MSI NX6600 AGP Card & MSI 7008, VIA PT880 Motherboard Compatible?

Hello all!
Need a little help today.
I have a MSI NX6600 AGP Card & MSI 7008, VIA PT880 Motherboard that are giving me some headaches.If I try any NVIDIA driver above version 71.25 the graphics (2d and 3d) are very badly distorted. The desktop screen is unreadable and any software I try to run looks warped and garbled. I am using an Antec case with a 350w Antec PSU. Both the motherboard and video card are from MSI. This is the second video card I try, I RMA'd the first one. If I use an older AGP card (Ti4200) all graphics display perfectly. Is there something I can do to fix the problem? Is there a compatibility problem between the VIA chip and the NVIDIA 6600 chip?
I'd appreciate a push in the right direction!
Thanks!

Hi!
There seems to be some problems with certain setups, see: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=3612
I had these 2d-issues with 6600GT and RMA'd the card, hope I'll get newer revision... none of the fixes helped.

8X AGP Card (FX5700) on KM2M Combo Motherboard (VIA KM266 Chipset)?

I have got a MSI KM2M Combo with a VIA KM266 Chipset based motherboard [Model No: MS-6738 (v1.X) Micro ATX Mainboard].
What is the voltage of the AGP 2.0 slot in the above mentioned motherboard?
Can I run an 8X Agp card (Nvidea GeForce FX5700) without any problem?

This is not enough PSU for that VGA card

Frontech 300 Watts SMPS (3.3V 14A; 5V 30A; 12V 12A)
Needs to have at least 25A @ 3.3V, and over 18A @ 12V to be on the safe side.
Otherwise, there should be no problems running that VGA card.

Suitable AGP cards

Hi
Can anyone recomment an AGP card that works with my motherboard ?
I need one with a DVI port.
(I've tried the ATI 8500 AIW 64MB card, which would seem to qualify (4xAGP). But although it fits in the slot and the fan goes round, doesn't produce a signal that the monitor can detect.
The plastic retainer on the AGP card is slightly impeded by a small capacitor on the card, which may or may not be causing the problem.
Thanks for any feedback.

Hi,
First off......I have a 550W PSU, but if you look at some of the other "sigs".....It's down too the amps on the rails.....my psu is below what it should be to run this system!!!! I just hope it holds until I can afford a good amps per rail one!!!
It's the +3.3v +5V and +12V rails that are important......
The clip at the end is a retainer clip, as there used to be a problem with AGP cards "popping" out at that end.......and thus make the system NO boot!! If the card is seated properly you not see any of the "gold" connections from the slot.... The last 3 MSI mainbaords I have/had have this clip and has caused no problems.......
Here is a link were you might find further info on your MSI board....there are several 845Pro's there.....

First of all im asking because some ppl told me that it even does make diferences with motherboards for AGP Video cards.
Now i have ATi Radeon 9600 Pro (128 mb) and i want to putt just a bit more ( like 512 mb or so ) but i dont know which one shall i buy or what goes in my computer
here are specifications :

It depends what AGP cards you can still find available. What online stores are you able to buy from where you are?
We can only recommend MSI products on this forum by the way.
Make sure your power supply has enough amps on the +12v rail/s whatever card you choose - https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=104805.0

Overclocking my PT880 got best results with a PCI video card instead of a AGP card. Why?

