.
Do I have a defective card? If so I will get it replaced from Newegg.
Also I don't know if I am running the latest vbios. GPU-Z says I have 84.06.14.00.F3
If there is a newer vbios, I can try to update and see if that does anything. I will try anything before returning this to Newegg. My old video card bit the dust and artifacts everywhere, so I don't have a temp replacement.

GTX 960 GAMING 2G vBios

Hello,
I just bought a MSI GTX 960 Gaming 2G. I was wondering if someone could tell if the card has the latest bios.
The S/N of the card is 602-V320-02SB1412141633
Current bios is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z0d0p6bhhujheqb/GM206.rom?dl=0
Thank you!

yes that's the latest version

UEFI boot hangs with MSI GTX 960 installed

Wasn't sure whether to post this in the graphics forum or the motherboard forum, since both components are MSI.
I have a system with an MSI Z68A-GD65 (G3) motherboard with the old v23.7 BIOS, and a Core i7-2600k Sandy Bridge processor.
I just bought an MSI GTX 960 Gaming 2G. However, after installing the new card, the boot hangs every time with a flashing cursor. If I put my old card back in (GTX 460), everything is fine.
I've read that a BIOS update is recommended for the GTX 960 cards. However, the newer BIOS versions for this motherboard always say not to install them unless you have an Ivy Bridge processor, which I do not.
I see the newest version of the BIOS is v25.8. There was another time I tried upgrading the BIOS in the past (to v25.6) and I had issues with it not saving my custom overclock settings for the i7-2600k, so I reverted to v23.7. So I'm reluctant to upgrade it now for that reason.
Anyone know if the v25.8 BIOS update will fix the problem with the GTX 960? Or is there something else I can try to get it to boot with the old v23.7 BIOS?

Updating it to v25.8 BIOS did work. The GTX 960 works fine now.
But, I am now having the same issue I was having when I previously tried updating the BIOS: my overclock settings are never saved. Actually, that's not exactly true. I can set them in BIOS exactly how I want them, and they are always saved there. But once I boot Windows, the settings are reverted.
I reinstalled the Intel Management Engine drivers as well, but no luck.
However, the BIOS update did allow the GTX 960 to work properly, so I will start a different thread in the motherboard forum about this overclocking problem.

You can adjust the desktop size and position under NVidia control panel or use your buttons on your screen. Have you tried them yet?

Question about MSI GTX 960 fans

Hi,
Just received my MSI GeForce GTX 960 Gaming 2G today. I noticed that the fans sometimes spin up to ~ 600 rpm for a sec, go back to 0, spin up again ... during gaming see Afterburner screenshot.
I wonder if this is ok or if there is something wrong with the fans/fan control?

There is no vbios for a card model. There are several batches of any card model that might require different versions. If a new one is available for your card depends on the batch of card and current vbios installed. To check the card's S/N and a copy of the current vbios (saved to file, uploaded to some file hoster and the link added here) is needed.

Control Voltage for Msi GTX 760 Gaming

We can see MSI GTX 760 Gaming has 8 pin + 6 pin conector so good for up to 300W but MSI Afterburner only add 12mV, it's too small with board power and it;s cooler, more voltage can be possible in future

No, nvidia restricts available overvoltage. MSI won't add more overvoltage possibilities.

Present Vbios: 80.80.21.00.77
That's no vbios version:

3.) If we need to check if thier is a more recent version. We can check your Vbios in one of two ways.
A.) Upload a copy of your current vbios somewhere and give us a link. You can save a copy of your vbios using >>GPU-Z<<.
B.) You can also just use NVFLASH >>Download NVFLASH for windows<<
Syntax:
nvflash /v >rep.txt [ENTER]
This will copy all of the information we need into a txt file you will fine in the folder in which you placed nvflash.
4.) Be aware that gpu-z screenshots or what gpu-z reads out as bios version are NOT of any use for identifying the required vbios version. While it doesn't hurt to add those when S/N and an actual copy of the vbios are also supplied simply just adding screenshots or version readouts will not get you any further and us having to ask for the required informations.

REQUEST: Latest BIOS update for MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G card

Hi, I'd like the latest BIOS version for my MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G card. I don't know what the serial number is, I don't have the box anymore. I've attached my BIOS file I saved through GPU-z. Thanks in advance!

Quote from: Nichrome on 07-May-15, 04:01:10
Hi
Check graphics card itself, should have a sticker with S/N. Else it might be hard (or impossible) to provide correct vBIOS.
Thanks! S/N: 602-V316-09SB1410116XXX

REQUEST: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G original bios

My S/N is 602-V316-03SB1409075224 I would like to request the original vBIOS that my card came with.
My card had problems with the fans randomly spinning and so I updated to the appropriate bios which was NV316MH.182 and that fixed the problem. However I have noticed since updating that the noise from the card has increased when playing games and today whenever starting any game I get an instant crash and my whole system resets, this happens now even when I'm not playing a game and my computer has been randomly restarting and I know it's a problem with the GPU.
I am worried that it is most likely that the GPU is failing but I would like to try flashing the card to its original stock vBIOS and seeing if that fixes anything. Even if you don't believe the vBIOS is the problem, I would still very much like to have the stock vBIOS for my card. Thanks!
I'm on windows 8.1 64 bit.
