MSI GTX580 Twin Froxr III power edition problems.

Hello last night i kinda played around with afterburner and checking it with Kombustor, doing some testing in various benchmarks, at one point it said gpu throttling -3MHz
The card never exceeded 63 degrees C no artifacts at all, so now when i push reset on afterburner it goes to stock settings only kombustor shows throttling -3MHz but at 803-841 on core and 2005-20025 memory it shows no such thing but sometimes oc doesn't seem to get me all that better results, well the highest i got in heaven is 1377 stock 1260 something.
Can i have damaged the card even though it never was getting hot at all?
I am  noob at OC but i know something about it and i know as long as i don't meddle with voltage  i can+t really burn the card and also i use 70+% fan speed on the card when oc´d/gaming
have i really hurt the card?
since combustor/furmark shows797/800, GPU-Z 800 core afterburner shows 800MHz core 2004 memory

797 to 800, yes. As far as I can see MSI says 800Mhz and not 810Mhz (http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N580GTX-TWIN-FROZR-III-15D5-POWER-EDITION-OC.html)
  Yep!
Oh yes, almost no game is currently more stressing than BF3.
so i see now that i looked at that link it shows 800 mybe i looked at another oc´d card adn got mixed up
i also wonder ewhen i raise the clock to say 846 adn memory to 2036 i sometimes get lower rsults on heaven for example than if i just oc it to tiny little 810mhz core and keep memory at 2004 how come it goes that way?
i also wonder there is a bios for my card on MSI website but i do not know if it is newer than the one on the card, it said something about stability
and thank you now i can sleep alot better knowing it is ok :D

  • MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC memory clock?

    I have had an MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC for about 6 months now and have used MSI Afterburner to monitor temps etc. Today I used it to lower my overclocking as others had said Ghost Recon Future Soldier doesn't crash if you take it off.
    If you look at the MSI product page for the card (the forum won't let me post a link to it!?) you can see the Memory Clock Speed(MHz) says 4000 yet in Afterburner mine said 2000Mhz and the slider was in the middle. I am pretty sure there is no multiplier at work here so mine wasn't being overclocked?
    Any ideas? I have reduced it down to 1800Mhz and GRFS doesn't crash anymore but can I take it up to 4000Mhz safely in future? I do not want to overload the card.

    you have multiply the memory value x2 to get the effective speed

  • Two displays for MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC graphics card ?

    Is it possible to have two displays simultaneously connected to this graphics card:
    http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R6950-Twin-Frozr-III-Power-Edition-OC.html#?div=Overview
    The card has two DVI-outputs "DVI Output: 2 (Single-Link DVI-D x1, Dual-Link DVI-I x1)".  I can use one display at a time and the second display only shows "No signal" error. I would like to use two displays when playing PC games, is it possible with this craphics card? Both my displays have VGA connector cables, and they are connected to the card with an VGA/DVI adapter.

    what monitors you are using and what resolutions you're trying to use?
    Both monitors are old models: 1) Panasonic PanaFlat PF90 2) acer AL 707.
    I'm not sure what resolution I was using on acer when I tried to connect both monitors, but now I'm using PanaFLat with 1280 x 1024. Maybe I should try to set them both on 1024 x 768 and try again.

  • MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition – Replacement Heat Sink?

    Hello,
    Does anyone know of a good 3rd party heat sink that will definitely fit this non reference card? We all know that manufactures such has Artic, Thermalright and Prolimatech make such heat sinks, but of course they are for reference cards. I'm sure you can understand that I don't want to make any expensive mistakes!
    Thanks,
    Krutish.

