SPDIF connection with GTX 275 Thinkstation S20

The SPDIF connector from GTX 275 graphics card needs to be connected to ground pins in Mother board of S20.
Where are the ground pins in S20 motherboard located?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

the S20 doesn't have an S/PDIF header on the motherboard. you'll either have to use one of the existing external S/PDIF sockets (digital RCA and optical TOSLINK) on the back of the system for audio output or purchase a sound card with internal S/PDIF output.

Triple display NF980-G65 with dual GTX 275

Im just doing a final check of facts and compatibility before i start buying my sexy new system.
It looks to me as if the best arrangement for my needs/budget is an NF980-G65 with a pair of GTX 275 (SLI).
However, reading the manual i have downloaded i notice this paragraph.
Quote
Please note that although you have installed the graphics card in the PCI Express slot,
only the onboard video outputs (which be embedded in back panel of mainboard) will
work. Hence, you only need to connect a monitor to the onboard video output.
this is in the hybrid SLI section (which i wont be using) and, is referring to a single card working in conjunction with the onboard graphics chip (which i wont be doing), but i want to be 100% certain (before i buy the single most pivotal part of the new system) that the board will behave as i require and NOT disable the video outputs on the cards leaving me with just the motherboard video output
or, to be more accurate, i want to be 100% certain that it will leave me with at least 3 functional SLI outputs
(i absolutely need 3 screens on this setup (my whole workspace is built around it)... and ill probably add the 4th soon)
thanks

Thanks,
So I read that hybrid sli is no longer supported in windows 7.
I tried searching page after page in google and only came up with the info that some motherboards allow you to run onboard and discrete graphics at the same time... but I could not find anything specific for this board.
I also searched if I could use a gtx series card and a cheaper 8000 or 9000 series geforce in non-sli to drive 4 monitors but I could not find any good information.
Another option is to use a 5000 series ati card with a passive adapter for one of the monitors but since I already have a gtx 275, I won't be pursuing this option.
I did however find that I should be relatively safe in using a gtx 275 with a gtx 250 in non-sli to drive 4 monitors. However, this is a bit more expensive of a solution than I was hoping for, and will be my last resort if I can't get onboard working with gtx 275 or gtx 275 and a cheaper geforce series.
If anyone on these forums is running 3 or more monitors I would really appreciate if you could post and tell me how you did it.

Connection MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G with 2560x1440 monitor

Hi.
I'm going to buy WQHD (2560x1440) monitor. How to connect MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G to use 2560x1440 resolution? The specification for card states:
DVI Connectors
1 (Dual-link DVI-I)
Max Resolution: 2048x1536 @60 Hz.
HDMI Connectors
1 (version 1.4a/2.0)
Max Resolution: 4096x2160 @24 Hz (1.4a), 3840x2160 @60 Hz (2.0)
DisplayPort
3 (version 1.2)
Max Resolution: 4096x2160 @60 Hz
I prefer connection over DVI but according to above spec I'm affraid if will be impossible...
I've heard the picture quality over HDMI/DisplayPort is worse then over DVI - is it right?

This cannot be possible Dual Link DVI is capable up to 2560x1600
I just purchased 2x 980s gaming and all the current cards only support DVI up to 1 (Dual-link DVI-I) Max Resolution: 2048x1536 @60 Hz.
This is incorrect unless MSI HQ R&D did not test 2560x1440 and 2560x1600 res or they put crappy components inside this card to not allow it. I went back and fourth with owners on newegg with this card one owner did verify that it does work . For me I own a Monitor that only uses DVI dual link at 2560x1440. This will be a deal breaker for me if the cards do not work with my monitor or the video cards do not function correctly.
This does not make any sense what so ever for a manufacture to implement this standard as the majority of the population isnt even on 2560x1440 or 4k. So i am pretty upset about how tech support fails to acknowledge the reasoning behind this new DVI standard . Go look at the 760-780 series all say max res 2560x1600.
So my question to everyone out there who owns this card am i screwed or should i just use my dual link cable to run 2560x1440 even though it states 2048x1536 max res. Someone that i know online says it works so whats the deal?
FYI this video card does support a max res of 2560x1600 over DVI
Tech support for MSI and Sales department were not trained correctly to let the customer understand that Max Resolution on the website for DVI 2048x1536 is for using the analog VGA adapter
Hope everyone now understands! Because this took me 4 hours of my time to figure out on my own with the help of Newegg tech support and verified owners!

