MSI Power Edition N650TI PE 1GD5/OC and D975XBX2.

Hello.
I would like to make a upgrade, but I am able to afford only replacement of the videocard.
My rig
CPU Type - QuadCore Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700
Motherboard - Intel Bad Axe 2 D975XBX2 (Bios v2618 - 02.12.2007)
RAM - Corsair Dominator CM2X1024-6400C4D (DDR2-800)
Video Adapter - XFX GeForce 8800 GTX 768 MB (I prefer Nvidia)
Power Supply - Thermaltake Toughpower 850W
OS - Windows XP 32bit (SP3)
I was interested by the MSI Power Edition N650TI PE 1GD5/OC (PCIE 3.0) card as read that videocards of a 650 series are compatible to PCIE 1.0 x16.
I would like to consult with you before purchase.
It is very important for me:
- Videocard has to work reliably in XP.
- Performance of the PC shouldn't be lower than with the old videocard.
In the Geforce GTX 650 Ti user manual it is told that it uses 6-pin connector.
Is it the same connector as for 8800 GTX?
Sorry for my bad english.
Thanks in advance.

Hello.
I just found a review of a buyer of MSI Power Edition N650TI PE 1GD5/OC in Newegg.
This review disturbed me very much.
Quote:
Not PCI express 1.x compliant as MSI states, and the PCI standard mandates. I have tried this in 3 older (still
powerful) PCIe 1.x computers, and none work correctly. Anything that relies only on the GPU (like games, and all of
the benchmark tools out there) work fine, but anything that requires higher bandwidth between the motherboard and
video card (like watching a movie) looks terrible with all sorts of rendering defects that get worse with more
movement (higher bandwidth). Tested the same card on a PCIe 2.0 system (which is actually slower than one of mine)
and it worked fine, so I know the card is good. I also know the motherboards are good because I have older PCIe 2.0
cards in them that work fine.
Could you please comment on this?
Thanks in advance.

MSI Power Edition R7850 White Screen

I have been constantly atleast once a week been suffering from these blank white screens while using my PC not necessarily playing games. It even gets into this screen while browsing some sites. I have to forcefully restart the system using the restart button everytime this happens.
The card is not being overclocked using the afterburner and infact is running at its core clock speed of 950 mhz all the while. Any help would be appreciated greatly.
Attaching an image. I even have an video can upload it to youtube if required.
Catalyst Installed : 12.10
MSI After burner Installed : 2.3.1

please list your components in your build! >>Posting Guide<<
also please state the +12V rail amperage that the PSU has?
thank you

MSI NEW P.E. Series Video Card - GTX670 Power Edition 2GD5/OC with Twin Frozr 4

Glad to be back in the forum and I was been busy for awhile. By this time lots of PC hardware already came out especially from Nvidia. Just like today my share would be MSI's N670GTX PE 2GD5/OC video card.
First of all lets talk about the GTX670 GPU chip. This GPU is the younger sibling of GTX680 which uses the same 28nm GK104 chip but with one disabled shader cluster/core.The reference or standard GPU clock is 915Mhz with a turbo boost of 980 and as for the memory is concerned, it has a 256bit memory bus connected to a 2GB GDDR5 memory with speed of 6008Mhz. Just like with any Kepler based architecture, the card would also have all the goodies like "Adaptive V-Sync", "AA TXAA (Temporal Super Sampling)", supports "DX11.1" and improved 3D Vision Surround.
Moving on, let's check out now what MSI did with their GTX670 SKU based video card. The card is under a new Series named "Power Edition" (series comparison table below) and it comes factory overclocked from GPU clock of 915MHz to 1020MHz and Turbo boost of 980Mhz to 1080Mhz. It also comes with the 4th version of Twin Frozr Thermal Cooling design with a theme color of Black and Blue which matches the color of MSI's midrange to high-end motherboards as well. The dual 8cm PWM fan based cooler are equipped with Propeller Fan Blades which draws air better and now has the so called "Dust Removal Technology", basically as you startup your PC the fan will rotate counter clockwise for 30 seconds clearing the dust from the cooling heatsink. Adding a finishing touch, MSI equipped the video card with their Military Class III components ensuring the best performance, efficiency, higher overclocks and durability.

