MSI NVIDIA GeForce GT 640, 4GB 128-Bit DDR3 on my p7-1380t Desktop

I am looking for a new graphics card that will not require a new power supply and I was wondering if this one would work with my computer. I am not looking for any top of the line stuff and nothing too expensive either

This question was solved.
View Solution.

A-diddy, welcome to the forum.
If this is the video card that you want to buy, I don't believe that it will work with the existing 300W PSU. It has an additional power connector which means that it requires more that the 75W provided by the PCIe slot to operate properly. The specs say that it only consumes 45W. I don't know why they have an additional power connector. Your existing PSU does not have the required cable for the connector.
I suggest calling the manufacturer's Customer Service to verify the requirements are correct.

MSI CX61 20D-011, does the NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M have 128 bit or 64 bit bandwit

hello, i am planning on getting a new laptop and im very picky as to what i buy.
the MSI CX61 20D-011 pretty much ticks almost all my boxes for it performance to price ratio.
now i need to know what vertion of NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M graphics it has.
"The NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M is a DirectX 11 graphics card of the middle class. It is based on the Kepler architecture and manufactured by TSMC in a 28-nanometer process. In addition to an older version with the GK107 chip (384 shader, 810 - 895 MHz, 128 bit memory), there also exist models with the new GK208 (384 shader, up to 980 MHz plus boost, 64 bit memory). Both versions usually use DDR3 memory; however, GDDR5 versions are possible, too."
this has been quoted from the notebookcheck as external links are not allowed apparently
as you can see the 740M has 2 different chips a 128 bit one and a 64 bit one.
for me it would be desirable to have the wider bandwidth of the 128 bit one.
can someone please confirm, thanks.

This goes to MSI:
This is total disrespect to customers to offer 64bit, GDDR3 type GPU in nowadays laptop. This is very bad behavior, even though they never claimed CX as a gaming machine. WHat they do should be on 2009 laptop. Not on 2013 year.
Thank you for a screenshot.
1. Stop bashing MSI: >>Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.<<
2. It's quite normal to use that kind of GDDR3 with entry level gpus and it is meant by Nvidia to be used that way. Using GDDR5 instead is optional and not quite attractive for notebooks of the CX61 price range which aren't meant for gaming.
3. This is a Users-to-Users Forum. If you want to contact MSI do so: >>How to contact MSI.<<

MSI nVidia GeForce 4200 TI driver problem

Hi.. I really need your help guys..
First of all, I have Windows XP Pro.
Okay, I have this MSI nVidia GeForce 4200 TI card, and wanted to change drivers.
I had 50.xx, and wanted to change back to 40.xx, because it works better with Counter-Strike.
So, I went into Device Manager and went into the video card properties -> driver.
I pressed the 'Uninstall driver', because you need to uninstall the newer driver if you want to install an older driver.
Then my computer restarted, and when it was booting, a blue screen or something came up, with text about my computer was deleting and scanning some files(?).
I don't know what it was uninstalling excatly, but when I got into Windows I had to use a 'VGA driver' or something..
I tried to install the 40.xx driver, double clicked the Setup.exe but when it was begining to install this error came up: 'An error occured while launching the setup. (0x80040702)'.
I don't know what it means, but I can't install any drivers for nVidia?!
I tried the Device manager, and I can't update the 'VGA' ..
It's like my computer isn't recognizing the card or something.. I've tried 'Add new hardware' and everything.
Please help me!
Thanks in advance.
P.S. My PC specs:
Intel Pentium4 2.0GHz
Some IBM mainboard
512DDR
GeForce 4200 TI
Windows XP Pro

Generally for nVidia drivers for the VGA, is what I explained above by going to Add Remove programs in control panel and look for the entry for nVidia display drivers.
Since you are asking me this, I fear you may not be at the experience level required to do this as it can be somewhat of a nightmare if all the drivers are not removed completely. This is what you just experienced.
Look at the top of this forum and you will se an Important thread called driver cleaner, by Bonz and then the one above it by me. Go to the DriverHeaven Website and download the DC utility but make sure you read EVERYTHING and understand it before you proceed. If you are confused or not comfortable, then I suggest finding someone that is experienced enough to do it for you.
It should be pretty straightforward.
Good luck

