MSI GTX 980 GAMING 4G latest BIOS?

Hello, I have the MSI GTX 980 GAMING 4G and I was wondering which BIOS is the latest.
MSI Live Update 6 reports I have NV317MH.143 installed but offers to install NV317MH.113, which one is newer?
Also I would like to be able to use the Windows 8/8.1 feature in my bios but there is no GOP driver/firmware installed.
S/N: 602-V317-11SB1411003928
I have also another problem I noticed after installing this card. Windows 8.1 Pro wont sleep the monitor or activates the screensaver. Any idea if it's related to the graphics card? Someone suggested it was due to the low mhz the card was running on?

The one suggested by LIve Update is later (new universal vbios that covers more batches than your current one)
All GTX980 vbios versions are UEFI/GOP ones. If you can't enable Fastboot problem is with your board.

MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G: Fan issue, too

I build a new system that also includes a brand new MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G that I received today and to my considerable regret the graphics card is exhibiting fan issues similar to the ones some of you described with 970 cards.
My MSI 980 is spinning one fan at constantly high speed from the moment the system gets turned on. It's the fan on the inner half of the card, not the one on the slot side. My card came with the notorious sticker, which I removed with utmost care. The fan on the sticker/slot side is working perfectly fine, spinning up after launch, then spinning down for as long as the card's temperature is below 60°C, then spinning up again when it's above. Regulation works flawlessly for THIS fan - it can also be controlled manually by AfterBurner, which displays the speed of this fan correctly.
On the other hand, the inner fan does not regulate at all. It goes full throttle from the moment the system starts and never slows down again.
_Its impossible to stop or change the speed of this second fan through AfterBurner or NVidia Inspector._
Trying to make the other fan spin by poking it by hand, as some have described for their 970 cards doesn't change anything, either, since the other fan does run if the temperature neccessitates it.
So it doesn't look like the behaviour of the second fan is caused by something being wrong with the hardware of the first fan.
Anyway - at my wits' end, for now.
My setup:
MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G (Bios 84.04.1f.00.f6)
NVidia Drivers 344.60
Monitor connected to DVI Port (through VGA adapter, for now)
ASUS Z97-A (Bios v2012)
Core i7-4790K
Samsung SSD 850 Pro
Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64

I tried with the MSI Fan Control tool (v2.0.0.1) that was on the included driver CD: It also has no influence over the second fan, only over the first (properly working) one.
I also checked my cabling and nothing seems bend or cricked. No heat-sink touching circuit boards. Guess I'll pull the plug on this one and move back to my 580 for the duration of the RMA process... I just hope the next one turns out alright.

MSI GTX 980 Gaming issue

Hi everyone,
Recently I upgraded the BIOS of my msi gtx 980 gaming and i discovered an issue which I don't know how to fix.
I did upgrade my bios with the official bios from msi live updater 6.
old bios was nv317mh.112
new bios is nv317mh.113
The problem:
My boost clocks were somehow changed and i don't understand why...
before the update my boost clocks were the normal 1291(gaming) and 1317(OC)
after the update my boost clocks changed to 1329(gaming) and 1357(OC)
I did reinstalled the 112 version again and see if it could fix but it didn't fix this issue
I don't have any profile or OC in my msi afterburner.
GPU-Z shows the normal clocks (1291/1317) and my afterburner shows the modified clocks(1329/1357).
They were syncronized before the update.
My card is v317-03S so the bios should be right.
Pls help i don't understand what's causing this issue...

Hmm I don't understand the issue. Are you trying to tell that current clocks are higher than advertised?
Yes. After the update my "default" clocks changed somehow.

VBIOS for my MSI GTX 980 GAMING 4G request

Hi,
May I request VBIOS for my MSI GTX 980 GAMING 4G S/N: 602-V317-03SB1409089224?
If possible please provide me with original NV317MH.111 that came with graphic card and the newest one.
PS. I upgraded NV317MH.111 to NV317MH.130 by means of MSI Live Update and now when using MSI Gaming APP to switch speed profiles, the GPU speed values shown in GPU-Z don't match the speeds for original Silent, Game and OC profiles for this card. What's wrong?

Connection MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G with 2560x1440 monitor

Hi.
I'm going to buy WQHD (2560x1440) monitor. How to connect MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G to use 2560x1440 resolution? The specification for card states:
DVI Connectors
1 (Dual-link DVI-I)
Max Resolution: 2048x1536 @60 Hz.
HDMI Connectors
1 (version 1.4a/2.0)
Max Resolution: 4096x2160 @24 Hz (1.4a), 3840x2160 @60 Hz (2.0)
DisplayPort
3 (version 1.2)
Max Resolution: 4096x2160 @60 Hz
I prefer connection over DVI but according to above spec I'm affraid if will be impossible...
I've heard the picture quality over HDMI/DisplayPort is worse then over DVI - is it right?

