NX6800GT TD256 problems

hello. I purchase/bought a MSI NX6800GT TD256 and I noticed that this VGA card was made with production problems, and my 6800GT is with this problems... unfortunatelly (blue dots and my computer never initializate) - my power supply is a seventeam 400w and i was tested my card in 3 computers (same problems)
I entered in several forum and all say the same thing, MSI manufactured a wrong VGA card model during some time, with the cooler BBN (of plastic) and later modified the model placing a cooler called Cooper Ultra.
In the image, my model is the first picture and the correct model is the second.
but in the second image, besides in the site of MSI, it shows up the correct model, that is different from mine.
How should I proceed to change the model?
Thank you

It seems that since the introduction of the PCI-e version of the 6800 series... they have also started using the black-reference cooler...
Take a look at the photo of the NU pci-e in the photo...

Problem with NX6800GT TD256 AGP

Could anyone help me? I plugged the MSI NX6800GT TD256 AGP 8x and in the card's information it says Bus : PCIx0. I have installed the latest drivers but the problem remains.My system is: AMD A64 3400, ASUS K8N nForce3, 512 DDR

When I choose platform/nforce which driver have I to download? (Audio driver package, unigied driver or NVIDIA ntune?) I don't know much about computers and sorry for my english, I am from Greece.

[GeForce 6] Query abt compatibility (NX6800GT-TD256 )

Hi,
I wanted to go for NX6800GT-TD256 (or NX6800 Ultra-T2D256) but the problem is that my mobo ( which is Gigabyte 7VKMP)
supports AGP 4x only and I don't want to upgrade my mobo currently, so I wanted to ask will this MSI card work on my mobo ( as I know its AGP 8x)
Pls help.

I posted this query in another public forum, and somebody told me that he also tried to use 8x card(didn't specified name) in 4x slot but it didn't worked. He told me to refer to motherboard manual and the card docs which I m going for... told me to check for some voltage issues .

Very true... But bulk software are often down clocked to get a cheaper price (my friend had one).

Fan problem with NX6800GT TD256

The NX6800GT has a sliding fan controller to adjust the fan speeds. When I try to turn the fan all the way down, there is a really annoying high pitched whine. It goes away when I turn the fan up, but then it is too load. Is this whine normal and does anyone else get it?

I do not think this is normal.
See what others say.
I would be considering an RMA.

MicroStar NX6800GT-TD256 256MB AGP - problems when playing movies

Hello,
I have just upgraded from MSI Gf FX 5950 ultra to MSI 6800Gt AGP, and I have problems when playing all movies.
Movies are VERY overbrightened, and there are some color issues too.
I have tried installing various codecs, nothing helped. {I did a fresh installation of windows XP, and I installed win media 9 codec, indeo codec, and Allin1 codec ver. 60.27 }
i have also tried to play movies in different movie playes {BSplayer, win media player, MSI intervideo}, still same problem.
I never had such a problem with my old FX card.
In PC games, there is no problem at all, all runs perfectly.
Can anyone help me pls?
thank you for any tip.

I can guarantee its the video overlay color profile. I had the same problem with my evga 6800gt pci-e card. Easy fix too. Just reset it.

MSI FX5600 TD256 Problems

Hi all. This is my first time on these boards and must say the info i have got from it is outstanding. Keep it up.
I need some help.... I use an MSI KT4 Ultra via KT400 chipset based M/B with an AMD XP2600+. 1024MB 2700 ram. MSI FX5600 TD256mb G/C. 120gb H/D. Thermaltake power supply 480w. Water cooled.
My problem is that the PC starts up and runs ok for a while but all of a sudden the monitor goes blank. The CPU fan still runs but all else fails. ie, case fans, CD drives, etc.
The only way i can get it to work again is by removing the G/C and reinserting again. It makes no difference if i just turn off all power to the PC. This again works fine for a while and then it happens again?
Can anyone tell me if this is a common problem or what it could be. I have seen others mention the power supplies but mine is not the cheap type and surely 480w is ample?
I am sorry if something here is not listed. Let me know if any other info is required and i will post.
I forgot to say. I have put in an old G2 G/c from my old system for now and have not had a problem so i can assume it is something to do with the G/C?
I do not know if i need new drivers or BIOS? I can never get into the MSI live update for this. Does anyone know how to get them and especially for the BIOS, how do you instal them (in detail, I do not want to dammage anything).
Thanks in advance
MSI KT4 Ultra-FISR (MS6590). MSI FX5600 TD256 256mb. AMD XP2600+. 1024mb 2700 ram, (2x 512). 120gb maxor h/d. Thermaltake Xaser11 case + 480w p/s. Water cooled. Win XP pro

