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

Need help overclock the MSI N580GTX Lightning Xtreme Edition !

I want to overclock this card MSI N580GTX Lightning Xtreme Edition (MSI N580GTX Lightning Xtreme Edition GeForce GTX 580 (Fermi) 3072 MB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card), but I don't know how far I can get. Can you help me overclock this to get a maximum performing? and how can I do that? can you guide me?
what is temperature should be consider over heat and might damage card?
After overclock, can I keep that always in 3-5 days without shutdown computer?
Here is default Corelock 832, Shaderlock: 1664, memory clock 2100
Also, when I click the "K" to show MSI Kombustor: I see Core: 416, and GPU Throttling -416Mhz. What is happening? is that graphic card has problem? it doesn't run fully 832mhz.
Here is information of my computer:

Playing aan entire level of Crysis or Crysis2 with extreme settings is a very sure way to test. A multiplayer round of BF3 at max settings is also a good test.
If you got the max stable clockrates without overvolting and temps are fine. Go on adding voltage in small steps and agin try the highest max clockrate of any voltage step. That way you'll find the total max clockrate. At some point adding voltage will have no effect anymore and that is the highest clockrate. Remember that voltage unlike just higher clockrates will increase the temps massively.
Agreed with flobelix
Crysis 2 with ultra setting and set Vsync to Disabled is a very hard test in real life application, I don't use furmark or kombustor. To test stability first I run Vantage and 3DMark2011 then playing Crysis 2 about 2 - 3 hours every day for aweek or 2 weeks and if pass then I call it stable
I use GTX580 Lightning and at stock volt I can do 920/2200 with all little DIP switches turned ON/Enabled/Unlocked excluding Xtreme cooling LN2 DIP switch since I use normal air cooling and not LN2. If I let all DIP switches to their stock/OFF even at 900MHz I can't pass Vantage.
For safe daily OC better stay under 80c for your core temp and under 70c for your VRM & Memory temp also do not use beyond +200mv for your core voltage (+200mv is the max value)
Note : For 24/7 I use 980/2300 with +112mv/+40mv. VRM and memory temp are under 60c and Core temp is under 80c.

Overclocking the MSI KT3 Ultra ARU

Hey,
I read some reviews with the kt3 Ultra ARU and i have read that people have been getting the FSB up to around 167? Yet, i fail to get it past 151? Any suggestions?
-Knowa-
MSI KT3 Ultra ARU
AMD xp 1800+
768 mb pc2100
TDK 40x12x48
Lite ON DVD
ATI Radeon 8500 (GIGABYTE)

you would have more chance of it booting at 166
than 151 as the divider kicks in at 152
at 166 fsb your video and pci slots are at the correct speed
it can be done if you have been lucky with the cpu you gotlink

Slow turn-up of monitor on Ti4200 VTD8x

Does anyone think there is a bad card problem here? I've built my first pc and the MSI ti4200 VTD8x seems to be having very inconsistent but slow turn-up of the monitor's display. It's slowest after the pc has been off for a long time and is cold. Works quicker on restarts after it has been on awhile.
Sometimes it takes over a minute or two and the actual Windows XP login screen is the first appearance of anything on the monitor. The monitor has Energy Star and doesn't come out of ready mode and power on until most of the boot process is done. This turn-up seems to be getting slower each day (just built pc 20 days ago). The monitor is a Sony CPD 200es. The monitor had no problems like this on the Dell it was used on before.
I've installed the MSI drivers for XP and everything works great once the display is up. I have an Antec True Power 380W power supply and an Albatron PX845PEV Pro mobo (ti4200 set at AGP4X). According to the mobo bios, the AGP is getting 1.51 Volts.
Should I be sending the card back or what? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Guys,
Thanks for helping out those of us in need.
To NovJoe:
1) Try updating your GPU's driver.
I downloaded MSI's latest driver listed (Nvidia 4.1.0.7) and it shows working properly. I did not install the newest BIOS that was on MSI's web. I also loaded the video capture driver from MSI and the "Currently installed programs" list shows both Nvidia WDM Drivers and Nvidia Windows 2000/XP Drivers loaded.
2) Try throwing in Antec 430watts PSU.
I'd like to keep the new Antec case I just bought with 380W. I don't plan on adding any other HW but a DVD R/W drive next year.
3) Try updating your mobo's driver inclusive of AGP Gart driver.
I did download and install the newest XP drivers from Albatron and also a BIOS update that installed without any problems. But I don't know if there was any AGP Gart driver included. I'll contact Albatron to find out. What specifically can I ask them to tell me to determine if AGP Gart was included in the XP driver?
For Richard:
As mentioned above, I believe I loaded all the current drivers available. That also includes the Intel's latest IAA driver.
Here's the list of IRQs and the shared ones seem to point to the problem. The MSI card and a USB controller share an IRQ. I have some of the 6 USB port not responding to a MS Sidewinder joystick. Microsoft Catalog says the joystick and driver are XP compitable but, I had to try installing many times before it finally worked (listed as a Human Interface Device) and yet does not show attached to any of the USB ports in the Device Manager listing!?

