MSI R4870-MD1G ARTIFACT problem

Hello. i've written in online customer service in Sep 21, 2010.
i've gotten no response so let's try to post this here.
problem is that im getting artifacts when i play games. There are some pixels and triangles all over the screen.
i think there is problem with heat in memory. when i exit game and check memory temp says it's 84 C and my fan speed is at 70%
i\'ve been using latest catalyst drivers but i\'ve also tried older catalyst drivers.
My pc:
Coolermaster Haf case
750 watt power supply by CM
core i5 750
4gb ddr3
p55 based motherboard.

Edit1: if it's possible i'd like to get different VGA as replacement of this. which has different cooling system but around same performance. doesn't matter if Nvidia or Ati.

You have to talk with MSI or reseller about it, we can't help with this

  • MSI R4870-MD1G Core Clock 600Mhz / 750 Mhz ??

    Hi,
    I have a couple of questions I hope you can help me about the MSI R4870-MD1G.
    I purchased this card last march, and its been handling all the latest games with ease, and under normal conditions the Core temp runs pretty cool (around 49ºC/53ºC Idle) with average 40/50% duty cycle.
    But, the memory temperature is quite high, inbetween 70ºC/ 72ºC idle all the way up to 79ºC/82ºC load.... and since we´ve hit the summer here in sunny Portugal, both core and memory are now a couple degrees higher, even got to 89ºC once a couple days ago. So last night I opened up Rivatuner 2.24 and created a faster fan speed profile to cool down the card.
    While I was in Rivatuner, I noticed in Rivatuner Hardware Monitoring, that in idle (windows desktop) the Core Clock is oscillating between 600Mhz and 750Mhz every second. 1 second its 600Mhz, the next its 750Mhz (Memory Clock just stays the same at 900Mhz) ... while in load it stays at 750Mhz.
    Is this behavior normal? A power saving mode or something?? If it isnt normal, how can I set it to stay at 750Mhz ?
    Also, about the memory temperature... isn´t 70ºC idle and 82ºC load a bit high??
    They dont have heatsinks, and I dont know, what is the max temperature these memory chips can handle??
    Speeding up the fan to 100% duty doesn´t cool it more then just a couple degrees, I think the max I could cool it to was 68ºC.
    Thanks for your assistance,

    Yes its normal VGA changes clocks depend of needs.

  • MSI 4870 MD1G crossfire problem

    i resently bought 2  msi 4870 MD1G  i installed them and i connected the bridges, installed catalyst 9.4.
    and i found that crossfirex is unavailble in the control center i checked the hardware and its installed corectly also the bridges.
    i re-installed the driver but no luck i also uninstalled the driver->runed safe mode->cleaned the ati registry with driver sweeper->installed the driver but no luck again.
    and i didn,t found any option in my mob bios 2 siwtch bettwen single and daul PCI-e
    i need help plzzzzzz 
    Plus: every time when i use the pc, at the begining i see dots, lines , and screen tearing in media and games and the temperature  rise 2 66-71,and after  1-2 min the screen goes black then return again and all the problems gone and the temp return 2 normal.
    is it a hardware problem or a driver issue?

    thx for the help but i already fixed the problem:
    for who is having a problem similar 2 me use this method
    1) First uninstall all component CCC with traditional method through Vista x64 "uninstall a program"
    2) Reboot the system and again make sure everything is off the system.
    3) Go back to the "Uninstall a program" list and ensure that there is no other ATI specific software listed. If there is use the same method and remove it and restarting the system when complete.
    4) Go to computer under "C" hard drive and locate folder ATI and remove it manualy.
    5) This is what I have made myself : restart computer in safe mode and with driver sweeper clean all entries concerning ATI driver.
    6) Restart in normal mode and clean registries entries with the soft Ccleaner.
    7) Shut down the computer and retrieve the cards and replug only one card .
    8) Restart the computer.
    9) disable non microsoft services and startup programs:
    - click Start and then click Run (execute)
    -Type "msconfig" without quotes
    -click on tab "General" and after click on "Selective Startup" and clear the "Load System Services" check box.
    -Under tab "Startup" click to clear "Load Startup Items"
    -On the "Services " tab click to select the "Hide All Microsoft Services" check box and then click "Disable All"
    -click applies and ok and restart the computer.
    10) Installing the driver with only one card pluged
    11) shut down the computer and install the second card with bridge interconnect.
    12) restart the computer.

