MSI R6950 Twin Frozr II Radeon HD 6950 not filling screen

hi, i have a custom computer with a MSI R6950 Twin Frozr II Radeon HD 6950. when using said card with my 23'' Samsung sync master SA550 there is about 3/4in of black outside of the screen that is not being filled. it is not the monitor as i have tried it on 2 others and had the same problem. I am using an HDMI connection. i feel like it might be a driver problem or something but I've tried everything I can think of with no luck...... any help you could give me would be great, thanks.

...then go into the AMD Vision Engine Control Centre along the left hand side, look for "My Digital Flat-Panels" click this and in the new options find "Scaling Options (Digital Flat-Panel)", move the slider right till it says 0% and this should fix the issue. Good luck!

I have been trying for 8 months to get my MSI video card to work. I am trying to connect to a 46" Sony Bravia LCD TV via hdmi to hdmi. It works fine from the BIOS all the way to the point right before logging into windows. What can I do!?
MSI Twin Frozr II Radeon HD 6950 2GB - w/updated drivers
Gigabyte z68xp mb - fresh drivers and flashed bios

No other errors.
It works fine with windows standard drivers, it's not until I install the real drivers for it or windows update does it's thing that the card becomes worthless.
Please help!!!!!

MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE strange heat issue!

Hi guys,yesterday i've decided to upgrade my PC with brand new Sandy Bridge configuration,but after the first boot i've had a very unpleasant surprize with my VGA card .Right after power on my PC everything went good,display was on and showing the Bios Setup screen,but after 30-40 seconds my the VGA fans started to spin at full speed and restarted the system but after that my 40" lcd display was only showing "no signal detected" .From this point i've tried everything to get my system going,i've disabled the onboard VGA,swapped RAM modules,toggle every PCI and PCI-E add-on cards,bios reset but the issue was still there.
A couple of times i've managed to get into Windows OS but after 10 second the PC restarted again.I'm not really sure what's the issue here but i do noticed that after 10 second from boot the VGA card is getting very hot (can touch it only for 1 second) but only in the area near the power connectors,next to the capacitors...
Here's my configuration:
- CPU: Intel i5 2500K
- MoBo: Asrock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3
- RAM: Corsaire Vengence 8GB (2x4GB) DDR 1866
- PSU: Enermax Liberty 620 W
- VGA: MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE
- Case: Cooler Master HAF-X
BTW,my old MSI Radeon HD4870 is working with the above configuration and i also tested the MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE on 3 different PCs same had same issue,so if you guys have any idea about this issue please post here.

Yeah,i've already compiled the RMA form with the retailer but it doesn't have this VGA in stock anymore.I really hope it won't need months for the RMA procedure.

MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE/OC "No Signal"?

Hi guys!
I've just bought the MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE/OC, but my monitor dosent recieve any signal at all. Both power cables are plugged in, and my PSU should be big enough to manage it.
The slot works fine with my old card, a HD 5450, so is my card faulty?
Win 7 32 bit
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H55M USB3 rev 2.0
Proccesor: Intel Core i5 2.80
PSU: OCZ600MXSP 600W
Memory: 4GB

The card has two power cables, which both are plugged in. If not, a red LED lights up in the card.
I've just removed the power cable form the mobo and removed the battery from the mobo to do a clear CMOS, but unfortunately with the same results. The fans are running, but my screens says "No Cable" and goes completely black

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 R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition – Replacement Heat Sink?

Hello,
Does anyone know of a good 3rd party heat sink that will definitely fit this non reference card? We all know that manufactures such has Artic, Thermalright and Prolimatech make such heat sinks, but of course they are for reference cards. I'm sure you can understand that I don't want to make any expensive mistakes!
Thanks,
Krutish.

Thanks for the reply flobelix.
My main concern was the amount of decibels this card produced when pushed, not its thermal properties. Under high stress the card would peak at 80-85c with a fan speed of anywhere around 80-100%. Normal gaming temps would be around 65c-75c depending on game, or gaming environment, with matching fan speeds. That is why I was looking for a replacement, the temps were within the manufactures tolerances, even if a little high, but the db's were well outside of mine!
However, the situation as changed somewhat. While messing around inside the case trying to improve airflow I accidentally touched the heat-sink assembly, and upon doing so the fan instantly roared to 100% and the temps started to shoot up. I wiggled the assembly again and the fan and temps dropped back! So it seemed like the heat-sink was lose! I removed the card and tightened the screws a little, this solved the problem in regards to the temp/fan shooting up, but the temps were still high!
The next step was to completely remove the heat-sink, give it a good clean and replace the thermal compound in the hope that this would solve the noise/heat problem. It was at this point that I spotted the problem! The GPU was absolutely caked in thermal compound, so much so that all of the resistors around the GPU were also covered in thermal grease, (Don't these guys know less is better?) good job they hadn't used a metal based thermal compound, that could have wrecked the card!
Anyway, I removed the mess and used TIM-clean to dissolve what was left and finished the clean up with isopropanol. I applied a small amount of compound, replaced the heat-sink and Bobs your uncle! Max loads so far, GPU 64c – Fan speed 55%... That I can live with!
So there you have it, this card as been noisy and running hot from the day I brought it, but I didn’t know any better, I've never seen or heard a MSI R6950 in action before, now I have!
Made In China. (Sad Face)

Oh almost forgot... i heard off Artic, they recommend the Twin Turbo II, Xtreme II or the Xtreme III for this card!