Quote from: CSIG1001 on 23-October-14, 07:34:58
This cannot be possible Dual Link DVI is capable up to 2560x1600
I just purchased 2x 980s gaming and all the current cards only support DVI up to 1 (Dual-link DVI-I) Max Resolution: 2048x1536 @60 Hz.
This is incorrect unless MSI HQ R&D did not test 2560x1440 and 2560x1600 res or they put crappy components inside this card to not allow it. I went back and fourth with owners on newegg with this card one owner did verify that it does work . For me I own a Monitor that only uses DVI dual link at 2560x1440. This will be a deal breaker for me if the cards do not work with my monitor or the video cards do not function correctly.
This does not make any sense what so ever for a manufacture to implement this standard as the majority of the population isnt even on 2560x1440 or 4k. So i am pretty upset about how tech support fails to acknowledge the reasoning behind this new DVI standard . Go look at the 760-780 series all say max res 2560x1600.
So my question to everyone out there who owns this card am i screwed or should i just use my dual link cable to run 2560x1440 even though it states 2048x1536 max res. Someone that i know online says it works so whats the deal?
FYI this video card does support a max res of 2560x1600 over DVI
Tech support for MSI and Sales department were not trained correctly to let the customer understand that Max Resolution on the website for DVI 2048x1536 is for using the analog VGA adapter
Hope everyone now understands! Because this took me 4 hours of my time to figure out on my own with the help of Newegg tech support and verified owners!

MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G Issues & BIOS Update

bios.zip (136.34 kB - downloaded 37 times.)
Hello,
ever since I bought my GTX 970 I've had about 5 BSOD's while playing CS:GO and GTA:V. I am not sure whether it's a GPU issue or not, but I never had that issue before (at least with CS:GO).
Tech specs:
MB: z87-pro
CPU: i7-4770K
GPU: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
OS: Win7 x64 SP1
latest OS updates
latest nVidia drivers
I've been wondering if there's a BIOS update for my GPU? I also tried just today to download MSI Live Update 6 but after executing the installer it displays "This application does not support this platform."
I've attached my GPU Bios.
Thanks in advance!

Hi
With LiveUpdate, don't worry. Many users got issue with it, I believe MSI is aware of this already.
Is your motherboard running latest BIOS?
Is it known to work fine with other graphics card??
Do you have any OC on your CPU/RAM? (RAM OC=more than 1600MHz). Remove and try again.
What did the BSOD say? Error code?
Heya, thanks for the reply.
That's good to know for Live Update, just wanted to let you know. Before my GTX970 I was using an Asus GTS 450 (I know, lame) and used integrated graphics a couple of times but never had BSOD's during games with either of those. I didn't take a note of the BSOD error code, can I find a log somewhere on my system to upload it?
OC-wise everything is running on stock clock, BIOS is also latest version (2103, according to Asus).

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.

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.

MSI GTX 980 GAMING Coil whine!

Just got my GTX 980 Gaming yesterday...... AND it has terrible coil whine!
No point in having silent fans, if the coils whines like pigs!
Just writing this to warn others, mine is going back to the dealer tomorrow.
Tried all MSI profiles (Silent, Gaming and OC) and the noise frequency varies, but it's always there under load in most games. Easiest way to test might be running folding@home on the GPU, which for me causes very solid whine - all the time.
And yes I'm sure it's the GPU, not the PSU (which is a solid Seasonic in case anyone would like to know).

I returned a MSI 970 due to coil whine so loud I could hear it down stairs in the kitchen! I could just hear it outside the room at idle, and when high fps etc it could heard down one set of stairs!
I've had numerous issues with 970's from all companies.
I had two PNY's originally, one the fan never came on unless I pushed it and the other made weird noises from the fan and a low ticking noise from somewhere.
Then went on to two Zotac Omegas, which ran hot even with the fugly 3 slot cooler, and didn't overclock worth beans (the PNY's beat it slightly!) The OC+ and Firestorm are useless and buggy.
Next was one MSI 970 as they only had one in stock (beautiful cards, to bad no backplate) :( It was the one with coil whine bad.
Now trying a MSI 980 that seems good so far (apart from having no backplate :(). A tiny bit of coil whine at very high fps instances, nothing to gripe about.
Even tried two PSU's (an Antec Signature 850W and this EVGA 850W Supernova G2, the whine and issues happened with both, didn't make a difference.)
I expected driver issues to boot, but not this many hardware issues across so many brands. Staying with reference boards and using high quality components seems to work better for these companies than letting them do as they please it seems...
I now have a some banding/flashing issues with this 980 in one game so far, and am hoping its the drivers, but will see as I install more games again...

