Two displays for MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC graphics card ?

Is it possible to have two displays simultaneously connected to this graphics card:
http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R6950-Twin-Frozr-III-Power-Edition-OC.html#?div=Overview
The card has two DVI-outputs "DVI Output: 2 (Single-Link DVI-D x1, Dual-Link DVI-I x1)". I can use one display at a time and the second display only shows "No signal" error. I would like to use two displays when playing PC games, is it possible with this craphics card? Both my displays have VGA connector cables, and they are connected to the card with an VGA/DVI adapter.

what monitors you are using and what resolutions you're trying to use?
Both monitors are old models: 1) Panasonic PanaFlat PF90 2) acer AL 707.
I'm not sure what resolution I was using on acer when I tried to connect both monitors, but now I'm using PanaFLat with 1280 x 1024. Maybe I should try to set them both on 1024 x 768 and try again.

MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition – Replacement Heat Sink?

Hello,
Does anyone know of a good 3rd party heat sink that will definitely fit this non reference card? We all know that manufactures such has Artic, Thermalright and Prolimatech make such heat sinks, but of course they are for reference cards. I'm sure you can understand that I don't want to make any expensive mistakes!
Thanks,
Krutish.

Thanks for the reply flobelix.
My main concern was the amount of decibels this card produced when pushed, not its thermal properties. Under high stress the card would peak at 80-85c with a fan speed of anywhere around 80-100%. Normal gaming temps would be around 65c-75c depending on game, or gaming environment, with matching fan speeds. That is why I was looking for a replacement, the temps were within the manufactures tolerances, even if a little high, but the db's were well outside of mine!
However, the situation as changed somewhat. While messing around inside the case trying to improve airflow I accidentally touched the heat-sink assembly, and upon doing so the fan instantly roared to 100% and the temps started to shoot up. I wiggled the assembly again and the fan and temps dropped back! So it seemed like the heat-sink was lose! I removed the card and tightened the screws a little, this solved the problem in regards to the temp/fan shooting up, but the temps were still high!
The next step was to completely remove the heat-sink, give it a good clean and replace the thermal compound in the hope that this would solve the noise/heat problem. It was at this point that I spotted the problem! The GPU was absolutely caked in thermal compound, so much so that all of the resistors around the GPU were also covered in thermal grease, (Don't these guys know less is better?) good job they hadn't used a metal based thermal compound, that could have wrecked the card!
Anyway, I removed the mess and used TIM-clean to dissolve what was left and finished the clean up with isopropanol. I applied a small amount of compound, replaced the heat-sink and Bobs your uncle! Max loads so far, GPU 64c – Fan speed 55%... That I can live with!
So there you have it, this card as been noisy and running hot from the day I brought it, but I didn’t know any better, I've never seen or heard a MSI R6950 in action before, now I have!
Made In China. (Sad Face)

Oh almost forgot... i heard off Artic, they recommend the Twin Turbo II, Xtreme II or the Xtreme III for this card!

MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC memory clock?

I have had an MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC for about 6 months now and have used MSI Afterburner to monitor temps etc. Today I used it to lower my overclocking as others had said Ghost Recon Future Soldier doesn't crash if you take it off.
If you look at the MSI product page for the card (the forum won't let me post a link to it!?) you can see the Memory Clock Speed(MHz) says 4000 yet in Afterburner mine said 2000Mhz and the slider was in the middle. I am pretty sure there is no multiplier at work here so mine wasn't being overclocked?
Any ideas? I have reduced it down to 1800Mhz and GRFS doesn't crash anymore but can I take it up to 4000Mhz safely in future? I do not want to overload the card.

you have multiply the memory value x2 to get the effective speed

R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC goes to full power when in idle

My R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC acts normally, when i use the PC. When it goes to idle, the card heats up and turns the speed to 100%. When i remove the drivers there's no problem. I've tried with the different drivers there and on the AMD page.

Driver for N560GTX-448 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC -l- split

I bought the card about four weeks ago and just now I had the opportunity to test it.
When I installed the video card in my PC, the device manager appears only a standard VGA video card. When I installed the driver, Device Manager showed a yellow exclamation on Nvidia's GeForce GTX 560 Ti saying "Windows has stopped this device becouse encounter some problems (error 43). I tried running some games but I could not open them, and with some drivers the screen was filled with artifacts
I tried various drivers on my two PCs, from one that comes with the video card to the 295.73 driver, and each time the same warning on device manager. Can anyone help solve this or may I do a RMA to MSI?
My systems:
AMD A3500
Gigabyte A75M-D2H
4Gb RAM Kingston DDR3
SevenTeam 550W.
Intel Core2Quad 9400
Gigabyte EP43-DS3L
8Gb RAM Corsair
SevenTeam 750W
Thank you.