Since upgrading the IOS 8 on my IPad 2 I can longer get a full screen on my TV when connected with an HDMI cable. anything I should change in my settings? Right now my iPad is mirrored on the TV with a black box all around the edge

I have reached the same conclusion in the mean time. I have done a bit of investgation in to other grahics cards and am seeing some that show SPDIF connections from the card to the mother board. I was not familar with SPDIF but it did a little bit of sluething. It is of course a digitally enconded voice. I am guessing that in that case the mother board ( assuming it supports this hardware option) would use this output and be able to translate that digital audio to its other audio outputs. That is a lot of guessing of course. I think my "solution" might be a whole new desktop - a rather drastic course of action! I was in the proceess of getting ready to upgrade this machine anyway with a new graphics card (which I will now return), go to Win 7, and maybe even a new digital TV reciever, and I don't want to throw good money after bad anyway.
Thanks for your comments

I have sound either with my desktop speakers OR my HDTV connected with an HDMI cable

I have a Media center desktop - Model M7330n, product number ERR101AA-ABA. It has onRealtek AC97 audio on-board audio (I think) I just upgraded to a GeForce 210 graphics card in order to be able to connect to my flat screen using an HDMI cable. I am running SP3 of Windows XP , have updated to the latest BIOS, have updated the AC97 drivers. Everything is working except I can either have sound on my desktop speakers by designating the Realtek AC97 as the default audio output or I can have audio on my TV by designating the NVIDIA Hi-def audio as the default device. Is there a way of have both my speakers active and my HDMI audio. I looked through all the post and saw some no sound issues that were not quite the same but none helped my. It is not too onerous to just change the default audio output when I want to watch recorded TV but I think there must be a solution to this. HP tech support says you can only have one active. I was wondering if I could have both active by adding a new sound card. I have PCI slots available.
Thanks in advance for any help

APS on GTX 275 Lightning

Hi guys, I've just received my new GTX 275 Lightning yesterday.....and yeah, it's like super quiet with lot of OC potential...BUT, APS (Active Phase Switching) doesn't work for me...anyone have any idea why this should be?? I've got brand new PSU last week - Corsair HX750W so this shouldn't be the reason

Quote from: Danhy on 06-October-09, 22:07:55
here you go
well, actually I am using NVidia drivers from NVidia webpage....just because those on MSI is 185.xx and those from NVidia are allready 191.xx version
Quote from: Danhy on 06-October-09, 19:52:08
yeah, i mean those 3 LED's in back of the card...green should be 3 phases, blue(+green) 6 and red(+green and blue) should be 10 phases....not sure about number of phases (according to LED's) but that doesn't really matter but all of them are on all the time....I've seen video on youtube where one guy showed his card and in desktop it was like just one green LED on and in-game it was switching between blue and red
How they are currently lights? And are the lights changed during different VGA load condition?
What OS you are running?
Check in Nvidia CP, "Power Management Mode" , 'Adaptive' | 'Prefer Maximum Performance' settings.

Spdif connection

spdif connection to 3 pin header (KM2M)
I can't find a back plane fitting for this. The manual shows a connection for two of the three pins only (VCC & SPDIF (pin 3 nc)). I want to assume that one of the connections is a ground as I can make a back panel connector with a grounded RCA jack but I can't find a specification anywhere. Does anybody know the actual specification?

Nothing to do with overclocking or modding.
The S-bracket comes with my 875 Neo-Fis2R mobo as standard. What I want to know is whether there should be any 'red' light at the end of the optical cable when the optical cable is plugged into the S-bracket (and of course the S-bracket is connected to the mobo). I remembered that it should be this way but currently, there is no 'red' light for my case and even though I had managed to get a replacement S-bracket, still same problem. I had tried with another optical cable which was confirmed good (from my Hifi amplifier) but also no 'red' light when plugged into the S-bracket.