    Thanks for the reply flobelix.
    My main concern was the amount of decibels this card produced when pushed, not its thermal properties. Under high stress the card would peak at 80-85c with a fan speed of anywhere around 80-100%. Normal gaming temps would be around 65c-75c depending on game, or gaming environment, with matching fan speeds. That is why I was looking for a replacement, the temps  were within the manufactures tolerances, even if a little high, but the db's were well outside of  mine!
    However, the situation as changed somewhat. While messing around inside the case trying to improve airflow I accidentally touched the heat-sink assembly, and upon doing so the fan instantly roared to 100% and the temps started to shoot up. I wiggled the assembly again and the fan and temps dropped back! So it seemed like the heat-sink was lose! I removed the card and tightened the screws a little, this solved the problem in regards to the temp/fan shooting up, but the temps were still high!
    The next step was to completely remove the heat-sink, give it a good clean and replace the thermal compound in the hope that this would solve the noise/heat problem. It was at this point that I spotted the problem! The GPU was absolutely caked in thermal compound, so much so that all of the resistors around the GPU were also covered in thermal grease, (Don't these guys know less is better?) good job they hadn't used a metal based thermal compound, that could have wrecked the card!
    Anyway, I removed the mess and used TIM-clean to dissolve what was left and finished the clean up with isopropanol. I applied a small amount of compound, replaced the heat-sink and Bobs your uncle! Max loads so far, GPU 64c – Fan speed 55%... That I can live with!
    So there you have it, this card as been noisy and running hot from the day I brought it, but I didn’t know any better, I've never seen or heard a MSI R6950 in action before, now I have!
    Made In China. (Sad Face)

    Oh almost forgot... i heard off Artic, they recommend the Twin Turbo II, Xtreme II or the Xtreme III for this card!

  • MSI 570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition

    How far am I able to safely push the voltages in afterburner?

    Quote from: Svet on 23-June-12, 04:50:05
    the one that you can able to set
    Yes Svet is right just like Guru3d says : unless you don't mod/unlock Afterburner then what Afterburner reads it is the safe voltage for your card.
    I used to have MSI GTX570 TFII OC and got stable daily 930/1100 with 1.075 Volt. Max was 970/1100 with 1.100 Volt only for benches not gaming
    Daily usage :
    For 950MHz I need to use max VGPU 1.1 Volt for stable daily gaming but it was abit hotter temp max beyond 70 C but still under 80 C so I choose 930MHz for daily usage.
    MSI cards are good for overclocking especially TwinFrozer or Hawk or Lightning  series too bad now I will have ASUS GTX570 DCUII ... I was searching a used card ^_^

  • MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC Bf3 crash ?

    I used to play bf3 with high setttings but now ı start using ultra,now it stutters like freezes then it crashes especially when I zoom in with sniper rifles ,I saw people play this game with this card in ultra settings butter smooth in  youtube ,is it about getting hot or my 4 gig ram is not enough ,any of u guys have any idea ,maybe the psu not enough ?
    my specs highpower 650 w
    4gb ram
    e2500k
    4 gskill ripjaws 

    What are your GPU and CPU temps like when attempting the game at those settings ?
    Could be temp related.
    On paper the PSU looks OK, but the practice may be a different story. Perhaps you are able to test with a PSU that provides 35-40Amps on a single 12V rail? Friend or family. Thats the only way to see if it is the PSU.
    What about drivers ? Have you checked the Nvidia websit to see if any of the release notes speak about this?

  • 570 twin frozr III power edition oc unstable

    Hi,just finished building my new rig (i52500k,p8z68-v-pro gen3 and msi N570GTX Twin Frozr III power edition OC)but my card appears to be unstable out of the box,crashing straight away on 3d mark,i'm getting display driver stopped responding error.
    I've done a clean install of drivers etc,and only when i use afterburner to up the core voltage by 25mV does the card become stable.(have not tried less voltage)
    Why isnt it working at stock voltage ?
    I even tried bf3 using the card at fully stock settings,and it crashed minutes into the game

    Sounds like the same problem i was having https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=155348.0
    Most games would crash 10-30 seconds into the game, battlefield 3 lasted about 2-3 minutes before crashing and restarting.
    Now i have a decent power supply unit no more crashing just hours of fun gaming