Hi guys,
I posted a complete review of my PT880 OC experience at the "Overclocking section of the forum: thread post PT880 OC results" : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=48006&sid=&threadview=0&hilight=&hilightuser=0&page=2
Some days of test with my new PT880 board and I was able to run my P4 (B?) 2.4Ghz at 18 x 154 = 2772 Mhz. I got this speed using a cheap PCI card XFX GeForce 4 MX440, from my old P3 computer. I also got system to work with higher FSBs, but with some unstable sound board issues that I related on the link above.
This week I decided to change the card to another same cheap XFX GeForce 4 MX440, but now a AGP 8x version. My surprise is that the system started to hang with just 20~30 seconds of use. Setting the front side bus to 133 helped to fix the stability issue. Playing a bit more I could OC using a 144 FSB, getting a final speed of 2592. Trying higher FSBs results in a unstable system again.
This makes me wondering if the AGP/PCI is really locked. Using 144 FSB, it is supposed that an unlocked AGP port will be running at 72 Mhz, what is the limit for some AGP cards... My BIOS setup is using the AGP clock option at the default of 66Mhz. Is it really working at this speed?
If the AGP/PCI bus speed is really locked in this VIA PT880 MSI motherboard, why this difference in OC results when I change from a PCI to an AGP card (same manufacturer, same nvidia chipset) ? Will be the northbridge more occupied now?
My PC setup now:
- MSI PT880 LSR with Bios upgraded to 1.4
- Pentium 4(B? 533Mhz) 2.4Ghz
- 512Mb DDR PC3200 NonECC ADATA Memory (just one module, so just single channel)
- XFX GeForce4 MX440 AGP8x
- Seagate 120Gb 7200RPM ATA100
- Seagate 80Gb 7200RPM ATA100
- Prolink PlayTV HD (conexant cx88)
- Sound Blaster Live! 4.1
- LG DVD-RW 4040b
- 450W generic PSU
That's all for now

Your AGP bus uses more bandwith than the PCI bus, thus making the OC more dependend from the AGP bus. And if your AGP slot will drain more CPU power and fragile as AGP can be, it will not tolerate errors due higher clock speeds. Mhz += Stability -. Notice: PCI is 33 Mhz/ AGP is 66/133 Mhz... . As you see there is less margin for errors. While you overclock the CPU will make tolerable errors: NP with PCI... But AGP... will take it to the MAX. [I hope this reply is No nonsense]

Pushing out MSI's via GPO for Windows 8.1

I'm having an issue trying to push Flash Player 13 MSI via GPO to Windows 8.1 machine. It pushes out fine to windows XP pro and windows 7 pro. I know the GPO works, just not for 8.1. I've don't gpupdate /force and still nothing.
Has anyone else had any issues with this? Is there something I'm missing for 8.1 MSI deployment via GPO?
THANKS!

[Solved] h.264 hardware decoding on an AGP card in Linux?

It's harder for those of us with older hardware because all the new recommendations are useless to us. Especially when you use Linux as it seems everything is talking about directX and Vista or Windows 7 which mean nothing to me.
AGP 8x
will be doing h.264 decoding and occasional editing
1920 x 1080 resolution LCD (dvi or hdmi)
dual head would be a plus for later but not vital.
Not a gamer at all.
Needs to work well with Linux, of course.
I'm running on an old P4 3.0 Ghz so if I can get the encoding/decoding offloaded (especially for flash) on to the GPU this would be a huge help.
Price < $70 on Amazon or Newegg (possibly more if it's really worth it)
I've been looking at a Radeon 2400 Pro 512MB Agp on Amazon but wanted to see if anyone had a better suggestion before I pull the trigger so to speak.

Someone asked me for an update via email so I just realized that I forgot to post as I promised. It's working out pretty good. I can play 1080p h264 movies using mplayer with only about 10-30% use of my 3.0 P4 HT CPU using VDPAU. I wasn't able to get it (x.264 GPU decoding) to work with vlc or the system ffmpeg though. At least when I set this up many months ago. So if anyone is just looking to be able to play 1080p h264 videos I definitely would give a VDPAU capable PCI card a shot if you have no other viable choices for your old hardware. Using mplayer with VDPAU properly configured I don't experience any stuttering at all on my old hardware, believe it or not.

I got a serious problem whit my agp card or my mobo plz help.

Ok this is the problem.. my agp card runs in pci mode i got a gfTI4800SE and my mobo is a kt6Delta all msi.
here is the tricky part in the bios i cant change the rate of the agp port. and no opengl games or movies will open , computer gets stuck..

raz0r,
First load the latest VIA 4in1 Drivers
Then load the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers
Take Care,
Richard
P.S. 99.9% of the time updating the Vid Card's BIOS is not needed, it is not a Mobo that needs multiple revisions. The first BIOS with Vid Cards usually gets everything right.

