No Video-In signal for NX6600GT-VTD128

Hi,
I'm having a problem with my NX6600GT-VTD128 AGP. The video-in is not working. I have connected my TV and a video camera via SVideo and Composite connectors but there is no signal. I am using various programs like Sage, PowerVCR, Premiere etc and have also selected the proper "source" in every program. Installed latest driver, 66.93 from NVidia, 66.72 and 71.22 from MSI... Of course 2.20_wdm-vivo driver from NVidia is installed as well.
Please advise..........
Thanks

4.04? Ic, didn't know that a newer version existed..... nVidia site has only 2.20 and nothing about VIVO in the beta drivers. I found 4.03 from Sparkle and 4.04 from Gainward...... I'll try these today and post tomorrow with the results.
Thanks!

BIOS for NX6600GT-VTD128

Hi,
where do I find information whether there is a new BIOS version for my NX6600GT-VTD128 (http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=NX6600GT-VTD128&class=vga)? It seems that there are no downloadable BIOS versions available for graphics cards.
I don't have any MSI software installed since it didn't worked.
Thanks!

they generally don't realease BIOS updates with MSI unless there is a specific well known documented issue. If they did it would be through the Live Update Utility and many times the card is improperly identified and flashed incorrectly. If it's working don't worry about it. VGA cards are not like motherboards. They usually get it right the first time.
The only time I see different BIOS's is if there is a different RAM package being used or there is a specific functionality update.
If you want to experiment and take the chance of rendering your card useless, you can look over at mvktech's website...just google.
Make sure you back up your original BIOS because, as Richard stated MSI does not make BIOS files available to the public and it's a royal pain to get it from them...trust me.

Need help ASAP: No video card signal for neo4 plat

I just bought a new case, motherboard, ram, video card, power supply, and CPU. i took my drives from my old Dell and placed them into this case and the MSI neo4 plat. motherboard (specs at the bottom). after getting it to post, i noticed there was no video. i triple checked for anything that wasn't hooked up or loose. everything seemed good. i'm using a VGA monitor. i looked at the D-bracket 2 and noticed that it had 3 red lights and one green in the lower right hand corner. in the manual this means no video signal... well obviously. what does this mean and how can i fix it? my video card's fan is working. i see no spot for a PCI express power input. any ideas? i use my computer a lot and need to do some things before i leave for vacation on the 15th. i'd like to resolve any issues before i leave so i can relax about it when i get back.
thanks,
Zack

well it seems things have gotten worse, after taking out the ram the other day and putting it back in thinking it was a ram problem, which it turned out not to be, it is giving me a ram problem. i just snapped em in a few times in all possible configurations and nothing is changing.

[GeForce 6] NX6600GT-VTD128 Video Capture

As many of you probably know, the v1.08 WDM drivers are Macrovision free. However, I can't install them on my NX6600GT-VTD128. I get the notorious "Code 10: Device cannot start" error when I use them. The supplied v4.05 work fine, but are NOT Macrovision free. What am I to do?
System Spec:
(All the latest drivers installed)
MSI K8N Neo 2 (BIOS v1.5)
Athlon64 3200+ (overclocked to 4200+, I love MSI)
MSI NX6600GT-VTD128
Sound Blaster Live! DE 5.1
200GB WD HD (PATA)
480W Thermaltake PSU
WindowsXP SP2

I have exactly the same problem. I have downloaded the latest WDM driver kit from the nVidia site.
After installation two devices are detected. Going through the installation of the the first device (nVidia WDM Video Capture (universal)), this ends with the message that the device cannot be started (code 10).
The second device (nVidia Crossabr A/V) does install and start.
I want to use the video-in on my NX6600-128E for capturing old VHS tapes.
I have tried the WDM drivers both with VGA driver version 72.14 and 77.72. Same results!
Any help is much ap preciated!

[GeForce 6] nx6600gt-vtd128 vivo driver for windows xp x64 edition?