@Bernhard
The card is not with me already :( it was just left for few days. Don't worry next time I will make some tests using Virtu MVP.
@Update
Afterburner 2.2.3 is already out and with this new version. You can overclock the PE better

MSI R7850 POWER EDITION 2GD5/OC vs TWIN FROZR 2GD5/OC

I had to do an RMA with MSI for the R7850 POWER EDITION 2GD5/OC I had, and it turns out they don't have anymore inventory of it, so I'm accepting a R7850 TWIN FROZR 2GD5/OC as a replacement.
The only differences I can spot immediately are that I may lose voltage control, the Core clock comes slightly lower, and the heatsink is model III instead of IV.
I imagine I can just overclock with Afterburner if needed to up the core clock; I'm wondering if voltage control could also be unlocked though? Also is there any other difference that I should be aware of?

general difference between Power Edition and models with Twin Fozr,
is that Power Editions has Enhanced PWM Design and offers triple voltage control [compared to regular model: + memory voltage and + Aux voltage]

N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC

Hello,
I have exactly the same issues like the OP.
I bought my video card (N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC) 3 days ago and my video card is showing exactly the same symptoms as described by the OP.
I was able to play 2 evenings after hours of problems where my computer system was showing the same artifacts immediately after turning it on. When the system succeeded to boot to Windows the nvidia driver kept crashing over and over again if I did not receive blue screens.
Surprisingly after booting again and again and again and... the system was eventually stable to play 2 hours. After shutting down and turning the computer on again the same problems reoccur.
I did not RMA the card so far because I was trying to isolate the conditions where the card is running stable. I was not successful so far.
My nvidia 8800 GTX works like a charm. All, and I really would like to point that out, all other components are 6 weeks old! Last component I exchanged because of the graphics issues was the PSU. After exchanging the PSU the problem was gone for 15 mins.
@RelevantToSome: Looks like I am using the same memory like you... Compatibility issue?

Quote from: Bernhard on 06-October-12, 05:51:32
Test your 570 in another know working system with a similar GPU.
Are you talking about a similar CPU or GPU?
Of course, both is not available!
Quote from: Bernhard on 06-October-12, 05:51:32
My initial suspicion is a PSU or the card itself.
Quote from: Bernhard on 06-October-12, 05:51:32
Yes, on paper the PSU should be OK, but it may not have the available amps as claimed, i.e. could be defective.
At least it has enough amps to run the card and while measuring power consumption my whole system sucks 392 watts, ~140 watts less than the PSU manufacturer claims for the 12V rail alone. And the PSU does not really seem defective because when the system manages to boot up it runs without problems hours and I would expect the system would run under full pressure even 24 hours.
Quote from: Bernhard on 06-October-12, 05:51:32
If the card works on another system, then test your PSU on the other system.
I have no other system available to disassemble completely. I have 2 PSUs here. Both show the same symptoms...
I purchased this PSU because I also thought my PSU might be defective...
Quote from: Bernhard on 06-October-12, 05:51:32
We can't support your MB, but your BIOS may need an update. Check the MB manufaturers BIOS release notes.
Just for interest, what is the relation between BIOS update and a card showing artifacts immediately after turning the computer on?
Ofc I will flash my BIOS just to sort that out...

MOVED: Display driver stopped responding and has recovered. MSI GTX 670 Power Edition

This topic has been moved to Graphics Cards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=251843.0

Hey there,
Noticed that my BIOS drivers were outdated so i updated them (Z68A-GD65 G3, version: 25.8), after all the reboots i logged on my computer, started teamspeak, and while searching for the teamspeak room the driver problem happened again.
Anyway, my power supply is NOX Hummer 80 600W, model: HUM80600.
The problems started on September of this year i think? I've had this computer for almost 3 years now. I have the latest Nvidia drivers, and this still happens, i've tried downgrading, fresh installing, and nothing worked.
Graphics card: MSI GTX 670 Power Edition 2GB GDDR5 PCI-E 3.0 DirectX11, S/N: 602-V284-02SB1207063830.
I'll try it tommorow if possible.
Thank you for the attention.

MSI GS60 Ghost Pro Golden Edition - A Combination of Stylish and High Performance.

