Would a gtx 970 fit in a Thinkcentre M82 3302 F2U?

Length wise It should be big enough I think. However I am wondering if a gtx 970 would be too Thick and hit the serial data cables. I was wondering if anyone has a pc like mine and upgraded to a gtx 970 or tried to. Or if anyone is good at measurements and can tell me how thick of a card I can get. The card I am looking at is Msi Gtx 970 Gaming 4G demisons are in mm 269 x 141 x 35 so about 1.38 inch thick.

The specs on a GTX 970 are:
145   Graphics Card Power (W)
500   Minimum System Power Requirement (W)
2x 6-pins   Supplementary power connectors
Even with an upgraded power supply, the case doesn't have the air flow to cool a card like this.   In addition, the BIOS probably won't recognize and support this model of graphics card.   ThinkCentres are business class computers, if you're wanting a gaming computer worthy of a GTX 970, best to start with a computer designed for gaming.

MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G + RAIJINTEK Morpheus

Greetings everyone.
So as I'm aware off, there are no "default" PCB for the 970. Manufacturers were told to create their own PCB or base it off some older PCBs.
With that said, how would you know if an aftermarket GPU cooler would fit on lets say MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G, since there should be no such things as "reference mounting holes"?
I have the RAIJINTEK Morpheus GPU cooler laying around alright. But is there no way at all, to know if it'll fit the mention videocard?

Okay..
This is my suggestion:

Presales Enquiry:
Tell them that you want to buy SPECIFIC graphics card (e.g. MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming Edition 4096MB ) and you also want to buy Rajintek Morpheus for it. And ask if it will fit. You don't have to buy it from them though (don't worry if you live outside the UK, they just provide damn good support on presales questions)

Will a HP Pavillion 500-569 support a gtx 750ti or gtx 970 mini

Hello. Will this computer(HP Pavilion 500-569) support a geforce gtx 750ti or a geforce gtx 970 mini if they fit into the case? If so will I need to do anything additional(other then put a new power supply with reccommened wattage etc) before/after I install it? I have read about some issues with UEFI and other factors on other graphics cards on HP and other computers not supporting certain cards and I want to be 100% sure. Thank you so much

Hi,
The HP Pavilion 500-569 only has a 300 watt power supply. The NVIDIA 750ti should work if it's not a model that requires an auxiliary six (6) PCI-E power connector.
The NVIDIA GTX 970 will require that a bigger power supply be installed in your PC. The Corsair CX600 would be a very good choice for a power supply.
Open up your PC and do some measuring in parallel with the PCI-E x16 slot to see how long of a video card will fit. The slot adjacent to the PCI-E x16 slot needs to be vacant. Look carefully at the motherboard and makes sure that components on the motherboard don't interfere with the installation of the video card. Review this posted article.

MSI GeForce GTX 970 with MSI Z68A-GD55 (G3) motherboard

Hi!
I have seen a similar issue here that was resolved with the help of this forum. (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=251322.0). I still want to ask my questons however, since I have a slightly different situation.
I recently bought a new Graphics card, a MSI GTX 970, to replace my older EVGA GTX 570. After installing it, the time it takes to startup the computer is quite a bit longer. The very begninning of the startup process is the part that takes longer, I see a black screen and "B2" in the lower right hand corner, with the older GPU this was seen for a few seconds but now it stays that way for about a minute. After that I see some random colors in stead of the MSI logo and then the regular "Starting Windows" image appears, from there the startup is as fast as before.
When the computer has started it seems to work perfectly, and the new graphics card is great, everything on "ultra" in games etc.
I guess the way to resolve this issue is to update BIOS. I am a bit afraid of this however, of the risk of destroying something.
What would be your suggestions? Is it better to update bios or to leave it as it is, since the computer works? Are the any risks with keeping this bios version, that seems to have some issue with the graphics card?
Any help would be greately appreciated!

Ok, thanks for the advice.
I have started looking at the instructions and have downloaded the installer and the bios file. It seems Norton Internet Security has some problem with the installer. When I start the installer it reaches the point when it shows the current bios version, after that it is interupted by Norton. The reason that Norton gives is that it has found something called "Suspicious.Cloud.9.B" in the file b4.bks. How should I react to this?

