Hi ppl just wondering if anybody out there knows where I get a original msi 9800 pro bios from check the official sites and can only find drivers and utilities , currently running the medion bios in the false hope of upgrading the bios to a XT one unfortunately it was a non starter just a plain pro bios actually . want to flashrom the original back , yees i did save the original but it,s in winflash .exe format now so no good for using with flashrom
thx

Hi Nate that would be great if you could email it to me at [email protected] preferably as a bin file thx

K8NNeo2Plat (bios v1.8) + 9800 PRO = 4x AGP and not 8x?

Hello
My K8N Neo2 Plat (bios v1.8) + 9800 PRO = 4x AGP and not 8x (even with bios setting set to AGP 4x8x, fast writes enabled)?
I am using the latest ATI 5.6 driver but my MSI fails to allow the AGP card to boot up at 8x (only 4x).
Q1) Should I roll back my BIOS to 1.5?
Q2) What is the best BIOS for the MSI K8N NEO2 Platinum?
Any ideas?

fyi, I think I found the problem when in Battlefield2 automatically started to lag (then die)after 10 mins LAN play.
My 9800 Pro (AGP) was dropping back to 4x (or even 1x AGP) at boot and I assume when I was playing a Battlefield2 multiplayer levels for 10 mins+ the texture cache was too much for my 9800 pro card and it had to swap to main memory via AGP 1x or 4x (killing my fps).
I have found our that the latest ATI driver uses a new method of testing your card's reliability and speed called 'GART'. Nvidia's first implementation of 'GART' was not compatible (BSOD) with an MSI K8N Neo2 Plat or XP SP2 so I have never installed the nvidia GART driver (as suggested be many)
Well the new ATI drivers (cat 5.5) need the GART software to read the BIOS '8x AGP' and 'AGP Fast Writes' values. If the GART software (mainboard driver) is not detected the ATI drivers disables the 8x AGP and Fast Writes and drops back to compatibility mode.
I installed the GART software tonight (120k file) and bingo, all is well and even my 3d benchmarks are up 25%.
Who would have thought that a video card driver needed a software driver to read BIOS values that have been able to read OK on other video cards since the dawn of time.
I will never buy an ATI video card again.

[Athlon64] MSI K8T NEO-V : incompatibility with ATI RADEON 9800 PRO

Hi,
I read all the subjets on this forum about Radeon problems with MSI K8T NEO motherboard. Most of the peple can't use their graphic card in all situations.
My PC is :
-MSI K8T NEO-V
-AMD-64 3200
-Power : 400W
-ATI RADEON 9800 PRO
-1 Go DDRAM (2x512 in single channel)
-Hercules Digifires 7.1
I bought a new MSI K8T NEO-V with AMD 64.
The problem is that I can't use the computer in the games with AGP 8X even if I try to enable-disable all the options possibles in BIOS and Windows (fast write ...) : The computer freeze (screen disapear as if there was no video signal), reboot or return to Windows disabling the accelerated mode.
But in AGP 4X, all the game run without problem with all setups of BIOS !!!
I tried all the drivers (the new and the old drivers). Even if all are updated, it freeze.
There are no BIOS update for my motherboard. I saw that some people had BIOS update for compatibility with some Radeon cards ...
So, I don't know how to repair the problem because AGP 8X is AGP 8X and not 4X, and my Radeon run fine on other computer, and nothing say that Radeon 9800 pro don't run on this motherboard.
Does someone have the solution to make it work ? Does a new BIOS or driver update exist somewhere for Radeon cards ?

What Bas said about 30+ amps on the 12v rail does have merit. Even if you don't use it now there may come a time when you want to upgrade the system and certainly you won't want to buy yet another PSU then. A High end vid card now takes almost as much as the CPU to operate. Now days the 12v rail is the most important. Past systems regulated everything off the 5v railk and 12v was used mostly for powering drive motors. Now though the MB's use the 12v line to regulate all the voltages for the CPU, Chipset and other features as does the Vid cards. 3.3 volt lines are used for memory so we hardly use any 5v nowdays.
You have an older viod card and that does not eat much 12v but if you upgrade the most likely peice will be the vid card. You could go through this whole thing all over again if you are not careful to plan for that now with a new PSU purchase.
If the computer shop gives you a bunch of bull about power needs havbe them stop by the forum and we can help set them straight on this. There is more than enough data from MSI and historical data here that suggests that 16a on the 12v rail is certainly not enough. Hey I am not trying to sell you anything. I am just trying to help you get it right. The computer shop is the one trying to sell you something we just feel they are selling the wrong junk.

