MSI NX6800GT 256 Problems

Hey guys,
I recently purchased this card and I had alot of trouble with it power wise, after reading these forums I found out many others did as well so I returned it and got a new one, this one does not have any power problems however when I turn my pc on all it shows are colors that flicker and change evey now and then in the form of little boxes spread over the screen, am I doing something wrong, what should I do....ty for any help.

Well the place that I purchased it from tried that card and said that they where able to use it and play a game on it, I wasnt there to see it tho.
I just took it out of the box and put it in the agp slot, I tried just plugging that in, and then other things but I always get those little boxes of colors. I saw something similar to this in the NX6800GT 128 card forum, maybe this is the same problem?
*edit* I also just read that it could be due to the monitor not being able to handle the card...? Im using an Optiquest Q71 right now.

MSI NX6800GT - Problems running 2 cards inSLi

Tagan 480W
Asus A8N-SLi-Deluxe
AMD Athlon 64 3500+
2 GB Corsair PC3200
2 x MSI NX6800GT-T2D256E gfx cards
2 x 160GB Seagate Barracuda SATA
Sony 16X DVD RW
Sony CD RW
19" Sony TFT SDM-HS94P
Win 2k SP4
lo,
Well the above is my brand new setup - if it would just work :p
The basic problem is that I can run either of the cards perfectly fine on their own with the other one disabled/removed but when I try to run them together I never get passed the Win2k graphical boot screen....instead of the 'logon' screen appearing, I get a monitor message that the 'signal is out of range' and I get a bright white screen and nothing else :((
So far, I've tried:
- Differing drivers from the out of the box ones to the latest from msi and nvidias website
- Different monitor (CRT) which still exhibits the white screen phenenoma with 2 cards in Sli
- Checked the m/b BIOS and as far as I can see have all the correct SLi settings selected..
- Tried to use 'RefreshForce' utility to set the frequency at 60hz in the mistaken belief that might solve the 'signal out of range' problem.
- Made sure the m/b itself has the 'EZ selector card' (as they call it) correctly positioned for 'Dual Video Cards' and the Sli Connector properly attached to the 'goldfingers' on the cards...
Thought it was the new tft/lcd monitor at first but having tried with my old crt and using RefreshForce with the same results i'm beginning to doubt it...
The only thing that's odd that I can tell at the moment is that althought the 2 cards are 'identical', one of the cards has a little green led on permanently close to the power in - the other one doesnt have this light and I cant find any reference to it in documentation.....as i said earlier though, they both 'appear' to work fine individually, just when trying to get em going in Sli....
If anyones got any ideas, I'd be glad to hear them
tia

SAB,
I tried exactly what u said from a clean install with no luck :(
1) SLi card on m/b turned to 'single card'
2) DirectX 9.0(c) installed
3) Video Drivers from CD installed
4) Forceware 66.93 installed
All absolutely fine at this point, no conflicts, errors or uninstalled devices.
5) Switched off comp, turned SLi card to 'dual cards'
6) Installed second card and the SLi connector to the goldfingers
7) Checked BIOS settings for SLi
8) Plugged in "EZ-Plug" on m/b
9) restarted comp upon which win2k detects 2nd vid card and installs drivers for it.
At this point the 2nd card shows in device manager with a yellow exclamation and the comp wants to reboot to finish driver installation..
If i click 'restart later' and go into nview configs to set SLi mode, the SLi feature only says somehting like...."You have an SLi compatible card, to get the benfit of SLi please install another card"....there is no chance at this point to actually select SLi - presumably beacuse driver installation needs completing for the 2nd card??
So, now there's no choice but to restart...but when I do that, the display is fine through Boot sequence until it tries to switch from the 'graphica'l win2k loading screen (with the blue loading bar at the bottom) to the 'desktop / login' loading screen..
At that point, as always, the screen flickers and on TFT's u get a brief message saying "Signal out of Range - 96-105KHz" (i think!) before the screen just turns completely white and u cant see anything else....
After this i can only enter windows through safe or vga mode and when I do, the 2 vid cards appear to be installed perfectly.. In safe mode there's no nview or options to set SLi mode and restarting only gives the same 'signal out of range' message :(
At this stage the only way to get a visible non-white display back is to disable the 2nd gfx card in device manager whilst in safe mode and restart with just the primary card enabled :(
So, I'm still confused as to why the addition of the second card should alter the frequency(?) of the first card so as to screw the display when it works fine in single card mode..
I've tried this procedure using both cards as the 'primary' card still with the same results...frustrating!