Msi ti4200-8x and games bundle

Hi,
just bought a msi ti4200-vtd8x, and started to play with the bundled software.
Some of the bundled games do not run at all !
these worst are : sum of all fears demo
and ghost recon.
These install but crash during the game start, just a short moment a black screen, and the back to the desktop.
my testing sofar :
Not running in my msi 845e max2blr + ti4200-vtd8x with win98se
Not running in my msi 845e max2blr + ti4200-vtd8x with win2k
Not running in my ecs k7s5a + ti4200-vtd8x with win98se
They run in my asus k7v133 + matrox marvel G400 with win98se, although a bit slow...
So, do I have a defective videocard, or is the gamesbundle not tested by MSI ?
George

Richard,
the rest of the hardware is not very interresting,
My P4 system :
floppy drive.
p4 2.4Ghz 533 fsb + 2 * 512 Mb ddr
MSI 845e max2 blr (lan,sound,raid etc all used)
2 80G maxtor in raid0
1 80G maxtor for the OS (win98SE or win2k sp2)
liteon DVD
liteon cdrw temporarily removed (something wrong with it)
and 1 PCI card : realtek 8029(AS) because I needed to connect to a BNC network.
And of course the MSI ti4200-vtd8x
All bundled in a AOPEN H600A housing with 300W supply.
After inserting the ti4200, I had a stable system, until I
closed my computer case. So I have added some extra fans.
This system refused to run some of the bundled games (SOAF and Ghos recon) using win98se or win2k.
all drivers from the MSI installation CD's
So I tried another system :
amd athlon tb 800Mhz + 256Mb sdram
floppy drive
ECS k7s5a (lan, sound)
20 G maxtor with win98se
AOPEN DVD
another AOPEN housing with 250W power supply.
and I put the TI4200 in this system.
same games refused to run.
So I tried on a third system, to check if the fault is in the games :
amd athlon xp 1800 @ 1.6Ghz + 1G sdram
asus a7v133 + raid
terratec 1024 sound
realtec 8139 lan
1 40gb maxtor
1 80gb maxtor
2 40gb maxtor in raid0
asus dvd
liteon cdrw
matrox marvel G400TV 16Mb agp videocard.
300W or 350W powersupply.
and those MSI bundled games run !
so this leaves 2 possibilities :
- msi ti4200-vtd8x is defective
- bundled games do not work with this newer agp 8x card type.

Share overclock #'s Ti4200-VTD8X (8894)

Would you please share with me your overclock numbers? I have the 128mb Ti4200-VTD8x video card. Motherboard is Shuttle KT266A with 1800+ AMD chip. I am running motherboard with BIOS driven optimized settings with no additional overclock in motherboard bios.