Are there any (beta or release) wdm driver for this msi's nx6600gt-vtd128 for windows xp x64 edition? If not, are there plans to make an x64 driver in the near future?

I have the same card, and i can't find ANY capture driver for it. Not even the WindowsXP 32-Bit.
Could you enlighten me on where exactly did you see the 32bit capture drivers? (Other than the MSI CD)
EDIT:
Now I noticed you said NVDIA's Website, they're even older than the ones MSI provided on the CD. Older by like 2 years.
What I'm looking for, is a place where I can find fresh new WDM drivers. Or at least an online package of what's on the CD
Drivers should not be availiable only on a CD.

[GeForce 6] Big Problems with NX6600GT VTD128 AGP and Video Overlay

Got trouble to Install the NX6600GT VTD128 AGP VGA-Adapter right.
I already tried out with latest Drivers from MSI 71.22 and the ForceWare 66.93 NVidiadrivers, but no Overlay at all in my Grabbing Software.
It's a DV-Storm of Canopus with Storm Edit installed. With my Ti4200 (also MSI VGA-Card) never had those Problems.
In the Canopus Storm-Edit Software is an Preview-Window to check the grabbing Process. Now, with the new 6600GT Card it's a black screen.
When I press any key, shortly I see a TV Picture. It's an Overlay Problem of the 6600GT.
How do I have to install/configure the 6600GT VGA that Overlay is working fine.
The System:
Intel P4 HT 3,2 GHz
ASUS P4P800 with AGP 8x
DV-Storm in PCI Slot 2
IDE Raid Promise Fasttrack 100
1024 MB DDR400 Corsair CL2
Latency Timer on 128 (doesn't work with PCI Latency Timer = 64 too)
DirectX 9.0c, XP with SP2 and latest Patches, MSI-Driver Version 71.22 (or Reference Driver 66.93 NVidia)
This Configuration is working fine (Overlay = OK) when re-install the GeForce4 Ti4200 of MSI
>>>Problem solved<<<
.....a wonderful Canopus Patch to "clean" the ForceWare Drivers like a big LIGHT in the Nvidia-DARKNESS gives hope and wellness to my PC

I found the solution while I cruised in the forum, I used Driver Cleaner to erase the driver file on my HD, and the installation worked perfectly... Sorry about my useless post
If it can help another one...

URGENT HELP: PC can't post after Bios Update on MSI NX6600GT-VTD128

The LiveBIOS utility on my PC showed that there was an updated BIOS of my MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 that I was using and I proceeded to update using the facility.
Everything seem fine until the system was rebooted, now the system refuse to post. All I see when I power on the system is a moment of power (e.g. I can see the lights on my keyboard and card reader), before they also disappear.
My system is a P4 2.4 Northwood running on a MSI 875P. I had already cleared the CMOS on my motherboard but it didn't help. I would appreciate greatly for any advice.

Common mistake.
Unfortunately, the cure is likely to be painful.
Did you disable your Antivirus and Firwall before doing such a thing?
Video cards aren't like motherboards, and just updating for the simple fact that it's available is wrong regarding BIOS's for anything.
You should have a specific reason to do so.
Now, did you backup your old BIOS?
You may need to contact MSI directly to get the original BIOS and use a PCI video card so you can boot and see what you are doing to reflash your AGP card.
How to contact MSI.
Thanks for the advice. And you are right, the cure is painful, particularly, when I didn't back up the old BIOS and neither do I have a PCI graphics card lying around.
I did deactivated my antivirus whilst flashing, and there was no firewall running.

