MSI RS480M2-IL and eVGA GeForce 6600 GT

For 3+ months now, I have not been able to get these two components to work together. I have RMA'd my video card three times and spent countless hours or work and stress trying to solve this problem. I tested and tried every other component in my system and they all checked out. Finally, I did some research on my motherboard, and it turns out there have been numerous reports of it not being compatible with Nvidia video cards. My motherboard says VER 1.0 on it. What happens is when I play any game or watch any video, the system will lock up and restart, many times giving me a BSOD of nv4disp.dll being the culprit.
Now it turns out my motherboard may have been the problem all along. With the amount of time and money I have put into this problem, and if it turns out to in fact be caused by the motherboard, I expect a full replacement or repair by MSI at no charge. This is just ludicrous.

Josh,
FYI... when I was researching a video card for my MSI board I found a forum that indicated that eVGA vidoe cards don't work well w/MSI boards. I bought a 6800GT by Gigabyte and have had no problems at all. Not sure MSI could get you a board that will work, but through research, eVGA is the only card that isn't compatible w/ MSI...

check this out m8, could be somerthing to do with it.
Also make sure you got latest drivers etc etc.
Try disabling the Nvidia/ati speed up setting in bios. hit shift + f2 alt + f3 I think in bios - brings up these options

Reduced blanking and Nvidia Geforce 6600 GT (MSI NX 6600 GT)

Can anybody tell me whether cards with the Geforce 6600 GT chip support
reduced blanking? (DVI single link with high resolution TFT monitor)
Many thanks

Would you happen to know where I can find the G5 version?
I picked up a GeForce 6600 of craigslist for $30. Would love to install it in my G5 tower (from 2005) to get three monitors running. It's a PCI-e (?) card. Assuming it's from a PC originally, will it work on the Mac?

Anyone with a MSI RS480M2 mainboard and a PCIe 6600GT around?

I got a solution, thx. close...

I have the same setup. What was your problem? I've been having some issues as well.

Incompatibility between Diamond Plus and EVGA 7900GT series?

Hello again!
I began to wonder if there might be a problem with my video card. I am almost sure that MSI with nForce4 doesn't make a good team with EVGA 7900 GT CO SC.
I know that the SuperClocked model has problems (mine has also), but the problem is this one: my 3dmark06 scores are in the 3800..4700 range. It's just random. I always ran the tests in the same conditions (stopped antivirus, etc. and all other background/real time processes that could be stopped).
I saying that this is an incompatibility because I know another person that has a MSI nForce4 board (not my model) and a SuperClocked EVGA 7900GT and he experiences the same problems.
I'm sure that this is not an OS/drivers related problems. I carefully installed all "things".
If you have any sugestions please shoot...
I guess I should be thinking about changing my video card, because I like too much the mobo.
The guy that helped me OC my rig, measured the Vcore and it was exactly 1,399 V. And it stayed that way. The multimeter was a brand one, so I trust his measurements. He told me that this is the most stable Vcore that he has seen in his life. Even DFI doesn't have such a stable Vcore. And he also compared the measurements with the BIOS settings, and he said that the mobo is over-volting. For having a 1,4 measured Vcore, I had to se 1,35V in BIOS.
If you had seen this problems before, please input here.
As you already know, your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Yes, I tried to run the tests without OC and the results remained unchanged for the shaders.
I'm 90% sure that this is an incompatibility issue because I had tried today my video card in two other computers and it ran smoothly. It even supported 568/1840 (550/1580 are the stock freqs, as you already know). Those computers were having Asus A8NE and DFI Ultra-D mobos.
Sooo... this is an incompatibility between MSI with nForce4 and EVGA 7900 series.
I generalize because I know another guy with another mobo from MSI with nForce4 SLI (the simple SLI, not X16 like Diamond Plus) which preferred to change his EVGA video card with a Leadtek.
Don't believe me? No problem, it's your money and your time.
But... If you want no headackes, don't mix MSI with nForce4 and EVGA 7900 series.
Btw, the guy with the DFI board that I was writing about earlier, was the technician that is working at the store from where I bought the EVGA.
Boy... poor little man... you should have seen his face when I told him about the problems with the video card... When no problems were found after testing it, you should have seen my face... Boy... I was so ashamed...
All in all, it would be a great thing if MSI would launch more often BIOSes for their/our mobos... Preferably stable BIOSes, where you don't see things "dissapearing". I paid 240$ for this mobo in my country...
Bas, don't get me wrong. I love this mobo and I would not change it for anything else, but I feel that it's true potential is not fully used; like a car equiped with a powerfull engine, but because of a poor designed ECU, it doesn't put all its horses on the ground.
I repeat, I am not arguing with any one, I had just written my wishes.
Cheers!