B2 Error with new MSI GTX 970 :(

Hi there team!
Just registered to try and get help. I spent around 6 hours researching + trying all the suggestions throughout many different forums, but the B2 error still persists. I am currently running the following spec:
Mobo - MSI Z68A-G43 (G3), with version 4.30 ( I flashed bios last night and still no help)
CPU - Intel® Core™ i5-2500K Processor, 3.5GHz etc.etc.
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 2x4gb at 1333MHz
GPU - MSI GTX 970 GAMING Twin Frozr V 4GB GDDR5
PSU - Cooler Master Silent Pro 700W
I have tried:
-Taking out the card and using the on-board graphics to flash the bios to later version, No help. (during this process, the B2 error does NOT show up)
-Upgraded the card to latest nVidia drivers, even uninstalled and re-installed them. No help.
-Upgraded all the drivers from MSI, i.e. chipset etc. through Live Update 6. No help.
When the card is in, I cannot even access bios, it just gets stuck at B2 screen for like a minute, and then carries on with the boot process. I am able to play games etc. after the booting, but this error for sure should not be there when the PC boots up. I didn't have any issues with my old GTX 560 TI. I've read different forums saying that it might have something to do with the mobo thinking that something has to be connected to the on-board graphics; or that flashing BIOS helped a lot of users, but not me :(.
I don't have a second PC to test the card on.
Literally, I would try anything, please someone just help :(( This card is a beast and I wanna be able to properly use it and not having to worry about this error.
Thank you very much guys, hope someone can help!

Man thank you so much! It is finally working!!! Thank you!!!! ))) It is showing correct version in BIOS, does not show B2 error whatsoever, all done! )
Thanks for your time! You can close thread, but it's very useful for anyone that has this issue!
Wich version of BIOS do you have installed? Can you OC your processor with new BIOS?

MSI GTX 970 not being detected on first PCI-E 3.0 slot of MSI Gaming 5 motherboa

Hi guys.
So I recently got myself a new build and some of the components include a MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G GPU and a MSI Gaming 5 mobo. When installing the GPU to the motherboard I found that for some reason nothing was being displayed on the screen. The screen wouldn't display a no signal message but it would stay black when I booted the PC up. However, when I plugged the GPU into the 2nd PCI-E 3.0 slot it would work and display on the screen. I read on a Tom's Hardware thread of someone with a similar problem and it was recommended to him to check his CPU for bent pins and he later confirmed that was the problem. I have tried the same, but as far as I can tell all of the pins were in their natural state and couldn't find any bent ones.
But I also discovered something else which really started to confuse me... When I plug in my old GPU (a Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti) into the first PCI-E 3.0 slot, it would work normally?! Why would it work fine with my GTX 560 but not my GTX 970?? I have tried everything. Even stripping the pc down to the most basic parts on a wooden surface and tested everything but it's still the same problem. I have also made sure that the display setting in the BIOS is set to PEG, but it would still not display anything when the GTX 970 is in the first slot, but if I plug the HDMI cable directly into my motherboard, even with the GTX 970 installed on the first slot, it would display normally. Also, in my BIOS it doesn't even detect anything being in the first PCI-E 3.0 slot in the Board Explorer menu. But when I installed it in the 2nd PCI-E 3.0 slot the Board Explorer menu would recognize it, but would say it's running at x8 and not x16. Should I be worried about this?
My full setup:
MSI Gaming 5 Motherboard
Intel i7 4790K
MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
Kingston HyperX 1333Mhz 8Gb (2x4Gb)
Corsair RM 750 PSU
Corsair H80i CPU cooler
Any advice from you guys on what to do or what the problem could be would be greatly appreciated!

remove power cord from the PSU and do >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
also reseat the card into PCI-E slot 1 and make sure its fill very well into the slot

GTX 970 PC Crashing (Started since I played GTA V and it crashed)

This all started 2 days ago while I was playing GTA V. Someone recommended installing Afterburner to look at my CPU and GPU usage while in game. Once the program was installed I was trying to understand how it worked, and I was looking at the sliders in the middle. I attempted to move one as it looked as if the changed had to be applied by the tick button, I moved it a tiny amount tot the right and suddenly my PC decided it would start to lag. So, I just put it back to where it was and left it (without pressing the tick)
I have no idea if the above is actually relevant, but I never experienced any issues before then. The next day I went onto GTA V to play it again, and after a few minutes in the middle of a car chase where a lot was going on my game exited with the error message... err_gfx_d3d_init . This was followed by text saying: Failed Initialization. Please reboot and restart the game. Try re-installing the game if this persists. I am not prepared to download the 60gb game again unless it is outlined as the problem for sure, since I have a download speed of 700kbps.
This kept happening but then it started to just shutdown my PC all together when this happened. This has now risen to the point of I had to unplug my graphics card as I would have no display while turning on my PC. My PC is now working fine with the exception of the graphics card. I have decided to try reinstalling the drivers which is something I am attempting to do right now (Update will be posted below).
PC Specs:
i7 4790k 4ghz
16gb DDR3
Asrock Z97 Pro4 Socket 1150
Corsair RM 650W
MSI GTX 970 GAMING Twin Frozr V 4GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Graphics Card
If anyone has any suggestions that will help me and the rest of the GTA V gaming community about these crashes then it would be hugely appreciated.

