The entire Radeon HD 6700 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 15.

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.

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.

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.)

3.1. Driver and Utility Installation

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.

GIGABYTE will fulfill the national laws as interpreted from the 2002/96/EC WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directive. The WEEE Directive specifies the treatment, collection, recycling and disposal of electric and electronic devices and their components. Under the Directive, used equipment must be marked, collected separately, and disposed of properly.

WEEE Symbol Statement

The symbol shown below is on the product or on its packaging, which indicates that this product must not be disposed of with other waste. Instead, the device should be taken to the waste collection centers for activation of the treatment, collection, recycling and disposal procedure. The separate collection and recycling of your waste equipment at the time of disposal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. For more information about where you can drop off your waste equipment for recycling, please contact your local government office, your household waste disposal service or where you purchased the product for details of environmentally safe recycling.

• When your electrical or electronic equipment is no longer useful to you, "take it back" to your local or regional waste collection administration for recycling.
• If you need further assistance in recycling, reusing in your "end of life" product, you may contact us at the Customer Care number listed in your product's user's manual and we will be glad to help you with your effort.

Finally, we suggest that you practice other environmentally friendly actions by understanding and using the energy-saving features of this product (where applicable), recycling the inner and outer packaging (including shipping containers) this product was delivered in, and by disposing of or recycling used batteries properly. With your help, we can reduce the amount of natural resources needed to produce electrical and electronic equipment, minimize the use of landfills for the disposal of "end of life" products, and generally improve our quality of life by ensuring that potentially hazardous substances are not released into the environment and are disposed of properly.