K7N2 and Radeon 9800 Pro Prob..

I work at a computer store in Killeen texas and am having an issue with the K7n2 Mobo. When we use a Radeon 9800 pro from ATI, we do not get video on every boot. The system will go itno windows but will not show a post screen or windows. This only happend with version 3.4 of the bios. We downgraded to version 3.3 And the card worked perfect. Their is a new 3.5 Bios. Was wondering if I should upgrade to this bios or Leave it at 3.3. By the way....We tried three other K7n2 boards and two different Raddy9800s. We also had a similar prob with the All in wonder 8500. And again version 3.3 of the bios worked fine. Any Ideas....

leave it at 3.3 as its not changed
but its not all boards and all ati its wierd

Ms-6570 Radeon 9800 pro keeps freezing up

hello I just purchased at radeon 9800 pro and everytime i play a game the screen freezes up at random and the sound starts to echo. I know this is a video card problem as my gf4 works fine in my system. I have read most of the posts in this forum and have disabled and enabled all kinds of stuff trying to aleviate this problem but nothing seems to work. Good ol Nvidia, why did I ever doubt you? All my components are farely new and all my drivers and bios are up to date. I have tried doing a fresh install of windows xp as well. I am torn, I have been eye ballin a DFI lan party motherboard, but I am wondering if a MSi 5950FX would fix my problem. I doubt i will ever purchase an ati again, sad, but they will not return my emails and put you on hold for countless hours. Replacing my existing hardware is a last resort though as i would like to get some klipsh 5.1 instead! Pleae help, so many games, so little time, so many Freezes!!!!!!!

Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb troubles :\

Hey,
I'm not used to post things on a forum but now I'm getting quite desperate. I've been searching and surfing the net for possible solutions but none worked until now.
Sometimes my v-card's drivers hang, or that's what I think. The image freezes, but the mouse can keep on moving (nothing will react anymore and even when I'm typing this, it happened already 1 times). After that "freeze" of about 2-3 seconds, the screen will "click" like you hear when you change resolution in the display properties. After that, the screen comes back and most of the time, everything is ok, except from the fact that sometimes a window like this (mozilla) is resized to 800*600 or 640*480 size .. (not sure)
But sometimes, the screen goes black after clicking and will never come back, only a reset can help this situation.
And sometimes (rare) the screen begins to show artifacts on the screen (not in games, just windows) and this gets worse and worse until you can't see and have to reset.
When anything of this happens during a game, a recover doesn't seem to be possible at all.
-> this suggests it's a driver problem...
Now I've read about fastwrites (not available in current bios - but i heard it's available in the new bios which i didn't upgrade yet because i'm a bit afraid of the procedure as I don't have a FAT system nor a win98/ME boot disk and I'm using winXP pro) which I disabled in the catalyst drivers
I've tried to lower the AGP acceleration
I've tried Omega drivers
I've turned on and off the VPU recover
I've checked my PSU - even disconnected everything but v-card, hdd and nic and my PSU (Antec case) can give 16A/28A/35A in 12v/5v/3.33v rails...
A clean install of windows won't help
Direct X version doesn't matter
And all starts after the first catalyst driver installation after the fresh windows install.
Please help,
If you think there's some info missing, don't hesitate to ask, I'm an experience PC user so you can ask me pretty much everything about anything (I think) and I'll followup this post frequently. Anything that can help me find the cause will be appreciated. Until now I didn't want to return the card under warranty because I know I'll have to miss it quite some time then. :(
PC spec:
MSI 6547 (Sis645) Mobo
P4 1.6A (OC'ed or not, doesn't change anything)
Hercules Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb
Windows XP Pro - SP1

i read that the bios update adds the "enable fast write" function, but at what value is it whitout the update ?
if it's enabled by default, then it could be the problem
but i'll look into the site you gave and try to flash the bios tomorrow
i'll post the results and try the card in another pc if it didn't work :\

9800 PRO 8x AGP Voltage?

I have an ATI-RADEON-9800-PRO-128Meg card.I run it at 8X AGP with fast writes enabled.I noticed that the voltage can not be adjusted below 1.55V in the BIOS.ATI states the the 9800-PRO 8x AGP should be 0.8V.AGP 8X (0.8v), 4X (1.5V).Core Center will not allow me to adjust it down below 1.50V.Am I going to ruin my card?It is all set on auto and not user.I just assumed that it was correct until I seen the specs on the card.If I use the SAMRTGART feature in the ATI control panel and change the AGP to 4x,the voltage stays the same at 1.55V.I do not have any problems with the way it is running now.But if it is going to cause damage to my card,should I remove the card until the BIOS is corrected?Now I will be worried about smoking the card.It is only a few months old.

