8:34AM NVIDIA estimates trimmed at FBR on large design loss; target $11 (NVDA) 12.57: Friedman, Billings, Ramsey has learned that NVDA has lost a large design win at Micro-Star (one of its largest customers) to ATYT; firm now believes that other designs at Micro-Star are at risk, given that they had been an NVDA-exclusive customer; additionally, firm believes NVDA's new GeForce FX line will ramp more slowly than expected due to low yields on both discrete and board-level products; trims FY04 rev/EPS ests to $1.80 bln/$0.61 from $1.83 bln/$0.63 (consensus $1.82 bln/$0.59). Price target is $11.

  • Choosing iMac model.  Nvidia 8800 hotter than ATI 2600 ?

    I'm just about to buy a 2.8GHz 24" iMac and am trying to decide whether to upgrade to the NVidia 8800 Graphics card or not.
    I'm mainly trying to make it as future-proof as I can by putting in a higher spec card now, and also I guess Snow Leopard (with OpenCL) should be able to make much better use of the NVIDIA card than the ATI one.
    I'm happy with the cost involved, but I'm concerned that the 8800 (being a more powerful card) may run hotter in normal (i.e. non-gaming) use compared to the 2600.
    Could anyone offer an opinion on this? Do you think I'm likely to experience more fan noise with an 8800 fitted compared to a 2600?
    Thanks
    Steve

    It does run hotter, fans are still inaudible unless right next to it (ear pressed where it will feel the heat).... now here's the thing: The fan speed won't increase noticeably even under extreme load.
    To answer your question, if I focus on it, I can hear the fans (right now). If I reach up and touch the top (around top left) it's warm to the touch, and I can barely feel a warm breeze coming out
    If i were to fire up Second Life (game) for about 10-20 minutes - it gets uncomfortably warm to the touch along the top edge (quick), and I could feel but barely hear more air being pushed out.
    Me and a friend launched Second Life from openGL profiler - she (ATI 2600, 2.8/4m) was hitting around 40-50 FPS, I was hitting 120-180 (these were on a private estate (somewhat controlled environmentals), both set to level 3 quality - kinda apples to apples as best as we could).
    I can't really comment on the openCL enhancements to come, It's a severely crippled 8800 (GS) - so I'd not put a lot of weight behind the OpenCL acceleration. It's not a Quadro.
    I was under no illusions that it was a gaming machine or a production 3D/graphics workstation tho - it's good enough for casual gaming/semi-pro use with some decent capabilities, don't expect too much from it tho.
    There is one of the mac fan sites that tracks the average days of refresh - roughly when to expect the next big "refresh" from Apple - maybe someone else can remember where it is... (something like mid jan/late spring roughly - with some exceptions).
    Last thing I'd want is to have ordered the 8800 as a CTO (not refundable) to find out 5 days later a 9800 with 1 gig on a slick nvidia chipset was replacing it. And that they had replaced the mighty mouse.
    The iMac 8800/3.06 is the quietest machine I've worked with, power wise - even when it is cranked to the hilt, and it gets hot, uncomfortably hot (that makes me jittery - which is why I'm glad I've got AppleCare). I could run SMC fan control or something to keep it cooler, but I'd prefer to see if Apple's got it right.
    Anyhow... Good luck with it all. I plan on selling mine - maybe not tho, it would make a cool fishtank. (I'm learning I'm just not an Apple person, tho I'm still trying).

  • MSI 990FXA-GD80 / MSI Radeon ATI HD 7870 Hawk / Phanteks combo.

    Hi
    I am in the process of building a new system but have, potentially, run into some problems.
    The motherboard I am looking to buy is the “MSI 990FXA-GD80” and the graphics card is the “MSI Radeon ATI HD 7870 Hawk”, processor  FX-8350.
    Now to my question/possible problem.
    I am looking to buy a third party cooler from Phanteks, the “Phanteks PH-TC14P-RD”.
    I know that it will be a tight fit between the cooler and the graphics card normally, and since the Hawk has the “GPU reactor” (which builds the height of the card) my concern is that it would interfer with the Phanteks making it impossible for me to install the video card using the Phanteks.
    I was wondering if this combo would work or not, prior to registering here I Googled searched like crazy but came up with nothing.
    I would really appreciate some help.
    Best regards.
    Eric

    Since that board has two PCI-E slots with 16 lanes you wouldn't have to use the first slot so reactor is not the real issue. The VRM cooler of the board could be more troublesome as the cooler has two towers and two fans.
    However I found somone listing a combo with the cooler and a 990FXA-GD65 which should have a vrm cooler of the same height.

