Msi Ti4800SE VTD8X problem???

Hi
I've just got myself a Msi Ti4800SE VTD8X, and i checked for the total video memory using 3DMark2001, 3Dmark2003 and sisoft sandra2003. They all show the same information, which are 64M, sometimes 32M., somtimes 0M, and sometimes 128M (though not too often at 128M). The information differs each time after rebooting the system.
However, when i play games it seems fine.
Please tell me if it could have been a problem with the video memory, or the software that i've used.
and what should i do?
oh...I'm using windowsXP pro (service pack 1).
the power supply is Antec 550W TrueControl.
thanks

Hola Exequiel,
One thing I forgot, you Desktop. There is no reason to run your desktop at 32bit color, set it to 16 bit. Running your desktop at 32bit color means any games will have to render your desktop in the background in 32bit color even though you cannot see it.
As for overclocking, if your 2200+ is the old Tbred A, it is a very poor overclocker, if it is the Tbred B, then you can really overclock it. (There are manual settings on your motherboard, but if you do not have really good cooling I would not do it.)
As for your Vid Card, you get a great boost in performance by overclocking the RAM than the Core. Before you start, you must be happy with the fact you could destroy the card and end uo with an expensive new key chain. 8o I use 3DMark2001SE to test my overclock. If I were to overclock your card, I would bump the core and RAM 15Mhz the first time. Then from there only bump the RAM a couple of Mhz at a time and run the Benchmark. If it locks the computer up, turn the computer off and lower your settings. If you see garbage on the screen hit the esc key, lower your overclock and test again till you know it is stable.
But remember this can destroy your card and you will be without a video card and need to buy a new one.
Saludos,
Ricardo

MSI TI4800SE-VTD8X & Asus P4S8X-X - Does it work?

This subject is nothing new, but has anyone made this combination work with the capture drivers? My computer will capture the first time after I install the drivers, but the next time I reboot, the computer either hangs on startup, or the driver just doesn't work (depending on the capture driver I use).
If someone has made this work, I would appreciate knowing what version of drivers they used, including the motherboard bios and AGP port driver version numbers.
Aside from this problem and some movies being too dark, the card seems to work ok.
One other question, has anyone had any luck with MSI Tech support? I tried to fill out their customer support page, and when I tried to submit it, received the dreaded "Page can not be displayed" and lost everything I had just typed. I also just called them, talked to someone within 5 minutes, was put on hold for about 15 minutes, and then hung up on. I tried calling back, but was forced to leave a message.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I am using Windows XP Pro. It was a fresh install starting with an empty hard drive.
As for the video drivers I have been using the Nvidia drivers. I started with 43.45, but upgraded to 44.03. Same results with either one.
I had tried the MSI drivers but they didn't work either. After each try, I restored my drive to the "clean install state" using Norton Ghost. I didn't want any old driver remnants to be a problem.

MSI TI4800SE VTD8X driver will not install

There is another thread about this issue, but it doesn't seem to address my problem. I'm assembling a computer. Throughout the assembly, the screen has not been right. In DOS mode, some of the letters are misshapen; some have descenders, strange marks attached to the bottom of the letters, In WinXP, the screen has multicolored vertical stripes, and the screen is sometimes broken up into blocks, with some blocks missing or out of place. I could read it well enough to get WinXP installed, thinking it was probably just a driver problem. However, I can't install the driver. It acts like it's going to install, then the machine reboots. I have used the MSI online update to update all of the mainboard drivers. I'm sure there's something I'm overlooking, but I don't know what. Help will be appreciated.

bob32256,
Try the Vid Card in another comp and see if you can duplicate the problem. I want to see if the problem is the Vid Card or the AGP Slot itself. Once we know that, we will worry about getting the lastest nVidia ForceWare Drivers to install.
Take Care,
Richard

K7N2G + MSI Ti4800SE = no 8x AGP???

