RS482M4-ILD motherboard and VGA/DVI

Hi,
Here is my problem :
I've got a MSI RS482M4-ILD motherboard and plugged it to a Plasma TV (42" PDP) with VGA and then on-board DVI.
At first, DVI is only detected by the plasma once Windows XP running, which means that the motherboard doesn't support DVI by default. Is it normal ?
Then, there is a big difference between DVI resolution and VGA. The Plasma manufacturer argues that the native resolution of the plasma is 1280x768. So everything is normal when I use 1280x768 with the VGA output, but it is not possible by default when I use the DVI outpout (resolutions offered : 640x480, 800x600, 852 x 480 and 1024x768). Each of these resolutions works fine, but 1280x768 is not available. Then I used provided ATI utility to force all possible resolutions and I chose 1280x768. But the image was not fully displayed. I mean I had to scroll right and left with the mouse to see all the screen.
What can I do (update drivers, etc.) ?
Configuration :
Micro-ATX BOx 460W
MSI RS482M4-ILD
AMD Athlon 64 3500+
1 Go DDR PC 3200
HD Maxtor 80 Go SATA x2 (RAID 1)
DVD Burner x4 IDE
FD 1.44 Mo
Windows XP SP2
Plasma TV 42 PDP

I managed to set the DPD display to 1280x720 using the 720p option in HDTV plasma display but now, the image is not correct. The output screen from the PC is a the center of the image and there is a black band around. How to make it fit all the screen ?

Does the RS482M4-ILD come with SPDIF connector?

I am considering purchasing the RS482M4-ILD motherboard. MSI product line shows that the SPDIF connector is optional....but it does not say which model it is optional for...IL, 480M2, etc. It would be very helpful if someone who has purchased this model could verify what cables and adapters this motherboard comes with. If someone has another similiar board - IL, 480M2, etc, that comes with a SPDIF, I would appreciate input from you as well.
Thanks

Hi, I have just got the RS482M4 motherboard, and it does not include the SPDIF connector.
Can anyone tell me where I can get one ? and what the part no is ? Many thanks,
I can see it on the support website in Australia

But MSI in Australia emails dont work, and have had no response for over 2 weeks now from UK !!!!
Many thanks

VGA DVI conversion?

I have the iMac G5 with the VGA out, and I was bummed to discover that it was VGA ONLY!
So I bought the mini-VGA cable anyway, and ordered and VGA>DVI adapter. After re-booting I noticed both monitors showed up in the Finder's Display Menu(at top of screen), but the 2nd monitor was still dark!
So basically, I had 2 screens but only on the iMac screen.
My research has led me to believe the only way to make this work is to buy a US$300 converter... Please, say it aint so.
On the good side (and maybe off-topic), since I just bought this iMac 8 days ago, I was told I could return it for the intel version. Woo-hoo! (which supports DVI)
oh, but wait- will my AdobeCS2 suite run slower on Rosetta than on a "pure" Mac?
Thanks!

Thanks!
Here's a little more info (also posted in a related thread on this forum)
I just checked the Apple Store web site--the video-out port on the 12" PowerBook is mini-DVI. The cable/adapter supplied with the 12" PowerBook is a mini-DVI to VGA cable and works with the Intel iMac. I have a 12" iBook G4, and when my Intel iMac arrives tomorrow, I will try out the cable. I'm guessing the iBook and PowerBook cable is identical, though the website says nothing about iBooks.
From the Apple Store web page:
"The Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter is designed for use with the iMac (Intel Core Duo) and 12-inch PowerBook G4. Connect the adapter to the Mini-DVI port of the PowerBook G4 and the VGA end of the adapter to an external VGA monitor or projector. Both video-mirroring and extended desktop modes are supported."

MSI RS482M4-ILD and s-video out

I am planning on buying the RS482M4-ILD. Can I output video to my TV with s-video and still use the monitor at the same time? I am not concerned with extented desktop, I just want the video window out to my TV. Is the TV out feature with this board comparable to an external video card?
Thanks

Yes. It works great. I used onboard VGA only - running MCE2005 sVid --> 42" tv. looks as good - ACTUALLY better than 9800pro sVid --> TV. the xpress has built in oversacan that covers the entire screen while using MCE2005. no other vid card i've used does this... I also used an x700pro pci-E and it was same quality. i got an X2 now and will try 6600 next...
oh yeah. I use corsair XMS 1GB 3200C2PT. no issues. 1ghz HT / C2 timings. fast.

