Nvidia GTX 570 Twin Frozer II -- Do I need a better power supply?

So I'm looking to upgrade my GeForce 9600 GT, and I found that the GTX 570 was the best bang for my buck. Originally I was recommended the GTX 560 ti 448, but a lot of the reviews say that it is not a stable card and that it crashed and causes many problems after like 2 months (can anyone confirm this?)
Anyway, the 570 is better anyway, and I can shell out a bit more cash to buy it. Right now I have a 500 watt nzxt power supply. I'm worried that it might not be enough for this card. I really don't know too much, so if using this power supply is fine, risky, or a complete no-no, then please explain why (I like to learn.)
I'm guessing you'll need some specs so here you go.
Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67GHz
15.0 GB Triple-Channel DDR3 @ 534MHz
MSI MSI X58 Gold(MS-7522) motherboard
current graphics card: 1024MB GeForce 9600 GT
If there is anything else you need then let me know. Thanks to everyone in advance!

Yup xmad is right
Theorically GTX570 has 2x6pin = 2x75 Watt which is 150 Watt and added PCIExpress slot power at 75 Watt, so total GTX570 power consumption is 225 Watt. Your rig doesnt only has Video card right? You have processor, HDD or SSD, Fans, etc so just add more about 150 - 200 Watt again there you have total of 225 + 200 = 425 Watt just like Nvidia says minimum is 550 Watt PSU but remember its only quick count not close to reality .... and for better long life, again like xmad said before try to get 600 - 700 Watt PSU. Like Corsair TX series or better (HX & AX series). Others brands also good like CoolerMaster silentpro Gold, Enermax, Seasonic X760 modular you choose.

Gtx 570 twin frozer buggy artifacts with less than 2 year usage

Hey friends,
I have purchase MSI geforce 570 gtx twin frozer after reading too many good things about it. MSI is famous as being the best quality brand for VGA boards but i had no luck with my first purchase of the brand. I'm currently using it now, it allows me to use web and other low resources apps with no problem but any game that I play, after 2 -3 mins of playing, it gets my screen full of weird colorful artifacts and freezes. Sometimes it sends me to desktop with a message "the display driver stopped working and recovered itself" (something along these lines, i use windows in portuguese).
What can be done in this case? Did i just lose my VGA with less than 2 years use? I'm searching for the manuals/box for it to check the warranty period, but until i find it could you please tell me if i still can get help from warranty?
Thanks in advance.
Hardware: asus p5e3 deluxe wi-fi , 8gb corsair dominator DDR3 , win 7 x64

>>How to contact MSI.<< to ask for rma procedure.
To check >>use MSI Afterburner<< and reduce gpu clockrate to 732Mhz or below and retry. If no help >>Clear CMOS<< and retry. If still no help try with a singsle stick of ram. Test both sticks individually.

Geforce GTX 570 Twin Frozr III PE/OC and BSOD

Hi,
I have an MSI Geforce GTX 570 Twin Frozr III PE/OC which appears to be causing system instability (graphical corruption upon boot i.e before windows), and BSOD. It typically occurs from a cold boot resulting in BSOD after the Windows logo. This will occur 2-3 times. The system then runs stably.
I have tracked this problem down to this card when running at x16 mode in my primary PCIe slot (slot 2, x16_1) on my motherboard. It does not occur if the card is in slot 5 (x16_2) where it only runs at x8 speed (2.5Gb/s rather than 5Gb/s). This does not occur if I place a borrowed Geforce GTX 260 in the primary PCIe slot (it runs at x16 fine and causes no such system instability).
I have tried out various mobo BIOS updates, checked all my system files, updated (and rolled back) my NVIDIA drivers, and checked my memory for errors with Memtest 86+. I cannot find any updates to my video card BIOS.
Can I assume the card is faulty, or does anyone have any other possible solutions?
Spec is:
Windows 7 64-bit
Intel I5-2500K
Asus P8Z68V-Gen 3 mobo
8Gb Corsair DDR3 1800 mem
MSI Geforce GTX Twin Frozr III PE/OC
Cheers!