Compatibility between MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 and motherboard

Hi guys, I want to know if there's compatibility between my motherboard "MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R AGP8X" and the "MSI NX6600GT-VTD128" because I want to buy this Video Card but my doubt is about the compatibility or maybe some errors, and I have a 400W Power Supply.. that's ok for this video card?... thnx !!!

hi, how are you.
wel there are no cmpatibility issue with this motherboard and the video card... or i am not notify about...
but do you have to give "us" (all posiblle reply) more info about your pc, anyway the only limitation about it's the slot used, that motherboard uses agp8x and you have to buy a 6600vtd agp 8x, because thera are one model pci express that's all
the power issue: not a issue realy 400w power source are just enough
th real monster are hte 6800 family that need 470w or something like that to work fine
ok i hope best to you and your newer card, and tellme how works this magnificent piece of technological art(in middle rank) and the capture feature with onchip video processor
byee!!

NX6600GT-VTD128 AGP D3D Problem

Hello Experts,
first I want to show some screenshots to describe my problem.
Counter-Strike Scource
Half-Life 2
Nascar Racing 2003
All screens are taken from a 1280x1024 resolution with 4x AA and 8x AF (Direct3D). After a few minutes this lines flicker on the screen but only in D3D and a 1280x1024 resolution. In Nascar I can switch to OpenGL and everything is fine. HL2 and CS-S are also fine in 1024x768 resolution. Do you think, this is a hardwareproblem or a ForceWare driver problem?
I tried the 71.89 and 71.84 but nothing changed.
My system is not overclocked.
I could not appreciate that in lower resolution and with OpenGL everthing works fine.
greetings

Thx for your response and tipps.
After a few tests with underclocking the card (core & memory) I had no luck and all problems already exists. Also if I disable AA and AF, set 4x AGP only and turn Fastwrites off.
My last try, befor the card goes back to the dealer, was switching the driver. I unistall the 71.89 driver and clean the system with a detonator destroyer. Then I install the nonofficial 76.44. Suprise, suprise, no problems with Nascar Racing 2003 Season and only minimal problems with HL2 and CS-S. A test with SWAT 4 was also successful (befor switching the driver I had the same problems like HL2 ... )
Sorry crull, i think u lost your money . It looks like that the official forceware driver had a few problems with the 6600GT cards anfd many things looks like a beta driver.
I will do some more tests with 3D Mark 2003, stay tuned.
regards
ST
I can't understand how you can have those problems with the same drivers I have used with my NX6600GT-VTD128 running HL2 and CS.
I have tested probably around 7 or 8 drivers, some beta but nothing at all like what you got. In fact I haven't seen any artifacts with any of the drivers I have tested. Right now I'm using the 76.44's.
So how can you have all these problems with the same exact card and drivers that I do not have?
Even if you find it gets somewhat better with drivers, I still think it is hardware related or maybe drivers that are not directly video card such as chipset drivers. Just because of the fact I have not had any trouble like you have had using the same drivers, same game and same video card.
I didn't want to say this at the start but there isn't only software and hardware problems, there is also user problems as well. So I was really gonna put my money on user problem, but I was just being nice blaming it on the hardware. (kidding) It doesn't matter anyway because any money I lose on that bet I can make up for it when you pay the bill I am sending you for my services.

Video-audio signals through firewire?

Gentlemen, we need to export our video-audio signals of our projects from timeline to a DV tape external deck recorders or a Betacam to be recorded into tapes too. In FCP7 we did it through the firewire i/o option from the timeline, but with FCPX we found it is not possible. Do you know if the version FCP X.3 will let me do this task? We edit long projects, as Broadcast programes for Television of one or two hours duration, in iMacs i5 stations.
Thanks to all.