The difference between VGA, DVI-D and ADC?

Hi.
The difference between VGA, DVI-D and ADC and which should be used with a T244 widescreen monitor into a Quicksilver G4 with a GeForce2 MX nVIDIA (0x10de) card. What's a good upgrade card if the above is not good enough?
Thank you for your input.

Use a DVI to micro-DVI adapter if you're on an original MacBook Air, and a Mini DisplayPort adapter for a newer one.

A DVI to VGA adapter provides a conversion from DVI to VGA.
A DVI to DVI adapter, what is that? If the input is DVI and the output is DVI, what is the need for an adapter?
Tell us what you are trying to accomplish.

Mini DisplayPort to DVI and VGA - Does it work or not?

I have just received my new aluminium MacBook Pro, and I think it is awesome. I can even get over the fact that it lacks the full-size DVI connection like the old one has just because it is so nice and shiny. I do need it to work with both DVI and VGA displays though, so I know I will need to buy an adaptor.
My question is: If I buy either the mini DisplayPort to DVI or the dual-DVI adaptor from the apple store, will either one of them work with a DVI-VGA cable? I have heard so far that the single-DVI adaptor does NOT support the VGA pass-through, but would like some confirmation. Even if it is cheaper to buy both the DVI and VGA adaptors I would prefer the dual-DVI adaptor as long as it can do VGA as well, because one adaptor is better than 2.

As far as I know daisy chaining adapters will not work for the MiniDisplay port. http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8300784#8300784
You will need to buy both adapters, the MiniDisplay to DVI and a MiniDisplay to VGA. I would also suggest you voice your opinion at http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html and let them know how you feel about needing to purchase an adapter when one should be included with the computer purchase.

Connection to LCD TV - DVI and VGA

Trying to link my MacBook to my Samsubg LCD TV but it's proving more problematic than I thought. Using a straight DVI-I connection, a decent image appears onscreen although the edges of the screen are cut off uniformly all around. I've tried inputting a custom resolution using DisplayConfigX but that doesn't seem to solve the problem. Whatever resolution I put in there is still the same cut off.
I've tried using the VGA port on the back of the Samsung using a DVI-VGA converter, but the LCD cannot pick up a signal at all, even though the MacBook recognises the display.
Any ideas on how I can solve either problem? Many thanks.

Ok, so I don't know if you are using just a normal converter and connecting it to what port or if you are using the mini-DVI port on the MacBook and connecting an Apple Mini DVI-VGA adapter to it and then having it connect to your TV (or how you did a straight DVI-I connection to the TV)...
After looking at some of the adapters being sold by Apple on this website, it appears that the Mini DVI-VGA Adapter is a DVI-D type to VGA adapter, which I have no idea what this means for the mini DVI port (do they have D or I types for the mini port?)... But this might affect the use of a straight DVI to DVI cable (I'm assuming you would still need
an adapter of sorts to get it to plug into the mini port) and these they do have (mini-DVI to DVI adapters that are the DVD-D type).
Hmm. Also, many people in their reviews were complaining that the adapters were the not common DVI-D version type, and I am guessing this must be that most LCD or Plasma TVs with DVI ports on them are the DVI-I type, while for computer monitors and the DVI ports on most Graphics cards are, from what I saw pre-Christmas while deciding on 2 different Graphics cards with DVI ports and 2 (also) different Widescreen LCD Monitors with DVI ports on them, that most computer related DVI ports are the DVI-D type.
This in mind, it seems the "D" version type could possibly stand for "Deblocking" and the "I" version type for "Interlaced" (just taking a wild stab in the dark, I have no idea if this is correct) and that the "D" is slightly less quality than the "I" type like maybe comparing a 720p HDTV to a 1080i (or p) HDTV...
So let me know what cables and port types you are using exactly (or have available) as well as the corresponding Adapters that you might need, and we should be able to get you set up correctly.
Also, remember that the Display Settings may have to be changed when input is giong to your TV and that there should be the option of using the TV (as second display) as a mirror of your MacBook screen or as an extension of it. With Windows, you could also decide which display you wanted to be your default display (you could choose the TV or monitor as this instead of the MacBook screen) but I don't know if OSX can do this or not as I have never used a Second or Dual Displays with OSX (and only once with Windows).