Hi,
I'm a little bit confused now about these voltages. I understand that AGP 2x/4x/8x = 3.3V/1.5V/0.8V. I bought an RX9800PRO-TD128SP.
I have an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe motherboard with the following AGP specifications:
1 x AGP Pro/8X (1.5V only)
The VGA card replaced a Sapphire 9600PRO which only worked with 4x AGP and fast writes off (because in 8x AGP mode I've always encountered the same problem: the games quited to desktop or the monitor went in standby mode - in 3DMark03 it displayed a "monitor lost focus" message and went in standby mode).
So I installed the MSI product and I didn't have any problems with 3DMark03 anymore (I haven't tried playing yet). I have the latest ATI drivers and the AGP is set to 8x and Fast writes is on.
So we've arrived to the point where I'm confused: if my card runs on AGP 8x then the voltage must be 0.8 V. But how is this possible if the motherboard supports AGP 8x 1.5V only. Is this possible that the card can withstand an overvoltage or is this voltage just for signal purposes and all AGP 8x slots have 0.8 V (the ABIT motherboards - like NF7-S - support AGP 8x (0.8 V / 1.5 V). Or do I misinterpret something?
I wanted to find the answer in the knowledge base but I failed (page not found error):
Question:
How can I know what is my AGP card voltage?
Answer:
Most AGP4x & AGP 8x card are 1.5v

9800 Pro Specs: Typo?

If you look at the memory clock speed listed on this page: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/vga/vga/pro_vga_detail.php?UID=576 it is much lower then what it should be (ATI's 9800 pro is 680)
Is this just a typo or is it the actual speed?

my bet is its just because msi have not doubled it for the ddr effect
338x 2 =676
a bit like bios speeds for cpu are 200 but its a 400 cpu etc

9800 pro help

I am having a new problem. My screen has missing texture with the icons and everything else. If I play windows media player the visualizatons has different colored dots and so does any windows I open up. my video card is sapphire Radeon 9800 pro 128m and I just updated to the newest catalyst driver. Bios is at 8x w/ fast write. I tried it at 4x. No difference. I have read about the heating and the stock fan. Should I get a better one. The card has been working for about a year and this just started to happen. Also I am only using one cord of off the PS. Anything to help. I am reading and trying to figure it out
Thanks

Possibly overheating.
But can you verify if your memory is working fine by running memtest.
http://www.memtest.org/
I have had missing textures and corrupt icons before and found the cause to be faulty memory.
And if you can try the gfx card in another PC, see what happens.

RX 9800 Pro 128 mb AGP Display problem...

Got an odd problem with my recently purchased MSI Rx 9800 Pro. Once installed my computer boots properly, but i get small lines, odd looking graphics, or simply missing parts of characters, displayed on my screen.
I'v updated my bios on my MB, the rx9800 already has the lastest bios rev. The problem happens during post as well has within windows. But I did pull the latest drivers anyways from MSI, still displays funny.
I cleaned the leads on the AGP connection and made sure it was securely in place.
I thought it may be a power problem, I've got a 400 watt power supply with 3 cd/dvd roms and 2 Hard drives, so I disconnected the power to everything but my primary hard drive and the MSI vid card.
I also hooked up the DVI to VGA converter, incase there was a problem with the interface, but to no avail, it still does not function properly.
Just to make sure i wasnt being retarted I swtiched monitors as well, same problem.
I finally got frustrated and hooked my 3d prophet 32mb DDR Geforce card back up.
I've installed hundreds of video cards (ok, maybe not literally hundreds), but I can't fix this problem. I'm thinking there has to be something wrong with the hardware?
Would the experts out here agree? Any comments or addtional troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated.
PC Specs:
ASUS P4P800 Deluxe Motherboard
P4 2.6 no HT
512 mb DDR 3200 ram
Windows XP SP 1
2 Western Digital SATA 120 GB HD's

In that situation, I would try the card in another comparable PC to see if the problem is duplicated. If so, then I would think an RMA would be in order.
If I have a similar class of card available, that I know is in good working order, I will then try it in the PC with the problem to do a thourough session.
It's not always possible to do that as most of us don't own a store.
I have often put things on my credit card temporarily to troubleshoot and then return witin the alloted return window. It's not recommended unless you intend to return one and then keep the other.
Just some ideas.

