HELP !! Memory voltage (on graphics card) is unusual ??

[momento]

I have a MSI ti4200 VTD8X (along with 8rda+, 2500 barton, 1 GB pc2700, 430w foxconn PSU). Recently i installed a software that was bundled with the graphics card - MSI 3d Turbo Experience. upon installation, i kept getting this error message:

**********************************
VGA monitor error
memory voltage is unusual.
memory voltage is 2.47(1.50) VOlt 67 (68) /edited
**********************************
values in the parenthesis show up interchangebly.

I get the same message whether it is run at stock speed or oc'ed.

I have check the AGP slot voltage setting in the bios, and it is set at 1.5V. I don't quite understand this message. I have had this graphics card for a while now, and it runs perfectly (even now with the error message). I wouldn't know all this had i not installed the 3d turbo software.

Should this be something of serious concern?

Thanks for your time.

I have the same card but I've never gotten that error message when using the software. I think I might be a little worried about that voltage, it seems pretty low. The memory i/o is usually around 2.69v and the memory core about 3.36v on mine...

any suggestion how to rectify the problem? I know AGP slot takes about 1.5V and it is set so in the bios.

Right now everything is running at stock.

Only thing I can think is you might want to check the power supply. 430w should be plenty of power, assuming that number is accurate, so i doubt that's the problem. Other than that I don't know. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I get around 11 thousand++ in 3dmark01se with my setup. So, can i tell whether the graphics memory "with unusual voltage" is affecting the performance of the card or not?

By the way, where does the GPU and its onboard memory draw their power? (since AGP supplies only 1.5V, should their voltage be necessarily be less than that value??)