Its a Corsair 750TX V2 (750 watt). I am also running 1 SSD, 2 hard drives and a blue-ray optical drive. You don't think its too much for the PSU do you?
The PSU its plenty enough
Quote
No I haven't tried it on another computer and I don't think its very likely I'll get the chance.
there is not much options then, except to RMA the card and to hope the problem to be there.
[else the problem will remain]

This is my experience with MSI, and their NVIDIA GTX 570 reference card.

Hello my name is James king.
and This is my experience with MSI, and their NVIDIA GTX 570 reference card.
(5/27/12) Day one. I update my driver from Beta 301.24 To WHQL 301.42. and as you would expect, it worked. so i restart and go play kerbal space program (if you haven't played this go, play it now i love it) 5 minutes later it starts artifacting, eg. textures stretching, random green spots. "ugh" so i start troubleshooting, reinstall revert and so on. later i give up and go play Portal 2, i load the game opening screen i see lots (100-250) of little flickering green dots. first instincts says its the cable, test nope. then maybe the screen, test nope. i keep testing throughout the night, to no avail.
(5/28/12) so to the internet, for help. 3 hours later nothing, but people with bad cards. at opening i call NVIDIA Tech Support, they say to call MSI so i do. 3 calls no pick up, 4th call and i get a "Support technician" who is no help, says to fill out a RMA form online. and so i do more troubleshooting for the rest of the day. and i give up, and go to bed.
(5/29/12) i fill out a RMA form, end of day i get an email from MSI that says; "Dear Valued Customer [email] your RMA is pending approval, and you will get an email within 1 weak with shipping information.
(6/1/12) shipping information, instructions, but no shipping label.
(6/4/12) i ship the card, via UPS
(6/12/12) after using the most round about route eg. it got to MSI.

(6/14/12) email from MSI, says it is in procesing.
(6/20/12) email from MSI, saying they shipped it and that [this] is the tracking number.
(6/26/12) end of day. i receive the card, and see the case is badly scratched. i install it in my pc and hey it worked (for now). watch some YouTube, and go to play skyrim. start up load my save and i make one step, and my pc hard freezes. "sigh" half an hour later, i give up and go play minecraft 10 minutes in, and it hard freezes. so now more troubleshooting,5 hours later no luck.
(6/27/12) i have called MSI Tech Support 2 times, when they picked up the phone they say to call customer service. 7 calls later no pickup.
and that is it MSI have sent my on the run around too long.

MSI nVidia GTX 560ti Twin frozr III loss of output

Hi folks,
I recently needed my monitor to test another rig and upon plugging it back in I discovered my MSI nVidia GTX 560ti Twin frozr III no longer has video output, I have tried different outputs, different cables, different displays and different motherboard slots to no avail. Had a search around and couldn't find any other instances of this. The card is 2 years old now but has always functioned perfectly (apart from the well publicised memory temperature problem). Any ideas what might be causing this issue?
Regards,
hotrats
Specs:
Windows 7 PRO SP1 64bit
AMD FX-8350 8 Core Black Edition Processor 4.57gHz OC
ASUS M5A99X EVO Motherboard R2
MSI nVidia GTX 560ti Twin frozr III
Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB DDR3
Thermatake 750W Evo_blue 2.0
I'm assuming drives and case aren't the issue so not listing them.

The card is 2 years old, but how long wasn't it used for and did you ever had any problems with it?
First of all, I would reset CMOS >>Clear CMOS Guide<< so all the OC is removed (write down settings of CPU OC if you want to use it later on).
Then (I don't know Asus boards) would look through the BIOS if it recognises the card. Possible you should get rid of the possible dust in PCIe slot?
Also: while card is plugged in, run computer and: try all the video ports, even those on motherboard (maybe board doesn't recognise the card and wants to run integrated gpu if there is any).
Last but not least: ask a friend/colleague if you can test your card in their computer. Best if it would be different brand of motherboard, and power supply. Possibly power supply is screwed up somewhere (broken connection)and doesn't deliver enough power to give output.
Does the card start up when you run the PC (fans of the card)?