AGP cards not working

Hi.. and hope someone can help me with this.
I’ve read about a lot of info about problems with AGP ports on MSI boards but still cannot get a clue about my particular problem.
My specs:
AMD XP 2.400
MBO:MSI KT4V (MS-6712 ver 10A)
RAM: 256MB
Case: 400W
OS: Win2K SP3
My problem: Cannot use video cards in the AGP port. System still can boot and go into safe mode, but in normal mode Windows can barely make it after the logon screen. The system suddenly goes to a kind of standby mode (power button does not work), all energy activity seems to stop (fans too), and I have to unplug and plug the energy cord to be able boot again.
My tries:
1) Using a PCI video cards has no problem. Works perfect.
2) I’ve used 2 different AGP cards, booth with exactly the same problem: PCChips ATI 9200LE 8x and Nvidia MX440 8x. Suppose I can asume the cards are not the problem. They are new ones.
3) Used MSI Live Update 3 to update BIOS. It was succesfully updated, but problem remains.
4) Used MSI Live Update 3 to update Board drivers (even the AGP one). It was succesfully updated, but problem remains.
5) Modify some BIOS parameters like Fastwrite to Disable, AGP voltage to 1.7, but problem remains.
Thanks on any advice.

You mean I suppose not the voltage, but the ampères? And sorry, been at birthday party so I couldn't give immediate respons. The troubleshooting guide suggests these:
3.3V - 28A or better
5V - 30A or better
12V - 18A or better
And perhaps you can learn from this nice guide, below. Good luck!
"don't worry about agp 8x - i does not offer any significant speed increase. what you are describing seems to me to be related to the ati video card (that's what is experiencing the vpu error). steps 4 through 7 below might be all you need to do. give it a try.
start with flashing the latest mobo bios before you start if you haven't allready. I recommend stick with the 3.7 Cat driver (many people are reporting worse problems with the later rev Cat drivers) and follow these directions:
1) download and install the latest via driver (i know, you have it)
2) download and install latest soundblaster driver (if you are using a soundblaster audio card of course)
3) download and install catalyst 3.7 driver/control panel/samartgart from ati.
4) disable fast-write in bios (this was causing corrupted icons and cursor in windoze).
5) start-run and type in smartgart then enter
6) enable - pci read/write and agp read (probably allready is enabled).
7) disable - agp write (default in my case was on causing lots of stability problems in games).
"apply", reboot, then "ok".

What is the limit on an AGP card?

Hi there
I have an MSI MEGA 865....it works brilliantly! I love this little thing.
My Sig below has my specs...
Im currently getting very low temps on both my system and cpu..both in the high 30's under load and the low 30's when idle.
Im wondering whats the upper limit of an AGP graphics card which i can put in there?
I have heard that a Geforce FX 6800 needs a very powerful power supply, like around 350-450Watts...so assuming this is true the 250Watt power supply which comes with the MSI MEGA 865 would not be enough to power it....
I have contacted the MSI tech support and they advised against getting the Geforce FX 6800...and suggested the Geforce FX 5700 or lower.
Im wondering if any1 here has a high powered geforce FX card in their MSI MEGA 865's...and could let me know how far i can go....i really want to do more than just watch movies on this thing...and want the best geforce FX i can get.
Any suggestions out there?

I use PNY card. Their earlier release of 5200 was with a heat sink. Now they all come with a fan. And mine that I bought back in May has a different fan from the other one that I bought just a week ago for my other WKS. The latest seems to be a better one in terms of construction but also appears to be by 1 or 2 mm thicker (can't say for sure as I haven't tried to swap them.
Also, AFAIK, the 5700 card line requires a separate power connection to the card off a PSU.

I use the software that came with my DVB-T card, called FusionHDTV
Don't know that one -- but one thing I sure -- if you getting HDTV off it -- your CPU util will be high -- and as a result lots of heat and fan activity to cool your system.
My personal opinion after a few months time playing with mega as an HTPC -- I'd get a different case. I really like the simplicity (and the price as well of the Antec Aria case But that is only my oppinion, and I could be wrong

Why half size AGP card with Prescott CPU?