Split DVI - I to 'DVI - D and VGA' to connect beamer(vga) and 24"(DVI)

I want to buy the new core duo mac mini, the only thing i don't know is if i can connect 2 displays to the mac mini by splitting the signal. I want to display the same picture on both screens. Both screens run at a resolution of 1920x1200.
Can i split the dvi-I signal to dvi-d and vga (useing this cable: http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=3342)?
Does this also work with bootcamp windows xp on the mac mini?

Using DVI and VGA monitor simultaneously on MacPro

using DVI and VGA monitor simultaneously on MacPro!
2008 MacPro - running the latest Yosemite
for the last few years, I've had two monitors attached - both DVI monitors in the DVI port.
today, one of the two monitors died on me! Just wouldn't turn on.
As it happens, I also have an older VGA monitor. So, this evening I bought a VGA-to-DVI adaptor.
when I plugged it in, something buggy happened ... the image was fine at the first, but then for a while, the active application started flashing off & on, it flashed between the image of the APP and a white panel... just the active APP. the background apps looked fine.
now it seems to have stopped .. .but I fear it may come back?
no idea what may be causing it! is it NOT a good idea to use DVI and VGA monitors simultaneously on a 2008 MacPro?
Hope it doesn't come back. right now I'm in safe start-up mode, I'll see what happens when I run normal start-up mode tom'w morning.
thanks for any feedback / insight!

minor update: I went back to the DVI monitor, using another 12V AC cable, and it seemed to work, but then that one just started flickering (after being on for an hour or so...) the flickering stopped after a few minutes, but something tells me that I'm not out of the woods yet...

Struggling with integrated video on RS482M4-ILD

I have a RS482M4-ILD mobo installed in a new build PC- works great in an Antec Aria case.
I did a clean installation of XP home SP2. Everything went together fine and I used Live update to grab the right drivers - however when trying to install the VGA driver I get an error.
It identifies a the correct drivers, but after downloading reports "record not find on msi db".
To get around this I am using drivers downloaded from the ATI site, but performance is very poor, about 2 frames a second in 3Dmark. Games are unplayable.
I have written to MSI support in the UK using the web form, but have had no response in 2 weeks.
I have unistalled the drivers using the ATI utility and retried these and the MSI ones several times but with no improvement. Basically, I tink the 3D hardware acceleration is not working.
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks in advance

There is no reason not to use the ATi drivers, the ones you get from MSI are written by ATi and just hosted on the MSI server for download.
If you check the video adapter's info in the device manager, is the driver vendor ATi or Microsoft?
If it isn't ATI then the driver was not installed and your working with a default fail safe Microsoft driver that doesn't suport anything.
This sould be the proper driver.

Msi 7191 - RS482M4-ILD cannot support pciex V 2.0 cards

I have recently purchased a MSI-7191 RS482M4-ILD board which runs and works fine with the on-board Graphics. When I have tried to install a Nvidia 8400GS (512mb) or GT220 (1gb) neither will work correctly in both win7 and Win XP professional. The card will appear in device manager but in 'Properties' has the message:
'Your computer's system firmware does not include enough information to properly configure and use this device. To use this device, contact your computer manufacturer to obtain a firmware or BIOS update. (Code 35)'
I read again and again about Pciex V2.0 cards being backwards compatible with Pciex ver 1.0a slots in motherboards, but I gotta say this is not what I am seeing here...
Any ideas to get the Nvidia cards working or do I have to try and find a Pciex V1.0a Graphics card? Unfortunately it also really needs shader model 3.0. How about Radeon cards, do you guys think these might actually be recognized properly and work?
XP SP2 btw
mb BIOS ver 112205

If this is just about the HD Audio controler, then I'm positive that the good pepole behind a Radeon Bios Editor could come up with way to disable it and then things will work as they should.