GTX 570 Twin Frozr II OC Fan

The fan on my GTX 570 Twin Frozr II OC is locked in between 40%-85%. I would like to have the full range of 30%-100%. I believe I have the latest bios. I don't want to have follow the process listed by msi for updating my bios, which involves downloading one program so you can configure something so you can use another program......
EVGA has a simple executable file which unlocks the fan speeds. Does MSI have something similar?

Quote from: dieukroman on 13-March-11, 21:56:02
i can feel it , i pass my finger near the fan
then it could be your illusion/imagination...
what hapends if you force/apply max FAN speed from AB?
Does the FAN2 will speed up or keep the same state?
And FAN1 will speedup too?
Apply max FAN RPM from AB, then observe and compare both FAN's again

GTX 570 Twin Frozr III POWER Edition

Hey guys,
i just got the GTX 570 Twin Frozr III POWER Edition and i love the card but it seems to run quite loud at fan speed above 48% so i made a custom fan control in afterburner
and the card runs at 71C - 75C under full load in games(crysis2, witcher 2), are those temperatures too high? if not what is the max safe temp i should be running at?
thank you =]

Quote from: Henry on 31-July-11, 05:13:04
Those temps are normal under a heavy load, nothing at all to worry about.
some people said i can lower the fan speed and just let the card run at 80C, so my last question is:
Is 80C under load an acceptable temperature to run this card at for let's say 4 non-stop gaming hours a day?
and thanks for reply ^^

GTX 570 Twin frozr II driver crash

Hello When i play dx 11 games my driver says "Display driver stopped responding and has recoverd" it happens really frequently, it have done it since i re installed my OS i got a GTX 570 twin frozr II and i run driver 285.38(beta driver for bf3) also tried the one below it nothing helps it still crash.
Thanks you!

Quote from: Xerion on 30-September-11, 01:37:47
Hi svet, i played Crysis 2, i completet crysis 2 dx 10 everything max 2 weeks ago no crash, but when i play World of warcraft dx 11 it crash i think that is odd because World of warcraft take less GPU power than Crysis 2..
Yep, looks to be other reason like game specified problem..
try latest patch for this game, reintall the game, try different vga drivers.
or contact blizzard support if nothing helps

Unstable GTX 570 Twin Frozr III OC

My brand new MSI GTX 570 Twin Frozr III OC is unstable. When under load suddenly the sound hangs and the GTX shuts down for a second and the screen goes black. After this it works again. Some games can handle this, but with others I'm back @ desktop.
My rig:
- Intel i7 2600K
- Asrock P67 Pro3 B3
- Corsair Vengeance 2 x 4GB
- Cooler Master Powersupply Realpower Pro 700W Modular
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit)
Is this problem due to the known stability issues and should I have a VBIOS update? If so which one, because GTX570 Twin Frozr III OC isn't on your BIOS update list.

Back again...
Today I installed a new PSU (Corsair GS700 single rail with 56 A over +12V) and started playing Bioshock 2 because the error used to occur the most often playing that game.
I played half an hour feeling more and more relieved when suddenly..... same sh*t happened.
Windows crash report had the following to say:

Additional Information 4:   0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789
I think we can rule out that it's a PSU problem. My mobo, processor and RAM are also new so maybe the problem is not the card. I already tested the RAM with memtest with no errors.
I will try to find another PC to test the card in. Can I do something else to maybe test the motherboard or processor?

GTX 570 Twin FrozR II cold boot noise

The card is just under 3 months old. Should I RMA it? Does MSI do Advanced RMA?
