You must anchor the ASUS VR-100's mounting bracket with a screw to a free expansion slot in your computer chassis.

NOTE: This graphics card series can only be installed in motherboards with an AGP slot.

WARNING! Computer boards and components contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect the computer board and other components against damage from static electricity, you must follow some precautions.

Make sure that you unplug your power supply when adding or removing expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards.
Keep all components such as the host adapter in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.
Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads, or circuitry.
Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the component whenever the components are separated from the system.

Installation Procedures

New Systems

Unplug all electrical cords on your computer.
Remove the system unit cover.
Locate the AGP bus expansion slot. Make sure this slot is unobstructed.
Remove the corresponding expansion slot cover from the computer chassis.
Ground yourself to an antistatic mat or other grounded source.
Pick up the board (still in its sleeve) by grasping the edge bracket with one hand and then remove the plastic sleeve.
Position the card directly over the AGP slot and insert one end of the board in the slot first. Firmly but gently press the bus connector on the bottom of the card down into the slot. Be sure the metal contacts on the bottom of the host adapter are securely seated in the slot.
Anchor the board's mounting bracket to the computer chassis using the screw from the slot cover that you set aside previously.
Replace the cover on the system unit.
Connect your analog monitor's 15-pin VGA connector to the card and fasten the retaining screws (if any).
Connect other cables and devices if available -You are now ready to install the software drivers and utilities.

Systems with Existing VGA Card

Change your display driver to Standard VGA.
Shut down your computer and unplug all electrical cords.
Replace the existing VGA card with your graphics card.
Restart your computer.
Install the ASUS V6600/V6800 series display driver.

Operating System Requirements

NOTE: This graphics card requires a motherboard with an AGP slot.

Windows 98

Windows 98 supports full Direct3D and AGP features. If you are still using the beta version of Windows 98 and you want to fully take advantage the Direct3D and AGP features, you must upgrade your current Windows to the release version before installing the AGP display driver.

Windows 98 includes VGARTD for the major chipsets but it is recommended that you install VGARTD from the ASUS AGP-V6600/V6800 Series CD to make sure that you have the latest version of VGARTD (see 3. Software Setup | Install GART Driver).

NOTES

VGARTD stands for Virtual Graphics Address Remapping Table Driver, which is necessary to use the DIME feature of AGP. DIME means Direct Memory Execute, which is accessed directly by most AGP chips (when VGARTD is installed) for complex texture-mapping operations.
For other notes or release information, see the README files in the installation CD disc.
This Manual assumes that your CD-ROM disc drive is drive D: and that Windows is in C:\WINDOWS. Replace either with the actual location, if necessary.

Driver Setup

You can use one of three methods to install the Windows 98 drivers for your ASUS AGP-V6600/V6800 series graphics card.

ASUS SmartDoctor

ASUS SmartDoctor is designed to satisfy two major goals. One is to monitor the graphic chip status, alerting users about abnormal events, such as fan malfunction or chip overheat. The other, as the name “SmartDoctor” implies, is to “cool” down the graphic chip smartly when it is not necessary for it to be kept running at full speed.

Functions

• Monitors graphic chip temperature, fan speed and voltage
- Notifies users about irregular hardware events, such as temperature overheat, fan malfunction, and out-of-safe-range voltage.
- Forcibly cools down the graphic chip when the graphic chip's temperature is over an acceptable temperature, to protect the graphic chip from overheat damage.
- Cools down the graphic chip's temperature when it is idle, and restores it to its maximum capability once needed, thus smartly extending the graphic chip's lifetime.
- Cools down the CPU's temperature (for Windows 98/98 Second Edition only) to lengthen CPU lifetime.

Monitoring polling time interval lets you specify the time intervals that SmartDoctor will take to check the graphic chip. The default setting is 5 seconds. You can choose a longer time interval value. SmartDoctor, however, will be less sensitive to graphic chip condition changes.
Enable CPU cooling allows you to enable or disable the CPU cooling option. Enabling CPU cooling option will cool down the CPU's temperature when SmartDoctor detects that CPU is idle. The CPU's temperature will then drop.