I have no idea who can say no to this shining and charming beauty....
The BackStory
When I studied at graduate school, I bought my first laptop, Asus F3J, of my life and brought it to school everyday. Actually it was a 2.9kg around laptop for gaming and I felt like carry a heavy brick. It was quite inconvient and kind of suffer for a person like me who was not doing fitness. After I graduated from school and was being a member of society, I decided to find a laptop that was much lighter and easier to bright to work. Toshiba R830 was what I chose, but this time, the performance of playing some hardcore game wasn’t good enough since it doesn’t have a discrete graphics card.
I started to believe there is a trade off between perforamnce and weight of laptop with these two experience. Until one day, I came across with MSI GS60 Ghost Pro at Computex 2014, it was a notebook weigh just around 2kg and uncompromising with high performance. In more detail, It had core I7 CPU、High-end GTX graphics card and two 256MB SSD within it. From that day, I know it is the notebook am looking for, it is a note book I can bring to work and also play game at home. Furthermore, MSI is going to issue the limited Golden edition of it around the end of year, it gave me one more reason to buy this “good stuff”, because both me and my girl think gold is the most fashion color in recent year, just like iphone. So that is the backstory, now i just have the golden one and is going to unbox it for you.
The Main Specification
MSI GS60 Ghost Pro 2QE Golden Edition:
•   CPU: Core i7-4710HQ (2.5GHz – 3.5GHz)
•   OS: Windows 8.1
•   Display: 15.6″ WQHD+, IPS (2880*1620)
•   Memory Supplied: 16G 2*8GB DDR3L 1600
•   Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX970M GDDR5 3GB
•   Storage: 2 x 256GB M.2 SSD + 1TB 7200RPM HDD
•   Wireless Lan: Killer 802.11 a/c
The Unboxing
It is a really big one, please do drive your car while buying this NB from the shop.
Inside the main brown shipping box, there are MSI stylish back bag and the a black branded carry case.
The back back is grey color with good material quality, it also a simple and fashion design which is suitable for young or stylish worker. The sense of touch is also good.
There are several layers inside the bag, even more, a shock-absorbing laptop sleeve in it. What a surprise!!
In the big black branded carry case. There are two black box, one is for accessory. One is for the main role “GS60” with sponge to protect it as you can see in the photo.
Let see the accessory box first, a MSI gaming mouse、a MSI/SteelSeries Flux headset、a keyboard protector and a mouse pad.
The mouse has red light shining on both side when it connect to the laptop. It’s really a gaiming stuff! We can also see the double braided cord that improved the durability.
As “+” and “-“ these buttons in the middle of the mouse, user can adjust the sensity of the mouse instantly by these two bottons in the game. No need to waste your time finding the adjument UI within the game. It is such a good benefit for a gamer.
The Flux headset has ear cushions with mesh-cloth material it let you feel comfortable when wear it. You also can find out the color of the shell beside the headset can be changed, one pair is MSI design in red color, the other one is pure black one.
It also has a convenient design that the earmuff can be folded, in order to make the headset into a plat one and easy to put in your bag.
The performance of the headset is high-end and highs that don’t get brittle. About the deep bass, it also quite stunning. Overall, it can make the music carry listener’s heart.
It deserves you to put it on the top of your gaming headset list.
Here we open another black box, the GS60 is packaging by the non-woven cloth.
There are also the power adaptor、power cord and mini displayport to D-sub cable.
By the way, the power adapter is 25.53 mm thick and 0.52kg. weigh, 19.5V and 7.7A output.
Moreover, there are instruction manuals、several driver CDs and even two military dog tag with MSI logo, actually I am not a military lover, so I am going to use them as a key ring but not to hang on my neck.
Finally, let us see a royal-like GS60 Ghost Pro Golden…
Using Mg-Li alloy as the material, its chasis gains the advantage of both ultra-light and solid.
According to MSI official website, the idea of design comes from the stealth fighter, so it shows dynamic streamline in its design. Beside the visual effect, it makes you feel comfortable when typing due to the slimmer front edge and solid palm rest. The high gloss finish and bright gold will reflect light, so it change color slightly in different lighting condition. Overall, it delivery supreme visual treat.
To see a more apparent golden color, I put it on my sofa with yellow background.
Shinging and charming….
The fancy muscle curve and hire line surface make it elegant and gorgeous.
The shield and the MSI logo, they are delicated design without roughness.
The black color keycap contrast with the golden chasis apparently.
The touchpad looks cool as well, the material it made let the surface being anti-skidding and you wont leave your fingerprint on it.
It has Dynaudio speaker and Steelseries keyboard these two famous brand as it high-end equipment. 4 channel speakers and comfortable tactile keyboard. Moreover, the Graphics card it equiped is GTX 970M,
One of the lastest high-end Nvidia GTX graphics card. It is the first gaming notebook to equip GTX 970M .No doubt MSI regard themselves as the leader brand of gaming.
