1 Congratulation on the purchase of your new graphics accelerator card! You are now the owner of a state-of-the-art video adapter that offers features and functionality equal to, and beyond any other in its VGA class. System Requirements The minimum system requirements for installing the graphics card are as follows: ! a personal computer with a Pentium, Pentium II, Pentium III or compatible microprocessor and at least 8MB of memory ! a VGA analog monitor supporting a minimum 60Hz vertical refresh rate ! an available AGP or PCI bus slot ! a CD-ROM drive Features ! NVIDIA 256Bit High Performance GeForce256 GPU. ! Integrated Transform and Lighting (T&L). ! Support 32/64MB SDR/DDR Video Memory (Optional). ! Support TV out and DVI Interface for LCD Panel (Optional). ! 350MHz RAMDAC, Max. Resolution support 2048x1536. ! Single-Chip GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). ! 15 million polygons per second. ! 480 million pixels per second. ! Independent Pipelined QuadEngine. ! AGP 4X with Fast Writes. ! High-Quality HDTV Processor. ! 256-Bit 2D Rendering Engine. Software Support ! Microsoft Windows 95/98/2000 ! Microsoft Windows NT4.0 ! DirectX7.0 above ! OpenGL ICD ! OS/2 Static electricity can severely damage electronic parts. Take these precautions: " Before touching any electronic parts, drain the static electricity from your body. You can do this by touching the internal metal frame of your computer while Chapter 1 OverviewChapter 2 Hardware Installation 2 Back of computer it's unplugged. " Don't remove a card from the anti-static container it shipped in until you're ready to install it. When you remove a card from your computer, place it back in its container. " Don't let your clothes touch any electronic parts. " When handling a card, hold it by its edges, and avoid touching its circuitry. Before You Begin Before you process further, make sure your computer system meets the peripheral requirements and switch to the standard VGA display driver. Prepare Your Computer for Installation Prior to working on your computer, make sure the power of the computer and any related equipment is turned off. Select a Vacant Expansion AGP (PCI) Slot Most computers have a combination of AGP, PCI and ISA expansion slots. AGP slots are usually made from plastic of a contrasting brown color (beige color), and are shorter than other slots in your computer. Your system manual should identify the AGP or PCI slots, as appropriate for your model. Plugging your Graphic card into an incorrect slot could damage the card, your computer, or both. Do not try to force a card into a slot that does not accommodate it, as it is probably the wrong slot. Insert your Graphic Card Remove the cover for the slot you intend to use and save the screw for the mounting bracket. Then, pick up the Graphic card and position it over the expansion slot you’ve chosen. Push the card with firmly and evenly until it’s fully seated in the slot. Replace the screw to secure the bracket of the Graphic card to the computer chassis. ISA slot PCI slot AGP vs. PCI vs. ISA expansion slots PCI expansion slot Graphics card Bracket screw Mhb d AGP expansion slot AGP slot 3 Connect the monitor/LCD Connect the Monitor/DVI/TV Plug your monitor/DVI/TV cable into the monitor/DVI/TV connector on your Graphic card. Make sure the other end of the monitor/DVI/TV cable is properly connected to your monitor/DVI/TV. " Before installing the Display driver, make sure your Windows 95/98/NT was installed in VGA mode and functions properly. " For Windows 95 systems, please install DirectX before attempting to use the MPEG Movie Player. " To use an AGP graphics card with NT4.0, you may need to re-install NT with Service Pack 3 (SP3) or later version before installing the AGP card. " If you are running Windows NT4.0, please note that some drivers are not compatible with earlier releases of Windows NT. Consult your dealer or local support to ensure you have the most recent releases for Windows NT and the drivers. Before You Begin If your system is running Windows 95/98/NT, the New Hardware Found dialog box will appear after restart. Select Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer, click OK, then follow all on-screen instructions. If the New Monitor Connector (Blue)DVI Host Receptacle Connector Chapter 3 Software Installation TV-Out CompositeTV-Out S-Video 4 Hardware Found dialog box does not appear, follow the instructions below.

Hide modes that this monitor cannot display: Unchecking this box will allow you to set your display to modes that this monitor cannot display correctly. This may lead to an unusable display and/or damaged hardware. Power Saving: Allows you to adjust the Power Saving settings for Standby, Suspend or Shut-off mode. Standby check box: This option instantly places your monitor in standby mode, which delivers minimal power savings but provides optimal recovery time. Suspend check box: This option instantly places your monitor in Suspend mode, which delivers maximum savings but requires a somewhat longer recovery time than Standby mode. Shut-off check box: This option effectively turns your monitor off, and recovery time is practically equivalent to turning the monitor on using the monitor's power switch. (As Figure 5-7) Color: Moves the slider to adjust the gamma value. The farther you slide this to the right, the higher the gamma value, and the brighter your display will be. The more you slide this to the left, the lower the gamma value, and the dimmer your display will be.