Msi nx6800gt agp atrifact problem pls HELP!!!

hello all,
well guys need a help, a real bit starnge problem im facing, i got a MSI NX6800GT 256MB DDR3 AGP graphic card, the system boots up well no issues in the 2d mode but when i ran cod2 i faced kind of shall i say pixel sized squares appearing during gameplay the same was noticed playing f.e.a.r also, i chcked the card with riva tuner it showed the card as a proper 6800gt with 16pipelines etc i dont knw whts the problem i tried the same card in my frnds system also, he is running a gainward 6800gt golden sample we noticed the same kind of square artifacts which run all round the screen sometimes very few but i think as the game goes on its more, the card was run at stock speed of 350/1000 and the temp maintains at 62 degrees...
the system tested on had specs amd 3400+ 754 on a asus k8ne dlx mobo, with 1 gb twinmoss ram, an 500w power supply, the 3dmark2005 scroce is 4736pts, an we noticed these spots even during the benchmark....
the driver version used was 71.77 series then we used the 66 series an even msi's default series or drivers but to no avail pls do guide me on this guys it wud be really really helpful...
regards,
vicky

hey richard,
i tired tht also, infact in the very begening the new forceware drivers were used then we tried the others, actually the artifacts are not like polygons or anthying they are square sized pixels tht appear on the screen, the monitor used was a viewsonic 17'' flat screen and the res was 1024 X 768.
we saw some serious square pixels in bf2, cod2 an even fear! 3dmark05 also displayed the same, do you think its a problem with the card or the cooling, the temp of the card remains between 56-62 deg.
we dont wanna underclock te card as i think it wud void the warranty!

NX6800GT TD256 problems

hello. I purchase/bought a MSI NX6800GT TD256 and I noticed that this VGA card was made with production problems, and my 6800GT is with this problems... unfortunatelly (blue dots and my computer never initializate) - my power supply is a seventeam 400w and i was tested my card in 3 computers (same problems)
I entered in several forum and all say the same thing, MSI manufactured a wrong VGA card model during some time, with the cooler BBN (of plastic) and later modified the model placing a cooler called Cooper Ultra.
In the image, my model is the first picture and the correct model is the second.
but in the second image, besides in the site of MSI, it shows up the correct model, that is different from mine.
How should I proceed to change the model?
Thank you

It seems that since the introduction of the PCI-e version of the 6800 series... they have also started using the black-reference cooler...
Take a look at the photo of the NU pci-e in the photo...

Getting a replacement fan & heatsink module for my MSI NX6800GT (agp)

Hi all,
I got a bit of a problem, the fan on my MSI NX6800GT (agp) sounds like a dog, after removing the card and having a look, it appears that the spindle that holds the fan in place has worn out (the fan seems to drop down onto the plastic and thats what is making the noise) . Its buggered basically. Do any of you fine people know of where I can get a decent replacement fan and heatsink?
All help appreciated
John