  • MSI 4870 MD1G - Annoying Artifact problem ...

    Greetings!
    I tried to find a solution to my problem, but unfortunately I didn't find anything ... So:
    I bought a MSI 4870 MD1G card 2 months ago to my new PC.
    Specs:
    AMD Phenom II X2 - 550
    Gigabyte 770XT-UDP4
    4GB OCZ Platinum 1600 MHz DDR3
    Samsung Pinpoint F1 1TB
    MSI 4870 MD1G
    Enermax Liberty 400W
    I was try it, run a lot of tests and I was very happy with it, it's fast and stable ...
    But ... after a few days later I started a game (STALKER Clear Sky ...) and some graphics artifacts appears! I quickly quit from the game and check temperatures and anything ... but everything seems to be ok ... (I didn't OC the card ...)
    I was downloaded some GPU tests (Furmark, GPU Caps Viewer, etc ...) and I found a lot of artifacts ...
    After when I restarted my PC, the problem dissapears ... There is no artifacts, an I can play more than 8 hour without any problems ...
    Few days after ... Artifacts again ... I just restart my computer and the problem is fixed ...
    I was made a lot of trials, with XP, Vista and Win7, with different drivers (9.6, 9.7, 9.8, 9.9 ...) and the artifacts always come back ... If I let to run the game/testprogram to run with artifatcts, the VPU Recovery is fix the problem, or I need to restart my pc ...
    But its very annoying ...
    It's hard to reproducate this problem, so I don't want to RMA this Card ... (Actually I like it, quiet and fast ) ...
    Any idea?
    Thanks for the help! (And sorry for my English ...)

    wow, I mean WOW!!! I removed the gigantic 220mm fan, set fan on the board to 60% (almost inaudible in my system) and set the memory to 925MHz... It helped! It really helped! I saw one or 2 black squares in 1.5 hour game but it much more stable than 100% fan / 900MHz memory. Amazing! How did you come up with that solution? 
    Great!
    I played some hours with the problem and try a lot of ideas (Thats my work too, I'm a HW/SW troubleshooter in an electronik factory )
    I'm happy, because we found a temporary solution ... So we need to wait for the official solution

  • Photoshop CS5 update doesn't fix artifact problem in the menu bar !

    Hi to all,
    I've installed the new update (december 7) recommended by Adobe, but that doesn't fix the Artifact problems in the menu bar !!!
    More, with my Windows 7 Pro (French language), Photoshop CS5 video pilot create artifacts in the menu bar in several situations.
    With Windows classic Theme chosen, theme management disabled:
    1. Opening a photo and applying a filter (especially Noise Reduction).
    2. Opening a photo and changing some preferences.
    3. Opening a photo with Windows 7 File Explorer working cause the pilot to crash with a black screen, ans followed by a message saying that Win 7 has recovered the video pilot.
    To suppress most of the problems, I need to Activate "Themes" and choose an Aero theme or the Basic Theme.
    I also need to activate some items that slow the PC !
    Very strange !
    Could someone help, me please ?
    Have a Nice Day.
    Thierry

    Yes, I've an Asus ENGT220/G/DI/1GD3, tried Windows default pilot, 2009 Asus pilot "nv19045_Win7Vista64.zip", and 2010 latest version "nv25919_Win7Vista64.zip", no change !
    More, I've exchanged the video car by a "monster" ENGTX465 with it's driver, NO CHANGE !
    So what to do ?!
    Help, please !

  • MSI R4870-T2D512 compatibility with crossfire and a current card

    I own the factory overclocked version of the stand r4870.  I was interested in purchasing another and setting up crossfire mode.  The same card is being sold for %50 more than what I originally paid.  Talk about a rip-off. 
    If I wanted to buy a more current model, will it crossfire with my MSI R4870-T2D512? 
    If I buy a 1gb version of a new card, will it only use 512megs since the older card only has 512?  If possible, what would be the equivalent to the old MSI R4870-T2D512.
    Do I have to buy an MSI card or can I buy HIS, or some other brand?

    Thanks for the combo chart.  That answered question 1.  I noticed that the dotted intersections are the "recommended graphics combination for compatibility"  That limits me to a 4870 or a 4870x2.  What happens when you are using a card that is not the recommended?
    Do I have to buy an MSI card or can I buy HIS, or some other brand?