Hey guys,
I'm having the EXACT same error. I don't know what to do anymore. I purchased newer faster RAM to see if it was a case of overloaded forcing a shutdown of the game?
I upgraded from 8Gb to 16Gb, anyways.. It didn't work.
Essentially, game crashes, I get the "D3D_INIT" error asking me to reinstall and nothing has changed, despite the clean re-installation of drivers and the game alike I am getting really frustrated with this especially when it drops during something like a 'Heist'. I've followed countless forums posts on here and 'Tomshardware.com' and the rest. I'm currently trying to make up my mind of whether or not to return the card since it's obviously not up to the job.
I would really appreciate some help on this.
I haven't changed any settings as its factory set and OC'd (Maxwell Edition).
Current set up:
MoBo: MSi Gaming 5, Z97
CPU: Intel i7 4790k @ 4.4Ghz (Factory/MoBo Turbo)
GPU: Single MSI GTX 970, Maxwell Edition
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x8Gb @ 1866Mhz
Storage:
1x 120Gb SSD (w/ OS)
2x 2Tb HDD (Junk and the rest)
I really need help with this one guys. I went out to purchase the new GPU for the purpose of the newer gen games and it's been a massive let down!

Trying to boot with GTX 970 and getting no signal..

Installed a GTX 970 and since then the PC will switch on but I can't even get to the BIOS screen. If I take the card out then it boots fine.
I've tried updating the BIOS and drivers as far as I can but I am now stuck as to what the problem could be.
The lights on the card also come on but the fans don't spin.
The build is currently:
MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard
Intel Core i5-4690K
G-Skill 4Gx2 Ripjaws DDR3 2133MHz
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD
MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card
Corsair Builder Series CXM 600W Modular 80 PLUS
Any help would be appreciated.

I would:
I assume this is a single card install?
1. Check card in another PC (if possible)
2. Check PS connections
3. Check PS's ability to output enough wattage
4. Try different monitor connection/cable
See where that takes you... and report back

Can't get GTX 970 to render - it's still using the CPU

Hello guys.
I'm using trial of Premiere Pro CC 2014 on Windows 8.1 x64.
Decided to try out my new machine - i5-4690K, EVGA GTX 970 FTW, 16GB DDR3 2400 Mhz, Samsung 850 Pro.
So I have this test video 1080p 60FPS 1min 2s short which I'm exporting to H.264 same as source but lower bitrate.
With the software renderer it takes 3min20s.
I wanted to try out my GTX 970, so I ran the GPUSniffer and added "GeForce GTX 970" into my "cuda_supported_cards.txt". Restarted the machine, made new Project, selected GPU rendering in the Project Settings and gave it a go.
It took exactly 3min20s as before and checking in CPUID HWMonitor GPU usage was 0 and CPU was running full speed. So certainly not GPU Accelerated.
I'm using latest drivers, which is 350.12.
Any ideas what should I do now?
Thank you very much for your time.

Where does the video card fit in?
The video card and hardware MPE is not the holy grail. It helps in some circumstances to improve performance and rather significantly, but in other instances it does not help at all, as is indicated in the link above. People often think that installing a super fast video card will reduce export times by a significant amount of time. That is not true. It only helps in a limited number of situations. Keep in mind that:
Encoding to an export format is done by the CPU, not the GPU. No performance gain from a video card.
Frame rate changes, frame blending is done by a suitable video card, for instance exporting to 24P from 29.97i or 60P. Here there is a clear performance gain.
Scaling is also helped by hardware MPE, for instance going from 4K to HD or from HD to SD. Again a clear performance gain.
Rendering for preview is helped by the video card only for accelerated effects.
If any of the last three points are a major part of your workflow, then a good video card will speed up these parts of the editing by up to 15 times on average over software MPE.

Can I run a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970?

I posted something similar before but can someone tell me if I have the right cooling, motherboard ect. to run a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 graphics card. I have a HP Pavilion 500-319na and the product number is G9B00EA#ABU. I know I need a better power supply which is why is I'm upgrading to 500w. Btw the reason I'm asking is because I have no idea about unscrewing my computer and checking the motherboard and all of that so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, You might want to search the forum for "500-319na" as there have been numerous posts with that model.