Sound Blaster Cinema 2+Dyanudio, Bravo~~
Let’s check the connectivity of this beauty.
No ports but seried of cooling vents at the rear panel,in order to let air flow and palm rest feeling.
being better.
The left side of it located the microphone (line out) and headphone (line in) jack, two USB 3.0 ports, the power connector socket and a security port. Also the vent close to the rear panel. The metal golden jack can isolate much more noice and enhance the reality of music as not being distortion.
The right side of GS60 located an USB 3.0 port, card reader, Mini DisplayPort, HDMI port, and GB LAN (RJ45). GS60 Ghost Pro can support 2 external moniotr with mini display and HDMI port. When playing PRG game, you can use the main one to play game, the other one can show a walkthrough. The last one, you can even use skype or outlook to connect others.
The front side you can see the LED to show some fuction status. Such as the battary status and bloothtooth has been turned on or not..etc.
From bottom of this notebook you can see the battery is not removable, I guess the idea probably come from iphone. In fact, I seldomly remove the battery when I using a laptop, unless it really heavy to carry. But this time, GS60 is not heavy, so it wont be a problem to me.
I used the scaler to measure the actual weight and ruler to see how thin it is, the result cames out 19.95mm thin and 2.1kg weight. Is it really a gaming machine I used to think of?! Such an ultra-book style.
As I know, all the gaming notebook used to be black and silver color, there are few gaming notebook with others color. MSI this time has find its way to make a breakthrough. Of course, the creative thinking and the adventurous action is what we need in gaming world!!
In a word, as you can see from the picture above ,the metallic feel of it is so attractive!!It is the most stylish and creative gaming notebook I have ever seen.
All of above are the unboxing of hardware part.let’ talk about some function and feature of this treasure.
Dragan Gaming Center which is preinstalled in this MSI laptop. With this application, you can monitor the status of the important elements in the system. You can also quick start a game or an utility through it.
Fn+F7="Shift", according to the official website, the key can be used to change the mode of the notebook in 3 status, the default "Sport"mode、"Comfort" mode and "Green mode", it is a adjustment function to control the CPU and GPU workload in order to balance the performance and temperature
Use "Shift" to switch the mode you prefer.
Green- System locks both GPU and CPU chip temp.
Comfort- System locks GPU chip temp and dynamic adjusts the GPU chip temp
Sport- Defaut and without any control.
I am not afraid about the high temperature and noise from fans, so I like to use the default one, Sport mode~
If you are playing a game in the library, please do choose Green mode to keep the fan from being busy.
The "Shift" is MSI exclusive function, the idea comes from the shifting gear in automobile.
Here comes another interesting feature, which is called Killer Double Shot Pro.With this function,
the GB LAN and Wireless LAN act like combined togather and user can acquire the bandwith from both.
Killer Netwok Manager UI
This network technology also offers you a smooth background when playing game, because you can set the gaming applications as higher priority to use the bandwith than others. What a bravo feature!!
The highest resolution of GS60 Ghost Pro is 2880*1620 which is also called 3K,
as you can see from the screenshot below, when playing game you gain much more visual delight.
With the HDMI and mini display output, you can enjoy a 1+2 matrix display function.
With the XSplit Gamecaster preintalled in GS60, you can share your game just in time through live streaming while playing it. however, I won't use this function because I don't wanna share my skill to the others, hahaha~~
The Steal Series Engine, it is my favorite. You can set the keypress macro、text macro or lauch application just in one key. For example, while playing Leaque of Legend, we always need to press Q、W、E、R、T
immediately, but with keypress macro function, you can trigger them just in one key. Quite convient, isn't it?
You can also choose the color you want for the keyboard backlit with Steal Series Egine. This function shows the gaming feature indeed.
That's see the multi-color backlit of it. What a show off!!!
Below is the hardware information showed by Nvidia Experience UI and GPU Z
GeForce GTX 970M with DDR5 3G and I7-4710HQ!!
I can't wait to see the 3D MARK 11 P score...
Here it got P9272 at sport mode. Outstanding!!
For 3D MARK Fire Strike, it got 6515 at sport mode. I have to say that GS60 Ghost Pro punches above its weight.
The result of Valley Benchmark 1.0 is below, score 1560 and FPS is 37.3.
Testing the Call of duty Ghost with FRAPS, while play the game, it goes smoothly and the fps showed at top-left is around 100~200. As you can see the delicated scenery and character there, it seems like act in the reality.
The sequencial read of these two SSD is 1022MB/s, it features from the Super RAID technology. Applying the RAID 0 technical usually used in server into SSD to make the IOPS much better.
Take a look at its outward appearance again, bring it oudoor to see its color under natural light.
Fantastic~~
I would like to say, the GS60 Ghost Pro Golden is Lamborghini in gaming laptop!! It will be all the rage.