Teazers of MSI N465GTX Twin Frozr II Video Card

Just right after testing the reference design MSI N465GTX video card, here just what showed up today. MSI N465GTX Twin Frozr II . I did not expect that MSI had this came out early for retail and was really excited to try it out. Here are some teasers pics.
The box is still the same where you can open up the front cover and see a brief explanation about the Military Components (Hi-c Cap, Solid Chokes & Solid Caps), Super Pipe and MSI Afterburner.
Now for the package bundle, you have:
•Manuals and Software CD which includes drivers and some utilities
•2x 4pin to 6pin power connectors
•Monitor adapters such as DVI to HDMI, DVI to VGA and Display port to HDMI
MSI done a great job here putting MSI logo and Twin Frozr II name on the top side of the card. Once installed in your rig. MSI name can be easily see
I never get tired looking at the Twin Frozr II cooler. Great job here MSI. Thick heatpipes!!! The Best!!!!
Rear ports. Two DVI connectors and one display port.
Upon testing the card. I overclocked it right away and tried a higher OC than the reference MSI N465GTX that I just previously posted here. The Twin Frozr II version was able to perform at a speed of 880MHZ core/ 1900MHZ mems and it was still stable. If I just have more time testing the card I think this can go as high as 900mhz for the core and maybe 2000mhz for the mems.

I've been quite fond of the Twin Frozr since I got it on my N260GTX OCSP.
Varti, do you mean a case badge? I haven't seen one from MSI since I got one with my TV@+ several years ago.

Request:UEFI / GOP Vbios-MSI R7850 twin Frozr-2GD5/OC Radeon HD 7850

I would like to request a UEFI / GOP Vbios for MSI R7850 Twin Frozr-2GD5/OC Radeon HD 7850 if one is available, my current vbios does not support UEFI / GOP. Thanks.
serial number:602-v273-050B1303096145
Gpu-z: h**p://gpuz.techpowerup.com/13/10/29/9wg.png
Would I just use the installer that is on this site to flash the bios, any help appreciated.
Thanks

Thankyou very much Svet,
The card and operating system(8.1) works perfect now.
What I did was, extract the files you gave me, and downloaded the ATIWinflash program,
then I put the .150 file in the same folder, then renamed the .150 file to a .rom file,
and used ATIWinflash to flash vbios(too lazy to go to the store), only took about 10 secs, then rebooted, and no more watermark :-),
Thanks again for your help.
I am glad I found this site or I would probably be just living with the watermark( Then again I don't think so, it was driving me crazy)

Hello, I recently got my R6950 twin frozr III OC edition yesterday. Plugged it in, ran the install drivers, worked like a charm. About an hour later had a comp freeze, was just browsing the web with firefox 4.
Had to manually power down and restart. Rebooted, everything was fine. Started playing Rift, no troubles. About an or 2 in, same thing, game freeze. Happened 4 times in the course of about 30 mins. I decided to call it for the night.
Today, so far, 3 hangs, 2 were from Rift, 1 was from World of warcraft. All scenarios was i was sitting in the main city talking with guildmates. No stress or mad activity going on. Noticed my temp was hovering 47-49C.
Not sure what the problem is. Looking for some help/answers.
Note, that nothing was tinkered with and everything would be stock settings.

I was previously using the radeon 5770 from sapphire that i got last year and wanted something beefier. Unfortunately my case is the only one large enough to have room for this card.

It can PSU fault or driver issue, or VGA failure
Remove current VGA drivers with >>Driver Sweeper<< in Safe Mode
then install drivers from msi web for your card, then see how its goes

It seems at normal when running MSI Kombustor except the low benchmark. May be I will test the card in another machine.

From 2-4 mm (Crysis, Bulletstorm and Fallout 3) to ~ 1-1,5 cm (Napoleon: Total War).I cant post a screenshot because it happens really fast (just like someone hiding in a trees with a camera). In Crysis 2 and Bad Company 2 instead a small dots a large transparent nearly visible spots appears from time to time.

All components are running at their stock speeds. Max GPU temperature i've ever seen ~78 celsius
I've tried overclock and downclock my VGA, fresh Windows install, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4 EP with no effect.
Maybe someone have got any ideas how to deal with that?

R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC goes to full power when in idle

My R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC acts normally, when i use the PC. When it goes to idle, the card heats up and turns the speed to 100%. When i remove the drivers there's no problem. I've tried with the different drivers there and on the AMD page.