  • NGTX570 Twin Frozr iii Power Edition/OC freezing problem

    Hello,
    I have problem with my card. In some games at total random time my screen freeze and I get some little white "bolts" all over my screen, display driver stop working and i must do ctrl+alt+del to exit that process or sometimes i cannot do anything and i must restart PC on button. Look at picture which are posted and u will see whats happen. I have installed latest drivers, but i still have that problem.
    I never clocked graphic card, its on default settings.
    I bought this card 27.12.2011 and have this problem from the start.
    My config is:
    CPU AMD Phenom 2 X4 965
    Motherboard M4A87TD
    NGTX570 Twin Frozr iii Power Edition/OC
    Kingston DDR3 12GB
    Chieftec 650W
    Regards,
    Veljko

    I didn't pay attention because it doesn't often happen. I still have guarantee - for 2 years, but the problem is that if i send my card back they will check the card and the problem may not happen and they will send me my card back. I have mentioned before that the problem occurs at random time.
    One thing more, when I test the card in hard tests like Furmark and Kombustor that problem never happens. It occurs in video games which are not very demanding. I would ask you if it is usual that the temperature is always over 70 degrees in every game (even over 80 when playing new demanding games). I ask you that because i have read on various forums that the temperature doesn't increases that much.
    Thanks

  • Driver for N560GTX-448 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC -l- split

    I bought the card about four weeks ago and just now I had the opportunity to test it.
               When I installed the video card in my PC, the device manager appears only a standard VGA video card. When I installed the driver, Device Manager showed a yellow exclamation on Nvidia's GeForce GTX 560 Ti saying "Windows has stopped this device becouse encounter some problems (error 43). I tried running some games but I could not open them, and with some drivers the screen was filled with artifacts
              I tried various drivers on my two PCs, from one that comes with the video card to the 295.73 driver, and each time the same warning on device manager. Can anyone help solve this or may I do a RMA to MSI?
    My systems:
    AMD A3500
    Gigabyte A75M-D2H
    4Gb RAM Kingston DDR3
    SevenTeam 550W.
    Intel Core2Quad 9400
    Gigabyte EP43-DS3L
    8Gb RAM Corsair
    SevenTeam 750W
    Thank you.

    You sure your PSU has enough amps on the 12V rail and you connected the PCIE power connectors properly ?
    Have you checked your Motherboard's BIOS revisions for updates regarding the later video cards ?
    Your PCIE Bus interface should be 2.0 X 16. Have you reseated the card properly and disabled the on board graphics in your BIOS ?
    My PSU is a SevenTeam 750ZAF with 750W. I used it to do SLI of my 9800GTX+ in the other computer and never had problems with it. I doubt that this could be my problem.
    The GA-EP43-DS3L already has the ultimate BIOS and I did the update on the GA-A75M-D2H BIOS. Nothing new, the problem persist.
    Anyone of my boards does not support PCI-Express 2.0 but this is not a requisites for  work of the video board like said the MSI page:
    http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N560GTX-448-Twin-Frozr-III-Power-Edition-OC.html#?div=Feature
    "PCI Express 2.0 doubles the bandwidth of previous generations of PCI express up to an astonishing 16Gb/s. This maximizes the performance of current graphics cards in today's most demanding games and applications. PCI Express 2.0 products are fully compatible with mainboards with other versions of PCI Express."

  • R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC goes to full power when in idle

    My R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC acts normally, when i use the PC. When it goes to idle, the card heats up and turns the speed to 100%. When i remove the drivers there's no problem. I've tried with the different drivers there and on the AMD page.