Geforce 6600 on rs480m2: s3 issues?

I have the following question:
did anybody succeed to install a geforce 6600 on a rs480m2 without standby problems?
I have installed a xfx geforce 6600 (passive, low profile, 256 mb) on this motherboard. Without the card I have no problems with resume from s3 standby (ati catalyst 6.2, bios 3.9), with the card it resumes from standby but the screen stays black (forceware 81.98). I hope that anyone succeeded and give me some tips about best drivers.
I use the pc for mce2005 and I have installed all possible windows updates.

Update after question to msi technical support:
My question:
I own a rs480m2 mainboard with a venice 3000+ cpu. I use this setup for mce2005. Resume from s3 standby gives no problems when I use the onboard gpu (ati catalyst 6.2 and bios 3.9). When I add a xfx geforce 6600 gpu the system does resume from standby but the screen stays black (forceware 81.98). Is this a known issue with this board and can you recommend what I should do (drivers, bios,...)
The 6600 gpu gives also hangups when watching livetv, on the forum I saw that there are more members with compatibility issues between geforce 6600 and this mainboard. Can you help me?
Their answer:
Sorry we haven't receive the same issue yet. Would you please try to contact to your VGA card vendor for update the BIOS the install the latest driver. Also we would suggest you try to change another PSU with higher power.
Is this a problem of the VGA card, I cannot find a new bios for this card? I use a 400 W Elan Vital PSU, could that be the problem?
Am I really the only one having problems?

Photoshop CS4 and GeForce 6600 on PowerPC G5

I get frequent alert from Photoshop CS4 regarding display driver which say's to
check for driver update and that Open GL 2.0 is not available and that GPU is turned off.
But I can work in the photoshop but a few things are slow and look is not that great.
So can anyone help with this? I can't seem to find anything regarding a solution for this on apple or adobe or anywhere. anyone have some help or ideas. Do I need to upgrade to OS to 10.5 or is it a driver. which I can't seem to find. Also I have run apple software update a number of times and it says everything is updated and good to go.

the 6600 wasn't an officially supported card which shipped with any mac.
but I liked mine in the G4 I had
Ok, try this: Photoshop Preferences > Performance, UNcheck OpenGL Drawing. You don't need it, it's an eyecandy feature for the PS GUI more than anything else.

GeForce 6600 LE and Aperture?

I'm about to receive a dual-core 2.0 GHz G5 and was thinking seriously of purchasing Aperture. However, I don't see this machine's stock graphics card (GeForce 6600 LE) among those supported on the Aperture page. Is this because the card is new and the requirements haven't been updated? If it is supported, does it work well enough with Aperture? Thanks.

Have just posted this on the G5-expansion forum... Hope it helps.
Dear Finlaand
I may have a way through for you and others in the "shouldn't have bought the 6600" and tried to use Aperture.
After 1 month back and foward on the phone to Apple Australia, the best they could do was refer me to an Apple reseller, and order the 7800GT through their service department. $AU 1200 : ( - can you believe that price...
It arrived today! After instal, Aperture now runs with real time adjustments!!
I have had to use the 6600 to drive my second display as it didn't come with the little extension dongle to accomodate dual displays (the 2 DVI connectors are physically too close in the back of the card).
I now feel like I have a fast computer - instead of an expensive paperweight wrt Aperture.
Hope this helps, Aron.