OK, I ordered one of those nv silencers, I thought about contacting MSI like you guys said but after reading about this product I thought what the hell . . . £20 but worth it.
http://www.gladiatorcomputers.com/ProductDetail.aspx?StockCode=ACCARTREV4NVS53&Link=SearchResults
It came yesterday, so last night I installed it, fitted well, one small thing on the instructions, there is an "L" shaped metal bracket called a passive heatsink plate, now I know my **** from my elbow but could I work out where this was supposed to go? . . . NO.
Anyway it appears that I dont need this bit, why cant they just say "this bit is optional". Kinda scary fitting stuff like this when youre as green as me.
Anyway, all went well. Thank you all.
Regards
John

Concerns w/ MSI fx5600XT 256 Card

I am looking for a video card to go with my
New MSI kt6 deltaLSR mobo w/ 2500 barton chip
I have 1 GIG of samsung (512x2) PC3200 400MHz Dual Channel DDR sdram
waiting for the Mobo to arrive
I have 2 concerns about what was a soon to be purchased MSI fx5600xt 256 Video Card
1.) "Special notes for midrange graphics card buyers:
Avoid 256 MB versions and save money. 256 MB VRAM is useless with these cards and card manufacturers often use inferior memory in 256 MB cards"
Quote from Toms Hardware guide
2.) "GeForce FX5600 (non-Ultra)
Pros- DX9 support
Cons- Gets wasted by Radeons. Not good value for money
GeForce FX5600 Ultra rev1.0/2.0
Pros- DX9 support, fairly good DX8 performance (rev2.0)
Cons- Poor DX9 perforamance, Radeon 9600 Pro and faster cards are much better for both DX8 and DX9. Not good value for money
Now I know this is a MSI site and I don't want to get flamed
But i have a limited budget and can't upgrade all the time or waste money
I just want honest answers and opinions...
1.) Is the Toms hardware guide Skewed?
2.) is the 5600xt better than the Ultras?
3.) Is the 256 MB worth spending the extra money on instead of the 128mb
4.) Would the ATI cards be the better value right now for the price and time of the cards on the market

first off nvidia's "XT" models are the opposite of ATI's "XT" models. They are a lower end version and are like ati's "SE" models.
my suggestion would be to buy an old 9500NP and then softmod it to a 9700NP(which has 8 pixel pipelines compared to 4, which means better performance by nearly double). but, sometimes it doesnt work. so dont blame me if it doesnt work. u can always change it back later thought.
you can get it here(has to be this model and have the "L" shaped memory): http://store.yahoo.com/buyaib/atirad9512dd.html
and u can download the drivers for the mod here: http://www.ocfaq.com/softmod/download.php
also you might find this interesting: http://www6.tomshardware.com/graphic/20031229/index.html
good luck

Msi nx6800gt-td256(bulk)

hi
i bought MSI NX6800GT-TD256(BULK);the colour is red but in http://www.msi.com is green colour..¿what's mean?
thanks

Very true... But bulk software are often down clocked to get a cheaper price (my friend had one).

Msi Nx6800gt-td256

The MSI NX6800GT are this still reference boards of
Nvidia or that have been already updated by MSI themselves?

I think the only card that MSI has updated is the NX6800 (non ultra or GT).

MSI 6600 256 dual screen card problem with saving window locations

Hi,
We are running the dual screen setup for this card. We can't seem to find the place where you tell the video card to save windows postions. Everytime we close the app the window goes back to primary monitor location.
I know that older msi cards can save the window location. Can someone tell me how to access this feature using the msi 6600?
Thanks,
Scott

Most likely a driver bug, what drivers? And from where?
You could go to nVidia and read the PDF Documentation and manuals that come with each driver release. nVidia Drivers
Could even go here and browse the folders ftp://download1.nvidia.com/Windows/ You'll see user guides in PDF format.