  • N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC ----- No Boot / Blue Screen

    Hello all,
      I recently purchase a brand new N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC.  Previous to installing the card I had a gt250 with the latest Nvidia drivers installed (285.62).  I installed the n570 and booted up no problems.  I was able to see the new card installed in device manager and also confirmed it in afterburner.  However, I wasn't able to set or view the voltage settings even after enabling in preferences and restarting afterburner.  Although, the remaining settings / stats seemed to work fine.  I was also able to do a full kombuster (ultra settings) benchmark with no problems, receiving a decent score and topping out temps in the high 50's I think.  I also played a few games and turned up settings with no trouble.
      When I rebooted my machine as the windows load screen popped up I got a BSOD and an error referencing nvlddmkm.sys.  All reboots there after either failed to the same BSOD error or rebooted the machine.  Booting into safe mode had no problem as did booting into normal mode if I uninstalled all nvidia drivers first.   As long as I boot into safe mode or there's no drivers installed it doesn't fail.
      I've tried every version of the nvidia drivers I can find.  286.62, the newest 290 beta drivers, the 266 versions that came on the cd and multiple 270's version that were noted the most stable in internet forums...all produce the same results.  I then updated the bios on my motherboard to the latest.  I also reinstalled a fresh copy of win7 x64, and ran all system updates include service pack 1.  I did all those updates with my 250 installed.  After I had a solid system I put in the n570 and rebooted.  I again had a perfect boot and was able to access the card (not the voltage via afterburned or any info via live update 5).  I was able to run benchmarks etc once again.  Upon a reboot, it failed back to the BSOD again.  I repeated the multiple driver tests, all failed the same.
      If anyone could suggest something other than RMA I would be happy to give something else a try.  It seems silly to RMA a card that works so well on first boot until I reboot windows.  But I'm out of ideas...
    System specs:
    N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC
    Intel Core i7 950
    6gigs Ram
    730 watt power supply (w/ dual pci-e power connectors)
    Gigabyte x58a-ud3r rev2 (newest bios - standard clock speeds - default voltage settings for pcie)
    Win7 x64 Service pack 1 (all windows updates)
    Thanks for any help.

    Also, if it helps to note, on the initial install (both times) the card was stable for hours until I shut down and rebooted.  If it were a power issue wouldn't it be unlikely to be stable for such a long time (even during stress tests) and then not even be able to load windows correct after a reset?  Seems like a driver issue to me, however as I've said I've tried them ALL haha.
    Thanks for the help

  • Does N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC have OCP?

    Hello,
    (1.) does the MSI's N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC VGA have OCP, since it utilizes custom PCB and, compared to reference, has more VRMs?
    Any URIs would be appreciated.
    Thank you very much.
    EDIT:
    Hi again,
    I wish to add two subquestions:
    2. Does OCP (for the GTX500 series, in general) affect Kombustor, given the fact that it's based on FurMark?
    3. Does "Xtreme burn-in mode" in Kombustor and FurMark bypass the OCP?
    Thank you.

    Quote from: Svet on 16-March-12, 18:35:01
    Yes, all cards have such
    If its Disabled it will effect anywhere
    No
    Excuse me, Sir, I do not understand what you mean by "If its Disabled it will effect anywhere".
    My understanding is that OCP used to throttle down heat generation and performance of OCCT, FurMark, and the like, but ever since ForceWare 267, it applies to every application. What do you mean by "Disabled"; did you mean enabled? I apologize for my confusion, Sir.
    I remember that GPU-Z had a mode to disable the OCP (/GTX580OCP), then the newer ForceWare denied the disable, possibly thereafter TPU countered and reworked their mod to bypass the OCP again (/GTX500OCP); judging from the previous sentence, it should be possible to disable the OCP throttling via a software tweak (not just hard-modding the PCB), and I wondered whether Kombustor/FurMark implemented this software-based solution into the "Xtreme burn-in mode", since, for example, Kombustor displays the "Unlocking power draw will increase graphics card workload." warning when one selects the "Xtreme burn-in mode". The bottom line is that I only want to learn what "Xtreme burn-in mode" is really all about, could you, please, explain its concept to me?
    P. S.: I do not challenge you; I'm only trying to learn. Thank you for your help; I truly appreciate all the time and effort you vest into these forums; you're a star!