Hi all
I just bought a new MSI K7NG2 mobo and an MSI Ti4800SE-VTD8X (MS-8900) and can't get them to work in 8x AGP.
I have enabled 8x support in the bios (ver 2.1) but 3DMark2001SE still reports it running 4x, though it identifies support for 8x
In it's current state the graphics card is running a lot slower than it did in my K7N420Pro mobo. (a 3dmark score of 7000 compared to 10000 before)
I'm using an AthlonXP2400+ 266FSB and 512MB of PC2100 (266Mhz) 2 sticks in DDR slots 2 and 3
Does anyoone know how to make them run in 8x mode?
Thanks in advance

I've tried downloading the 2.03 version fron nVidia and it wont load.
It unpacks all the files then just quits as soon as it starts loading the intall wizard (all it does is show the nVidia logo and then close)
I unloaded the drivers which came with the CD I had on and tried again and now can't load them either, so not sure which version they were
help!

Ti4800SE-VTD8X & WDM video capture problem...

sheeesh... I did everything I know to solve the problem... I read every thread on this help forum having the word "WDM" using the search engine and also on other webpages and forums. I can see that I am not the only one having problem with the WDM drivers
Can anyone help me with this ?( :
The WDM driver fails to load and make my system boot up time to around 45 seconds to 1 minute which is normally booting in less than 18 seconds without the WDM driver installed. In the "Device Manager", I see a nice lil " ! " on the "nVidia WDM Video Capture (Universal)" codec.
Here is what I did to date :
1) I had an MSI Ti4200-VTD8X on a different setup computer and had the same problem. I changed my 250 power supply to a 350 watts as I read it might solve some problem but it did not.
2) I exchanged the Ti4200 for a brand new MSI GeForce4 Ti4800SE-VTD8X (MS-8900) and STILL have the same problem
3) I completely change my "old" P4 1.8 to a brand new setup (see at bottom) AND STILL have the same problem.
4) Why did I buy an nVidia product instead of ATI ? dunno...
5) I have tried to uninstall, reinstall, uninstall, reinstall, uninstall, reinstall... huh ? ?( oh yeah, the nVidia WDM drivers 1.21 and 1.22 still doesn't work. I even tried old WDM drivers as some said solved their problem. Installed 1.04, still the same problem.
6) I have tried the WDM from MSI (was happy to see a newer version 1.27) and disaster 8o computer crash with a nice blue screen and reset itself as soon XP loads this famous WDM driver during boot sequence. Had to start in safe mode using the last known working version... At least, that worked...
7) The only way I can make this crappy driver to works (and that is at 50%) is this way
a) in the device manage, I right clic the faulty codec (that XP kindly took the time to open for me to show me that this is not working...) and go to "update the driver"
b) then I click "install from a specified location"
c) then I click "do not search, I will chose the driver to install"
d) then I can see "nVidia WDM Video Capture (Universal)" in the list so I click on it
e) click "next" button
f) XP reinstall the driver withtout the " ! " once I go back in the "Device Manager".
The only thing with that is that it is unstable. Sometimes it might work for 1 hour, sometimes 10 minutes. What it does is it completely crash the application which is using the WDM, for instance InterVideo WinProducer. And here is the kind and gentle warning message box from XP saying : "InterVideo WinProducer has to shut down. We are sorry blah blah blah blah..." and of course you lose any recordings you were capturing or working on...
If I reboot the system, the codec is once again not loaded properly.
So, can some one help me with this ???
Thank you ! :D

Try and download demo version, and see if you have use for it. I would like to use it, when I want, to watch DVD on my TV.
So now we need MSI or nVidia to make a WDM driver that works with nVidia VGA 44.03 driver.
Thanks man !
I have tried the TV Tool and quite frankly, I don't really like it... For the moment that is... It messed up a little the video settings like resolution and refresh rate. I have had numerous errors also saying to update to the latest version but you already told me about that.
I have noticed something with 41.07 driver that I lost a nice feature that might interest you ! In fact, with this feature, I think you would not need the TV Tool.
I had the option before to maxize the TV out to full screen when the DVD player started or when I watched any video format.
I can have the Windows Media Player (using nVidia nDVD for DVD) running minimized on my main VGA monitor and get the S-Video out run full screen which was really nice. Sadly, this option looks to be nowhere to find with the Detonator 41.07 version. :(
I don't know if there will be a serious revision about the newest Detonator drivers so it can support our card with full features like the full screen one...
When you fix a problem, there is a new one that come out :O
If you get any hint on how to complaint at MSI or nVidia, it would be great to let them know that something has changed since the v.41.07 that makes a lot of nVidia users having problems with the WDM issue.
Thanks again, at least, I can capture some video ! But not able to watch it full screen anymore on the TV out
Let's keep in touch !
See ya !

