MSI Ti-4200 TD GPU GRAPHICS "LAGGNESS"

I have bought the MSI Ti-4200 TD about 2 months ago and have installed it to my new D.I.Y computer. But it does noe seem to be running smoothly when I play games on my computer. For example, even for games like Warcraft III, C & C Generals and RalliSport Challenge. I have encounter small jams here and there during gameplay and the worst is in Rallisport Challenge where "laggness aka big jams and distortion" occurs at every 10 to 15 secs f gameplay which cause "dizziness" ...
I have even download the following driver for update on the GPU and things seems worst. After I have uninstall the old driver from my Win2K and install the fresh new driver, I have found that the system does not indicates whether my GPU is running under 2x or 4x AGP under Control Panel > MSI Information. I am unable to adjust my MSI Clock settings as an error message appearing says that "DirectDraw Init Failed. The sample will now exit". I do not have this problem with the previous driver. ?(
Below is my com specs.

Hope someone could find me a cure. Thanks :D

Well... Thanks for your advice, but I have already formatted my computer and re-install everything. Though now my computer and the GPU works well :] and perform rather well, but I will still take your advice to heart when the next time I come across this problem again. )
May I ask to confirm again? Is is that if I meet up with this problem, I will go to my DxDiag and de-activate my Direct Draw >> Restart my computer >> Re-activate my Direct Draw >> Restart my computer. Am I right?
Thanks again for your help :D !!!

MSI TI-4200 Win 98SE Rebooting

I needed to create a Window 98SE disk so I can play some of my games that don't work on XP Pro. I have used the latest drivers, but after I installed the drivers for the card, the PC reboots and goes into safe mode. On my XP drive, it all works great. How can I find out what the problem is? How can I fix this so I can get to playing my games again?
Thanks, Dean.
FYI ...
nVidia 45.23 drivers
Intel 845PESV board with Pentium 4 3.06 Mhz
1 GB ram
WD 80GB hard drive

Ok, my current confuguration is as follows:
Intel DE845PESV motherboard
Intel Pentium 4 3.06 Mhz(533 FSB)
1 GB of Kingston 133mhz DDR ram
MSI TI-4200 Geforce 4 128mb graphic card
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card
Compaq DVD-117 DVD drive
Liteon LTR-48246s CDR-W drive
Sony Floppy drive
Windows 98 SE
Promise Ultra ATA-133 (Tx2)
After some additional research, I believe the problem is with the nVidia drivers. I removed the drivers and had Windows configure the card as a standard VGA display card. Then everything boots OK, but only 16 colors. As soon as I install any version (I tried 40.71, 44.03 and 45.23) of the nVidia drivers, the PC re-boots with a problem loading ndis2sup.vxd. I don't know where to go from here.
The games I want to play are Mechwarrior 2 Titanium additon and Mechwarrior 3. I have tried many configurations in XP but no good. So I figure a drive with Windows 98SE will do the trick. I have everything loaded except the graphics card.
Is there any more info you need to help me?

Problem with MSI GTX 960 GAMAING 4G graphics card - Please help

So I just bought an MSI GTX 960 GAMING 4G graphics card. My problem is that it seems to randomly decide when it wants to run fine at 1215 MHz, and when it wants to downclock to around 135 MHz. Today for example, I was playing Witcher 3: Game was running fine (~55 FPS) for a few hours because the card was performing at maximum. Then, out of nowehere, I dropped to about 4 FPS. I checked Afterburner, and the core clock went down to 135 MHz, while I was still in game. The card is not overheating during gaming. I have the fans set to 35% speed at all times and the GPU never got hotter than about 50c.
I have the latest nVidia drivers installed. I even tried an earlier set of nVidia drivers and the same things happened. Also yes, it is firmly seated in the PCI-E slot and yes, the power cable is firmly plugged in.
PC Specs:
Intel Core i5 Devils Canyon
Gigabyte GA-Z97N-WIFI mobo
GSkill Sniper 16GB RAM
MSI GTX 960 GAMING 4G graphics card
Antec EDGE 550w PSU
I understand these newer graphics cards have power saving settings built in, but I have my nVidia control panel settings to "Prefer maximum performance" and it doesn't seem to help. It seems my card is putting itself into power saver mode at will. I suppose my PSU could be the culprit even though the recommended PSU is only 400w, and I have 550w. Any ideas?