This year, GTX970M performance is even better than 880M, with GS60's slim design, I can only say the advance of technology is so amazing!!!

MSI GTX570 TwinFrozr III Power Edition: Unstable at stock unless fan is 100%

Hello Everyone,
I got my GTX 570 TwinFrozr III Power Edition yesterday and I like it a lot. I've been testing it and running it through various benchmarks and games to find the best stable overclocks with Afterburner. By doing this I noticed a few things that lead me to question if there is a problem.
Before I started trying to overclock, I ran the card at the stock settings 770core/1540shader/2000memory @ 0.962v and tried various benchmarks and stress tests. Immediately I noticed there were errors and artifacts. I tried to increase voltage and I noticed that the artifacts and errors were going away, so I thought maybe my VID was too low... at 1.012v it seems to be error free at stock settings.
I tried another thing as well, I left the card at stock VID (0.962v) and put the fan speed to 100% and I noticed all errors and artifacts completely gone. So I lowered fan speed to 70% because 100% is too loud for me and 70% is still pretty loud but it's better... I found that at 70% I still got some errors but not a lot. Let me just say that my GPU Core temperatures are amazing. never over 62c.
So now I don't know if there is a problem with my card or the factory just gave it too low of stock VID. I think it's kind of weird that at stock settings that the card would produce artifacts and errors unless the fan speed is at 100%. I'm guessing MSI factory tested stock overclocks with 100% fan speed?
I love this card, but if I ever resell in the future and someone installs this card they will think its broken.
Let me just state that finally, the card is an overclocking monster. I am now at 950core/1900shader/2300memory @ 1.082v without any errors... The only problem I have is that when I run unigine heaven I see some of these graphical anomalies. Here's an example I found online which is exactly what I see. http://fotohost.lv/images/n6azp80ru74so1ecp009.jpg
So far I'm not sure what the cause is for that... but I think that when I put the fan at 100% I didn't see it. I could be wrong, but I will test again when I wake up tomorrow.
Thanks MSI.

Thanks for the reply Henry, but the problem here is that it wasn't stable from the factory at their settings.
Do you understand how this can be problematic for me if I ever decided to sell the card? It is no problem for me to raise the voltage at all. I think this card is phenomenal, but if I ever sold this card to someone else who doesn't want to or know how to overclock or adjust voltages, it would be classified as a broken or faulty video card.
Also scratch the stability at 100% fan speed. I still get some errors, although not many. The card seems to be stable around 1.018 volts at default overclocked settings.
I just didn't expect MSI to make a mistake on the stock VID. If there were a way for them to fix it through a bios update it would be great.
Edit: Just for the record, the card is a great overclocker and is very stable. The only gripe I have is that it isn't stable at default frequencies unless I bump voltage to 1.018. This is no problem for me, but if I ever were to sell this card, I would have to have a disclaimer that it is unstable unless you put voltage higher?
I'm just trying to figure out if this could be some oversight on MSI's part and if it isn't, could my card not have been quality inspected?