I recently built a system (specs below) and installed this card (MSI GF4 Ti4200 VTD8X MS8894, 128MB DDR), and when I try to use Live Update 2 (version 3.33.000, from the CD that came with the card), I get the same message:
"Warning!!! Your Display Card does not support MSI Live Update 2 function. Note: MSI Live Update 2 supports the Display Cards of MSI only."
I'm using the drivers/BIOS that came on the CD: Driver version 6.13.10.4107, BIOS version 4.28.20.05.11. I see on the nVidia site that they have the 4109 drivers out now, should I try those? ?(
I have also made sure to do the suggested modifications to IE (and I don't have PC-cillin installed):
"Note: In order to operate this application properly, please note the following suggests.
-Set the IE security setting 'Download signed ActiveX controls' to [Enable] or [Prompt]. (System default is [Prompt]).
-Disable 'WebTrap' of PC-cillin(R) or any web based anti-virus application when executing MSITM Live Update 2TM.
-Update Microsoft® Windows® Installer"
I downloaded a newer version of LIveUpdate (3.35.000), and installed it (after completely uninstalling the old version), and got the same results. Nothing on my system is currently overclocked.
Help!

Which Winproducer comes with the Ti4200 VTD8X???

I can't burn cds with the WinProducer 2.0 that came with my MSI Ti4200 VTD8X video card, OEM. I have to create a vcd on my hard drive, then burn it with other burning software. Then the chapter links don't link to anything. I have an NEC 10X16X32 CDRW, and EZ CD creator and Nero.
2 questions:
1. Which WinProducer comes with the card? Winproducer 2, WinProducer 2 CD, or WinProducer 2 DVD? It never specifies which one anywhere I go.
2. Is there something I should be doing to get it to burn? It says authoring was successful when I put vcd files on my hdd, but not when I try to burn.

I was in the Apple Store today (for the Leopard launch) and they are still shipping the old keyboard with MacPros. Surely it's about time for them to update the keyboard on their top-of-the-line model. My wife has this keyboard with her G5 and it is the worst of any Apple keyboard I've used. I'm ready for a new Mac, but I'm not going to spend an additional $50 for a decent keyboard. I guess I can wait a little longer (maybe the miniPro will be out soon).

Green vertical lines in 3dmark03 and Temple of Elemental Evil with ti4200 VTD8x (ms-6712)

Hello,
I was wondering if someone has any idea why I have the following problem:
I purchased an MSI ti4200 VTD8x (MS-6712) video card a little while ago. I managed to install it with no problems and everything seems a-okay except for specific situations. I installed the game Temple of Elemental Evil and when I tried to play it, everything seems to work except I get green vertical lines over the entire screen while playing. Does anyone know what is causing this?
I tried 3dmark03 and I get the same thing on certain parts of the screen during the tests. E.g. during the first test (the WWII aircraft battle) I get vertical green lines just on the parts of the screen where the exhaust from the engines should be.
Any ideas?
Here are my specs:
Athlon XP 1800
MSI KT4V-L m/b
512 megs generic ddr333 ram
Winxp pro
DirectX 9
what else do you need to know?
Thanks in advance,
Gerby

What is the difference between DirectX apps and OpenGL/SDL apps? How can I tell the difference?
CPU and ram are not overclocked (again, I don't know how).
I just installed the latest drivers from Nvidia (v45.23) and still have the same problem in 3dmark03. I also used Driver Cleaner 2 to clean up the old driver files before installing the new driver.
3dmark03 and temple of elemental evil are so far the only apps where I have seen this.
Also, I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but in 3dmark03 I get very low frame rates in the "Battle of Proxycon" and "Troll's lair" game tests as well (4-10 fps).
Have I not got my BIOS setting correctly configured, maybe?
Thanks again,
Gerby

Ti4200-VTD8X - Issue with Win98SE

Just purchased an MSI Ti4200-VTD8X card. After a clean install of Win98SE I load the VGA drivers from the CD. At boot up the system will reset or hang with a blank screen after showing the Win98 opening screen. The system will come up just fine in safe mode and it has no problems in XP Pro. Any ideas what the iss might be and how to get around it?
System spec's are as follows:
2.4 P4, Gigabyte Sinxp1394
Ti4200-VTD8X 128MB
1GB of OCZ 3500 RAM
Seagate 17GB
WD 80GB
2 WD 80GB disks (RAID 0)
PS - Antec 480W