Connection with Extreme drops when connecting PocketPC to the USB

Good evening,
I just discovered that everytime I connect my Pocket PC to the USB I lose the connection with the Airport Extreme. Now I cannot use the Pocket PC and the Airport at the same time
Anyone know how can I fix this?
My base station is in Bridge mode and DHCP.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers,

I have an X-Fi XtremeMusic card and the Digital I/O Module connected via the Flexi-Jack connection on the back of the soundcard.
Using the SPDIF Input connections on the Digital I/O Module, the only sound sources I'm able to hear are 2-channel PCM. Any multi-channel audio such as Dolby Digital or DTS is silent.
The SPDIF Input settings drop down is disabled in the Audio Console so I am unable to select SPDIF Dolby/DTS Decoding.
One would expect that since the Digital I/O module can accept optical and coaxial digital connections, and since the X-Fi series of cards can decode DTS/Dolby audio, this would be a non-issue.
I had to wait months to get the Digital I/O Module due to backorders and I'm very frustrated with this issue. I bought the module specifically for this purpose and nowhere on Creative's site or help files does it specify that the Digital I/O module CAN'T be used for DTS/Dolby decoding.
It also took 4 or 5 rounds of back and forth emails with Creative's tech support before they would admit that multi-channel streams cannot be decoded with the Digital I/O module.
It's almost like they have limited knowledge of their own products. Is this a design oversight, or are they trying to squeeze more money out of their customers by having them buy a dri've bay or external console that has the EXACT same connections (SPDIF I/O) as the Digital I/O module? Why bother selling the Digital I/O module in the first place if it can't be used for what one would expect? If all I wanted was 2-channel input, I'd use the line-in jack.
I find this very misleading and a bad business practice on Creative's part.
If anyone reading this has experienced this issue and feels they too have been mislead, PM me and maybe we can put our heads together about seeking a resolution.

MSI GTX 275 Lightning Core Clock problems

Gooday
I've had my MSI GTX 275 lightning Edition card now for about 1.5 years, when i play games the core clock runs at its full speed of 702 Mhz, then when im in Windows, its drops to 301 Mhz (understandable, 2 different modes 3d/2d, i think), but now when i play games and dont alt-tab or anything it runs @ 702, but the minute i alt-tab just to check something on the net i start getting problems, when i switch back to the game it switches smoothly and perfect, but 30 minutes sown the line the whole display freezes,(but the game sounds continue) then if alt-tab or ctrl-alt-del its runs it fine but from then on the card FORCES the core clock down to 400Mhz and i have to restart the pc to get to to normal. and it does that even more often if msiafterburner is running (but also when i uninstalled it)
Why would it do that?, the core doesnt get hot, i leave the fan on 100%(core temp=45-60'C)
Extra info :
Drivers=270.61 (same on 266, and 258)
same happens if i oc to 740
psu is 600W Vantec (2x 22 amp 12V rail)
Core i7 920 (no oc)
7 GB Ram
Windows 7 x64 SP1 ultimate

Sorry i forgot to add that to the first post, yep, re-installed windows, with/out SP1 with th different driver versions and also with/out or different gpu programs ie afterburner evga precision, riva tuner. The problem wasnt noticeable for about a year then lately it got worse and worse. I thought it was afterburner and the settings but without afterburner the game would only freeze much later on (few more hours) i saw (sorry cant say were exactly) that other users also had similar problems, where the game would get very choppy and windows would say "display driver stopped responding...) mine doesnt tell me that, the game would freeze and/or get a black screen and then few seconds later it would return but most of the time with the Forced down (400mhz) clock but windows didnt pick up display probs

GTX 275 Lightning Issues - Need Bios

I have a GTX 275 1792mb Lightning model, the one with the cool dual aftermarket fans. I've been getting blue screens ever since I installed it, and the games run very choppy when applying AA it seems. I've used several sets of msi drivers and several nvidia drivers(including the latest one). It can't be my psu because I was running a gtx295 in this system without issue, so it can't be any components of my system since a gtx295 is basically two 275s.
I notice that when I first got the card the red/blue/green light would always remain on. When I use the lightning afterburner utility the green led light on the card would stay on.
And now when I try to launch afterburner it will have these pop windows that say either:
Error: schmanager==NULL
and
VBIOS: Flash_MMIO_MAP DeviceIoControl error
I'm thinking maybe the vga bios is some how corrupt. I've looked around the net and can't find it. Like I said I've tried all drivers, and even flashed my motherboard bios to the latest version...and flashed it to some older versions just to see if it would make a difference.
I'd like to rule out the vga bios if possible as a last resort, so if someone has the gtx275 lightning bios please let me get it from you so I can try to resolve this issue. I really don't want to have to return this product back to newegg. I really love the design with the dual fans and heat sink. I tried contacting msi customer tech support but they won't give me the bios, and they say they don't have it which I find a bit odd. I have flashed the vga bios before so I'm not some noob that doesn't know what they are doing.
I could also make a copy of my gtx275 lightning bios and send it to someone to see if maybe they can figure out if something is wrong with it.