MSI GTX 980 Gaming Edition 4G Throttling? Faulty Bios? Aggresive Temp limit?

Hey everyone, I've been trying to find a thread regarding the issue or shall i say experience i am having with the MSI 980 so i thought ill start a thread.
I received my 980 yesterday, as you may know the fans don't spool up until the card reaches 61c. I've noticed when the temp reaches 62c my card starts downclocking the core by 16mhz and voltage by 25. I do not understand why if this is a temp limit why is it at 61c when the fans actually only spool up then? Why is it not at 81c like the 970 G1 Gaming i had (never experienced anything like this with it and it boosted 1392mhz out of the box) Is the bios faulty?
I started to increase the Power Limit to 122 and prioritized the temp (91) and that did not help. Sometimes it's averaging at 80 90 and sometimes it actually reaches 105 etc but i have not seen it go any higher than 110. The power limit has reached 110 but this was at 59c but the core and voltage was still at stock. (1342mhz core 1.225v)
As this did not help I increased the voltage by +7 and then the core went back to 1342mhz and voltage back to 1.225 (Goes to 1.200 when it throttles). at 65c it drops back again. So i increased the voltage again to +13, then at 68 69c it drops again. then at +20 the core and voltage is sustained at 1342mhz and voltage 1.225.
Does anyone know why this is happening? My MSi 970 Gaming Edition did the same thing but my Gigabyte 970 Gaming G1 did not do that. I am considering on buying the 980 G1 instead as i think they have the temp limit to 81c so if it reaches such temp it throttles to bring the temp down. Some people have experienced this on the G1 only a few as far as i'm aware.
Just to mention I can still overclock to 1535 when it throttles
Any thoughts? RMA? try the G1 as i never experienced it with that ?

Done that, when the power limit reaches 120 it throttles which is normal. As soon as i enter the game the usage is 90+% and then the core and voltage are at 1342mhz and v 1.225 as soon as it reaches 62-63c it drops the core to 1329mhz and v to 1.200. What ever i do it is stuck at that level unless i increase my voltage by +20 and then it goes to 1.225v. Then it does not throttle. What could this be? If it really is in the BIOS as MSI inteded, then why when i use third party apps to increase the power why doesn't it still force it to throttle. It seems like there is something else wrong to me.

Question about the fans spinning in the MSI GTX 980 gaming

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forums and also new to MSI. I just bought one of their 980 gtx gaming cards.
So far it seems pretty awesome. Was a little shocked when I realized that the fans on it don't even start spinning unless the card reaches at least 60 degrees. That's a really neat feature.
However, I opened the side of the case and played some games for a bit to give it a test, and I noticed that even when the fans did start, they didn't both always start. At first it was just the right one, but then the left started as well after a while.
Then a bit later, I noticed the right one was off and the left one was stopping.
Is it normal for these MSI cards to be independent of each other?
thanks.

Frankly I didn't even bother finding out my stable clocks on stock voltage this time around and went directly to +87mV. I have a case with so-so airflow, and yet OC'ed, max load I never see temps above 72C (with 100% fan profile at 65C which is the max temp before Maxwells throttle).

[REQUEST] Msi gtx 970 gaming 4g new bios

I bought a z77 motherboard and gtx 970 won't work in the pci-e 16x slot, but it works fine in pci-e 4x slot. Pci-e 16x slot works with another gpu. Motherboard bios is already latest, so the last thing I can try is to update the gpu bios.
Thanks.

Unfortunately not. And their support hasn't been much help. All they said is to try and update both bios and vbios, which did nothing. Wouldn't it be a hardware failure if all cards didnt work in the slot? I'm guessing it's a compatibility issue because both gpus are detected, the only difference is that for pci-e speed when gtx 570 is connected it says "x16", and with gtx 970 it's "x0" (seen using iGPU which isn't disabled with gtx 970). It does say "not present" if any of those cards is in the second slot, so there's that. Also, they said that they haven't got any reports of the similar problems with their brand's gtx 970.

MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G clock issue

Hi everyone,
I just installed this card into my system, installed the latest nvidia drivers (344.16) and ran GPU-Z (latest test build). This is what I got:
Is 1190 mhz core clock normal? I thought it was meant to be 1216 mhz as advertised when I bought it?
Apart from that performance seems about right, though I am not sure. I ran 3DMark Firestrike and got 11630. My system specs are as follows:
i7 2700K @ 4.6 ghz
8GB RAM
Windows 7 64bit SP1
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Use MSI Gaming App (on CD with card) to change profiles. That should change clocks too.