    [Athlon64] Msi K8N Neo2 Platinum problems with Patriot Ram

    First post, whoo hooo   
    So what version of BIOS are u running?  I recently installed the two newest versions 2.0 and 2.1, and they both give me problems.  With the latest (2.1) I'm getting the same error as you.  Returning back to previous BIOS fixed my problems.  Oh yeah, my RAM is Kingston Hyper-X, so i don't think thats your problem.
    Let me know if you fix it, thats why im here, .

  • Power of the Press - MSI Neo4 SLI Bios Problem

    For those interested, I just sent this to hardocp because they did the review on the MSI SLI Platinum.  Since MSI headlines this review on their website, maybe hardocp can do something about this bios problem.  Enjoy and please send more emails to hardocp so we can get this problem addressed!  Believe me, Ive seen this works with washington politicians, I know it can work if we all do it.
    I appreciate companies like yours doing extensive reviews about products.  However, your review caused me and a whole bunch of others to purchase this board with enormous problems associated with it (check out the msi forums).  The problem is that this board works only for 130nm chips in which you tested on.  On the newer amd 90nm chips, this board is the worst performing sli board out in the marketplace (for both winni and venice core chips).  You need to do something to stop people from buying this board because its just awful and the folks from MSI are silent on the subject.
    It's gotten so bad that people have gone out and purchased other sli boards, transferred all of the equipment out of it and into the new one and guess what...voila, no problems.  Anyway, some of those in the other user forums had the same problem but those other manufacturers quickly fixed the problem.  Its just getting worse and worse.  I feel like both msi (and I am MAD) and reviewers like you (unless you don't know about the problem) are silent on this and its cost me hard earned MONEY ($175 for the mobo) and hours and hours of time...
    You have a LOT OF POWER with MSI and I can see it because they headline your review on their website (power of the press).   For Gods sake, please do something before others make the same mistake or if you can get MSI to allocate resources to fix the problem...you would be HEROs!  Thank you.

    Ok, I guess I am confused some, where is the issue with the new cores? I have no issues running the San Diego core and the my memory at the listed and published speeds.....
    Quote
    Also is your MOBO the SLI type? I run the SLI Neo4 with a San Diego core without any issues. In fact I dropped it in and booted using the San Diego as a direct replacement for a older (if 6 months is old!!) 3500. I have OC'ed with Corecetner as far as I can push it and runs awesome!
    Quote
    GUys, I am not sure exactly what issues you are experiencing as there can be MANY factors! But my SLI Neo is running awesome! It overclocks (no Tiresmoke, i won't go into that in this forum  ) and has NEVER once BSOD, or rebooted or even crashed! Not once and I push the crap out of this as it is my gaming box.  Also TS you are SO correct on the clock settings on the ultras, you gotts make sure they are the same or it will cause issues. The only thing I am kinda bummed about is the lack of real performance with the dual 6800 Ultra's, but that is a Nvidia issue not MSI. Guys I may be blessed, but I have run three Neo MSI brds, 2 939 and 1 754 and never had any issues....
    Quote
    I have yet to experience any boot/reboot issues...So I think we should wait to hear more from this person before we assume anything...

    I have the nForce4 SLI brd and i run a new San Diego..it booted up fine and zero problems. But man is this thing FAST
    Quote
    According to MSI, the Neo4 will work fine with the new cores, the Neo2 will need a bios upgrade
    Quote
    I set my brd up the first time for SLI with dual cards and have never had any issues..Sorry guys, but I guess it's the luck of the draw, but I have yet to ever ave an issue with any MSI brds..I have a Neo2,Neo4 and the older 754 slot Neo..no issues.

    Look, I have already been threatened to be banned because of my sarcastic replies to you.  Read every one of your responses I listed.  Obviously OTHERS are having problems.  WHY don't you help them instead of TAUNTING people that yours works.  They are upset, and you make them feel dumb like it's their fault. 
    Man I have tried to contribute so much to this issue that at least 20 different members here are having, I have tested with an Asus SLI board, I have tried different BIOS's and posted results, I have theorized with others and I feel like you are slapping me in the face by restating time and time again "what problem mine works great"i
    I'm on a verbal warning because I didn't have respect for you.  Well how are you respecting the other people who have problems by saying you don't know what their issue is.  Read up on it or help them, instead of creating tension. Please?

