MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr II/OC is not stable with newest drivers

[Aaryan2011]

I have just come across the newest 280.26 Display driver intended for this graphics card but I didn’t thought that it is one of the nastiest and problematic drivers I ever got for this card. Not only me but other drivers have also reported the same issue and that is about the stability of running card. They have also told that increasing the voltage might gonna fix this. Can anyone help me to know what those voltages are and how can I configure it. Last month have I have upgraded the BIOS. The GPU also seems to be clocked at wrong speed.

With the voltage of 1,012 mV can the GeForce GTX 570 and on 800/1.600 MHz overclock. This represents an increase of 9.3% compared to a map in the reference design. The memory could be from 2,000 MHz to 2,100 MHz overclock. This is only an increase of 5%.

With slightly higher voltage (+38 mV to 1050 mV) allows the MSI N570GTX on 860/1.720 MHz overclock. Compared to a normal GeForce GTX 570, an increase of 17.5%. The memory cannot overclock because its voltage cannot be adjusted.

With the maximum voltage of 1,100 mV, the pattern of MSI N570GTX leaves on smooth 900/1.800 MHz overclock. In direct comparison to baseline (750/1.500 MHz), an increase of 20%. The memory remains, as already mentioned, untouched.

Since my new GTX570 TFII / OC is not completely stable. I had again contacted the MSI support. Also, the fan control is much more aggressive than it was with my previous card of the case. They sent me to "new" bios. Despite detailed information on my part, they had sent me bios that was also loud hex editor completely identical to that already installed.

By default, the NVIDIA chip is clocked at 732 MHz (GeForce GTX 480: 700MHz) and shader with 1464 MHz (GeForce GTX 480: 1401 MHz). MSI N570GTX at its Twin Frozr II / OC, however, turned the screw and raise the clock speeds of chip and shaders to 7.24 percent at 785 MHz and 1570 MHz.

However, there are also cards in circulation, which run at 750 MHz and 1,500 MHz shader chip clock. Unfortunately, both versions under the name of MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr II / OC and available on its product page leads to MSI only the slower version.

Even when memory clock MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr II / OC has more to offer. Our sample uses 1050 MHz and 4.2 Gbps, while NVIDIA's reference model is limited to 950 MHz or 3.8 Gbps. This represents an overclocking to 10.53 percent. The slower version of N570GTX Twin Frozr II / OC is located at 1,000 MHz and 4.0 Gbps in between.

Besides the possibility to overclock the card can also be reduced at the same clock speed and voltage. Since the card is overclocked from the factory, it has tended to have less potential than cards that come with the reference clock speeds. The standard voltage of the MSI N570GTX of 1,012 mV can be put down to 975. Even with 950 mV still run some games. In the long run, this value is not stable, like Crysis because an often time crashes. Depending on the quality of copy that value can still be exceeded.

With the help of some overclocking the MSI card, you can also once again miss a decent boost. Unfortunately, MSI uses the card to a standard reference layout, not like the GTX 460 OC Hawk on one's own design. The OC-limit of one card stood at about 890 MHz for absolutely stable operation

MSI does not mess with the idle volume. Man sets himself the only obstacles in your way. Basically, the card is in idle mode, quiet and barely audible. If you would reduce the speed even further, the card would be even quieter.

The MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition / OC come overclocked. The chip clock is raised from 732 to 770 MHz and memory clock of 1900 MHz to 2000 MHz.

Overclocked we have, as usual with the program EVGA Precision. Stable values could be used to 854/2116 MHz, at which 11 816 in 3DMark Vantage Extreme test point could be reached. Similar values were also adjusted for the previous version and the Referenzodell. The tension could not be increased in our test, because the area in the After Burner software was not adjustable.

I think that the problem is about the newest drivers only. You might need to degrade it if you wanna make it stable. The core voltage values might diverge depending on the driver version you use.

The core voltage of the MSI card is up with the After Burner 2.1 as the reference designs are set to 1100 mV, more is not, unfortunately. The phantom allowed with Gainward 1150 mV more minimal. The MSI card reached the peak values still better with the OC and was saturated with 930 MHz stable in 3DMark Vantage. Unfortunately, not all other applications. As with the phantom, we had to go down with the clock so that all games were really stable and aberrations. At the end, came out of the lower clock, we reached the stable, even at the Gainward GTX 570 Phantom as a maximum of 100%, namely 890 MHz.
