1.1. Minimum System Requirements

- Hardware

• Intel®Pentium®4 / CoreTM 2 or AMD Athlon™ / Phenom™
• 1 GB or more of system memory for best performance
• Optical drive for software installation (CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive)

- Operating System

• Windows ^® 8
• Windows ^® 7
• Windows®Vista
• Windows®XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2)
• Windows ^® XP Professional x64 Edition

2.2. Hardware Installation

Step 1.

Locate the PCI Express x16 slot. If necessary, remove the metal cover from this slot; then align your graphics card with the PCI Express x16 slot, and press it in firmly until the card is fully seated.

Make sure that the gold edge connector of the graphics card is securely inserted.

After installation, remember to connect the power cable to your graphics card, or the system will not boot. Do not touch the card when it's operating to prevent system instability.

Step 3.

Plug the display cable into your card; then turn on the computer and monitor. To connect a flat panel display to your graphics card, use the DVI-I connector. To connect an HDMI monitor to your graphics card, use the HDMI connector. To connect a DisplayPort monitor to your graphics card, use the DisplayPort connector.

You are now ready to proceed with the installation of the graphics card driver. Please refer to next chapter for detailed instructions.

2.1.1. How to enable the AMD CrossFireX™ technology?

- CrossFireX™ Configuration

If you are planning on using this graphics card as part of a CrossFireX system, the following is required:

• A CrossFireX certified motherboard with two PCI Express x16 slots and correct chipset driver
• One or two CrossFire bridge interconnect cables

Step 1:

Install two CrossFireX graphics cards of the same chipset on a CrossFireX-supported motherboard and connect the graphics cards via two CrossFire bridge interconnect cables (Figure 1). Then users can enable the CrossFireX technology through the graphics card driver.

Two CrossFire bridge interconnect cables. Two CrossFire graphics cards of the same type. (Example: GV-RX195P256D-RH)

Figure 1

Step 2:

After installing graphics card driver in operating system, when an AMD CrossFireX configuration is detected for the first time by the AMD Catalyst display driver, AMD CrossFireX support is automatically enabled, and the best possible GPU combination is selected based on the hardware configuration.

If AMD CrossFireX is not enabled, access the AMD Catalyst Control Center (please refer to Page 14). From the AMD Catalyst Control Center, enter the CrossFire menu and assure to select the Enable CrossFireX™ check box (Figure 2).

Figure 2

AMD Graphics Accelerator support HDMI output which can handle both audio and video signals. However, audio output from the onboard audio controller or the external sound card will be disabled when HDMI output is activated.

If no need for HDMI output function, set the onboard audio controller or the external sound card to be the default Sound Playback device to obtain audio output from your system.

Expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer.

1. Turn off your computer and unplug power supply.
2. 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.
3. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the components whenever the components are separated from the system.

The card contains sensitive electric components, which can be easily damaged by static electricity, so the card should be left in its original packing until it is installed. Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded anti-static mat. The operator should be wearing an anti-static wristband, grounded at the same point as the anti-static mat.

Inspect the card carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling may cause damage to your card. Be sure there are no shipping and handling damages on the card before proceeding.

DO NOT APPLY POWER TO YOUR SYSTEM IF THE GRAPHICS CARD IS DAMAGED.
In order to ensure that your graphics card can work correctly, please use official GIGABYTE BIOS only. Using non-official GIGABYTE BIOS might cause problem(s) on the graphics card.

3. Software Installation

Notice the following guidelines before installing the drivers:

1. First make sure your system has installed DirectX 9 or later version.
2. Make sure your system has installed the appropriate motherboard drivers

(for the motherboard drivers, please contact the motherboard manufacturer.)

■ Standard Settings

The Standard Settings page provides access to a universal slider control where you can simultaneously adjust all of the standard 3D settings for any type of 3D application. The slider enables you to adjust for overall system performance, overall 3D image quality, or a balance between the two.

This page is useful when you are not aware of which type of 3D settings your application uses, or when you want to use an overall adjustment control that rapidly configures your application.

Anti-Aliasing

Anti-Aliasing (AA) is a rendering technique designed to remove jagged edges, shimmering, and pixelation problems that are common in rendered 3D images. Rather than determining the color to display for each pixel by sampling a single location at the pixel's center, anti-aliasing samples multiple locations within each pixel and blends the results together to produce the final color.

Anti-Aliasing can be set to favor either system processing performance or image quality, or the application can decide:

• Setting for performance is best used when the 3D image is animated and smooth motion is the most important consideration.
• Setting for quality is best used when highly detailed and realistic 3D objects is the most important consideration.
• If you are unsure of how to configure anti-aliasing, use the Use application settings option. Your display will automatically adjust to the application's requirements.

■ Adaptive Anti-Aliasing

Adaptive anti-aliasing is a technique that applies a combination of multi-sampling (MSAA) and super-sampling (SSAA) on 3D objects to improve edge smoothness and fine detail. This feature renders 3D objects containing transparencies more realistic, providing exceptional levels of image quality while maintaining performance.

■ Anisotropic Filtering

Anisotropic Filtering is a technique that preserves detail on surfaces that have three-dimensional perspective and fade away into the background. It works best when used in conjunction with Mipmapping.

Anisotropic Filtering can be set to favor either an increase in system processing performance or improved image quality:

• Setting for performance is best used with applications that display objects with smooth, simple surfaces, like those seen in CAD applications.
• Setting for quality is best used with applications that display highly detailed scenes, backgrounds, and textured objects, like those seen in 3D games.
• If you are unsure how to configure anisotropic filtering, use the Use application settings option. Your display will automatically adjust to the application's requirements.

4. Troubleshooting Tips

The following troubleshooting tips may help if you experience problems. Contact your dealer or GIGABYTE for more advanced troubleshooting information.

• Check that the card is seated properly in the PCI Express x16 slot.
  ■ Ensure that the display cable is securely fastened to the card's display connector.
  ■ Make sure that the monitor and computer are plugged in and receiving power.

■ If necessary, disable any built-in graphics capabilities on your motherboard. For more information, consult your computer's manual or manufacturer.

(NOTE: Some manufacturers do not allow the built-in graphics to be disabled or to become the secondary display.)

■ Make sure you selected the appropriate display device and graphics card when you install the graphics driver.
■ Restart your computer.

Press on your keyboard after system starts up. When the Windows Advanced Options Menu appears, select Safe Mode and press .

After getting into Safe Mode, in Device Manager check whether the driver for the graphics card is correct.

■ For more assistance, use the Troubleshooting Guide located in the Windows Help or contact your computer manufacturer.

If necessary, adjust your monitor's setting using monitor's adjust panel to make the screen look focused, crisp, and sharp. (Please refer to the monitor's manual.)