I have a P4 2.8Ghz Prescott and a Mega 865 Deluxe. The system should be able to support this cpu (with the 1.2 BIOS); see website http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/slim_pc/slm/pro_slm_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=547&kind=4
However, this website mentions that it only works with a "Half-Size AGP card only". Why is this?
Does it mean that a Prescott CPU won't work with the onboard video?
Or.. is the half size (or low profile) AGP card recommended because of cooling improvement.
Thanks in advance for any help!
(I am wondering if it will be necessary to buy an extra AGP card; and which one)

Please search the forum before aksing questions, since this has been asked, and answered before ....
(always wanted to say that)
Anyway, to spare you the search
With full and half size AGP cards they mean physical height of the AGP card, you can buy a full size or half sized one.
Officially MSI does not support full sized AGP cards, and it is suspected to be a power issue. Most of the high end full size cards these days have one (or two) extra power connectors (molex), and thus require a lot of juice (power). And you only have 250 Watts available.
The prescott has no problem with the onboard graphics adapter what so ever, the statement on their website is just about add-in AGP cards.
You can search around this forum, for configurations that other users use. So that you can get a feel of what will work. I for one can tell you a Radeon 9800 Pro will probably work. It will also be a bit of a hassle to get it in, but it does fit .... Also be warned that if you need a PCI card in there next to the AGP one, you are in for a challenge.
Btw, It is a bit unclear to me if you have or have not not bought your system yet, but the prescott 3.0 Ghz and 3.2 will also work, and these do also not show up on their website as being supported.
HTH,

Second agp-card on 6373 ?

Hallo,
Is it possible to activate a second agp-card while not disabling the on-board graphic-card ?
I´m using windows xp and i tried with a pci-card and it worked fine. But the pci-card is very slow so I tried using an agp-card, but now the on-board card is not working anymore...

Nico4711,
There are several ways you could go.
nVidia, Matrox and ATI all have dual Vid AGP Cards. You could also go with a GeForce2 MX PCI or an ATI PCI in combination with the onboard video.
Take a look at the Video Card options at:
New Egg
They show details about the cards they sell and have pictures. Look at the AGP cards with dual heads (Matrox, Gainward, ASUS, and MSI) for ideas. Also look at the PCI cards to see what you could add in along with the onboard.
If you get a PCI GeForce2 MX card it will match nicely with the power of the onboard video and cost you in the $50.00 range.
After you look over the options, feel free to come back with any questions.
Take Care,
Richard

Does 8x AGP card compatible with 4x mainboard?

Hi,
I have a MSI 845PE Max 4x AGP mainboard and a Xelo G4 Ti4200 128MB DDR 8X card. Can the system run without giving problem when playing newer game. Does the mobo have enough power to handle 8X AGP card for playing game. My system hang whenever I player newer games.

It allows the Vidio card to use more of the Main (System) Memory if the Onboard Vidio Card Memory becomes loaded from storing future frame information From a game that you have in play..If you have 128 MB of Vidio Card Memory the chances of having to go to the Main memory are slim, but as the next generation Games start hitting the Stores even 128 will not be enough, thats why the top Cards have 256 MB of onboard Vidio RAM...But by upping the AGP aperture, you are not losing any of your ram (It's not being shared like with onboard Graphics Chip). ......Sean REILLY875

AGP Card Voltage?

I have a new motherboard (MSI KT4AV) for Athlon Xp cpu,
the manual says it only uses agp cards with 1.5 volts. Now
can I use my Geforce4 MX 440 T8X card on this mainboard?
Does mx 440 uses 1.5v? what will happen if I use agp cards
with higher voltage? and can somebody give me some list
of agp cards ( MSI or ATI cards) with 1.5 volts. Thanks!!!

circusflea,
All 8x Vid Cards work with all 8x and 4x Mobos. All 8x Mobos work with all 8x and 4x Vid Cards.
Take Care,
Richard
P.S. cgrossi the 4X Vid Cards use 1.5v (and can do 3.3v), the 8X Vid Cards do 0.8v (and can do 1.5v).

Any performance difference between these two 6600gt agp cards?

Is there any performance or spec differences between the two 6600GT AGP cards: NX6600GT-VTD128 and NX6600GT-VTD128SP ?
Only difference I see is one comes with Riddick and one with XIII. If there's no difference, which game is better? :p
Also are there any big known bugs with this card? I'm currently running an AMD XP2800 on a MSI K7N2 mobo.

Pipo,
The difference is in the Memory Speed. 900Mhz vs 1000Mhz on the SP.
Take Care,
Richard
