![]() ![]() The User Guide offers a test report link on the MSI website to input the model number, which yields "no results found" in bright red(sigh) The guide states the different compatible frequencies(?)from 2133(OC)to 1066(non-OC). If there are multiple instances of +12V (IE: +12V1, +12V2, etc.) than you have more than one rail and it may be a balance issue.Apologies Tipsycoma. You should see something like +12v (under DC output) and a number with an A after it (under max current). ![]() Note: in regards to the "multiple" rails topic, check out the sticker on your power supply where it shows the amperage of your 12V rail(s). so the PSU does seem like it is the issue. Note that the 1950 XT consumed far less power than the 6950 does. There should be plenty of recommendations in the power supply forum. Buy a bit more if you can afford it (or a decent amount more if you plan to xfire in the future). You probably would be able to get away with something in the 450-500 watt area with a single 6950 at stock clocks (even that might be higher than absolutely needed but it's never a problem having a bit too much).

I've plugged it in using 1 molex to 6 pin that was powering the previous card, and from another molex that was free that wasn't being used before. I have a 500w power supply, which is what the card says it needs Now, the computer starts ok, (mostly - occasionally the monitor won't power up and I have to reset again.) But every time I try to run Skyrim, the game gets to the Load Game menu and the same thing happens. I played Skyrim happily for 2 hours - and then then monitor went off, and the system froze. This appeared to be resolved when I installed the new drivers from the manufacturer's website in safe mode. I had a few issues installing - I uninstalled old drivers, shut down, put in new card, restarted, installed new drivers - and the screen went black.