Confused over ATI 9800 Pro

I know this is somewhat off topic for this forum but I didn't know where else to post this question. I want to upgrade my woefully inadequate FX5200 to an ATI 9800 Pro but need dual monitor support (non gaming). I know the 9800 Pro has both a VGA connector and DVI connector but their HydroVision software is required to make a dual monitor setup work correctly. ATI's web site for Hydravision support(http://ati.com/companyinfo/glossary/hydravision/products.html) does not show support for any 9000 series ATI card. Does anyone here know if Hydravision is supported for this card?

If memory serves, the two cards are identical in hardware, the only difference being the bios. Thus, you can turn a pro into an XT with relative ease. Let me note that I have not done this, so I don't speak from specific experience.
That said, you might want to hold out for the new nvidia card if you'll be able to afford it. The reviews of the Geforce 6800 ultra show it to be close to 100% faster than current high end chips. You're reading that right--it's close to twice as fast as anything on the market right now. After seeing those numbers, I had to spend an hour crawling around on the ground trying to find my eyes.

K8N Neo3 Chipset NF4 - 4x X ATI 9800 PRO

Hi people, I am new for here, in the truth he is my first post, and already I arrive asking for aid.
I mounted the following PC:
Athlon 64 2800
ATI 9800PRO
Corsair TWINX512-3200LLPT 512MB DDR400 Ultra Low Latency
HD 80 Gigas (HD é o mesmo)
MSI K8N Neo3 Chipset nForce 4 - 4x
Fonte real de 450 Wats
Adigy2 ZS
I begin it was super contented with the configuration, but later that I mounted, I saw that I do not obtain to qualify the AGP 8X, therefore this plate has one slot AGR (Advance Graphics Riser) for compatible AGP VGA and amongst these vga
and amongst these vga, is not contemplated the 9800 PRO, with this I am twirling with the bus of the AGP in off and losing a lot of performance
Already I tried to download the updates of the BIOS, but still it does not have, therefore it seems that the plate is new.
Somebody that has this Mobo or that already it has seen this, can help me?
TKS...

Sorry, but you'll have to get a new graphics card.
According to MSI's website ("The AGR slot is a special design that only supports compatible AGP VGA cards. For more detailed information on compatible AGP VGA cards, please refer...." http://www.msi.com.tw/html/products/mainboard/agr/7135agr.pdf), the Radeon 9800 series is not supported by the Advanced Graphics Riser on your motherboard. The 9700 series is supported.
A BIOS change won't do you any good.

875P INF Drivers and Radeon 9800 Pro All in Wonder

Please help; I am at my absolute wits end. I will try to be brief but I doubt that there is much chance that it will be. Basically I have narrowed things down to this. My video card is a Radeon 9800 Pro All in Wonder 128mb version. My motherboard is a MSI 875p. Lately I realized (long story not important) that I did not have the inf drivers from intel installed for my mobo. This seemed to make sense as to why I was having display issues in games; IE Morrowind. So I installed them, and when I rebooted I was pleasantly surprised to find that the monitor would simply turn off right before I could get to the login. Now I have reinstalled windows several times and installed several different combinations of intel inf updates with different version of the Catalyst drivers. Pretty much, if I have the INF drivers installed, I will not be able to get into windows. However, if I don't have them installed (like right now) normal things, like typing this message, I can do, but I can't play any games . From what I have read I am thinking that it is one of a few things. A, it has something to do with the AGP driver/ and voltage setting things. Many people were talking about issues like this with the 9600, and 9800 pro (not all in wonder). So there might be some bios settings that would help; though I have no knowledge of how such things work. B, is that the card is just a dud and I should just give it up and try to send it back in. I am afraid of option B mainly because I know it will take forever, and then I have no comp, and because of dreaded option C. The motherboard is simply incompatabile with the Radeon 9800 Pro All in Wonder 128mb version. Please let me know if anyone has had similiar problems, if I am up a creek, or how to set the bios... Here is my system specs; I will check back to see if I need to add anything. Thanks a bunch.

(There doesn't seem to be anything in the Bios updates that will help me luckily, because I want to avoid flashing it if I can.)