NOTE: If you have already installed any CPU cooling software in your system, you should just choose only one. Running more than one CPU cooling software at the same time is redundant.

After CPU cooling is enabled, and when you run System Monitor in Programs—Accessories—System Tools to monitor CPU usage, you will find that CPU usage has reached its maximum, that is, 100%. Do not be alarmed—this is normal.

- Enable dynamic graphic cooling allows you to enable or disable the dynamic graphic cooling option. Enabling the graphic cooling option will cool down the graphic chip's temperature when SmartDoctor detects that the graphic chip is idle.

4. Software Reference

- Enable overheat protection lets you forcibly cool down the graphic chip when temperature is over the tolerable range or value.

When you select Run and keep resident and then click OK, a dialog box appears to warn you of a possible graphic performance drop. This performance penalty is very slight and almost undetectable even under rigorous examination by benchmark programs.

Warning Enable Dynamic Settings may slightly degrade VGA card's performance. Press OK button to enable your settings, or Cancel to quit OK Cancel

Press OK to set your modifications or Cancel to retain the original settings

Abnormal Events

When SmartDoctor senses that something is wrong with your card's graphic chip, the message display region will display a detailed description of the error or trouble. The component in question will also have a flashing red value. If you enabled overheat protection in Advanced Setup dialog, SmartDoctor will cool down the graphic chip in time to protect it from possible overheat damage.

ASUS VideoSecurity

NOTE: The ASUS VideoSecurity utility can only be used with the Deluxe model.

ASUS VideoSecurity lets you detect intruders into your system and environmental changes and monitor a specified location or any incoming visitor. If VideoSecurity detects any deviation from the norm that you set, it may give an error message or not. Regardless of any messages, VideoSecurity will record:

Any information about the monitored activity and then store these to an event log file. If you have already installed Microsoft Access 97 or later, you may use these event log data and export it as an Access database for further data management and processing.
The last two detected snapshot image files from the video captured stream (stored as bitmap format). Any image processing or editing software can then be used to view, modify, or distribute them.

Limitations

Because of differences in hardware sensitivity, VideoSecurity may not completely detect all possible errors. Before you execute VideoSecurity, there are some limitations you have to understand so that you can appropriately use it.

Due to changing temperatures, the captured image of some CCDs will be twisted, which may give a wrong detection.
If the features (e.g., color, luminance) of the object are similar to that of background, the object may not be detected clearly.
The CCD cannot capture the object smoothly and immediately when an object moves too fast.

VideoSecurity is designed for the widest environments possible and error conditions, therefore it is necessary to tune the parameters in VideoSecurity Setup Wizard to get the best detection results.

Setup Wizard

Setup Wizard guides you through setting up the VideoSecurity features.

To open Setup Wizard, click the Start button, and then point to Programs, ASUS Video Security, and then click Setup Wizard. The Video Security Setup Wizard dialog box appears.

NOTE: The following descriptions are only for selected features of the ASUS VideoSecurity utility. For a full description of the features described in this manual and other features, refer to the ASUS VideoSecurity Online Help (HTML) format included with your support CD. You may also click the Help button to open the online help file.

Main Window

VideoSecurity Running Style

Normal Window is the default style, that is, VideoSecurity will function as a standard Windows program.
Always on Top is like a Normal Window except that the main window and control panel is shown always on top of other programs or utilities. You may right click to enable or disable this function at the main window anytime.
Minimize on Tray lets you hide the main VideoSecurity window. This is useful when you don't want anyone to know you are monitoring. When this option is selected, the VideoSecurity icon will appear on the taskbar in the lower-right corner of your screen. Whenever VideoSecurity detects a problem, it will run. You may also run VideoSecurity by clicking the icon.

VideoSecurity Working Directory

The VideoSecurity Working Directory is the folder where the utility stores its temporary working and log files. Default is C:\VIDEOSEC. The directory is user-configurable. When VideoSecurity is ran, a sub-directory will automatically be created under the main directory, using the current date and time as the folder name, for example, "1999.11.30_12.30.20" means that VideoSecurity was started on 30 November 1999 at 12:30:20 PM.