G5 2.3 GHz (2 cores) - GeForce 6600 and a Dvi-D 24" Screen

Hi There,
I have the G5 2.3 Ghz (2 cores) with the GeForce 6600 card, My question is: will it work with a new
Samsung 24" 1920x1200 (model: 2493HM) with a DVI-D port out of the box? or do I need an adaptor to connect them.
a friend led me to believe that the ports on my G5 are DVI-I and therefore it will not connect to the screen unless i'll use an adapter. (Please recommend one if so)
I currently have a 20" Apple Cinema Display Attached.
Thx.

The ports on your card are DVI-I. All this means is that the ports carry both digital and analog signals. A DVI-D monitor simply won't have the pins on its cable for the analog connection - that's fine because you don't need them since you're using the digital signal.
Your DVI-D monitor will connect just fine with your existing graphics card out of the box, no adapter needed.
To see how the ports are laid out, see the Wikipedia page on DVI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVI

G5 Quad (Geforce 6600) and Dell 2405fpw don't work together

I purchased both (G5 Quad (Geforce 6600) and Dell 2405fpw) brand-new a few days ago.
When I connect the display using the supplied DVI->VGA cable, the display works. When I connect them using (about any type of) DVI-D cable, I get no picture. The dell screen just stays in stand-by mode. BUT it gets detected (I can see this when I connect a second screen). And the screen show a test image when I disconnect it from the mac, so there's at least SOMETHING happening...
What is wrong here?
I am first-time Mac user and on edge to go to the PC/Unix world again, without ever looking back to apple-land, because of this, as it is SERIOUSLY SCREWING UP christmas for us this year.
Thanks for your help.

Actually ``detect displays'' found the screen, that was what I meant in my first post.
The issue is kinda solved now, the DVI-Port of the ``brand-new'' display, which was delivered directly from the Dell factory in Limerick, is non-functional.
I tried it with a different setup (PC) and see the same symptoms, which lead me to this conclusion. I will get a full refund and possibly buy a 3007WFP if the price is decent.
It should work with a Geforce 6600 - even at 2560x1600.
Thanks,
Robert

MSI RS480M2-IL (MS7093) and Powercolor X800GTO 16 don't play nice?

I have a MSI RS480M2-IL (MS7093) mainboard. My mainboard's integrated graphics work perfectly fine, but after I plug in the PCIe graphics card, problems occur: screen flickering, slow PC response, CPU usage 100%. I have already disabled the internal video mode, set initial display first to PCIe and set AGP aperture size to 128MB in the BIOS. Please help. Now I'm using the onboard graphics but I would really like to use the PCIe graphics card.
FYI the PCIe graphics card I'm using is the Powercolor X800GTO 16 256MB GDDR3 256 bit 399.21/489.86. I haven't done any overclocking to the card.
Does my mainboard support Nvidia cards? I tried a Gigabyte 6800GS but there were stability issues.

I just cleared the CMOS and the card is working fine now.

K9NGM3 how to enable both onboard video and video card NVidia GeForce 6600

My previous mainboard was K9NGM2 (GeForce 6150 onboard video) and I've used both onboard and external video at same time under Vista.
Now I've upgraded the mainboard and it's now a K9NGM3-FIH (with nVidia 7050 chip). Onboard graphic works as well if there is no external PCIe video card. When I plug an external one (GeForce 6600), internal one disappears. I both tried BIOS settings; primary card is Onboard / or PCIe. No luck!
If there is an external card, onboard video doesn't work at boot and under Vista. There is no Video graphic adapter named 7050 : ( When I unplug it then reboot there is the 7050 under device manager...
What's wrong with them?
Thanks.

when you have a stand alone video card, why would you want to use on board video at the same time? stand alone video card is much much better than those one on board.