  • Nforce drivers which one ? nvidia or msi ?

    i need to know which ones gives you max performance ? either nvidia ones or msi's ! .. i had msi nforce3 drivers so i uninstalled them and installed nvidia's ones , i also have a nvidia gfx card , so after installing nvidia nforce drivers i was getting BSOD , so i had to format windows and installed msi's ..
    BSOD = may be msi drivers were in the reg and never got uninstalled properly  so i m gettin BSOD so you get BSOD if u put nvidia nforce3 having a nvidia gfx card?
    so how many of you are using nvidia's ? and which ones better?
    my os windows xp sp2

    I've always used nvidias drivers , realtek's sound drivers  . Now latest 5.10 .
    Xp sp2 no problem here.
    MSI drivers are made by nvidia of course .
    The MSI 5.03 driver package was something in the middle of nvidias 4.27 and 5.10
    when it comes to some of the individual driver versions .
    After all : For graphics cards most people always use ATI's site for ATI cards and nvidia's site for Nvidia cards.
    Same should apply with chipset drivers .

  • Question about MSI/VIA/ATi compatibility

    As you can see, I may be getting an X850XT soon for my 6800gt. Ihave had one ATi card in the past which was my 9800 pro a whileback, and it was a good card, but I did have some issues back then,whether it was problems with VIA or not. Anyways, I have read somecomplaints by other people who say that ATi cards and VIA  chipsetsdon't and especially MSI boards get along sometimes and cause problems in games. I was hopingthat this board can shine some light into this, thanks inadvance! Do MSI boards seem to suffer more with ATi products rather than NV products?

    I've owned both the 6800GT and the X800XT (both AGP) and used both with K8T Neo2 board.  I had some mouse issues when using the 6800GT.  It would disappear during gaming.  This was nVidia driver related.  Overall, I think they are both fine with MSI boards in either nVidia or VIA chipsets.  The occassional driver issue is hard to avoid from either camp.
    I have used numerous MSI boards, both VIA and nVidia, in the past with Radeon 9700Pro and 9800Pro and nVidia MX cards.  No troubles that I can warn you about.  Maybe some issues arise when overclocking?  I usually don't overclock & when I do, it is mild.  I think if you run pretty standard fare you will be fine no matter what you choose.  Just my observations...

  • NVIDIA GeForce 120 or ATI Radeon X1900... which is better?

    Hi-
    I currently have the ATI Radeon X1900 graphics card installed in my Mac Pro 2.26 Nehalem. I'm not having any issue's with the card except that the fans turn On quite frequently, and they're a little loud.
    I'm not using it for any games, etc... My primary use is with Pro Tools (a music DAW application).
    The ATI Radeon X1900 is running a Apple 30" display and a Sony Bravia 46" LCD.
    If I replaced the ATI Radeon X1900 with a NVIDIA GeForce 120, would I be asking for trouble?
    Thanks in advance.

    If I replaced the ATI Radeon X1900 with a NVIDIA GeForce 120, would I be asking for trouble?
    If your Mac Pro came with ATI Radeon X1900, then it needs a card with EFI-32 firmware. The NVIDIA GeForce 120 has EFI-64 firmware, and won't work in the pre 2008 Mac Pro. The only upgrade for early Mac Pros is the ATI Radeon HD 4870
    <http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB999ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTA4MzU2NTc>
    (Despite what Apple says, it will work in any Mac Pro.)
    You will need a Mini DisplayPort adapter for the second display,

  • MSI driver - new NVidia driver: MSI Info/Clock

    Hi,
    I first used the MSI driver for my new MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 AGP. I don't use any other MSI software.
    I now uninstalled this old NVidia (MSI) driver and installed the new NVidia driver. The "MSI Information" and "MSI Clock" tab remain. Do they still work (D.O.T. , etc)?
    Can these 2 tabs only be installed with the MSI driver on the CD that came with my card?
    Thanks!

    Quote from: MrBigA on 10-February-05, 23:31:35
    k tabs are controlled by msicpl.dll and will not removed, you will manually have to eradicate the file yourself. It should be in the windows directory but if you cannot find it just do a search."
    I now deleted the msicpl.dll from C:\WINDOWS but the tabs are still there.
    There is one more msicpl.dll in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
    Which one is the right one? Both? Or is one from Microsoft? Can I savely delete the one in \SYSTEM32 ? Should I restore the one in \WINDOWS?
    Thanks!

  • Nvidia or msi?