MSI G4Ti-4200 problem

Hey all, hope you can help me out.
Having some major problems with installing the Ti4200 64 card on my system. My system continually crashes with it and no games or programs run for very long, freezing or just not loading, due to lack of virtual memory.
I've downloaded the latest patch for my motherboard and graphics card so its not that. Might be the psu as its only 300w so I'm looking into upgrading that. Could there be a prob with the motherboard, memory or psu. I can't afford to upgrade all of them so is there a way of finding out which one it could be.
System:
Win 98
Athlon Thunderbird 1.1
FIC AZ11 motherboard
765 crucial sdram pc133 (1 x 256 and 1 x 512)
Maxtor Plus8 IDE 40 gig Hard Drive
MSI G4 Ti4200 td-64
Creative SB Live!
Liteon dvd
300w psu

hi again,
here are the specs for my psu.
+3.3v - 15A
+5v - 35A
+12v - 10A
-5v - 0.5A
-12v - 0.5A
I've since flashed my motherboard with the latest bios, probably not the wisest thing to do in hindsight as now nothing happens at all with the msi agp card so i'm running off my pci voodoo 3 2000 now. As far as the cmos is concerned, its got all the same settings as before and now i'm totally confused. I'm guessing a new psu is the order of the day.

MSI P4N Diamond problem

I do not know what is happening!? Was writing to the Msi, i have some ID gold club number..bla bla.. :-) - no answer! D, offcourse.
When I fire up my comp, windows always cannot find a plenty of libraries = missing .dll, and after few reboots crach!!!
Updated Bios corectly, updated all drivers (know how to do!), changed memory few times, changed Gpu, Hdd, Cpu.
Reinstall OS WinXP SP2 over 100 times!!! D. Cann't belive! Madness. Whan I put Win2000 SP4 it is working fine (not normal but fine). Programs that I install are ok. I know how to configure firewall, antivirus etc.
Configuration :
Pentium 3 Ghz, 64bit, 2Mb cache
2x1 GB dual Kingston 533
6600 TD Nvidia 256 Mb
Hdd Wester D. 80 Gb (XP SP2) Sata
Hdd 200 Gb Maxtor Sata II
Power CoolMaster 650 W
Pioneer 110 DVD RW
LG DVD
Do anyone know what's happening?
Seller told me to bring motherboard in the shop, they will check is it working - switch on, switch off..."it is ok", they will say everything is working ok, they will not give a new one!

Lol, I forced to work to run on Sata I. Now my system is on Hdd W.D. at Sata I.
First .dll are from system32, then norton, then from zonealarm... Dont say do you now to configure firewall or antivirus cose i know all about firewalls settings for - programs, components, ports, conflicts etc...
Usually after 2-5 reboots cannt go into windows and safe mode, only see windows boot screen and after restart power led is always on?! But whan I install Win2000 SP4 it is ok.
Cannot install Win 64bit at all.
Now I have Mandriva (installed 2 days before)(have no drivers for Marvel and Nvidia controller), working ok.
PS: Didnt wrote all possibilites I tried! Simply i dont know whot i didnt tried!
I was suspecting at first that is Hdd, changed, puted coolers for Hdd, nothing, so I bought the other one.
Anyway I must have one more Hdd 200 Gb...but i will buy the other motherboard if i cannt solve the problem...
Thks for helping me.
If you know any other possibillity please tell me. I am going down with my nervs.

Msi ti 4200 problems

i installed a msi 4200 agp video card today and have had nothing but problems. on the first boot xp did not try to install new hardware. In the display properties it did not recognize the video adapter. i tried to intsall the drivers from the installation cd but it said it was not the right files and did not recognize the path. on the second reboot no picture after windows boots. i have a gigabyte mb ga-7vrxp and am upgrading from a pci video card. any help would be much appreciated.

Thatz Y... I won't switched to XP until it has really settle down...
lambethduke, I know where you've got things wrong and its a common mistake as I have accidentally did it myself before ... You must have direct right click on your Display adapter driver and un-install... This will cause the screen to go blank during startup whenever you wanna install the drivers again, though you may be able to see part of the windows starting up... Next time, juz un-install the driver by double clicking on the driver and inside the profile click on un-install and this problem will never exist to you anymore...
All the Best... :D!!!
