MSI GTX560ti Hawk low 3dmark11 score

I recently purchased MSI GTX560ti Hawk. I ran 3dmark11 on it and on performance mode, I only got P1650 score. The graphics score is very low and the FPS averaged around 6-7.
Here is my specs:
Asus P5Q motherboard
Gigabyte Odin GT 550w PSU
Intel Q9550 oc@ 3.67GHz
Kingston DDR2 2x2GB @ 800MHz
Intel X25-M 160GB SSD
MSI GTX560ti Hawk
I know the package box suggested using a minimum 600W PSU but I managed to boot into windows and play games with my 550W. I can run Assassin Creed Brotherhood and Shogun 2 on very high graphic setting.
Could the very low 3dmark11 graphics score due to the low PSU power supply? Please help  
Thanks!

I just bumped the core voltage up block by block from +0 to +150 on Afterburner 2.2.0 beta 3.
I tested Heaven DX11 benchmark on all of those voltages and there were artifacts in all of them (running VGA default clocks). But there were less artifacts as the core voltage went up.
Is my PSU not supplying enough power?

Is my PSU not supplying enough power?
could be , but basically should be more than enough if the stats can be trusted.
Test the VGA in another machine[who has a better PSU, with strong single rail] then see how its goes there

try next voltage step and retest

    As you have probably read in the title, I seem to get a low score on 3dmark11, considering that this is a fairly new system (2weeks old ) I don't think that my system is bottlenecking my 570:
    i7 2600k CPU
    kingston ram 1333MHz (cas9)
    vertex 3 max iops
    asus p8p67 evo
    gtx 570 power edition/oc

    The other things in there aren't really relevant I guess.

    Considering that this is a power edition/oc I thought I should have at least gotten scores that are slightly better than average/average, not below average  
    I've also seen that my frame rate is fairly low (18-24 fps) in 3dmark 11
    And ~23 fps(according to fraps) in crysis warhead with enthusiast settings with 16xAA (according to fraps) <-- I also saw some artifacts on maybe 1/2 tree's throughout the game: White dots all over it, if you want me to post a screenshot just say so and I'll go load my save game and upload the pic

  • MSI GTX 760 HAWK low overclocking/core voltage lock

    Hello, I bought the gtx 760 hawk and i tried to overclock it, but it's overclocking potential is very low. Furthermore if I change core voltage +12mV in afterburner nothing changes. Voltage is still stuck at 1.200. There's absolutely no difference. I use ver. 3.0.0 beta 14 of afterburner. Please help.

    GTX 760 NVidia specs
    Base Clock 980
    Boost Clock 1033
    MSI N760 Hawk
    Base Clock 1111
    Boost Clock 1176
    That is what the card is guaranteed to prvide you with.
    Additionally, MSI provides voltage and clock adjustments to allow users to potentially OC it even more (no guarantee). Each individual sample will yield different results. We have users that had to RMA cards because they were unstable even at the guaranteed OC'ed speeds.

    I see in some reviews that they reach the power limit at the level of 185%
    Review sites receive cherry picked samples that have been pre-tested and the results are indicative of what the best of the range may do. All the manufacturers try and have their best samples reviewed for obvious reasons.
    The MSI Afterburner releases will be updated when Unwinder and the rest of the development team get around to it. Read the dedicated threads in guru3d

  • MOVED: Too high voltage on MSI 560 HAWK?

    This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Undervolting & Modding Corner.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=151625.0

    Hi man,  i also have a gtx560ti hawk, in my case my default  core voltage was  1037mv.   I lowered the voltage to 1000mv and increase the core to 1 Ghz and memory to 2300mhz, this is 100% stable ,  so , first ill suggest you to lower your core voltage to 1037mv and check stability,  if it's stable  , decrease the core voltage more and do some stability tests,  this  also will help with temps, in my case this undervolt reduced my temps  like 4-5° so  the fan is less noisy, althought with my core to 1Ghz ,   this card is great,  you should not have problems if you lower the voltage and even if you do some overclocking like me.

  • Too high voltage on MSI 560 HAWK?