Help! Pls! Ti4800SE-VTD8X

Help! Pls!
Recently purchased the Ti4800SE-VTD8X card.
Anyways, problem is my system seems to running well slow and i mean slower than my very old PII back up sys!...
I had a Matrox G450 eTv card in the unit prior and things worked fine! I have done a complete reinstall of Xp and things were still slow! Last night i thought i would try the old card and things went back to normal i.e nolonger slow?
Things i have done:
Uninstalled the msi drivers and installed nvidia Drivers and back again!
Changed the settings and only used one monitor...
Changed my Psu
Unplugged all other devices (Sound etc...)
Put some more heat sink solution on the mem chips on the card (Not silver)
Not really sure what else to try? So any help and advice would be greatly appreciated...
Opp Sys: Windows Xp Pro
Cpu: P4 2Ghz
Mem: 1.5gb
Hard Drives: 4 x 100gb Ibm 7200's
Mother Board: 845E Max2 MS-6398E
S/Card: Creative Soundblaster Audigy
Monitors: 2 x 17" Flat Panel Screens
TIA,
Digitech (Or not so as the case may be :-)

Cpu temp is at 49c is that about right?
Ahh...for a P4 it seems a bit warm but keep in mind that ambient room temp and airflow in the case can influence the temps reported. As long as you took your time and made sure you mounted the heatsink correctly you should be in good shape.
As for the Codegen PSU I am curious about the power specs. Is there a sticker on it that shows amps for the +3.3 +5 and 12v?
Codegen has been known to be troublesome in the past. If you start getting random crashes, reboots etc. while taxing the video, you may consider the power supply as a last resort.
You seem to be in decent shape :D
Take a look here, it's written for an AMD system but you can get some good info there.

MSI G4Ti4200-VTD8X (MS-8894) & SOYO SY-6BB m/b

Hi,
I have a PC with:
SOYO SY-6BB motherboard (Baby AT, i440BX chipset)
AGP slot V1.0 (1x,2x)
PIII 550 Mhz CPU
512mb RAM
SONY SDM-X202 LCD Monitor
Matrox G450 Dual Head video card (32mb)
PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 600 power supply
OS: Windows XP Pro SP1
Problem:
Purchased an MSI G4Ti4200-VTD8X (MS-8894) video card.
After installing it, the system does not recognize it ("no signal" message appears on monitor and monitor goes into sleep mode). In addition, a burning smell is emitted from the power supply (??). This happened with the old 250W supply and also with the new Turbo-Cool that replaced it. Both PSUs still work.
The vendor's customer service says the card is a 2x/4x card and is not compatible with my 1x/2x AGP slot.
Questions:
Any thoughts on this?
Is customer service correct on this?
Can anyone recommend a digital video card that will work with my SOYO SY-6BB motherboard (the stronger the card the better) ??
Thanks in advance !!
Happy Holidays !!!

GREAT !!
I also tried an ATI RADEON 8500 128MB, but it wouldn't work either. It did work on an H/P system I had access to.
This is freaking me out. I want to keep my present system because I like the full tower style, and it has served me well..... Tomorrow...
Thanks, Richard.

Overclocking the MSI Ti4200-VTD8X ?

i just got my Ti4200-VTD8X MS-8894 (good card )and would like to see if it's safe to overclock it.
what would be a fairly safe speed to clock this card (msi Ti4200-VTD8X) to ? , as i would like to overclock it to get a little more speed out of it

Download and install Coolbits and install it to your registry by double clicking it...
Then reboot, open Display properties and you'll see a new entry in the settings menu for the card...enable it..
Then tweak away a little at a time until you start seeing artifacts on your screen, 3DMark2001SE is a good program to test it with...
When you start seeing artifacts then back it off to the last setting that was good and you'll be there!!
Cheers!! 8)

MSI Ti4200-VTD8X

I have recently purchased the MSI Ti4200-VTD8X on 4/21 and received on 4/24 and installed the same day. After installation the card stunk I mean it stinks, it smells really BAD like electronics buring. I have been a PC tech for 10 years and know that smell is not a good smell. Whenever I smell it I know that something has obviously failed and it is usually accompanied by smoke. I have never had a device that smelt like this and still worked properly. I had removed the card to see if anything had melted but it looks fine. The card itself has a slight smell it but the smell seems as though it is coming from the fan. I have friend of mine who had bought an Enermax power supply and had this happen and it stilled worked fine which at the time I thought was very unusual and still works to this day. Has anyone else had this happen? Should I return it to be on the safe side so that damage is not caused to any other components if it does fail?