Problem with MSI Nvidia GeForce 6800 LE (128MB) when playing 3D games

Games problem
I have bought a new MSI Nvidia GeForce 6800 LE (128MB) a couple of months ago and have been have loads of trouble when playing games.
In windows, the graphics card works fine. The computer never crashes and everything is speedy. Movies on DVD, Xvid, Divx all play fine without problem, the most I get is the occasional freezing and then windows will be normal again.
The problem arises when I try to play a 3D game. When I load up the game it goes into the menu screens ok, the computer will load up the 3D engine and it will play for around a minute nice and crisp then the screen will go blank and computer will lock up. Then all the drives will go quiet and the computer will make 3 beeps with the PC speaker. Pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL at this point does nothing, nor does the reset button. I have to turn the power on and off.
I really have no clue why this is happening, I have taken the covers off and kept it in a cool area, hoping that it was something to do with over heating, my computer is not overly cluttered and this has made no difference.
I have also unplugged the CDR, DVDR, USB ports, one Hard drive (storage) to see if it was something to do with the power no getting to the Videocard and then tried to play a game and the same problem arose.
I have two games that I have tried, Tiger woods 2005 and doom III, both of which crash in the same manner.
I have tried to be as detailed as I can with the descritopn of my computer below and the power details I'm not sure about so I posted a picture of the power unit to help.
Many thanks for your help in this matter, I'm desperately trying to get some worth out of this card and feel frustrated that its going bonkers only when trying to play games :/
Please tell me if you require further information about the system.

Firstly, thank you for all your prompt responses, I really appreciate it. From the sounds of it, the PSU is ****
antec
From what I have read, the Antec PSUs have good reliability and ratings. I looked around and saw this one: Antec NEOPower 480W ATX PSU for around £65. I also went read that article posted by Dr Stu, which then stumbled on more articles about PSUs.
I have a couple more questions….
The rating of my system (http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/Power_Supply_Calculator.php) with all the components running came out to be 422W. So do you think that the Antec NEOPower 480W ATX PSU would be sufficient for the computer considering I might add more RAM in the future?
Or should I buy the 500W+ one then?
Does anyone know if the Antec PSUs are quiet? My current q-Tec one makes me feel I'm in an aeroplane.
lucky I read the forum!
I was in Maplins (computer shop) at lunch and thought, that shiny 650W Q-Tec looks nice and there looks like loads of power, that much do the trick. i got to the counter and thought.....let me wait, till i get home from work and read some more on the forum about this PSU issue.
Thanks god I didn’t buy that S***. having read some of the reviews, i would have wasted loooots of money for nothing.

MSI Geforce 7800 GTX with MSI Nvidia GeForce 7800GT in SLI?

Hi. I bought the MSI Nvidia GeForce 7800GT a few months ago with the intention of buying a second to run in SLI. Now i can't seem to find anywhere that sells it at a decent price. Originally i bought it from www.ebuyer.co.uk but they have discontinued it.
Could i buy a MSI Geforce 7800 GTX and run it in SLI? They should have the same gpu and the specs aren't that different.

Is MSI Geforce FX 5200 T128 128 bit ?

hey guys,
please tell me is my Graphic card MSI Geforce FX 5200 T128 is 128 bit or not?

hey guys,
i wanted to ask if the basic FX 5200 is 64 bit then what will those VTD models of the FX 5200 do , it makes no sense either MSI FX 5200 is 64 bit Original and there are no 128 bits ok or it must be FX 5200 Ultra which i could not get cause it was not available only i could find was FX 5700 Ultra which was too expensive or the 5600 which was also expensive this was perfect but each model i found was 65 bit ??? why ?

'Which is better quality?' EVGA or MSI - Nvidia GeForce GTX 760

Hiya
I am looking for feedback and suggestions on which manufacturer creates the best video card hardware particularly the 760 I am currently looking at two cards but am also open to other suggestions and feedback on cards
has anyone had any experience with MSI video cards?
these are the two cards I currently have in mind
EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-2765-KR GeForce GTX 760 2GB
newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130932
MSI Gaming N760 TF 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 760 2GB
newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127745
does the MSI have any advantage over EVGA in longevity with something like solid state Japanese capacitors? I am kinda looking for a card that will last the longest with out warranty support ect
and do MSI cards have rust problems? I thought I would ask just to be sure when I made a account I saw this thread at top of forum with a picture that will surely haunt my dreams
forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171735.0

This is an MSI forum. Discussing competing brand's products is not allowed. The MSI card is a great one. Google it and check online reviews.

No, I'm using all kinds of MSI vgas for more than 10 years and have never seen anything like the pic in that thread. It's something the user did physically to this card as that doesn't happen just after time.

Is the better NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4GB GDDR5 worth it?

Just a year ago, having 2GB of video ram was considered pretty massive. Now we can upgrade the standard iMac to this 4GB card (when ordering new). Wondering if anyone has any views about whether or not I will notice any benefit in real world rather than benckmark tests, compared to the 775m card. I will be using Final Cut Pro X, Photoshop, Aperture and some other graphics stuff, but no gaming to speak of and no 3D rendering.

I take your point about future needs, but at the same time, if the 2GB card was the top end just a year ago, then I wonder if the faster card makes a real difference at all.
Mende1, I'm saying that I will be using all those apps snf I'm using them all for my work, so seroius work, but can't ever imagine editing 4k video and no 3d rendering. I will edit in 1920 HD though.