You sure your PSU has enough amps on the 12V rail and you connected the PCIE power connectors properly ?
Have you checked your Motherboard's BIOS revisions for updates regarding the later video cards ?
Your PCIE Bus interface should be 2.0 X 16. Have you reseated the card properly and disabled the on board graphics in your BIOS ?
My PSU is a SevenTeam 750ZAF with 750W. I used it to do SLI of my 9800GTX+ in the other computer and never had problems with it. I doubt that this could be my problem.
The GA-EP43-DS3L already has the ultimate BIOS and I did the update on the GA-A75M-D2H BIOS. Nothing new, the problem persist.
Anyone of my boards does not support PCI-Express 2.0 but this is not a requisites for work of the video board like said the MSI page:
http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N560GTX-448-Twin-Frozr-III-Power-Edition-OC.html#?div=Feature
"PCI Express 2.0 doubles the bandwidth of previous generations of PCI express up to an astonishing 16Gb/s. This maximizes the performance of current graphics cards in today's most demanding games and applications. PCI Express 2.0 products are fully compatible with mainboards with other versions of PCI Express."

Driver for N560GTX-448 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC

So... where is it?
I've just bought one for a new build (my Chrsitmas present to myself) and I'm trying to check for the latest drivers.
There's nothing available to download on MSI's site for the card, and nVidia says that the hardware is not supported! I've tried their 'detect my hardware' and downloaded the latest GeForce driver. My card is detected as a 560 Ti but both complain that it is not supported.
Please help...

I've updated my system specs - the old ones made me realise how long it is since I first joined here.
The BSOD happened during me not even being there... I had installed the driver (seemed OK), done some windows updates that needed a restart, then left the PC while I went for a brew. When I came back the BSOD was waiting for me. I didn't read past the 'If this is the first time..' and just hit the reset button in disgust.
If it does it again I'll try to analyse the dump and see what went belly-up.
Seems OK so far though, it's been on all evening since then, including playing unreal tournament 3 for a while and running a few VM's in VMware.
So far the only thing to cause my CPU fans to speed up noticably was doing the windows updates!
I have to say I'm impressed with the graphics cards capabilities so far. But then I've upgraded from an MSI NX8600 (and a 7900 running my second monitor) so there should be a slight improvement...

MSI 570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition

How far am I able to safely push the voltages in afterburner?

Quote from: Svet on 23-June-12, 04:50:05
the one that you can able to set
Yes Svet is right just like Guru3d says : unless you don't mod/unlock Afterburner then what Afterburner reads it is the safe voltage for your card.
I used to have MSI GTX570 TFII OC and got stable daily 930/1100 with 1.075 Volt. Max was 970/1100 with 1.100 Volt only for benches not gaming
Daily usage :
For 950MHz I need to use max VGPU 1.1 Volt for stable daily gaming but it was abit hotter temp max beyond 70 C but still under 80 C so I choose 930MHz for daily usage.
MSI cards are good for overclocking especially TwinFrozer or Hawk or Lightning series too bad now I will have ASUS GTX570 DCUII ... I was searching a used card ^_^

R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC Cross Fire Temps

Hello all,
I'm running 6950 in cross fire with the factory setting core-850 and memory-1300.
But i dont know if the temps are good
Idle it's 40 and the 2e cards 38 degree celsius.
But when i play BF3 on High settings it runs up to 75 degree celsius and the 2e card 68 degree celsius.
I got a i7 920 in a Silverstoe raven Rv01. And 2 pci slots between the cards.
My Pc ^
Is this normal or is this hot?

Temperatures are rather normal if you are running several demanding graphic programs or games.
To keep them down ... just use MSI Afterburner and preset your Fan Speed or can also set to Auto.
About 35-40c IDLE is common and also very good. Near 70c at Full Load is acceptable. 75c-80c when playing several hours Full Load is typical.
I would not worry about the HD6950's performances or temps. but if they reach 90c plus then something undesirable maybe occuring.
Every quarter (3 months) or 4 times a year. Be sure to use Dust Buster blow out the Fans [be sure your computer is electrically UnPlugged] or take your PC system to be cleaned/ nothing like your computer
choking on dust as a well maintained computer will last for many years.
I like your system photo.. looks nice!
Enjoy !!!!!

(SOLVED) R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC setting up dual Screens

MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC Bf3 crash ?