BlackAce,
Yep, thats an RMA candidate if I ever saw one!
Sorry,
Richard

MSI Ti4800SE and MSI KT4V motherboard incompatible?

Yesterday I bought an MSI Ti4800SE to replace a GeForce2. It booted up fine and Windows detected it and installed the drivers. However, on rebooting, the monitor went blank and there was a series of beeps.
The computer would not start. I tried taking out all the other cards and tried the video card in 2 other computers but all I got was the beeps. I took the card back and got a refund as they had no more in stock.
Is the video card incompatible with the motherboard for some reason? Did I somehow cause the card to die? Should I buy another or will the same thing happen again?
Any help would be much appreciated.
My system is
MSI KT4V motherboard
Athlon 2500
512Mb Kingston RAM
SB Live
Network card
56k Modem
2 hard drives
DVD ROM
Mitsumi CD writer
350W PSU
Windows 98SE
Thanks in advance

Thanks very much for your advice - looks like I need to spend yet more money then!
But do you think I damaged the card by not supplying enough current, bearing in mind that it booted OK the first time? Or was it not damaged at all?

MSI TI4800SE supported resolutions.

I have a MSI TI4800SE and my old monitor died recently, and I have been thinking about getting a widescreen monitor to replace the old one. All the ones I have seen have a warning stating to make sure your card can support the resolution(1440x900 or 1680x1050). I do not see either of those resolutions in the manual, but it does say the actual settings may be different because of different monitors. So you can see why I am a bit confused. So if I do decide to get a widescreen monitor am I going to also have to get a new graphics card to fully utilize the monitor?

Clocking MSI Ti4800SE-TD8X(MS-8900)

Hi everyone! My question is: Can I clock my card to 300/650 without any extra cooling?? I have heard this somewhere that with the big fan on my VGA-card I can easily do so, but I thought maybe I should get some expert help before doing so if possible! So everyone who knows wheter it is possible to clock my MSI Ti4800SE-TD8X(MS-8900) (currenlty @ 275/554) to 300/650 please post a reply, bye! :D

ApA,
When you get to those speeds it will be hit or miss. One board might, while an identical will not. It is all the luck of the draw with the RAM.
Take Care,
Richard

MSI GF4-TI4800SE (VTD8X) - White Square in Captured Video?

Hello,
When i try and capture video I get a big white bar across my captured video. I have the latest drivers, and Windows Xp.... any suggestions?
Thanks
Jon M.

Our forum "Search" option brings back a lot of decent results.
Click on the icon at the top of this forum and enter "white bar" (without parenthesis), in the "Search for keyword" select match exact phrase, under "...where and how", select "Multimedia (VGA and optical drives)" don't change anything else and click on the "Search" button.
You should get at least 11 results.
some were reporting reverting to an older capture driver solved the problem. You are on your own, as I didn't take the time to see when these posts were made and/or if the older version of the capture drivers are available here.
You may have to look to a third party solution or a website, like Driverheaven or guru3D............Nvidia may help too but I do not know. Make sure you uninstall the capture driver properly before you install the other.

Msi ti 4200 problems

i installed a msi 4200 agp video card today and have had nothing but problems. on the first boot xp did not try to install new hardware. In the display properties it did not recognize the video adapter. i tried to intsall the drivers from the installation cd but it said it was not the right files and did not recognize the path. on the second reboot no picture after windows boots. i have a gigabyte mb ga-7vrxp and am upgrading from a pci video card. any help would be much appreciated.

Thatz Y... I won't switched to XP until it has really settle down...
lambethduke, I know where you've got things wrong and its a common mistake as I have accidentally did it myself before ... You must have direct right click on your Display adapter driver and un-install... This will cause the screen to go blank during startup whenever you wanna install the drivers again, though you may be able to see part of the windows starting up... Next time, juz un-install the driver by double clicking on the driver and inside the profile click on un-install and this problem will never exist to you anymore...
All the Best... :D!!!