  • MSI 651 Combo / MS6769 Problem with Temperature

    Hi. I´m having some troubles with my mb, since 2 weeks ago. Suddenly, it starts to appear that cpu temperature go 70 º C (158 º F), and i hadn´t do anything. I changed the cooler, and put some new grease, and nothing happen. Then i searched in this forum, and i found a message simmilar, that said something about upgrade bios, and thas what i recently do (WS6769 v1.0 originally, then V1.3, then V1.2). But nothing...
    What should i do? buy another mb? I don´t want to.
    Thanks.
    Claudio

    Well, i´m pretty sure that it is the mother board, because, i already changed all what´s possible to change: processor, RAM, hd, power supply, processor.
    Din: I don´t know what´s "corecenter". I already upgraded BIOS (to v1.2 that supuestly fix my problem), and put thermal paste (grease? in spanish "pasta disipadora") between CPU cooler and CPU. And i do change the processor (i put a p4 1,8GHz), with other FAN processor (CPU cooler), and the same temperature.
    Danny:Those details you ask me:
    In a label on the power supply (lVoltage MAXAmpere): +5V 30A, +3.3V 20A, +12V 15A, -12V 0.8A, -5V 0.5A, +5Vsb 2.5A.
    It is a Maxpower 300 Watts ATX, model PX300.
    On BIOS PC Health: Sys Temp: 18ºC/66ºF, CPU Temp 66ºC/150ºF (up to 70ºC), CPU Fan speed 2909 RPM, Vcore 1.68V, 3.3V 3.26V, +5V 5.10V, +12V 12.03V, -12V -12.19V, VBAT(V) 3.26V, 5Vsb(V) 5.14V.
    I have a Celeron 1,8 GHz, socket 478, a MSI 651 Combo MS6769 Motheboard, with nothing else. Hd Maxtor 30Gb, Rewriter MSI 52x24x52.
    The problem: From one day to another, it wasn´t load XP. It resets itself after a few seconds (about 5 secs). On the BIOS PC Health section, i actived the CPU Temperature beep on "too much degrees" (i don´t remember the exact name, but that´s the idea). And that´s how i realize that the temperature is the problem. I think it is how the motherboard inform the temperature, and it is a nominal temperature, not real. If it´s real, i already had a burnt processor.
    Anything else that can help to find a solution for me?
    Very thanks.
    Claudio

    If you want to try another psu any Corsair single rail psu from 550W and above would be fine. Recommended is Corsair VS Series VS650. Quite cheap but plenty of power for your system. It offers 50A on a single +12v rail.

  • 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!

  • MSI NX7600GT-T2D256EZ - artifacts, crashing

    Hi
    I bought MSI NX7600GT-T2D256EZ about a week ago. My problem is that after a short while when playing games I get artifacts and finally the game crashes. It has gone worse day by day and now it crashes almost instantly - sometimes even while at desktop so I have had to use integrated grapchics card for a few days now.
    My system runs pretty cool at MB temperatures of 32c and 36c. CPU is running at 45c

    I think that my system is actually running cooler with the case closed rather than case open since it has few case fans to circulate air inside.
    I opened the case and the artifacts appeared just as quickly as case open. Then I added additional 80mm fan to blow straight to VGA card. It pushes temperatures down little bit but the card still starts artifacting when it reaches around 62 celcius. With fan blowing straight to VGA card system stays up for around few minutes instead of few seconds without the fan.
    I couldnt find any options for overclocking from NVIDIAS control panel.
    well seems to be overheating problem. if the frequncy was the same and results are different(few seconds artefacts comes before, with active cooling and open case after few minutes) seems VGA going overheat... but hmm 62C isnt so hot...
    "I couldnt find any options for overclocking from NVIDIAS control panel."
    use the same program Ati Tool to change VGA GPU and memory frequncy. (3D Clock speed, and memory)
    suggest you to take VGA out of case and to look it carefully. ensure heatstick making good contact with the core(you can re-apply termanl paste).
    other suspcicinal is not making good contact with RAM chips. you can pull carefuly heatstick to VGA RAM chips also.
    if doesnt help,basicly at this condition you can RMA it. or to change entire VGA cooling system(will lost warrantly) with somethink that gona do job.
    but that VGA is designed to work with that passive cooler and if was alrite that problem should not exist.