    Recently i used voltmeter to check the core voltage on my GTX 560-Ti Hawk and compare it with Afterburner. Default voltage in software is 1.087 V in 3D (+0 mV), voltmeter showed about 1.228 V. I tried all steps in 12-13 mV from -100 to +50 mV, higher is scared. In all cases the difference between AB and meter is about 138 mV! Is it normal? What voltage is critical? I think this is main reason why my card is too hot (max 80*C in Witcher 2). Or I used incorrect pins for measurements? When you look at V-check connectors (coolers "look down") - left is GPU pin, middle is memory pin, right is PLL, isn't it? Memory voltage and PLL weren't changing when I applied different voltage (memory was 1.590 V and PLL - 1.059 V).
    Now I'm playing at 975/1950/[email protected] V in AB, but real is ~1.200 V. What should I do?
    Should I install MSI APS, or it's just powersave?
    I can't get an answer from some forums
    I have Chieftec APS-700C, Intel Core i5-2500k.

    AMD Power Play states are glitchy, and not all videos detect and run with DirectX Video Acceleration.  So max power during playback can end up on the highest power state which is not shown above.
    MSI R5770 Hawk minimum power
    The uP6204 power controller used on the MSI R5770 Hawk design nominally supports 0.5625 to 1.3500V in 0.0125V steps.
    With a stock video BIOS, MSI Afterburner 1.50/1.51 allows the MSI R5770 Hawk to be soft-modded from 1.000 to 1.350V in the roughly 0.0125V steps.
    The video BIOS can be set as low as 0.950V but with no steps between 0.950 and 1.000V.
    MSI Afterburner 1.60 beta 4 or earlier adds the AllowCaptureVoltageDefaults profile setting.  Acquiring, then changing the default GPU voltage allows "resetting" the Hawk to 0.950V in Afterburner for the highest frequency state.  This allows maintaining Power Play transitions and running the max frequency at 0.950V, where Afterburner by itself is limited to 1.000V.
    The max frequency state of the Hawk is 875 MHz 1200 MHz 1.200V.  To have the most flexibilty on control the Hawk, lowest power in the Desktop/HTPC/light gaming, and the ability to manually overvolt/overclock for specific games:  run the Hawk at 0.950V in the max frequency state.
    How-to work around Afterburner and the Hawk design to run 1.000V in the max frequency state. *
     1) in the video BIOS, leave the voltage as 1.200V in the BIOS--which is required for Afterburner to change the Hawk voltages in Windows
     2) in the video BIOS, change the GPU frequency of that state to something less than or equal to the maximum stable frequency at 1.000V
     3) in Afterburner, Reset to default settings **
     4) in Afterburner, change "Core Voltage" to 1.000V
     5) in Afterburner, Apply
     6) in Afterburner, Save to Profile 1
     7) in Afterburner, \Settings\Profiles\2D Profile\ & "3D Profile" choose "Profile 1" ***
     8) on each Windows startup, run Afterburner

     2) in the video BIOS, change the GPU frequency of that state to something less than or equal to the maximum stable frequency at 0.950V
     3) in Afterburner, confirm the voltage default setting for 0.950V--capture voltage defaults as needed using AllowCaptureVoltageDefaults mentioned above
     4) in notepad as an Administrator (Win 6.x), change the Hawk's profile configuration file to 0.950V
    example:
     [Settings]
     uP6204_Defaults=D7 20
     5) in Afterburner, Reset to default settings **
     6) in Afterburner, change "Core Voltage" to 1.000V--changing the profile setting to 0950/950 is not useful as of 1.60 beta 4.

     8) in Afterburner, Save to Profile 1
     9) in Afterburner, \Settings\Profiles\2D Profile\ & "3D Profile" choose "Profile 1" ***

     11) in Afterburner, "Reset" to re-enable 0.950V.
    *   UnlockVoltageControl in the primary Afterburner profile's [Settings] will likely be needed.
    **  Only default profiles support Power Play states correctly.

  • GTX560Ti Hawk high temperature

    Hello there. I'm writing to you with an issue. Recently I bought GTX560Ti Hawk with Twin Frozr III and my problem is that it goes up to really high temperatures. Usually when I play Battlefield 3 it goes up to 85*C, same when testing with Furmark. I "declocked" it using MSI AFTERBURNER to 900/1800 and temperature went down to 70*C-80*C but it's still way too hot. I have really spacious case with 2 side 140mm fans and 2 rear and back 120mm fans, all the cables are hidden so the temperature flow's ok.
    My system specs are:
    Intel i7 2600K 3.40GHz,
    ASRock P67 Pro3,
    RAM: 8GB 1600MHz HyperX,
    OCZ 750W (OCZ-ZS750W-EU/UK),
    case AEROCOOL PGS RS-9 DEVIL RED.
    Should I use warranty? Are these normal tememperatures? My previous card was like 50*C-60*C, sometimes MAX 65*C.
    Regards.
    Paul.
    @EDIT: Oh! I forgot! I'm using Windows 7 64bit.