Hi there. Since you are talking about flashing BIOS's, may I ask a question? (OK, another one. )
I was looking through some of my old downloads on my hard drive and in my MSI folder, I came across an upgraded BIOS for my MSI Ti4200-VTD64 (MS-8870). The file is GF4Ti4200_4.25.00.37_250_500.rom, but I did not have an installer for it. I searched the MSI web site, but I didn't even see this file. I wouldn't have put it in that folder unless it came from MSI, so my question is, does anyone know how to install it, or where I can get an installer for it?
Thanks
(...and yes I'm familiar with the possible perils of flashing )

MSI NX6800GT 256 Problems

Hey guys,
I recently purchased this card and I had alot of trouble with it power wise, after reading these forums I found out many others did as well so I returned it and got a new one, this one does not have any power problems however when I turn my pc on all it shows are colors that flicker and change evey now and then in the form of little boxes spread over the screen, am I doing something wrong, what should I do....ty for any help.

Well the place that I purchased it from tried that card and said that they where able to use it and play a game on it, I wasnt there to see it tho.
I just took it out of the box and put it in the agp slot, I tried just plugging that in, and then other things but I always get those little boxes of colors. I saw something similar to this in the NX6800GT 128 card forum, maybe this is the same problem?
*edit* I also just read that it could be due to the monitor not being able to handle the card...? Im using an Optiquest Q71 right now.

FX5600-td256 Problem

Right here goes..
Basically, after windows is installed. It uses its own driver to operate the card etc. I can watch DVD's run screen savers and even play the cheesy games u get with XP.
However, when the driver that is shipped with the card is installed, or I install the latest drivers from the nVidia download section, whenever I goto to play a dvd, do some graphic work etc, the system locks up, either restarts or just runs like sh**e.
I have come to the conclusion the card is knackered,,, or there is some incompatibilty with the board i am using.
I have installed all the latest via drivers, installed all latest graphics card drivers and even updated my bios.
I have the named graphics card and a DFI Lanparty KT400a Mobo
Anyone got any suggestions?

Heres the spec.
Lanparty KT400A mainboard
Athlon XP 2800+
512DDR 400

Msi Nx6800gt-td256

The MSI NX6800GT are this still reference boards of
Nvidia or that have been already updated by MSI themselves?

I think the only card that MSI has updated is the NX6800 (non ultra or GT).

[GeForce 6] NX6800GT-TD256 Freezes with "snow", nv4_disp.dll loops

I have had this card running successfully for a while now and I was surprised when it suddenly stopped working. After a very short time (particularly in games, but just as often on the desktop) the display locks up with a fine spray of snow over the screen. A few times the system goes to a blue screen saying that nv4_disp.dll is caught in an infinite loop. From what I have seen on my searches on the forums, this seems to be an overheating related problem, except that the card is stone cold to the touch (the control panel displays 72 degrees just before the crash, but that is inflated slightly apparently).
I have tried a number of approaches, including installing the 71.84 reference drivers and downclocking the card (a lot). Disabling fast writes and AGP 4 doesn't seem to help either. Nothing that I have tried seems to work, although running the card at a lower resolution (1024x768 instead of 1280x1024) seems to increase the amount of time that I get to use my computer (from about 40-100 seconds to about 5 minutes).
I have filled out an RMA form, but I don't know where to look to find the serial number, I have a fair number of options:
- The large barcode (and on the box): 4 719072009076 and 912-8966-0050410900162 (The number on the box is the same, although 912-8966-005 is repeated).
- Near the DVI and VGA plugs: 4A920100070053ZZ
- On the opposite end there are three numbers: 0064104001972, 900-10201-0007-250 E, and 600-10201-0007-210 Z.
The RMA site doesn't include this information, it only includes information on how to find the serial number on a motherboard.
Any help would be appreciated, I'll fill the RMA with all the numbers if I have to.

We've been plagued by similar problems lately, and it seems the nVidia drivers may be causing problems.
We have been using a Jaton Video118PCI-64DDRTV (or variations - basically a GeForce 4/MX440 GPU) for a few years now in our systems. Just lately we have had problems with systems freezing, or with nv4disp.dll errors etc. One fault mode is the left side of the screen is "fuzzy", while the right hand side has vertical lines on it.
Anyway, after experimenting with various drivers, including the original Jaton 2.1.8.1, the Jaton 4.x.x.x drivers currently supplied with the cards, and the fairly recent nVidia 71.84 drivers (all of which fail with at least one hardware combination), we downloaded the latest drivers from the Jaton website. These are also V71.84, but have presumably been adapted from the nVidia drivers by Jaton to suit their exact hardware configuration. So far, the Jaton drivers seem to fix the problem (but we're still testing...).
One suggested cause is that somehow the nVidia drivers are causing the GPU or other components to overheat, causing memory errors and freezing. Some of the pictures posted by emptyweevil and others suggest graphics memory errors to me.
Anyway, it might be worth trying the MSI website for better drivers, or even rolling back to the ones provided with the card.
It seems that Windoze has an appalingly rude habit of deciding that it will update drivers without notice. Unfortunately, newer ain't always better. {Anyone know how to turn this "feature" off?} So maybe the old drivers will solve the problem.
Anyway, I thought I'd share our experiences, in case it helps someone else.
Cheers