What's kinda strange is that it worked for a few of days. With this setup, I was trying to find the overclocking limits and as will happen on occasions I trashed Windows. No problem...I'll just reinstall Win98 and XP...problem is Win98SE now does not care for MSI delivered drivers or the nVidia drivers to be installed now. I've tried both with and without the delivered Sis AGP driver (both the 1.13 and the 1.15) and before and after updates from MS for Win98. I can always reinstall and try it again but after going through all the iterations to date I thought I'd see if anyone else is having this issue.
Thanks for your reply,
Matt

Asus P4S8X MB vs. Ti4200-VTD8X issue

I have build a new system with ASUS P4S8X motherboard and MSI Ti4200-VTD8X(MS-8894) card, after several unsuccessful installations of my graphic driver: always got rundll32.exe error when I try to click on either "MSI Information" or "MSI Clock Tabs" button, I came to this forum and read most of the Ti4200-VTD8X related thread, especially the one "Asus MB vs. Ti4200" started by jcander. It helps, but I still can't fix my problem.
I uninstalled the original driver (41.07 I believe, came with MSI graph card), downloaded and installed nVIDIA's new driver 43.45, when I open "Display Properties", I see "MSI Information" and "MSI Clock Tabs" button are still there (Is this correct?), click either one results the same run error as before, the detailed error signature state "ModName: msicpl.dll", I checked my window directory, couldn't find msicpl.dll file, only a file called msicpl.ini is found there, which seems was created when I install the nVIDIA driver. I did not run a registry hack as suggested by Razvan (do I have to?), I am afraid of changing registry file. So I guess my questions are:
1. Is it correct that two MSI buttons still exist after install nVIDIA driver?
2. Do I have to run that registry file in order to get it work?
3. Is there any other step or procedure I missed during the work around?
Thanks in advance.

laoguan,
Since you originally installed the MSI drivers and then switched to the nVidia drivers, you need to go in your c:/windows Directory and delete the file msicpl.dll
That will solve the problem with the MSI Tabs.
Take Care,
Richard

MSI Ti4200 128MB card availability

My son's friend is building a system very close to the same as mine and he has most of the parts now that he bought from NewEgg. The problem is that he wants to use the MSI Ti4200 video card that I have but he can't seem to locate one.
Has MSI stopped producing these video cards or is the demand so great that nobody has any? I haven't even been able to locate many of them from Price Watch or other search engines either.
Any ideas where he can get one would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

Here is one but is currently out of stock. Here and Here is another and cheaper. Im giving you all these sites just in case you dont feel like you can trust one or another. Oh and i have to throw this in there a 4800 for only 20 bucks more :D Here Good luck

Bios update failed on MSI TI4200-T8X64 graphics adapter

during the installation procedure of a new desktop we proceeded the update of live update 2 to live update 3 -
afterwards we checked the availability of a new vga bios and tried to install it to the MSI TI4200-T8X64 graphics adapter of the desktop -
the installation failed and after the reboot the graphics adapter did show any results anymore -
so we had to insert a second vga card (pci) and swith to primary pci vga usage in the desktops bios -
so we are able to start windows, but we are not able to get a functional bios via live update 2 or 3.
where do we get a functional bios version and the flash-tool for our graphics adapter????
thanks for your quick help!
christian

I think there should be a jumper on that card, I have the 4200 VTD128 8x model and there is a jumper with a green shunt. Look in the Bulletin at the top of this VGA forum, there are instructions on how to recover from a bad BIOS flash(If the jumper is present)
If not, Please give the number on the BIOS sticker, it should say for example:n8894MS100 something like that.
What is the part number in white silkscreen lettering on the fan side say?