Other than that - I have no idea how to fix the problem.
I encountered same problem - MSI GeForce 210 did notwork at all in Sapphire A9RX480 mobo. GFX card is PCIE v2.0, mobo is PCIE v1.0a ... Most other cards work - I tried PNY 6800GS, POV 7300GT, POV 8600GT ... moderator uddarts from PCperspective forum tried Galaxy GTX 650 and all these worked fine... So definitively a graphic card issue I think.
MSI think that the mobo is the culprit - obviously

The Crew –Racing with Your Coolest MSI Gaming Motherboard and Graphics Card

Most gaming fans are crazy about racing games, and there is a new game title just launched to fulfill gamers’ dream. We want to share with you the experience from Taiwan user who assembles a rig with a brand new MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card, along with a hardware and game (The Crew) benchmarks. You may find the original article from:
https://forum-tc.msi.com/index.php?topic=113352.0
The Crew - Launch Trailer
PC configuration:
CPU: Intel i5-4670K
RAM: Avexir DDR3-1600 8G*2
VGA: MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G
SSD: Kingston HyberX 3K SSD 240G
CPU Cooler: SilverStone AR01
The MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard box
Overview of the motherboard: Black and Red color scheme, it’s also the favorite color combination from MSI’s user reservation.
The PCI-E slots and bandwidth are enough for a two-way SLI setting.
Killer Ethernet, outstanding performance on internet access, especially reduce the lag issue.

Done with assembling, quiet nice color combination and clean cable arrangement.
An overview of the very gaming look system.
Some benchmark results before racing with The Crew.
CPU and GPU info on CPU-Z and GPU-Z applications:
3DMark Fire Strike score: 6441
3DMark Fire Strike Extreme score: 3384
3DMark Fire Strike Ultra score:1262
The excel performance proof the brand new 960 graphics card comes with good a high Cost/Performance Value.
Now, check out this test benchmark score of the renowned game “The Crew”.
The game presents an ultra-quality display, 60 Frames Per Second (FPS)
FPS: Average frames is at:
Frames: 3859 - Time: 76828ms - Avg: 50.229 - Min: 43 - Max: 56
The comments of the game for your reference:
There are many types of missions that can be chosen from the America’s map.
Street racing, high-speed collision, breakaway from police, sky jumps, zigzagging, etc… make the game quite dynamic.
Now, when it comes to multi-player matches, the performance has exceeded expectations. Perhaps, it is the killer Ethernet that’s working the magic. Thus, this game is highly recommended if you have the right rig.
The downside is that the display intricacy is not as refined as GTA V and in addition, the game FPS is limited at 60 FPS. However, the overall gaming flow and performance is better than good.
The user's comment for using MSI Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card:
(The following commends are translated from user’s article, does not represent the viewpoint of MSI) ^^
Recently, MSI GTX 960 just launched so the initial price tag is still adjustable.
According to the current product line, it seems like this GPU is going to replace 750Ti. So once all the stocks (750Ti) at the store empties, we are most likely to see a price drop on GTX960.
Once the price hits the sweet spot, it’s time to try out GTX960 SLI’s performance.
The CP value on MSI GTX960 and GAMING 5 MB is pretty high. But the XSplit software that comes with the product is a bit annoying since the authentication steps are divided into 2 parts to go through for using it.
Enough said, anyways, GAME ON!

NVIDIA 960 card + GAMING 5 motherboard = best bundle for budget gaming!
it would be nice to see more testing of hardware-demanding games!

Can I use a VGA/DVI-D monitor to a new 2014 Mac Mini?

My wife's PC just died (it was a cheap 300 pc that lasted probably 5 years.
She basically emails, web surfs, looks at pictures and plays candy crush on Facebook so she doesn't need anything too high end.
I was thinking of getting her the basic 2014 mac mini but I have a VGA/DVI-D monitor (an older Dell) and it fits perfectly on her desk.
Can I somehow hook up a new mac mini to either the DVI-D or VGA input?
If not, what is the best monitor to get HDMI or should I look into a thunderbolt monitor?
Thanks,

Yes. You will have to purchase one of the following adopter:
- HDMI to DVI and use the Minis HDMI output
- Mini displayport to DVI adopter and use one of the Minis Thunderbolt ports
- Mini displayport to VGA adopter and use one of the Minis Thunderbolt ports
I would use the monitor's DVI input over the VGA input