R7850 Power Edition 2GD5/OC and Afterburner + Driver Issues/Concerns?

I just got my R7850 Power Edition 2GD5/OC today, and did a fresh install of Windows 7 but just had a few concerns and issues so far:
1. When using the latest beta (12.11) from AMD, Nexuiz seems to cause the system to BSOD. Kombustor, BF3, and other games didn't have any issues, so I just found this strange. However, these are beta drivers for a reason I guess. In any case, 12.10 seems to work fine with Nexuiz, so it definitely seems driver-related...
2. The highest Core Clock limit in Afterburner is 1050MHz, the same limit in Catalyst. Since this is a PE/OC card, I would've figured the limit to be way higher than this by default? I tried enabling the unofficial overclocking method (t=338906 on Guru3D), but this just caused Afterburner to not have/set any values for both Core and Memory Clocks. I then took a look at this guide (t=359671 on Guru3D) and put the 2 .dll's in Afterburner's folder, and it causes it to be able to read and set clocks properly, however, there is an insane amount of flickering at times (I think due to switching of clocks?).
3. MSI LiveUpdate 5 can't read my card BIOS or get any information about it aside from it being a 7800 Series card. I was mainly interested in checking for any VBIOS updates, and if it helps, GPU-Z tells me my BIOS Version is 015.015.000.002.000000 (113-xxx-xxx).
4. The dust-removal fan tech, or more specifically, the fan reversal spinning doesn't stop after 30 seconds if no GPU driver exists in Windows. In other words, if I'm using the Standard VGA drivers, the fans keep spinning (in reverse I'm pretty sure) at what sounds like full power.
I have CPU-Z and GPU-Z validation URL's in my signature for any more system information, and I also have a hec 585W PSU.

For 1. you already solved this yourself to be driver related.
Yeah, I guess I was just more or less curious if anyone else had a similar incident with these drivers.
Quote from: flobelix on 24-October-12, 19:52:46
For 2.: Use Driver Fusion in Safe Mode to remove current VGA drivers.
Then install latest drivers from MSI
Try again
From what I understand, those are just the standard Catalyst 12.8 drivers from AMD? In any case I saw http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18431335 which in short said to make a desktop shortcut of AB with -xcl, and download some patch; and doing both of those actually worked on Catalyst 12.10 drivers. So everything (so far) seems ok, no flickering or anything.
Quote from: flobelix on 24-October-12, 19:52:46
For 3.: Upload current vbios to a filehoster and post link as well as add S/N
VBIOS: http://puu.sh/1i8DU
S/N: 602-V273-030B1207046208

For 4.: That is normal, it runs at full speed until fan control kicks in with the driver.

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

SLI between N580 lightning and N580GTX TWIN FROZR III 15D5 POWER EDITION/OC

Hi,
I am gonna upgrade to a 30 inch monitor and run a resolution beyond FullHD and this will require some potent GPU calculation power!
I already have a MSI N580GTX Lightning edition for a long time now but this card is nowhere to found anymore these days, however the N580GTX TWIN FROZR III 15D5 POWER EDITION/OC is the follow up card of the lightning extreme edition.
Will this SLI setup work between these 2 cards?
The Power edition look like a re-branded variant of the lightning, even the specs are the same (its down clocked a few steps though)
Please only advise if you are certain, it would be a waste of my money if this SLI will not work!
With kind regards,
Rick

no its the first (non extreme) edition
Btw i edited my earlier post with links and more comment...
Aha, it should be not a problem to work together then.

The only differences i can find is the P4 hardware (seperate fases) in the Lightning....so basicly they ARE the same but.....the Power edition would most likely overclock less then the lightning...?
Those are cards features, they are not related to SLI support

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

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 GTX 570 Twin Frozr III POWER Edition OC - Dual monitors IDLE higher temp

I have MSI GTX 570 Twin Frozr III POWER Edition OC, when I attached second monitor to this card temperature in IDLE mode on this card goes higher from ~38C with one monitor to around ~45-6C with second.
Card with attached two monitors do not goes in 2D mode, I readed its a nvidia bug and I should upgdate my BIOS.

Don't forget you need a GPT OS installation.
Have fun.
Yes,
I will convert my disk to GPT.
