The entire Radeon HD5870/HD5850/HD5830 series 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. For more details, refer to page 12.

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.

2.2. 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.

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.

CATALYST® A.I.

Catalyst® A.I. makes use of ATI's new texture analyzer technology to optimize performance in 3D applications while maintaining or even improving image quality. It analyzes individual textures as they are loaded to determine the best and fastest way to display them.

■ Mipmap Detail Level

Mipmapping is a texturing technique that preserves the detail on a 3D object's surface as it moves into the background. A series of low- and high-resolution texture maps are stored in memory and selectively used to create the object's surface, depending on what level of detail is needed.

Mipmap detail level can be set to favor either an increase in system processing performance or improved image quality:

• Setting for performance is best used when the 3D image is animated and smoothness of motion is the most important consideration.
• Setting for quality is best used when high surface detail is required, especially if the animated object rotates or moves into the background.