IMPORTANT: Do not change the working folder's name while VideoSecurity is running. Otherwise, a fatal runtime error will occur.

VideoSecurity Detecting Region

Detects all visible area when watchdog function is on

This sets the scan rate. Default is 2 frames/sec. The higher the scan rate, the more accurate is the detection. Higher rates, however, entails a higher CPU usage. Do not use a high rate when you plan to use VideoSecurity while using other applications.

Direct3D

Performance and Compatibility Options

Performance and Compatibility Options ✓ Enable log table emulation ✓ Adjust Z-buffer depth to rendering depth if unequal ☐ Enable alternate depth buffering technique

Enable fog table emulation

Some old games do not correctly query the D3D hardware capabilities and expect table fog support. Choosing this option will ensure that such games will run properly.

Adjust Z-buffer depth to rendering depth if unequal

This option forces the hardware to automatically adjust the depth of its Z-buffer to the depth that the application requests. Normally, you will want to keep this option enabled, unless your work absolutely requires a specific Z-buffer depth.

Enable alternate depth buffering technique

This option lets the hardware use a different mechanism for depth buffering in 16-bit applications. Enabling this setting can produce higher quality rendering of 3D images.

4. Software Reference

Mipmapping Options

Mipmapping Options Mipmap levels automatically generated 0 Auto-mipmap method Bilinear Mipmap detail level Best image quality

Mipmap levels automatically generated

This option lets the hardware automatically generate mipmaps to increase the efficiency of texture transfers across the bus and provide higher application performance.

Auto-mipmap method

This option lets you choose the auto-mipmap method. Choose bilinear method for a generally improved performance or anisotropic method for a generally higher quality image.

Mipmap detail level

This option lets you adjust the level of detail bias for mipmaps. A lower bias will increase the application performance.

Command Buffer Location

Command Buffer Location Strict AGP

Command Buffer Location lets you choose the location of the command buffer. Default setting is Strict AGP.

Strict AGP

This option forces all the command buffer into the AGP memory. Choose for best performance.

PCI

This option forces the command buffer to be created into the PCI memory. If you are experiencing stability problems with your system (especially with some Socket 7 motherboards), choose this option for better compatibility.

PCI with reduced heap

This option forces the command buffer to be created into the PCI memory. This, however, also reduces the AGP heap size by an amount equal to the size of the command buffer. If you are experiencing stability problems with your system (especially with some Socket 7 motherboards), choose this option for best compatibility. Performance is, however, poorer using this option compared with the PCI option.

Tessel Alignment Upper Left Corner Center 7 0

Dragging the slider to the left positions the texel origin toward the upper left corner and to the right positions it toward the center (range: 0 to 7, default: 3).

PCI Texture Memory Size

NOTE: This setting applies only to PCI display adapters or to AGP display adapters running in PCI compatibility mode.

PCI Texture Memory Size lets you set the amount of system memory for texture storage.

PCI Texture Memory Size Maximum system memory(MB) for textures in PCI mode

Clicking the up arrow increases the memory size while clicking the down arrow decreases the size of system memory for textures. The maximum amount of system memory for texture storage depends on the physical memory installed on your system.

Turn off V-SYNC waiting

Turn off V-SYNC waiting lets an image to be immediately rendered to the screen without waiting to be synchronized with the vertical retrace of the monitor. This option allows for frame rates higher than the refresh rate of your monitor. This may, however, produce visual artifacts and tearing, resulting in reduced image quality.

Turn-off V-SYNC waiting Pre-Rendering Maximum pre-render frames 5

Pre-Rendering

Maximum pre-render frames allows you to limit the number of frames the CPU can prepare before they are processed by the graphics chip when vertical sync is turned off. Reduce this value if you experience, while playing games, a noticeable delay in the response of the input devices connected to your computer.

Eyes

Distance between both eyes. Adjust this to bring objects into focus.

View Angle

The angle by which your two viewing directions intersect. To change this virtual viewing depth, adjust this value.