I have the same problem here, having spent much time getting a workflow sorted in order to use Soundtrack Pro 2.02 via exported markers from Final Cut for a dubbing project it seems that when video is output onto a second screen the audio disappears (desktop preview).
Also get a message after about 5 seconds saying that ST Pro can't play the audio due to hard disk not fast enough (I can run a 36 track mix in Logic..) and to remove 'Long files' or quit apps, but am not running anything else and I only have one audio track!
Another thread with a similar issue suggested rebuilding permissions, this I have done and verified drive, plus tried using an external drive for files too. No difference. Seems interesting that the possible link is due to FCP export? I noticed at one point that ST was still referencing the original clips in FCP even after making them independent and exporting as separate files.
Also can't see the Timecode hud when it is on the second monitor when video is playing there (shows fine on desktop on second screen). It's vital to be able to see the timecode over the presented video as this is being fed to a dubbing cabin.
Come on Apple give us some support here as it seems rare that such problems get any direct answers from you! I've just paid a packet for the Final Cut Studio and Logic Studio suites and our whole production is being delayed by these issues (and many others!)

[GeForce 6] NX6600gt -VTD128 or NX6600gt-VTD128SP

A newbie question:
I will be buying a new video card shortly.
Right now I am considering either a NX6600GT –VTD 128 or an NX6600GT-VTD 128SP.
Question one:
I have lots of analog hi 8mm tapes that I want to convert to digital, will the VIVO card allow me to do the conversion as long as I have video capture software?
Question two:
the SP card is $15 more expensive that the standard model. The difference I see the between the two cards is the type of memory; DDR3 Vs GDDR and the SP model does not show the VIVO cables being provided? Am I better off with the more expensive card given what I want to do: import the analog video? And are the vivo cables provided with the SP model?
Your comments will be appreciated.

Quote from: fxh on 11-July-05, 09:27:01
Well I received and installed the NX6600-VTD128SP card. All went well. What I was surprised about is the lack of documentation on the use of the VIVO fuction. For us that know nothing about video capture it can be a challenge.
As I mentioned before on this tread, I want to convert Hi8 analog video to DVD. My current camcorder is a Sony trv36. It only has to connection points, one for video and one for sound. I am looking for some real basic "how to" intrusion on this issue. In searching this group I did not find any real resource material. Can any of you help out and point me in the right direction? Any recommendations will be appreciated.
A have found a lot of video cards have a lack of documentation.
I have never actually captured video, but I would install this. It is for the Geforce 6 series of cards. I'm not 100% sure if it's needed for video capture, but it certainly won't hurt anything to install it. I've installed it on a system with an MSI 6600GT even though I've never used that system for video capture.
This is from the nVidia website.
"This driver supports support video capture and TV tuning on graphics boards with the correct video input connectors and TV tuners. This driver will work with Windows XP / 2000 / Me / 98SE.
Products Supported:
All VIVO-enabled graphics boards."
http://www.nvidia.com/object/wdm_geforce6_4.09
After you install that you need some software that will capture the video.
I would give Windows XP Movie Maker a try first. It's installed by default with Windows XP. It's in the "Entertainment" group in the Start menu. You should connect your camcorder S-Video output to the input on the Geforce6 dongle cable. If the camcorder doesn't have S-Video output then use Composite output. If it has audio output it's probably using a 3.5 mini stereo jack, which you should be able to plug into a audio input on your sound card or audio input on your motherboard.
After making all the connections give Windows XP Movie Maker a try. If that doesn't work then I would Google a search for free or cheap video capture software. I was also told that MSI Media Center that comes on one of the CD's with the MSI 6600GT can capture video, but I've never tried it.