    I advice you to return the card for replacement.
    Twin Frozr III should be more cooler than the reference design. Even MSI claims it. Check the review site for this card. I'm sure it is way more cooler.
    I have two 560TI TFII. When I play BF3 one the temps are only max 70C. The other is rampaging to 80-90C when playing BF3. So I returned the other one for replacement.
    Check the your GPU Heatsink if it very very hot when the temps hit 80-90C. If it is cooler or just bit warm then it must just bit loose contact between gpu and heatsink.
    If it's freaking very very hot then there must be something wrong on the card itself...

  • MSI GTX560TI SLI won't boot into Windows.

    So I got my second MSI GTX560TI Twin Frozr II today, and I was really looking forward to some SLI action, but when I set up both cards, I can't get past the first screen that tells me to press F8 to go to BIOS. I can't access Windows Security Mode or anything, only BIOS. After that it reboots and does the same for an endless loop.
    I can confirm that both cards are working as I have tried them both. It's not a defect powercable either, as I have tried all of them on one GPU and they seem to work fine.
    I have also tried the bottom PCIE slot, and it works as well.
    Any ideas on what might be wrong?
    The rest of my specs: (Copypasta from another forum)
    [OS: Win7 x64 Ult] [CPU: Intel I52500k] [MOBO: Asus Maximus IV GENE-Z] [RAM: Corsair Dominator 4GB]
    [GPU: MSI GTX560Ti TwinFrozr II] [SSD: Crucial C300 60GB] [CASE: Fractal Design ARC Mini]
    Also, to confirm that the two GPUs are infact the same, I took these screens from nVidia control panel:
    I can see that the Video BIOS is not the same. Could this cause any problems?
    Also, when using ROG connect to read the post codes, the last thing it says before rebooting is something about loading VGA BIOS. What to do guys?

    Quote from: Svet on 26-September-12, 08:17:59
    tell S/N of both cards and save both vbioses from each one of them, upload them somewhere and give a link to it.
    Where can I find the S/N on the card? One of them has a sticker on the PCB with the S/N on it, but I must have removed it from the other one. I'll save the vbios once I get home and upload them here.

    What psu do you have as well? Please include 12v rail ratings or a link to it.
    >>Posting Guide<<
    I have a Silver Power SP-SS750W. I don't really know what 12v rali ratings are, but I guess you can find it in this review:
    EDIT: Since I can't post external links for some reason, just Google "Silver Power SP-SS750M 750w Review" and the reviews should be right there.
    Could it be the PSU that won't power both cards? Should I try to power the second card with an external PSU?
    Thanks for all the help guys, I really appreciate it! 

  • Low Index Score on Vista

    I just finished installing vista ultimate 64-bit via bootcamp after spending about 2-3 hours hunting for drivers and now everything works! I can even control 2 out of the 4 fans! Now comes the moment to shine--the test. It logged in fine and the test seemed to finish quite fast (under 1 min 30 sec), but the score is only 4.8 with the lowest being my memory... I have a 2.4 GHz, 4GB RAM, 256 Nvidia 8600m gt video card, 160 GB 5400 rpm HD, and the lowest score is my memory? Is anyone else having the same thing happen to them?
    I installed aftermarket memory from Mushkin (2 x 2GB sticks), but I really hope thats not whats putting it down. All in all, vista 64 runs seamlessly and everything is in working order, but I just had to ask out of curiosity. Thanks.

    Yep, it's going to do that with 667MHz RAM (or even with faster 800MHz RAM if the memory controller on your model of Mac doesn't run 800MHz RAM @ full speed).
    Frankly...and this is from quite a bit of experience...don't fret the number. I have machines that are also Intel based and give a lower memory score...but they still smoke my AMD machines that score 5.9 on the Vista RAM test. The Vista system assessment is nifty, but, I wouldn't use it as the end-all, be-all for rating the performance of a computer.