Okay, I will try to answer any questions as they came. First off, Windows XP Professional is what I have. I tried to install the video drivers with both the inf update from intel, and the one from MSI installed. Again it crashes at login screen with any sort of inf update (ie agp drivers) installed. Radeon is running at 4x with fast writes disabled, however there is one interesting thing I learned Another thing to note about the problem is when I got to the ATI SMARTGART advanced settings little program (within the ati folder under program files) I can see that PCI write, and read are both on, and AGP read and write are both off. I am not a genius in relation to computers, but how could this card be acting as a PCI card, when it is installed in a AGP slot? Is this because since I don't have the inf update installed, so as far as the computer knows that agp slot is a PCI one? A further thing to note is that whenever I install the video card driver for my All in Wonder 9800 Pro, is that it installs two cards from what device manager shows. One is "ALL-IN-WONDER 9800 SERIES" the other is ALL-IN-WONDER 9800 SERIES - Secondary". According to device manager they are both located on PCI Bus 1, device 0. Disabling one or the other does not seem to make difference. A final thing to note is that I took an All in Wonder 9000 out of a friends comp and put it into my with the inf update installed; it booted windows and detected it fine. Does this mean my card is a dud and needs to be sent in for repairs, or is there some kind of voltage issue? As for other PCI cards, I have a modem that is not even installed at:
PCI Slot 2 (PCI bus 3, device 1, function 0)
Sound card at PCI Slot 3 (PCI bus 3, device 2, function 0)
Again Video Card (PCI bus 1, device 0, function 0)
The onboard Gigabit Ethernet is at (PCI bus 2, device 1, function 0)
Another thing that might help clue someone in is that I have
Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
Listed 5 times; IRQ's are 23, 16, 19, 18, 16
The IRQ of my All-In-Wonder is also 16 if this means anything. No conflicts listed of course. Another note is that my onboard ethernet's irq is 18, same as one of the usb host controllers, and it works fine...
I can't think of anything else to add, let me know what you think. Thanks a ton so far guys.

ATI 9800 pro RMA'D got MSI 9800pro

My ATI Radeon 9800 Pro died about 4 months after I got it, so I RMA'D to ATI and they sent me back what I thought was an ATI 9800 pro, but after using live update to check for mobo updates, found out it was a MSI 9800 pro. Normally, I wouldn't care, but I noticed that I had a problem with my games lagging, momentary freezes and overall poorer performance than my original card. I have tried the latest drivers from ATI and went back to before the control panel(hate it) I think it's version 8. I tried calling ATI and they sd RMA dept would call me back..that was 2 days ago..will call again tomorrow. In the meantime...any ideas??

Well partly
MSI is now selling ATI cards. there was only one ATI card in MSI's lineup until about 3 months ago.
They were manufacturing the 9800 pro (green card) for Medion PC in the UK and then started selling them in the retail market. Now that card is actually being phased out of production I believe. You now see the red 9800 with the ATI reference cooler. They are one and the same. MSI just rebrands them and sells them with thier own packaging and label. ATI has a strict QC policy so it's a standard BIOS. I'm assuming since MSI has to keep the Live Update utility current, it's going to recognize that card.
I could be really off base and the RMA department in Canada is working with MSI in RMA's and some chap had too many beers for lunch and got them messed up.
Sometimes the manufacturer will modify the BIOS for reasons like different RAM packages but I don't think MSI is making those cards atm.
I take it this is a Red PCB?

Radeon 9800 pro and memory problem

Hey i was wondering if someone could help me. I have a kt4av-l board. I just put in a radeon 9800 pro and When i play some games im getting crappy fps i updated the chipset drivers and the card drivers but still no help i have a 2400+ processor. also I bought a stick of ddr 2700 1 gig and for some reason i can't use the ram get alot of errors with it. i have two sticks of ddr 400 in there now 2 different brands and sizes and that runs fine but when i put that other stick in there by itself it doesn't work.

Hello,
It could be a weak power supply, have a look on your power supply's sticker for the following
eg
400w
+12v = 13a
+5v = 40a
+3.3v = 28a
The new stick may actually be faulty.
http://www.memtest.org/download/1.51/memtest86+-1.51.floppy.zip
Here is a program to test the memory.
Try increasing the voltage to 2.7v and set the frequency to match the CPU FSB. (133Mhz)
Is the CPU running at 2Ghz?
Sometimes when you buy a new video card the previous cards driver may conflict with the new one.
Try a reinstall of windows.
Also did you plug a power connector into the 9800pro?
Are you using any ATi drivers?
Your board may need a bios update to fix a 9800 compatibility issue.