Video shot specifically for Slow Motion playback

I thought I might try starting a thread for sharing video shot specifically for the purpose of playing it back in slow motion. For the first example, I shot this flag flying on a perfectly clear day. We have had a lot of really clear blue days lately much to my delight.
My Panasonic DMC-GH3 can shoot 1920X1080 at 60 (59.94) frames per second. That is frames, not fields. So interpreted at 29.97 frames per second it plays half speed. This was taken a step farther and played back at 24p. So if my math is correct, it is playing at 40% (close enough).
Funny, but the camera actually has a setting to shoot video to play back at 40% but it seems redundant to me. Perhaps if the video was never going to be edited, just played back, that could come in handy.
I used a recording from the US Army Band because I was in the Army and I am just used to hearing it played by the Army Band. I thought of adding the lyrics since I really like them. All four verses. I just didn't have enough footage to do it right and I love the sunshine and blue skies. So here is a link to the four verses for those who want to play the video four times and sing along. Nobody? Are you sure? I did it. Couldn't help it.
I am probably going to put up a couple more copies. One with the Pledge of Allegiance and one with the first verse of the National Anthem. In the meantime, I am enjoying all that blue sky.
If your camera can shoot at a higher frame rate to play back at 24p, please post some examples. If you are particularly good at using Premiere Pro to modify the playback speed of video, let's see what you've got.
The camera was siting on a GorillaPod shooting at approximately a 30 degree angle. The lens was my 100-300 set for 183mm, the equivalent of 355mm on a 35mm camera.
ISO 200. This video has not been modified in any way other than interpreting it to play at 24 frames per second, to trim off the beginning and the end (to eliminate the shaky setup and take down of the shot), and I also added cross-dissolve transitions at the beginning and the end. No color correction of any kind and no stabilization. This is what the camera saw.
I really love the flag of the United States. If you live in the United States I hope you do too. Today is Washington's Birthday. So Happy Birthday to the Father of our country. Our first President. This is my present to our founding fathers on this day, and I chuckle to think about how shocked they might be at the number of stars on the flag, and I am sad when I think how mad they would be if they knew how far we have strayed from the principles they fought and died for.
(I'll bet old Ben Franklin would love the Internet though.)

Steve, regarding my request getting inside flag and changing shutter speed etc..
I have to admit right off that I don't understand this myself as I should...and I don't have a motion pic camera OR the DSLR ....which I can get in April ...at which time I will be off to the races trying to figure out how to use it.
But the gist of what I was getting at ( though hazy and not understood by me ) I'll try to explain...
Motion pic film cameras with the mechanical gizmo that pulls down the film ( frame by frame ) have a rotating shutter ( the gizmo is typically called a mitchel movement I think ). The rotating shutter has a mirro on the back side which allows a person to 'see' via some magic stuff ( prism ? ) what is in the frame ( eyepiece ). I guess it's similar to a SLR mirror but this one spins.
This is what it looks like
So, a normal setting for that shutter is 180 degrees... and it spins so that each frame gets 'exposed' by the open part of the shutter. Then when the shutter is spun to the closed side ( no light getting to film frame ) the 'next frame of film' is dragged down into place to be exposed. So that happens typically 24 times per second. It is pretty fast.
Some motion pic cameras can shoot even FASTER ( amazingly )...and you can therefore increase the FPS. Then as you know when it's played back at 24 FPS in projector, it looks like slower motion.
Unfortunately if the FPS is increased the 180 degree shutter may not be letting in enough light to get a good exposure anymore... so that shutter can be adjusted ( called the shutter angle ).
So a 45 degree shutter would let a lot more light hit the film ...cause it lets more light through its rotation time. This is the part where I can totally confused....and hopefully I'll learn more when I get the DSLR how this is handled with modern digital camera.
Cause, if you let more light hit the film by adjusting film motion pic shutter it stands to reason there will more " blur " from the longer exposure. However, this is offset by the faster FPS speed... so this is why I am curious about it...
As a point of fact motion pic cameras can be synchd to CRT screens using a mechanism that times the shutter to coincide with the horizontal 'lines' of the CRT ( timing of frames of interlaced signal )... and the shutter has many 'angles' it can be adjusted to ..
So, anyway, I guess this is something to explore when I get that DSLR...
I was thinking it might look cool to have slo mo with more 'blur' to make something look a little ghost like...kinda like my flag picture with time exposure...
crazy idea...