I'm running a corsair 750 watt PSU
Q660
Gigabyte g31 motherboard
1TB WD Hard drive
OCZ 1066mhz of ram
And I recently swapped the lighting with a gtx 260 and see what would happen in the same system. The GTX260 ran games smoothly, and would run furmark fine with the newest nvidia drivers. Swap back the gtx 275 lightning, and games are really slow and choppy especially when you add any kind of AA. The FPS is literally cut in half when I switched to the msi gtx 275. I think it's safe to say that the GTX275 is defective.

Does GTX 275 fit in MSI P35 Platinum MB ?

My P35 Platinum MB needs a new graphics card, the GTX 275 looks like a nice candidate, but as it is a dual width slot card, I'm afraid it will collide with the rather high protruding north/southbridge chip cooler.
Does anyone know or has experience with this combo ? It seems that because of the length of that card 2 SATA connectors cannot be used anyway ...
Any recommendations maybe for something similarly powerful that might fit ?

Well, I don't have any experience with this combination, but it looks like it will fit and that you will still be able to use all your SATA-ports.
When you look at the card's cooler (I looked at the Lightning), you will see that there's a piece taken out just at the place where the sata-connectors are on the mainboard.
But if you want to be 100% sure, ask your retailer to test it and let them guarentee that it will fit, so you can send the card back if you run into any trouble.

Z77A-GD65 + GTX 275 SLI not working?

So I bought myself a new system yesterday, the MSI Z77A-GD65 motherboard with an i7 3770k processor. Everything installed fine, and the system is up and running. The only thing I cannot get working for the life of me is the SLI on two exact brand GTX 275 cards. The old motherboard I had before was a xfx 780i, and the SLI worked flawlessly on it.
The bios version I am running right now is the B5 bios (which I believe is the latest version).
Some of the things I did were, uninstalled the LAN drivers, then installing the nvidia drivers, updated the LAN drivers to the newest version, uninstalled Realtek's HD AUDIO driver, then trying the nvidia install, installed nvidia's beta drivers (301.24), turned on PCIE GEN3, and reinstalling the drivers using a clean install.
Does anyone have any advice on this? I am all out of options on my end. I even changed the SLI cable positioning on the graphics card by placing it closest to the back of the computer, then putting it on the next connectors going to the front of the case.
The only options I see in the nvidia control panel is the physx option, and I can either choose geforce gtx 275 or CPU... So I am wondering if maybe the integrated video is interfering with it? but I don't know how to disable it, or if you even can.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys!

Check the mainboard settings in the BIOS.
Go to Advanced settings.
Enter the Integrated Graphics Configuration.
Disable Virtu technology and select your discrete card as the initial GPU under Initate Graphic Aadapter.
Check that IGD multi monitor is disabled.
This is taken from my Z68, but I imagine your BIOS being pretty similar.
Give that a try and see if it helps.
I do have that all disabled with no go... I don't think I ever enabled it.
Quote
The problem may be with the enabling of PCI-E 3.0. The VGA's you have are 2.0.
I enabled PCI-E 3.0 as a last resort because when the GEN3 option was off, it wasn't working, so I turned it on to see if that would fix it, but that was a no go too...

*Adding new items/removing orphans*
Try iTunes Folder Watch or iTunes Library Updater. Folder Watch is much faster on the adding files front, can be set to run in the background and includes a useful exclusion feature, however it’s slow at removing orphans. iTLU is better for this although doing it manually after looking at a list of proposed removals generated by Folder Watch is probably faster still. iTLU can also be set to update iTunes when you've used 3rd party tools to change tag info.
You may need to amend the list of file types these programs look for. My list includes:
.mp3 .mp4 .m4a .m4b .m4p .m4v .mov .wav .aif .mid .ipa .ipg .ite .itlp .m4r .pdf
Note the last 6 types may not be recognised as already being in the library so should either be omitted from the search or you can add (at least for Folder Watch) individual exclusions for files you know are already in your library.
