MSI P55 Fuzion + SLI GTX 280

Hello , can someone tell to me , if it's possible to built a Sli on the p55 Fuzion , and how do do this ?

All P55 based boards principially support SLI & crossfire configuration.
Appart from that, he seems to be trying to run two 280GTX cards in a dual GPU configuration via the Lucid chip which supports dual ATI+ATI, NVIDIA+NVIDIA, NVIDIA + ATI and ATI + NVIDIA configurations. It is not SLI in the strict sense but the effect will be the same. The whole point of the Lucid Solution is to be able to run almost all kinds of Dual-GPU setups:

MSI P55 GD65 SLI Problem

Hi I am running 2 x gtx460 in sli mode, looking at the mobo specs the link width should be x8 x8. However using both gpuz and pc wizard 2010, they showed that the cards are running at x8 and x4. Are there any settings to change?
Cheers!

Okay,

What happens @stock clock speeds? For testing purposes: Please unplug your PSU from A/C power and >>Clear CMOS<<, then load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS Setup and set the memory clock speed to DDR3-1333.
Any change regarding the lane assignment?

SLI problem, MSI gtx 280 super oc

I decided to get another gpu for my rig, the other being gigabyte gtx 280, and once I got the system running, it has been crashing usually always after a cold start (computed being shutdown for more than half an hour). By crashing I mean screen freeze. I have to shut the computer down and take the power off from the PSU. That fixes it untill I shut the computer down again for more than 30 minutes. I have tested both cards independently with OCCT, got no errors from memory and ran the gpu test for 1 hour straight and the temps stayed at 85C and no errors. RMA time or what could be the cause of the problem? Haven't had any such crashes when I was running a single gpu setting. Done clean install on graphics drivers, used driver sweeper etc. using the newest nvidia drivers. Had the same problem with every driver I have tried.

cpu: AMD phenom x4 9950 BE @ 3ghz

well I can test the msi card again, but psu shouldnt be an issue, its a 1000w psu, is there any way to test if the pci-e slot is faulty?
Quote
well I can test the msi card again,
Test it again alone, leave it full test.
Check ventilation system inside PC case and ensure that there is a good airflow.
Leave side door of the PC case open and add extra FAN to blow up directly to the VGA's.
Then re-test

See if you can place the second VGA in another pci-e slot instead, say 1st and 3th instead 1st and 2nd.
This also may help reducing heating

MOVED: SLI won't stay available on MSI Eclipse SLI mobo with 2 EVGA GTX 280s

This topic has been moved to Intel Core I7 boards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=122254.0

I have 2 GTX 280 running in SLI with the new driver 182.06 vista 64 bit and everything works just fine.
First remove the physx software , than the nvidia driver with ad / remove programs in the configuration panel.
Restart you PC than install the new driver (182.06 vista 64 bit) and the new physx software (9.09.0203) is automatically installed with the driver. This is how i did it.
I use evga precision 1.4 tool for my GPU's and GPU-Z and there it is confirmed that sli is working as well in the nvidia controll panel.
My motherboard driver is 1.4B3.
CPU = i940 at 4083MHZ 177.6x23
Mem= 12GB Corsair XMS3 1333 at 1420MHZ.
PCI fix at 37.3.

Gtx 280 sli temperature

I have just bought 2 gtx 280 graphic cards. I instaled the cd drives from the msi cd but in my nvidia panel there is no physix and sli option. When i installed the latest driver osd vivid and all other programs disapeard.Any suggestions? I want the latest drivers with the osd vivid and other application. Also is there any program to ajust the fan speed or it is automated by the graphic card? My temperatures playing games reach 70 degrees and more.Do i have (and with what) to adjust the fun speed or that is beeing automated from the graphic card byself?
Sorry for my poor English
Thanx in advance for your answers.

Temperatures around 90°C at load would be still fine. Anything less than 100°C is ok. GTX280 are running awfully hot, so what you got is normal.
Riva Tuner would be good for fan control but don't lower fan speed too much. GTX280 are very noisy but they need high fan speeds in 3d.
OSD vivid? I guess your talking of the features of the MSI drivers. Those are MSI modified nvidia drivers to include such tools. None the less those aren't that up-to-date as the nvidia drivers. So you will most likely don't get the latest driver plus MSI features. If I were you with a quite new vga like GTX280 which requires newest drivers I'd rather go for the latest nvidia driver. Latest MSI driver with Star OSD and so on is 177.42 which is waayyy to old. Many fixes and performance increases for GT200 series came with 18x.xx drivers. Best would be going for nvidia 181.22.
First uninstall all currently installed nvidia drivers (also means the MSi ones) and then install 181.22 and SLi option should appear.