  • Questions about my MSI R5770 Hawk Radeon HD 5770 and my Dell Studio 7100

    Ok, I have had this card installed for about a year now. From the beginning Catalyst Control Center had given me error messages, "Catalyst Control Centre: Host application has stopped working. Windows is checking for solutions" every time I start the machine or every time I try to use the Catalyst Control Center. This has not been a problem because I have been using a 2 monitor system using the DVI port from on and the HDMI to Display Port adapter to the second larger monitor (if I went straight HDMI I can't change the settings and I end up with a 1 inch black border around the desktop and the outer edge of the 23" monitor,) so I just worked around with the HDMI to DVI. Well now I am trying to hook up three monitors. One to the Display port through a Displayport to DVI, one to the HDMI through the HDMI to DVI and one to the Display port. No matter what I try to do through the Windows display control panel, I can not get the displayport monitor (which ever is hook to that port) to display. Windows 7 does detect all three monitors, but it will not allow me to "extend the desktop" to the third monitor and I still can't get the Catalyst Control Center to work.
    I have uninstalled all files from ATI or AMD that involve the video and reinstalled the latest drivers and software, but the Catalyst Control center still is not running.
    If you could help me with this it would be great. I am a graphics designer and web designer/developer and not a hardware or software tech and I have been googling and trying different possible answers since yesterday morning.
    My graphics card is

    Dell Studio XPS 7100, AMD Athlon IIX4 630 Processor 2.80 GHz

    I am attempting to hook up a LG W2361 to the HDMI through HDMI to DVI adapter (presently working) at 1920 x 1080
    an LG W1952 (at 1440 x 900) through the DVI port to DVI (presently working) and
    an old Samsung SyncMaster 170t  to the Displayport through a the adapter (not working) monitor is detected but it will not allow the extend desktop to be applied.
    Hope someone can help, thanks in advance for just reading all of this. 

    Just incase anyone runs into a similar problem. I figured it out.
    Somehow in one of either the ATI driver updates or in a Microsoft update, my drivers and software was contaminated. I deleted all software and drivers for the card, which I had already tried several times. But this time I went into safe mode used CCcleaner in safe mode and cleared the register of all entries. I then reloaded and the Catalyst Control center and it works fine now.
    The problem with the three monitors seems to be that the one hooked to the displayport, if you are using more than 2 monitors, must be hooked to an active displayport adapter. I was using a passive adapter. So either I need to buy a very expensive adapter or.....maybe a new monitor that uses displayport. 
    Hopefully this will help someone else having this issue.

  • Installed MSI R5770 Hawk but PC says: HD 3200

    Hello to all. I just purchased and installed A MSI R5770 HAWK video card. I installed all the software and everything looks good, but after I finnished the install through the ATI Catalyst manager, I clicked on "View log" and it said: Hardware info=   ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
    Did I do something wrong? I believe that the HD3200 is the on-board graphics(maybe). What should I do to get the most out of this GPU?? I do have monitor hooked up threw the HDMI on the card and I have good pic., I just thought that the Hardware should say: "ATI HD5770 " shouldn't it?
    By the way I did search the forms before I posted, just in case you notice that this is my first post. Many Thanks, >>>>RiZ<<<<<

    Yes, the HD3200 is integrated and not related to MSI R5770 HAWK
    So the 5770 is not detected by the system or?
    Have you checked in device manager? Is it listed there?
    Check with also with AIDA64 At Display, GPU page:

  • Getting audio through HDMI on MSi 5770 Hawk

    Hey all,
    I just built a new system using the ASUS P6X58D Premium motherboard and I have two MSi r5770 Hawk graphics cards CrossFire'd.  I've got my monitor plugged into the DVI port and also an HDMI cable from the HDMI port to my surround sound system (and to TV).  I'm not getting any audio out of the HDMI (not surprising).  I'm reasonably sure I need a SPDIF cable from the graphics card to the motherboard. 
    So I think the graphics card came with two of these weird looking SPDIF cables that just have the connector to the graphics card and these two weird socket cables.  There are two problems with this:  For the two weird socket things, I don't see anyplace on the motherboard for it to go.  Second, the cables are literally like two inches long, so there's no way it is going to reach the motherboard even if it were the right cable.
    So I guess what I'm wondering is if anyone can tell me what cable I need to go from the SPDIF connector on the P6X58D Premium mobo to the MSI r5770 Hawk graphics card.  Or do I have the wrong idea?
    Thanks!

     Are you describing the MOLEX to 6 pin power adapters and not S/PDIF cable? S/PDIF cable is about 130mm (12 in.) long 2 wire cable and are only supplied from MSI with NVIDIA VGA cards. ATI should have internal S/PDIF and I don't think they need the cable.