MSI Nvidia Geforce 9500 GS 512MB w/HDMI (OEM). Does it support SLI or not?

I really really need to know if this OEM video card used in HP Pavilion computers supports SLI? Anyone from MSI has the answer?

If its in a HP Pavilion PC, then you'd need to ask HP about it. My guess is if the Pavilion PC doesn't support SLI, then neither will the graphics card.
But, we only provide support for MSI retail products here, so this topic is locked.

MSI drivers to nVidia GeForce 7 series?

Hi, I'm an old costumer of MSI graphics cards, and always enjoyed the D.O.T. functionality. Today I have a MSI nVidia GeForce 7 based graphic card, the NX 7800GTX-VT2D256E.
I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate with the latest nVidia driver, but I'd like to know if I may expect a MSI driver that implement the D.O.T. to my card, once I don't feel comfortable with Coolbits and softwares alike.
Thanks,
Marcus

Hi
The best answer that I can give you is 'I do not know' since this is a user to user forum and nobody here is an employee of MSI so we do not know what MSI has planned.
Have you considered ATI Tool?

It works on NVidia chipsets also.

Has anyone else used a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 4GB on a mac in AE? We just got one from Macvidcards and AE seems really slow starting and closing.
In fact when you quit the MediaCore then hangs for ages when you restart. I edited the supported Raytracer setting and it is seen and can use Cuda.
Also is anyone still getting "Adobe QT32 Server (Not Responding)", every time you start AE? If you look in process viewer it shows up.

Fade-off with MSI T-128 (nVidia geForce FX 5200) PCI card

Hi
I'm totally fade-off with nVidia GeForce FX 5200 (MSI -T128) graphics PCI card. I've tried all options found on different forums and also with latest driver for the card both from MSI and nVidia. But non of these are able to solve my problem.
Even though, I have installed the latest driver for the card form nVidia or MSI, my system gives BSOD (infinite loop) on XP and system hang on Ubuntu/Linux. Request you to please help me out for this problem. Its dam sure something wrong in the card driver or BIOS settings as its occurring with any OS.
This is my last ray of hope, with a expection that some MSI people will help me out, else I'll have to throw the f**king card to bin. Sorry being unprofessional, but it seems that I have wasted my money banking on the brand MSI/nVidia.
PC Configuration:
1. Asus K8N motherboard (nVidia chipset, NO on-board graphics)
2. MSI T-128 (nVidia GeForce FX 5200) PCI graphics card
3. Windows XP SP3/ Ubuntu 9.04
4. 512 MB DDR1 RAM
5. 320GB, 7200 rpm Seagate ATA HDD
6. AMD Athlon XP 2800+
Again request the nVidia people plz plz plz .. help me.
Note that, When I'm booting with safe mode in XP, the PC DOES NOT hangs.
Thank you in advance.

Its followed by "Sorry being unprofessional". But when my hard earning money draining, its obvious. Anyway, Do you have answer to my request ? Or only guiding me for proper language ? If you have ans plz give me too.

Pro Tools is curretnly not compatible with Maverick. Also, I believe that Pro Tools 10 only allows 4GB ram to be utilized (not sure )
I know Pro Tools 11 allows more, but not sure how much more. Also not sure if the upgrade to Pro Tools 11 I will have to purchase all new plug ins or if my existing ones will continue to work in it.
The platform changes from 32 bit to 64 with the upgrade to 11
If it is as simple as adding more ram, what mode-part #l would you recomeend. Can the processor be upgraded also ?
The new tube like Macs are non compatible with UAD Cards. Those cards a must my sessions

You can use Activity Monitor to check if apps run as 32 or 64 bit - simply look at the "Kind" column (you may need to select it under View -> Columns) and see if the app in question is listed as "Intel" i.e. 32 bit or as "Intel (64 bit)".
While in Activity Monitor you can also check if Pro Tools is close to the 3-4 GB limit of a 32 bit app - if you aren't you will probably not benefit from more RAM.
Your MacPro (it appears to be a Early 2009 model) should have come with a small booklet showing how to install RAM and what kind of RAM that you need. Any RAM that fulfills the requirements should work but your safest choice is probably to buy from a retailer/online store that supports Macs as they will usually know what kind of RAM you need for your mac model.
Upgrading the CPUs should be possible, but I haven't seen Apple document how to do this, so you will probably have to google around a bit to find instructions and CPU part numbers.
Your choice of CPUs will also be limited by the motherboard and CPU socket so you may be limited to faster version of your current CPU chip and some slightly newer versions.
Going from your current CPU to the fastest version included in the 2009 MacPros would be going from 2.26 GHz to 2.93 GHz. This would only give a modest 30% speed boost. Using newer and highly clocked CPUs might boost this somewhat more maybe to 50% ?