Upgrading MSI gt 72 with GTX 980m SLI

Hello,
I bought MSI GT72 Dominator-216(GTX 970m 6GB), can I upgrade my laptop with GTX 980m SLI. Is it possible. What is the max update I can apply on my laptop graphics.
Thank you in advance.

Quote from: Victoria's Secret on 06-May-15, 16:28:37
The vga is welded on motherboard. You had better contact service center for help .
This is horribly incorrect misinformation, the vga of the gt72 laptop is mxm modular so it can be upgraded, however this laptop is not capable of sli as the laptop is not physically designed to hold two graphics cards. The gt80 is the laptop that has the 980m/970m sli already.

Buzzing sound coming from MSI GTX 280

Hi guys,
I purchased a new PC with a MSI GTX 280 OC and I got a buzzing sound coming from the case.
I get the buzzing sound changing frequencies with certain 3D applications (games), windows vista screensavers, windows aero... i also hear when when resize/minimize/maximize the windows.
I thought it was PSU related, as it was the gfx card pulling power, but I've tried a Corsair HX620W and a Antec TruePower 1000W and I still got the buzzing sound with both the PSU's.
It seems originating from the MSI GTX 280.
Is anyone familiar with this problem or what can be done?
Also, for some awkward reason, I can't update my videocard drivers eithers. The installer holds at 50% and just holds without progressing. (I tried the official nvidia drivers and the ones on the MSI website). Same problem when manually installing the drivers.
For what it's worth, the retail box was also quite damaged.
Do I have a faulty card?
or is a bad combination with the rest of my system?
My system:
CPU : Intel E8600 (2x 3.33 GHz)
RAM : 4 GB Corsair
GFX : MSI GTX 280 OC
MOBO : Asus P5Q-E
PSU : Corsair HX620W
OS : Vista x64 Home Premium SP1

Its a known fact that some GTX260/280, all brands, not just MSI, hum or buzz under load.
This is due to certain electrical components on the pcb.
Maybe you can RMA it, if you have a nice shop where you bought it and if your lucky the new one doesnt produce that sound, but no garantuees.
Some hardcore tweakers will open up the plastic case and put a few drops of superglue on the copper windings and that will solve it.
Its no more then reasonating copperwindings under load.

MSI P55 BD80 wont boot stays of "FF" [SOLVED]

Just bought a new system
Specs:
MSI P55 GD80 motherboard (brand new)
Nvidia GTX 280 (from an old build)
Intel Core i5 750 Quad Core Processor Lynnfield LGA1156 2.66GHZ (Brand new)
G.SKILL F3-12800CL7D-4GBRH Ripjaws PC3-12800 4GB 2X2GB DDR3-1600 CL7-7-7-24 Core I5 Memory Kit (brand new)
OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W ATX 20/24PIN PSU (brand new)
500 gig Western Digital Harddrive.
So my problem is everything spins up fine, the lights come on, but the error screen stays at FF. I've tried reseating the CPU, swapping ram sticks, tried every single ram slot to no avail. Any suggestions?

Did you check the grounding fingers/tabs on the I/O plate to see if the problem might be a short there? If it works okay outside the case I would suspect a problem there if the MB mounting standoffs are all in their proper places lined up with MB screw holes.

P55 GD85 SLI Trouble..

P55 GD85 SLI Trouble..
Just got a new MSI GD85 with hopes to SLI, but having trouble trying to setup 2x Nvidia 9800 GT cards. Both are xfx similar style, one is xxx (core clocked 675 vs the other stock clock at 600 mhz). Nvidia's forums note the different clocks shouldn't be an issue, since their current drivers support asynchronous clocks, have tried reversing the order of the cards (slower card up top, vice versa) same issues:
The cards are recognized and seem to start up ok, recognized as SLI and enable..and seem to functional ok, but all applications and games run 5-10% slower.
Take out the second card and I'm back at normal speeds. Tried both cards alone, both function extremely similar.
MSI's website doesn't show info re: win7x64 bit testing and doesn't use these specific cards in their testing. Any ideas? Any help much appreciated.