I used to play bf3 with high setttings but now ı start using ultra,now it stutters like freezes then it crashes especially when I zoom in with sniper rifles ,I saw people play this game with this card in ultra settings butter smooth in youtube ,is it about getting hot or my 4 gig ram is not enough ,any of u guys have any idea ,maybe the psu not enough ?
my specs highpower 650 w
4gb ram
e2500k
4 gskill ripjaws

What are your GPU and CPU temps like when attempting the game at those settings ?
Could be temp related.
On paper the PSU looks OK, but the practice may be a different story. Perhaps you are able to test with a PSU that provides 35-40Amps on a single 12V rail? Friend or family. Thats the only way to see if it is the PSU.
What about drivers ? Have you checked the Nvidia websit to see if any of the release notes speak about this?

570 twin frozr III power edition oc unstable

Hi,just finished building my new rig (i52500k,p8z68-v-pro gen3 and msi N570GTX Twin Frozr III power edition OC)but my card appears to be unstable out of the box,crashing straight away on 3d mark,i'm getting display driver stopped responding error.
I've done a clean install of drivers etc,and only when i use afterburner to up the core voltage by 25mV does the card become stable.(have not tried less voltage)
Why isnt it working at stock voltage ?
I even tried bf3 using the card at fully stock settings,and it crashed minutes into the game

Sounds like the same problem i was having https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=155348.0
Most games would crash 10-30 seconds into the game, battlefield 3 lasted about 2-3 minutes before crashing and restarting.
Now i have a decent power supply unit no more crashing just hours of fun gaming

OK, HERE IS THE SKIVY, THE MSI R6950 TWIN FROZER 3 PE OC 2GIG, DOES UNLOCK, I FLASHED THE CARD WITH SUPPLIED BIOS FROM MSI, R6950PEX.BIN IT UNLOCKS ALL, VOLTAGE CORE, OVERCLOCK, ETC. I DID NOT SEE ANY CHANGE HOWEVER IN THE SHADERS, MY GPU-Z IS THE UP TO DATE VERSION. SO NOT SURE IF THEY UNLOCK OR NOT. I ALSO PURPOSELY FLASHED A 6970 BIOS, ON THE CARD AS WELL // CRASHED IT. FLICKED THE **BIOS SWITCH** & BOOM IT BOOTS UP NO PROBLEM, IN WINDOWS, RUNNING, I SWITCHED IT BACK, & REFLASHED THE ORIGINAL BIOS OVER THE 6970 BIOS.....SO FAR EVERYTHING WORKS AWESOME // GREAT DESIGN HERE....THIS IS MY FIRST RADEON BASED CARD IN LIKE 15 YEARS // GONNA PLAY SOME MORE & I WILL REPOST WHEN I FIGURE OUT THE SHADERS.........MrStude2r5

MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE strange heat issue!

Hi guys,yesterday i've decided to upgrade my PC with brand new Sandy Bridge configuration,but after the first boot i've had a very unpleasant surprize with my VGA card .Right after power on my PC everything went good,display was on and showing the Bios Setup screen,but after 30-40 seconds my the VGA fans started to spin at full speed and restarted the system but after that my 40" lcd display was only showing "no signal detected" .From this point i've tried everything to get my system going,i've disabled the onboard VGA,swapped RAM modules,toggle every PCI and PCI-E add-on cards,bios reset but the issue was still there.
A couple of times i've managed to get into Windows OS but after 10 second the PC restarted again.I'm not really sure what's the issue here but i do noticed that after 10 second from boot the VGA card is getting very hot (can touch it only for 1 second) but only in the area near the power connectors,next to the capacitors...
Here's my configuration:
- CPU: Intel i5 2500K
- MoBo: Asrock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3
- RAM: Corsaire Vengence 8GB (2x4GB) DDR 1866
- PSU: Enermax Liberty 620 W
- VGA: MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE
- Case: Cooler Master HAF-X
BTW,my old MSI Radeon HD4870 is working with the above configuration and i also tested the MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE on 3 different PCs same had same issue,so if you guys have any idea about this issue please post here.

Yeah,i've already compiled the RMA form with the retailer but it doesn't have this VGA in stock anymore.I really hope it won't need months for the RMA procedure.

MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE/OC "No Signal"?

Hi guys!
I've just bought the MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE/OC, but my monitor dosent recieve any signal at all. Both power cables are plugged in, and my PSU should be big enough to manage it.
The slot works fine with my old card, a HD 5450, so is my card faulty?
Win 7 32 bit
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H55M USB3 rev 2.0
Proccesor: Intel Core i5 2.80
PSU: OCZ600MXSP 600W
Memory: 4GB

The card has two power cables, which both are plugged in. If not, a red LED lights up in the card.
I've just removed the power cable form the mobo and removed the battery from the mobo to do a clear CMOS, but unfortunately with the same results. The fans are running, but my screens says "No Cable" and goes completely black