GTX 970 HDMI Port

Hi Guys,
i'm wondering if the newly announced GTX970 from MSI has an HDMI 2.0 or HDMI 1.4a Port.
The MSI Website states the latter, although the 'reference' model as well as some custom cards from other manufacturers having a HDMI 2.0 connection would suppose it is 2.0. I checked some German stores (since I live in Germany) and they either don't specificate the HDMI version at all or say 2.0.
I think this is rather important, because having a 1.4 port would mean only one port (the DP) would support 4k@60Hz, let alone GSync
Does anyone have some more information on this? Thank you!

Quote from: badboy2k on 20-September-14, 01:51:52
the GTX 980 and GTX 970 both have HDMI 2.0 ports as that's what they use by the NVIDIA spec for it so it should be that as it will be to spec!
Someone should contact the people responsible for the product web page and get that updated as soon as possible. I have been on many forums where members are avoiding the MSI card for that reason alone and are ordering EVGA cards instead even though they are louder and have a possible coil whine issue.

Dell xps 8700 cant find gtx 970

I have tried resetting default bios settings with no avail. In the device manager my display adapter is "Microsoft basic display adapter" any help is much appreciated thanks
ps. im using the a10 bios from dell

Any idea when GTX 970's will be added to the supported list in the latest version of premiere? id like my cuda.

Any idea when GTX 970's will be added to the supported list in the latest version of premiere? id like my cuda.

I Too would like to know. I've finally finished upgrading my rig with a 970, and as far as I know, there's been some good things and not so good things. (I'm on CC 2014.1 with Windows 8.1 Pro) I'll post screenshots when I get back to my computer.
FIrst things first: Make sure to install the CUDA specific to the 970/980. They have their own toolkit, that I believe people miss. I installed this, and then manually added my card to te supported cards file in the Premiere, AE, and Speedgrade files. When I opened Premiere, it's automatically set to use CUDA acceleration, so I believe it's supported there. I wasn't able to test this, unfortunately. I will confirm this soon.
Second, when I open After Effects, the Previews preference pane states my card is supported, and all the info below it seems correct, like the shader model. The only thing that seems off is the OpenGL, which is set to 2.1.2 NVIDIA or something of the like instead of 4.x, but I believe its an NVIDIA optimized driver, so I'm not too concerned. The big thing for me is the error message that I recieve when I try to enable Ray-traced 3D. I recieve a compilation error, followed by another message, and I have no clue what to do with them.
I'm really hoping Adobe releases an updates that bring full native support for these cards, as I'm running an class at my high school where I need to build three machines, all of which will have a 970 inside, and if Adbe doesn't support these cards, I'm kind of screwed as the pipeline is based completely in Adobe with its Dynamic Link and CUDA acceleration. Come on Todd, we believe in you!
TL;DR Yes, CUDA acceleration should work within Premiere Pro CC 2014.1, but make sure to install the correct CUDA drivers from NVIDIA (they should be in the yellow boxed text on the downloads page)

NVidia GTX 970 or 980 experience

There has been some issues reported surrounding the Nvidia GTX 970 addressing memory above 3.5 GB (it comes with 4 GB Ram).
I think this issue is likely a non issue with Premier or other cc products.
Does anyone have experience with either the GTX970 or GTX980 that you would like to share.
I am considering the CC version and these cards appear as if they would do well in a probably configured machine.
Intel i7 - Windows 7 64 bit - 32GB Ram - SSD Drives, etc.
Thank you.

We have a number of very good results with both boards on our Premiere Pro BenchMark (PPBM) web site.

Is the IdeaCentre K450 compatible with the GTX 970?

By comptabile I mean, of course, will the graphics card fit in the board? Specifically I have the K450, Machine type: 10120, Config number: 57323871.
Or to make it simpler, I have this board: ( http://flash.newegg.com/Product/N82E16883266696?icid=SE_83-266-696 )
Note that's not my exact PC, but the board seems to be exactly the one I have, only some differences (mine came with 12GB instead of 8GB RAM, for example, etc.)
My main concern being the size of the GeForce GTX 970. The lenght shouldn't be an issue since there's plenty of space below the drive bays, but because it's dual width I'm concerned if the card will be in conflict with where the heat sink down there is located. Essentially if the card passes over it, that's fine, but I'm not sure if that heat sink will actually obstruct the card and not allow it to fit in place, That link I posted has images of the mother board and said heat sink. I intend to upgrade the PSU as well (due to the GPU's requirements), but I'm unsure if this card will even fit in there?