  • MSI GTX560ti TwinFrozr2 (SLi) - Plz FFS Help :)

    **Problem**
    MSI GTX560ti TwinFrozr2 (SLi)
    Straight from box - never overclocked anything tbh
    275.33 Drivers
    Samsung SM 2693HM 26"
    Corsair TX 850w (recommended)
    Win 7 64bit Ultimate

    Ok, until last week, I had a EVGA GTX295 card with no problems whatsoever but after installing the latest drivers - 275.33, completely at random times I would get the error: Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered. This generally happened when I played either Fable or Dragon Age 2. Got lots of artifacting, black screen, the error and the game stopped responding. It has also happened whilst browsing Firefox or simply opening a folder in my PC, but generally in games. Anyway, obviously searched the net for possible causes and attempted to fix but nothing worked. As I am Mr Impatient, I drove from the NE of England to Scan and bought 2 MSI GTX560ti TwinFrozr2 (SLi) thinking my EVGA card was faulty. Installed the 2 new cards, 275.33 drivers (without the nvidia update or HD Audio drivers), fresh install of Win 7, same problem. I have tested my system memory, 3 passes on each stick with no errors. The PSU is a recommended one, although it is 2 years old, possible decrease in power and peformance? I am thinking it must be a driver issue and will rollback to a previous version later tonight and see if that helps. I have also heard that a possible problem with stock voltage? I have never OC anything before so am a little wary of changing voltages as I am not sure how to do it without screwing cards up. In MSI Afterburner Core Clock shows as 2100Mhz, Shader Clock as 1760Mhz and Memory Clock as 880Mhz. Apparently certified voltage is 822mhz, Factory out of box is set to 880mhz, but have no idea how to change this and tbh I shouldnt have too after spending all this £ on hardware.
    Rolling back to 266 or 270 drivers did nothing. Temps are fine using 3d Mark/Unigine Heaven although I am getting the errors in 3dMark. I now reformatted, yet again, installed all latest hardware drivers, Mobo etc and the 270 nvidia drivers and I am still having problems. I dont have the facility of trying them in another PC but have tested cards one by one in PC and still get errors. Rang Scan up and all I got from there techs was, "me and a mate are running GTX460's in SLi using latest drivers and we have no problems". FFS, all I want is this sorted out. I spend loads with Scan and Overclockers and tbh support is rather cr*p (not you OC ). They say it is not the drivers, ok, the ONLY change I have done on my PC was install the nvidia latest drivers on my GTX295 and thats when the errors started happening. New cards and same problem. I am seriously considering taking my PC down to them and getting them to see the errors and damn sort it for me :(
    Further, memtestG80 and memtestCL both reported zero errors on both GPU's. Ran Unigine Heaven again and got as far as stage 20 and got error again, can hear the music in the background, system then crashes alt tab wont work, ctrl alt del wont work and reboot only option. 3DMark errored with some kernel error. Formatted again installed 266 drivers again same errors but this time when I try to update to 270/275 drivers I get a failed install.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated guyz

    Svet you were correct, I took the 2nd card out and ran Unigine Heaven and 3DMark and it passed twice no problems. Switched the cards over and I got the error within 20 seconds of Unigine Heaven and couldnt get past Test 2 in 3DMark, tried that one twice too and failed both times. Just spoke to Scan and they said bring it back and they will actually test the replacement card for me before I leave
    Damn what a simple solution all this time :/

  • [BIOS REQUEST] MSI 270X Hawk 2GB

    Hi! I have a problem with a newly purchased MSI 270X Hawk 2GB. I have tried it in the following PCs:

    It works with the default windows driver in both PCs, but when the AMD driver is installed it fails after the windows welcome screen. Sometimes the screen turns blue, sometimes black/grey, and sometimes there are blue squares in lines on the screen and the PC freezes up. To get it to work again I have to boot into safe mode and remove the driver with Display Driver Uninstaller, since the normal uninstaller doesnt work in safe mode.
    Drivers I tried:
    13-12_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql
    amd_catalyst_14.1_betav1.6
    MSI Graphics Driver (both from the CD and the website)
    Tried with both BIOS modes. Tried in both PCI-E slots in the asrock board. The 6 pin power connectors are split between the two rails.
    I also have an MSI 270X Gaming 2GB, and it works in both PCs without issues. The previous owner updated the BIOS on that one.
    I know that the PSUs are far from optimal, but they had no problems with the 270X Gaming on full load or my previous GTX275, even when I overclocked the CPU and had 4/5 hard drives in there. The PSU upgrade (XFX Pro 850W) is on its way, but it is still around a week or more until it arrives.
    Here is the current bios:

    I would like to try flashing the newest bios to see if it helps.