TV-Out and analogue issues with NX6800GT TD256

Hi,
I bought this card about two months ago and am having issues with it...
Firstly, on Sunday the analogue output for the monitor stopped working correctly. All of the pictures coming through had this kind of green overlay (so the text even in bios boot that would ordinarily be white looked kinda green). I tested with another monitor, it was the same. I tried putting it on DVI, and it worked properly.
Now, I want to use TV-Out, but when I connect the TV-Out to the card while I have DVI plugged in, I can't get the TV to display at the same time as the monitor is plugged into the DVI connector (it works when plugged into the HD-15, though again, looks green).
Anyone have any suggestions for what I should do? Can the card display both tv-out and DVI at the same time?
Andrew

Anyone have any suggestions about this?

NX6800GT-TD256 fan starting voltage ?

Hello, anybody know what the starting voltage of the fan is ?
This is the red-PCB adjustable fan version. Wondering if it's safe to connect the fan to a Zalman fan controller (5-12 V).
Thanks

y you want to change voltage?
isn't it quite enough?
right now i am looking for MSI6800GT with fan slider
how's its noise at low RPM?
anyway did you try expert tool from gainward..?
expert tool has fan speed control option and it work most 6800s
i don't know if it works at MSI's 6800 or not but try gainward tool first if you want reduce fan speed .
gainward expert tool fan speed control setting worked MSI6800GT with reference.

MSI Official drivers NVIDIA all GeForce series

Hello all,
I'm new to this forum & my question is -
I have an MSI NX6800GT-TD256 graphic card (mine must be one of the early ones - hasn't got a fan speed switch)
I am using the NVIDIA VGA Driver 82.65 for Win XP/2000 (Update Date 2006-01-16)
And I wonder if I should be using "newer" -
NVIDIA VGA Driver 82.12 (Update Date 2006-02-07)
This info can be seen at -
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=130&prod_no=728
You may be wondering what's your problem?
I was under the impression that driver version numbers went up not down.
I know that the "newer driver" is of a later date, but I still wonder.... about the version number also the download for the "newer" is smaller not larger.
You may also think why doesn't he go to the NVIDIA website & download much newer drivers.
Well along time ago when I bought my first graphic card - a Hercules 3D Prophet DDR-DVI (32 mb with NVIDIA GeForce 256 GPU) I was told by the manufacturer that although the standard NVIDIA drivers would work, I would get better results using the card manufacturer's version of that same driver. (It having been tweaked to run better with their card).
My son has the same MSI graphic card as mine (later version - with switch) & he tried a later version from the NVIDIA website & had problems, & he went back to using 82.65 & everything worked fine.
So after all the above waffle of mine, can someone who really knows the answer to my question tell me -
82.12 or 82.65 ?
Thank you for reading this & for any help you can give.

PS Please don't bother suggesting any Beta drivers

Don't want to look dumb, but I have no idea on how to flash from an USB key, could I burn a CD ISO and do the same? Also what are the exact settings of the bios posted in that thread you just told me? I might only need to set voltage to 1013, everything else seems correct.

Hi pacnow,
Re flash the card which comes with 823MHz with BIOS attached below.
How to:
Create a USB key bootable
How to make USB key bootable: http://www.bay-wolf.com/usbmemstick.htm
Then get attached file, and extract & copy all files nvflash.exe, CWSDPMI.EXE and 103.rom
to the USB key.
Then reboot the computer and boot from the bootable USB key,
when you see A:\ or C:\ type:
nvflash.exe -b old.rom [ENTER]
Wait process to finish, this will backup/save your current VBIOS.
Then flash the new VBIOS with:
nvflash.exe -4 -5 -6 103.rom [ENTER]
Wait process to finish, then reboot the machine and you're done

lso what are the exact settings of the bios posted in that thread you just told me?

do MSI know about these faults or do i have to live with them? buy an expencive comuter and only be able to use excel and words?.
i´ve tried memtest for a couple of hours without any errors, raised my memory from 166-200 in bios lowered them again (dunno why, they are 400mhz!)
thx for all help....

If a problem only effects a couple of games then the chaces are it's the fault of those games. In which case got to forums for the users of those games and see if their are any solutions, and to see which other poor souls using other makes of motherboard are equally affected.
Half Life2 has been plagued with problems (for some users), but users have been blaming Valve, not their hardware makers. Even if a game works on previous hardware, it dosn't follow that the hardware is to blame if it dosn't when you upgrade the hardware.
I'm afraid these type of problem will get worse. Games now take years to produce and the designers can't get in a time machine and test them using hardware which won't exist untill after the game is finalised.