I think its working now - not sure if it was the different nvidia driver or not because I also did the chipset drivers from intel and rebooted same time. At any rate, with a single card i am getting 21809 3DMarks (05) and 26998 in SLI. A definte improvement, but not really the numbers I was looking for.
All things considered I decided to order a MSI gtx285 today off newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16814127428 rather then purchase a 2nd GT9800.
If you look at the design of the MSI PCIe card, you kinda forget about the perfomance advantages, the card is just too damn dreamy to the eye.

3dmarks05 is a older one and resolution isn't higher, the SLI won't be feel much there.
However the score difference with/without SLI [21809 3DMarks (05) and 26998 in SLI], shows that SLI is working properly.

GTX 280 - Crashes and RMA - Theories on my life.

I have a MSI GTX 280 OC purchased in July 08. This is the proverbial third year of warranty where its not so sweet anymore. Recently everytime i start a game, couple of minutes later my screen shows me a multi-colored mosaic and crashes on that screen. The only way to resolve this is pushing the hard off button and restarting.
I tried re-installing drivers, reloading the OS, reloading the OS on a different hard drive. No luck. Then i put my card into another computer, and that one crashed too in the same way. I put my spare card in my original machine and games work (no longer pretty though). That pretty much concludes the investigation that it is the card that is bad.
I have opened an RMA request and am currently waiting for an RMA number. I just want to know how badly I am screwed. Also has anyone had this problem before and what do you think I am going to get? A big fat bill which would be better off getting a new card, or a replacement card, or a newer refurb. Just want to know where I am headed.
Thanks in advance for your responses.

Check VGA cooling system
The fan on the 280 runs without issue.
The card idles at about 40-45'C and when I game it goes to 65-70'C. It has always done this. I had run some extended temperature tests a few months ago and it was the same temperature then and now.
I also checked the power outs on the PSU. The spare PC I tested with has a 1000W PSU and a GTX 470 running right now, the 470 also ran fine in my pc. so ive ruled out the PSU.

GTX 280 SuperOC HELP!

Hi, I need help with my GTX 280 SuperOC.
I've just bought it from Ebay. After about 1 min playing game shuts my system automatically down. I try tu put the Core Clock from 700 to 650Mhz, but it does not help. Then I try Kombustor, but right after I click on the "start" button of Kombustor, my system shuts down. Afterburner always says that the temp is at 58-62C
I have read a few threads here, but it does not help. And I dont have any experience on overclocking.
My PC Specs:
Asus P5N32 SLI SE Deluxe
Intel Core2 Duo E6400
Power 550W
4Gb DDR2 RAM
Windows 7 32bit
Thank you for any answer.

12V Max. Current: 24A That is not enough, for a system with a 280 GTX you should have a PSU with +12V~40A you need a better PSU. You can not go by the watts as a good PSU will have much higher +12V amps than a cheap one with equal watt rating. Example yours +12V~24A, Corsair VX550W +12V~41A = 17 amps higher.
I recommend you get a Corsair VX550W +12V~41A or TX650W +12V~52A Keep trying to use the one you have and it could go up in fire and smoke and maybe burn other parts in your PC.

Msi P55 GD 65 boots 3 times even on stock settings, CMOS ISSUE

Hi guys, new member here. Very fond of msi due to its informative reviews and let's not forget that most of my pc's troubleshooting sequences have benefited by reading through several threads posted on this site. However, i am having some trouble with my msi P55-GD 65 MAINBOARD. It keeps giving me the CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR. Msi's boards have this annoying habit of booting 3 times consecutively every time i make changes in BIOS (overclocking). However, now even on stock settings, it has started to boot 3 times which is very frustrating, every time. I have tried:
1: The jumper trick
2: The battery removal trick
3: loading optimized defaults over and over again
4: Replaced it with a new battery
It still posts 3 times, as stated in the manual, so if u guys have any suggestions, they will be highly appreciated
Specs:
I5 750 (at stock, all voltages at stock)
MSI P55 GD65
4GB corsair vengeance at stock as well (1600mhz stock but 1333mhz atm due to this issue)
evga gtx 570 SC (at stock VID and clocks)
Silent pro M 850W CM
WD green 1tb
Plz help me out guys
And yes i have updated my bios using msi live update to v1.11 it still gives me the same issue........plz help me out guys.