So it turns out I wasn't running the latest BIOS for my motherboard. I updated my BIOS and cleared CMOS. Everything was running fine for a couple hours. I was playing Witcher 3 at full clock and memory speed. GPU temp was hovering around 62 deg c at 60 FPS. Then after a couple hours, the game crashed. Rebooted my computer, and now I am back to the same issue where the card won't run at full speed in a 3D application. Even ran the Valley benchmark tool again and the card didn't increase speed to compensate.
Do I have a defective card? If so I will get it replaced from Newegg.
Also I don't know if I am running the latest vbios. GPU-Z says I have 84.06.14.00.F3
If there is a newer vbios, I can try to update and see if that does anything. I will try anything before returning this to Newegg. My old video card bit the dust and artifacts everywhere, so I don't have a temp replacement.

Msi a55 e33 + r7 260x Graphics problem + amd cpu temps?

Hello, i have some problems with my new build
My system is,
cpu: amd athlon 750k
mobo: a55e33 msi (bios 11.4)
Gpu: sapphire r7 260x
ram: corsair vegeance 4gb
psu: corsair vs450
1) The problem is like this, whenever i don't do anything on my pc the monitor goes black and the pc crashes sound stucks some times and i have to reboot... tried several gpu drivers some crashes right away and some are like this.. is this a gpu issue ? Anyone with same experience ?
2) Second problem my cpu temperature is inaccurate and the only program that display a temp is cpuid hwm, cpu idles at 40-50c and goes as far as 80c based on the program... that was with stock cooler, upgraded cooler with an alpenfohn sella (deepcool rebrand) and the problem persists, temps were similar even with older bios version and the same older version board... is this a cpu problem ?
ps. Prime 95 for 4 hours hwm indicates 80c touched cooler with bare hand multiple times during this period not even near this temp even at the lower end of the cooler ...
thanks 4 any suggestions

Hi,
my idea is that your power supply is not efficient enough for r260x.
Try without the graphics card.
About the CPU temps, try to reapply the thermal paste. (when you've exchanged the cooler, have you cleaned the CPU?)
It also might be the problem with the software (or BIOS). Spend couple of $ and buy an external CPU temperature checking tool (don't know proper name of it).
Power supply is enough for the gpu probably driver issues as other users have the exact same problem with the same card, cpu temps are definitely mobo/bios or cpu related yes yes i cleaned the cpu i cleaned everything and reapplied ic diamond .. temps are the same with stock cooler and aftermarket cooler can't be coincidence + no program indicates temps other than hwm
Take notice i had 2 msi a55e33 one with bios 11.1 and another one which came with 11.4 from factory
Conclusion ? or the cpu is broken or the mobo indicates wrong temperatures

Msi kt3 ultra, msi gf4 4200 tvout problem

I have a msi gf4 4200 64mb card and i have a msi kt3 ultra aru and windows xp,
my problem is tv out is garbled in pal , ntsc is grey (iam in europe), the colours seem inverted blues are red, etc and theres a ghosting effect around moving images like in videos or around the cursor
Ive tried everything from default mem setting , to high performance , tried diferent driver sets , tried windows 2000, tried via chipset drivers, latest msi, nvidia gf drivers, pal b , g , i , 60hz, diferent resolutions, clone view, single output to tv, stretch view , nothing seems to fix it, the only thing that comes close to fixing it is using the tvtool http://tvtool.info/ with color fix correction activated, but the images isnt stable its got a weird strecthing, shimmering effect on the bottom half of the tv image
Iam sure that the problem is not tv or cable related because i tried a friends p4 (board msi sis 645dx) with the exact same model gf4 4200 (not my one) with my scart cable and tv set up and it worked fine.
Could it be a voltage problem? ive even tried upping agp and core voltage a bit to see if helps, and nothing

mhuizing,
nope havent tried a diferent tv , but it should work , i tested the connection with a friends computer
exact same gfx card model and it worked fine!
My old system leadtek gf3 ti200 , epox 8kha+ worked fine with this connection.
Iam using a scart cable to a video , then from the vid to the tv via antena cable
i upgraded and voila, i got some headaches for free :P !!!