Embossment

The effect to make objects virtually pop out of the screen. This is done by setting this field to a high value. When set to a too high value, eye fatigue or discomfort may occur due to focusing problems. To achieve a better stereoscopic visual quality, set Embossment in conjunction with View Angle.

Line Interleave

Select for better compatibility with most monitors. Stereoscopic visual quality, however, will be poor because only half the number of vertical lines are generated with this mode.

Page Flipping

Select for the best stereoscopic visual quality. Your monitor must be able to support the high frequency (at least 100Hz) necessary for this mode.

Refresh Rate

IMPORTANT: Before enabling OpenGL stereoscopic mode and using your stereoscopic or 3D glasses (ASUS VR-100G), make sure that you select a high resolution. The equivalent Stereo Mode resolution of a particular resolution is lower, thus:

16 bits: 2048x1536 → 1024x768 Stereo Mode
32 bits: 1280x960 → 640x480 Stereo Mode
1280x1024 → 640x480 Stereo Mode
1600x900 → 800x600 Stereo Mode

Performance and Compatibility Options

Performance and Compatibility Options Enable buffer region extension Allow the dual planes extension to use local video memory Use fast linear-mipnap-linear filtering Enable anisotropic filtering Enable alternate depth buffering technique

Enable buffer region extension

This option allows the drivers to use the OpenGL extension GL_KTX_buffer_region.

Allow the dual planes extension to use local video memory

This option allows the use of local video memory when the GL_KTX_buffer_region extension is enabled.

Use fast linear-mipmap-linear filtering

This option allows increased application performance at the expense of some image quality loss. In many cases, the loss of image quality may not be noticeable.

Enable anisotropic filtering

This option allows OpenGL to use anisotropic filtering for improved image quality.

Description Recommended Action

After installation and re-starting, Windows 95/98 informs me that the display setting is still incorrect.

My monitor is not capable of high resolution or refresh rate.

DirectX or the other applications report no AGP memory available.

Games or applications report “No 3D acceleration hardware found.”

I cannot enable AGP memory or run I-Base test.

My MPEG player displays bad quality video clips.

I can't use VideoSecurity with my USB CCD or IEEE 1394 CCD.

I am using Video Security and it seems my hard disk space is almost exhausted.

Make sure the “Assign IRQ to VGA” option is enabled in the BIOS.
Check if there is enough IRQ for VGA.
Uninstall the driver, restart, and reinstall the driver.
It depends on the display characteristics of your monitor. Consult your monitor documentation for the proper configuration.

- Windows 95 is not OSR2.1 or later.

- DirectX version is not 6.0 or later.

- You have not installed appropriate drivers for the AGP chipset. (e.g. VGARTD.VXD for Intel 440LX).

- Incorrect BIOS setting. BIOS must support at least 64MB for AGP aperture size.

- 3D works only in 16- or 32-bit color depth. Switch your color depth display mode to 16-bit (high color) or 32-bit (true color).

- Check necessary libraries, such as DirectX or OpenGL.

- Try to switch to a lower resolution.

- You may be using a motherboard with an Aladdin IV AGPset. To get the best compatibility, the display card uses AGP Bus Master mode instead of AGP execute mode for motherboards using this AGPset.

- You must install DirectX 6 or later so that your player can take advantage of the hardware acceleration mode (DirectDraw).

- Try to switch to a lower resolution, color depth, or refresh rate. Switching to a lower mode allows your player to use hardware acceleration mode.

- Switch dual view mode to VGA or TV mode.

- VideoSecurity currently only supports S-Video or Composite CCDs. Any device used must be connected to an ASUS video card.

- This is a very important issue when you decide to use VideoSecurity with the “never stop” option. You must be aware of the free space of your hard disk—it must be enough for storing temporary files in the current working directory. If disk space is exhausted, VideoSecurity will not store any information and give you a warning message.

6. Troubleshooting

I am using VideoSecurity and I set the password option. I have forgotten my password, though. Is there a way to recover my password?

- The only way to remove password protection is to recall the original password that you assigned. The password protection is still active even when you uninstall VideoSecurity and install a new copy. Make sure that the password that you assigned can be easily remembered. You may write down your password and store it in a safe place.