When in the BIOS, simply enter the Overclocking Profile Section and change 'OC Retry Count' setting to 1.

As a side note, your RAM may be 'rated' 1600, but that is not 'stock' for the platform, DDR3 1333 is. Increasing the DRAM V. as Bernhard has suggested may help a lot. For attempts for the 'rated' 1600 RAM speed, if the chips have X.M.P. profiles, set the timings and command rate accordingly to the manufacturer's recommended settings. CPUID's utility CPU-Z Memory and SPD Tab's come in handy. Also, if your mainboard BIOS has it, Memory-Z Section can be looked in for information too.

MSI NF980-65 SLI performance issues

Hello,
I have performance issues with the MSI NF980-65 with AMD Phenom II x6 in SLI and QUAD SLI mode.
I have a pair of Geforce 9800 GX2 and Geforce GTX 295. I install the Geforce 9800 GX2, install Nvidia drivers 258.6 for windows vista 32-bit. Restart, run 3dmark and I get a score.
I shut down, install the second Geforce 9800 GX2. Windows Vista installs drivers. I restart. Nvidia control center notifies me that the cards can run better in SLI. I click and follow instructions to enable quad SLI. I run 3dmark 2006 1.0.2. I do not see any performance gain.
I uninstall all both cards. Repeat the same procedure for the Geforce GTX 295. Again. No performance gain. The 295 is not much better than the 9800.
What am I doing wrong? Do these cards suck?
What is worse is that the performance gain of SLI is marginal as opposed to the cost.
Compare the cost of one Geforce 9800 GX2 or Geforce GTX 295 vs Quad SLI of both cards.
This performance is just not worth the cost.
Geforce 9600 GSO (Nvidia Vista drivers 258.96 32bit) ( X4 965 )
Geforce 9800 GX2 (Nvidia Vista drivers 258.96 32bit) ( X4 965 )
Geforce 9800 GX2 Quad Sli (Nvidia Vista drivers 258.96 32bit) ( X6 1090T / MSI NF980-65)
Geforce GTX 295 Quad Sli (Nvidia Vista drivers 258.96 32bit) ( X6 1090T / MSI NF980-65)
When it comes to Computer digital content creation, I cannot believe that the 9800 GX2 performs the same as the GTX 295. Both render a preset picture in about the same amount of time. (Rendering the same picture with 826 objects, 13,932 polygons, 2 light sources, anti-aliasing for objects & textures, 1600x1200:
X6 1090T / MSI NF980-65
Geforce 9600 GSO - 9 mins
Geforce 9800 gx2 - 9 mins
Geforce GTX 295 - 9 mins
This baffles me because I do not know what is the need for SLI or quad SLI? Why buy the latest and greatest if the performance is marginal?
Does any one have similar performance issues with the same or similar hardware?

OK.....
#1: The 9800GX2's should NOT be using the 256.xx+ series drivers... stick with 197.xx or less for better performance...(I like the 191.xx series for benching)
#2: SLI performance is based on resolution....if not CPU limited....
#3: 3dMark 06' is CPU biased and you will not notice a diff. w/ SLI enabled unless you increase cpu speed. Vantage is a bit better and is more geared toward the GPU. Use benchmarks by Ungine
or "built-in" game demo/benchmarks.
#4: Chambus...remove the middle slot GPU... it lowers the performance of the SLI'd gpu's...remember only the top and bottom pci-e slots are 16x, but only if there is nothing installed in the center slot, at which case only the top gpu will run at 16x all others perform at 8x. Another thing to keep in mind..... the more GPU's installed the higher the CPU will have to be clocked...Over at nvidia we usually recommend a range of 3.4-3.6Ghz (quad-thread)CPU clock speed for 2-way SLI of the 9800 series- 200 series GPUs...at a minimum. The scale shows us to add ~250mhz per GPU after that (even if the GPU is just used for dedicated physX). Of course with the new FERMI GPUs that scale increases significantly. This is called the "bottle-neck" effect and seems to occur more so with nvidia GPUs than ATI/AMD GPUs of the same caliber.
Go into the NVCP (Nvidia Control Panel) and enable the "SLI Indicator" run a game benchmark of your choice and keep an eye on the indicator. If the indicator frequently drops below 50%...you have a CPU bottle-neck.. if it stays @ the 70%+ at all times than you are GPU limited (which is were you want to be).