    Ciao, where are the best driver for my mobo?  With 4.24 nvidia, i play only Counterstrike, the pc freeze for 3 4 seconds, with 3.13 nvidia the pc freeze for 3 4 seconds,

    Remove the chipset driver.
    Run the setup once it has extracted everything, cancel the setup.
    Go to the folder and delete the IDE driver.
    Then run the setup in this folder, not the EXE file you downloaded.

  • [GeForce 6] Energy warning by nvidia on MSI gf 6600 gt

       Hi, i have a big warning by nvidia saying that the clock of my video card has been automaticly lowered (underclocked) because the card doesnt get enought energy (this only occur under full load). My power suply was 400 watts, i Changed it for a 500 watts power suplly. Had no problem afet i change it. One week later y sold the card to a friend. the warning apeared once in windows, not enven in full load.
    My question is: Does this really means that the card doesnt get enought energy or could be something else?
    the card is a MSI gefore 6600 gt agp 8x 128 mb vivo
    sorry for my english.
    none of the pc are overclocked.
    My Pc: athlon xp 2400 (core B), 768 mb ram (ddr 400), MSI kt4 ultra, Powe suplly 400 then 500, Seagate barracuda80 gb serial ata, cd rom, dvd rw, 3 case fans
    His Pc: Athlon xp 3200 (Barton), 1 Gb ram (333), 450W power suplly, cdrom, dvd rom, cdrw (independant), Msi kt6, hard drive (dont know witch one), 3 case fans.
    Big thanks
    Puco

    Hi, his PC needs more power than yours, and also could you please look at the stick in th PSU and post here how much amps do they have (yours and his), it should be like this: 12v 18a, 5v 30a and so on. And again he has a more powerful PC and ot means that it needs more power.
    Off topic: It happened to me the same two days ago, I was starting to play Far Cry, and the big warning came out, also I noticed that my VGA Fan stopped running after that. I gues my PSU cannot support my rig anymore. I have 6 fans connected in my rig, but I tried to add another one, when I connected the others started to run slowly, I could hear that, I did twice for a couple of seconds to see if I was wrong but no way, I can't add more fans (we're having 33 ° C outside... is getting really hot here  ) What do you think guys? I don't want to hijack Puco's thread, it was just a comment, I know, I have to change ASAP my PSU.
    Kind regards

  • Nvidia or msi drivers

    i was wondering whether it's better to use nvidia's vga drivers od msi's versions. i have nx6200 td128e and have always used nvidia's drivers but now i'm having second thoughts since msi's drivers are optimized for its own products and contain all the supported options including DOT.

    vladomkd,
    Always go with the Drivers from the Chipset maker, no matter what hardware we are talking about. In this case, go with the nVidia ForceWare Drivers

  • Automatic monitor calibration with NVidia GT 120 and ATI 4870

    I am considering purchase of a Mac Pro to use with a LaCie monitor and the Blue Eye Pro calibrator / software. Auto calibration of the monitor is possible if the calibrator / software can communicate directly via the graphics cards with the monitor. DDC CI - a communication standard is used for this. My question is are these cards able to use this standard.
    I have tried Apple Service and Support by telephone and I have tried to find information on the NVidia and ATI websites without success. Neither site seems to provide a way to email such a question to them.
    I am surprised that Apple are unable to provide information of this type to help a prospective purchaser.
    Has anyone any advice or or experience to offer me - it would be gratefully received!

  • Should I use nVidia or MSI Drivers for my new MSI VGA card?

    Hi,
    Im just about to replace my old (non-MSI) Geforce 4600 TI, with a MSI FX 5700, and i'd like to know, should I use the MSI drivers on the MSI CD, or should I just use the latest nVidia driver from the nVidia web site?
    thanks for any help

    Yes,but the drivers 6X.XX are optimized to the Geforce 6 series.I don´t think I will gain any increase in perfomance if I use the 61.77 driver,for example,instead of the 56.63.And MSI drivers allow DOT,which is safer way of overclocking

  • Nvidia Geforce 120 vs ATI radeonX800XT

    I just purchased a new Mac Pro with the Nvidia card. I have the X800XT from the old G5 Powermac that it is replacing. I know Aperture like a fast video card, which should I use, the newer low end Nvidia or the older higher end ATI? I can't seem to find a direct comparison.

    The X800XT won't physically fit in your new Mac Pro, so it's a non-issue.
    That said, the GeForce 120 is the slowest card you can get for the new Mac Pro. If you want a fast card, get the GeForce GT 285 or whatever that is now available on the store, if you find performance on your new machine wanting. But, try what you have first