MSI Ti 4200 random lockups

Ive been trying to get a GeForce 4 to work in my computer for over 3 months now and I am getting very frustrated. First I had a Visiontek Ti 4200 64Mb with a Soyo Dragon+ mobo and that would lockup any time I tried to play a video game. The screen would get covered with colored blocks and i would have to do a hard reboot. Then I decided to get a new Epox 8K5A2 mobo and used that with the Visiontek card and it still did the same lockups. I sold the Visiontek card and now I have an MSI Ti 4200 64Mb card and that is doing the same thing too. Last week I bought an Epox 8K3A+ because I had seen websites using it with the exact same videocard for benchmarks so I figured it has got to work. Got the board yesterday and guess what, it does the same damn thing as the others. I have a 600W Robanton powersupply that is designed for high-end servers. It puts out 40A at +3.3v and 60A at +5v so it can't be my powersupply. I tested both cards in my parents PC which has a Duron 750 and an Epox 8KTA3 mobo(350W Codegen PSU) and they worked perfectly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Athlon XP 2000+
Volcano 7+ CPU cooler

512Mb Mushkin DDR 266
80Gb Seagate 7200rpm HDD
Lite-On 16xDVD and 16x CDRW
Netgear FA311 NIC
600W Robanton PSU

I upgraded my mobo to its latest BIOS version and it still didn't work so I swapped out my XP 2000+ for a Duron 750 and that still didnt work. Then I swapped my PSU for my parents 350W Codegen PSU and it works , no lockups. I just ran through 3Dmark2001 and it actually made it all the way thru. 8o Now I'm gonna swap the Duron 750 out and put my Xp 2000+ back in and I'll see if that works. If not then I'm gonna have to buy a new PSU. I'm gonna need some suggestions from people who have similar systems(Athlon XP, DDR mobo, GeForce4)

MSI Gaming App - Uses wrong Graphics Card.

Hello. I recently bought a MSI 970 4G Graphics Card. To improve performance/unlock more features, I downloaded the MSI Gaming App.
However, it seem to default to my other graphics card, a NVidia 750TI. For example, the LED option isn't there, the cooling mode only works on my 750, etc.
The only way I can get it to use my 970 (Meaning, access the LED function, and change the mode to Gaming/run the fan at 100%, etc.) is to remove my 750TI from the computer, which I do not want to do.
Is there a way to set my MSI 970 as the "default" graphics card? Or to make the program use it instead of the 750ti, without removing the 750 from my system?
Thank you very much.

It happens every time, even after a restart.
Hardware ID for 750TI:

MSI Ti-4200 128 MB possible overclocking problem

I have a:
QDI Kudoz 7E/333A mobo
AMD Athlon 2000+ (Palomino)
MSI Ge-Force Ti-4200 128 MB
512 MB Ram@333
Maxtor 160 GB HDD UATA 133 8MB Cache
Western Digital 40 GB GDD UATA 100 2MB Cache
SB Live Audigy 2 NX
Nec DVDR/W 3520
Nec DVD-ROM 5500
Windows XP SP 2
NVidia Detonator (Forceware) 66.93
Coolbits2
I had overclocked my Ti-4200 to 285MHz Core and 585MHz RAMDAC using the coolbits registry key (boot settings). Everything worked fine for about a month, I have ran several 3DMark tests (mostly 2003) and many "heavy" games (Doom 3, Far Cry, HL2, Warhammer:DOW, etc) and no problems occured (crashes or weird graphics). The 3DMark 2003 score from 1500 now is 1700 and I am (was) quite happy about it. Yesterday I removed the 512 Ram and re-installed it after a while (had to remove the card also) and the PC, without having any problems at all (I was playing Dungeon Siege a few hours ago) suddenly, while in BIOS and DOS, the screen is filled with white dots (looks like Pac-Man ) and while loading the XP logo I see thin vertical lines (red and yellow) and then the monitor closes while the PC still works. I tried running in safe mode, it loaded but I still had these lines on the screen. I removed the DVD-ROM and the WD HDD just in case (350W PSU) but still had the same story. I installed a Club 3D Radeon 9600 Pro 256 MB and everything worked fine. I didn't install any Catalyst Drivers, I removed the coolbits from the registry and the NVidia drivers, re-installed the Ti-4200 and still I have the same problem. The card looks fine, no broken pins or anything. I also thought about a virus but this can't be, I triple-checked everything I installed and no viruses were found (and the Radeon worked).
I fear the overclocking was not so good after all but I can't be sure.
Any ideas?
Thanx in advance.

Proves a theory im made at least, MSI makes cheap / fault video ram, your card is a gonner pretty much, those vertical lines and monitor shuitting down are known as screen corruptions that occur when the video ram is fried (in most cases), did you overclock it by 10%? Im wondering if you can RMA a card since MSI does guarentee 10% overclock on some cards so I here but I cant be sure, someone else needs to answer that question as for MSI, if your going to overclock, dont buy from them, Im quite peeved at MSI because the memory on their cards cant even handle stock speeds let alone overclocked ones.

MSI TI 4200 - TD8X - PC freezes while playing games.. Dx problem? Settings? HELP!

Hi
I bought a MSI GF4 TI-4200 TD 8x about 2 months ago, and it has been running fine 'till now...I'm having a few problems in a few games (HALO, homeworld 2), ocasionally my computer freezes completely in the middle of these games, and I have to reboot...I've tried lots of things to solve this problem, but I wasn't able to just yet...As I know these 2 games use directx 9, I was wondering if my graphics card supports or is compatible with dx9...In the manual and on the site it says dx 8.1 compatible...doesn't mention dx 9... So I'd like to know if it is compatible, and if this may be the cause for all these gaming problems...If not, I'd like to know what can I do to detect where the problem is...
When the game crashes, a long beeping sound occurs...I think this may be relevant too...
I've updated the SB drivers, mobo drivers, nvidia drivers (tried 45.23 and 44.03), tried changing AGP aperture size on BIOS (64 or 128),

Please create a signature in your profile like mine.
I don't think this is directly related to your video card.
If no help here:
Post this question in the nForce forum too and tell them I told you to.
The reason is someone may have had this problem from that forum but deos not visit this one. I also suggest you post this question over at http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/ to see if they have experienced it.
I know I have experienced this problem but for the life of me I cannot remember what it was that fixed it.
Your sound and TV card are sharing IRQ's, you really should try to swap PCI slots so the Audigy is on it's own and the same goes with the TV card. I know slot 3 is a good spot for the TV card, you may have to swap till you get the best IRQ allocation.

Msi 694D pro and newer Graphics Cards

Hello.
I have a MSI 694D pro MB with 2x P3@1Ghz, 1.5Gb ram (2x512(pc133) + 2x256(pc133), a raid stripe of 2x120Gb WD hdds and a 400W PS running Win2k SP4.
Problem:
I had an Matrox G400 w 32 MB ram and I bought a new GF 6200 card since now even tbs games are 3d and the matrox couldn't keep up.
The GF 6200 is agp 8x but it sais it works well on 4x.
When installed, windows will freeze at startup unless i deactivate "enable agp 4x" from bios, in which case everything works fine except i have NO 3D hardware acceleration... Wich sucks since it makes the gf 6200 a rather expensive 2D Virge lookalike with 128mb ram...
I tested the gf 6200 on a different system and works fine, even on a agp 4x only board (a kt333 msi).
I also put in a radeon 9600 pro borrowed from someone and the results are the same... Win freezes on startup
After some investigations i found out it crashes upon loading "viaagp*.sys"
I tried the latest availeble via drivers and noting...
Does anyone have any ideea what to do about it?
Thanks alot for any possible information.

