1.1. Minimum System Requirements

- Hardware

- Intel ^® Pentium ^® 4 or AMD Athlon ^TM XP class

- 2GB system memory (4GB recommended)

- Optical drive for software installation (CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive)

- Operating System

- Windows® 8

- Windows ^® 7

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.

2.1. Hardware Installation

Now that you have prepared your computer, you are ready to install your graphics card.

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.

Step 2.

Replace the screw to fasten the card in place, and replace the computer cover.

How NVIDIA® SLI™ (Scalable Link Interface) technology works:

If you are planning on using this graphics card as part of an SLI system, the following are required:

- An SLI certified motherboard with two/three PCIe x16 slots and correct chipset driver

- An SLI bridge connector or 3-way SLI bridge connector

In an SLI configuration, two/three SLI-ready graphics cards of the same model and the same manufacturers are connected together via SLI bridge connector in a system that provides two/three x16 PCI Express slots to scale graphics performance. The picture below shows that two and three graphics cards are linked in parallel in an SLI configuration.

SLI Confi guration:

SLI bridge connector (provided by motherboard manufacturer) of the same type. (Example: GV-N28-1GH-B)

3-Way SLI Configuration:

3-Way SLI bridge connector (provided by motherboard manufacturer) Three SLI-ready graphics cards of the same type. (Example: GV-N28-1GH-B)

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.)

■ Set Up Multiple Displays

NVIDIA nView technology enables you to view your desktop in one of several multi-display modes to make the best use of the displays (monitors) that are connected to your computer.

Dual-Monitor Setup

You can set the display to output from two monitors on the Set Up Multiple Displays page.

Set Up Multiple Displays Microsoft Office Technology allows you to specify how you would file or use multiple displays. 1. Tested the display you need to use. Solutions: 57.000 Microsoft Windows My display is not more. 2. Use your display configuration. 1° Prints Status Properties

Select your preferred nView display modes here.

• Only use one display (Single)
  • The same on both display (Clone)
• Configured independently from each other (Dualview)
• As one large horizontal desktop (Horizontal span)
  • As one large vertical desktop (Vertical span)

(1) The same on both display (Clone)

Clone mode indicates that both displays in the display pair show images of the same desktop.

Two identical computer monitors displaying a stylized food dish with green eyes and sauce, shown from different angles (no text or symbols visible)

Clone Mode

(2) Configured independently from each other (Dualview)

Dualview mode indicates that both displays in the display pair function as one virtual desktop. Unlike Horizontal Span or Vertical Span mode, Dualview treats each display as a separate device. This means that the taskbar will not be stretched across displays and 3D applications are not accelerated as efficiently as when the application spans displays.

Two computer monitors displaying desktop workstations and a file open, likely from Windows desktops or applications.

Dualview Mode

(3) As one large horizontal desktop (Horizontal span)

Horizontal Span mode indicates that both displays in the display pair function as one wide virtual desktop. The width of each display is half the width of the total virtual desktop width.

Two CRT computer monitors displaying abstract colorful images of a food item (no visible text or symbols)

Horizontal Span Mode

(4) As one large vertical desktop (Vertical span)

Vertical Span mode indicates that both displays in the display pair function as one tall virtual desktop. The height of each display is half the height of the total virtual desktop height.