Calling All NX6600GT-VTD128 AGP Users -- Post your temperature readings

Hi to all MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 AGP Users,
I've recently purchased a NX6600GT-VTD128 AGP card and have done some testing for a few days now. I read about the BIOS temperature modification and got it done with my card. To my surprise, the temperature reading is way above most of the temperature reading i see from you guys here. Here is my temperature reading :
Idle : ~70C
Load : ~90C
so far, i've only seen 1 or 2 users with the same overheating problem and i couldn't figure out what is wrong with my card. i can run 3dmark, games and everything else i throw at it without any system instability, but the temperature reading is making me nervous. 90C at full load is way too high and not acceptable. i've changed the thermal compound to ArticSilver Ceramique, tighten the screws to make sure the GPU Core and the HSF are making good contact. In fact, i did all that twice to make sure i get everything right. Other components on the board, including the PCB are equaly hot during full load. In fact, during full load, the heat is so intense that i couldn't put my fingers on the PCB or the HSF for more than 1 sec without getting my fingers burnt.
Problems i've given thoughts about are
1. bad contact between the GPU core and the HSF
2. faulty built-in temperature
As for problem 1, like i've mentioned above, i've double checked and reapply ArticSilver on the GPU and RAM chips. Just to be sure, the HSF itself is really hot during full load and quite warm during idle (tested using my fingers . so that means the heat is being transfered to the HSF correctly. (correct me if i'm wrong). As for problem 2, i couldnt tell because i don't have any reference tempearture monitoring device to compare the readings.
Im new to this card so i'm really hoping that more experience users will post something here, including your temperature reading for this card, to help me address this issue. If possible, I don't wish to change the onboard HSF. I'm using a 450Watt power supply. Please advice. thanks in advance.

I have two AGP MSI 6600GT's.
1) Idles 46, load around 62
2) Idles 52, load around 68
Both heatsinks were removed and Arctic Silver Ceramique added. Number 2 above is actually in a colder section of the house, yet has higher idle and load temp. I think the sensors are fairly accurate, but not if you have a faulty one which might be the case.
I suggest you get one of these which I use with one of my 6600GT's. http://www.bestbyteinc.com/prodinfo.asp?number=SEN-CNU-001
It's accurate to within 1C. It is being used with card #1 above, at 46C idle the display is showing around 36 which makes perfect sense because the internal temperature can be higher by around 10-15C or even more.
If you suspect bad contact with the heatsink. Turn the lights down low, and shine a flashlight at the edge of the card. Look at the space between the heatsink and the GPU from the opposite side of the flashlight. If it's not making good contact you should see light between the heatsink and GPU. Another thing you can try is take the heatsink off and clean off all the compound. Put a piece of newspaper between the GPU and heatsink with no thermal compound. See if you can pull out the newspaper with no resistance. If you can't it's making contact. Make sure to re-apply thermal compound before using the card.

Compatibility ?? MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 with chaintech motherboard ?

hi
i have bought recently this MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 and install it on chaintech 7VIL4 with 512 ddr athlon 2800+ 400W psu and cant start the pc black screen no boot only fan working.... so my seller told me that maybe it is not compatible wat do you think about this ???
thanks for helping i try everything except install it on other pc
bye

Just because yours has more watts doesn't mean it is more powerful.
Check out this topic https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=76923.0
Also please post the max amps for your powersupply on the 3.3v 5v and 12v rails. This info can be found on a sticker on the side of the PSU.

MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 & MSI "3D! Turbo Experience"

Hi,
yesterday I bought a MSI NX6600GT-VTD128. The card is running fine. I also installed the MSI tool "3D! Turbo Experience". However, the tool does not show any relevant information: no voltage, no memory clock, no fan speed...

Hi,
As most will probably agree, 3D turbo is not a very useful piece of software. Your best bet is not to use it. There are lots of 6600GT posts here that address the monitoring issues of that card.
For memory clock and OC'ing you can use the coolbit reg update. You can find a good write-up in the stickies at the top of the forum.
Good Luck,