Well it's old... it was taken from the server along with the mobo...
It is a very solid design and quiet, even after years of work.
Should I buy a new PS?
To get a complete picture of how much power it is used in my box:
msi 964D pro MB
2xP3@1Ghz
1.5 Gb ram - 2x512Mb + 2x256Mb (pc133)
2x120Gb WD stripe
two maxtor 120Gb standalone drives
- all 4 hdds have add-on coolers
1 x LG dvd-rw
gf 6200 graphics card
audigy2 zs audio card
intel pro gigabit lan card
usb2/firewire controller card
1x system fan
... i guess this covers it, but... how come it works when i disable agp 4x mode in bios?
does the graphics card "power down" parts of the gpu?

MSI GE60 0ND problems with graphics

Hi everybody.
I bought my MSI GE60 0ND about half a year ago, and I've recently restored it. This isn't the first time I've done that.
This time though, my graphics are really terrible. I've installed the proper drivers and even tried to use older drivers for the GPU just in case the driver was the trouble maker. According to notebookcheck.net my GeForce GTX 660m should be able to run a game like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive really smooth. This isn't the case, tough. When first starting it out, it runs with around 80-120fps, but after a few minutes, it's down to 30-50fps.
The power setting is set to "gaming". The driver is set to use the Nvidia graphics card both global and in-game. I've tried all kinds of different settings in-game.
Another thing worth mentioning is, that when I disable the integrated graphics (Intel HD Graphics 4000), the Nvidia driver suddenly can't find the GeForce gfx-card.
Does any one have an idea what is wrong? If you need more information, please just ask for it :-)
Thanks in advantage!

What are your temperatures when the FPS drops? Use CoreTemp to measure the CPU and MSI Afterburner to measure the GPU. That's a good place to start. Report what the temperatures are when the FPS drops and we'll see if high temperatures are your issue or not.
Here is a screenshot .
The CPU-temperatur seems way too high, but I'm setting with the laptop on my lap, and it doesn't seem almost 100degrees to me :-D Could it be wrong?
BTW, does anything else seem weird to you?
And thanks for the help both of you! :-)

MSI GE70 2OE-011NE gpu problem

Hi! i bought a Msi Ge70 with a gtx765m today and as with every new computer i buy i try this windows performance tool to see if its good or bad, and with this my gpu is wow im kinda chocked of the results. I get for gfx 4.3 and for gaming like 6.4 and with my old laptop with a gt 635m i get 5.0 for gfx and 6.6 for gaming whats up with this?
Since i figure that this ms thingy might not be the best to check it on i downloaded 3dmark, really dont know what my results should be but i checked a computer with same specs and that one got like 30% more than mine.
3dmark.com/3dm/1276250
If u check this one the gpu core clock is 405 mhz is this right? ive read something about 850 mhz + boost.
Sorry for the spelling my english isnt the best
Peace

The Windows score is really all bull crap. It doesn't mean anything. Yes, it sort of does, but that's just it, when you run that test, it doesn't use the NVidia GTX765M, it ends up using the Intel iGPU, which sucks. This explains the really low rating, instead of a much higher one that might be expected.
Your older laptop with a GT635M got higher scores because it probably did not use Optimus technology, and therefore was ALWAYS using the GT635M, and would always get good performance (relatively anyway) because of that.
The GE70 uses NVidia Optimus technology to switch between the Intel iGPU (on the CPU) and the GTX765M.
I would ignore the Windows score. On my GT70 0NE with a GTX680M, my desktop graphics score is a 5.5, whereas every other score is 7.1 or higher. If I force it to run with the NVidia enabled (which is possible) it will be much higher, I just don't bother because again, it's a rather meaningless score.
Enjoy the new laptop, you'll notice it more in games and such when compared to the old one!
