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 antistatic 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 IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED ON

THE CARD.

In order to ensure your graphics card working correctly, please use official

Gigabyte BIOS only. Use none official Gigabyte BIOS might cause problem on the graphics card.

2.2. Hardware Installation

Installing Your Graphics card.

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

To install your graphics accelerator card:

1. Power off the computer and monitor, then disconnect the display cable from the back of your computer.

2. Remove the computer cover. If necessary, consult your computer's manual for help in removing the cover.

3. Remove any existing graphics card from your computer.

Or, if your computer has any on-board graphics capability, you may need to disable it on the motherboard. For more information, see you computer documentation.

3D Properties:

You can adjust Direct3D and OpenGL settings from 3D properties page.

Direct3D Settings: n Use custom settings checkbox

When Use sustom settings is checked, you can click

"Custom" button to access Custom Settings. Using

Custom Settings is recommended for advanced users only.

n SMOOTHVISION 2.1 l Anti-Aliasing checkbox improves image quality by removing jagged edges from 3D images, resulting in smoother, more naturallooking objects. Selecting Application Preference will result in high quality images, with negligible reduction in the application's performance.

l Anti-Aliasing slider can be applied using different sample patterns and sample points such as

2X, 4X, or 6X. Moving this slider to the right increases sampling to provide the most realistic 3D image.

l Anisotropic Filtering checkbox uses a texture filtering technique that blends multiple texture samples together. Selecting Application Preference will result in high quality textures, with a negligible reduction in the application's performance.

l Anisotropic Filtering slider By moving this slider to the right, as the number of samples taken increases, the quality of the final image increases significantly. 16X provides extremely detailed,crisp-looking images as a result of the largest number of texture samples possible.

n Texture Preference slider

Selecting this decides whether your application should use high quality or high performance textures. Moving the slider to the right delivers the highest quality experience. Moving the slider to the left emphasizes a high performance solution while still providing good visuals.

- 21 Software Installation

n Mipmap Detail Level slider

This will allow you to choose the texture quality of the mipmaps the application will use. Mipmaps are a collection of different sized textures of the same image. As the user moves closer to a 3D object the image quality should increase, requiring a higher quality texture of the same image.

The base mipmap is the highest quality texture, and all subsequent mipmaps are smaller sized textures of the same image. Moving the slider to the right selects a higher quality base mipmap, delivering the highest quality application experience. Moving the slider to the left selects a lower quality mipmap, delivering the highest application performance.

n Wait for Vertical Sync

This will lower the frame rate of full screen games but reduce the image tearing that can occur with the higher frame rate. Selecting Application Preference allows the application to decide whether or not it should display its frames at the refresh rate of the monitor. Selecting Always

Off allows the application to run at its highest possible frame rate, regardless of the monitor’s refresh rate which is typically less than the frame rate at which the application will run.

n TRUFORM makes the curved surfaces of 3D objects look smoother and more lifelike.

n Compatibility Settings button

This button allows you to access advanced settings that can solve compatibility issues for a few specific Direct 3D applications.

l Support DTX texture formats allows applications to use this kind of texture format. There are a few applications that can only support a limited number of texture formats. By selecting Disabled, the driver will not support DTX texture formats, thus reducing the number of texture formats supported.

l Alternate pixel center This may eliminate problems with some Direct3D games which display vertical and horizontal lines around textures, or text that appears incorrect. However, this setting should only be used if you are experiencing the symptoms mentioned, as it may cause problems with other games.

l Defaults button allows you to reset the Direct3D Compatibility Settings to default values.

VPU Recover Properties:

The VPU Recover Properties allows the ATI display driver to reset the graphics accelerator when it stops responding to commands from the display driver. Using VPU

Recover the display driver will, in most cases, be able to reset the graphics accelerator without requiring a system restart.

VPU Recover Settings: n Enable VPU Recover n Prepare an error report if VPU Recover is activated, for submission to ATI Technologies.

OVERDRIVE(tm) Properties:

The OVERDRIVE ™ Properties maximizes the performance of your graphics accelerator by dynamically increasing the speed of your graphics processor to the optimal level. By constantly monitoring the temperature of the graphics processor the maximum clock speed is always maintained.

Display Properties:

If your VGA card is equipped with a S-Video connector, you can use a second output device (e.q. a TV or a computer monitor) as part of your operating desktop extending your desktop to second device or copying your desktop on the second device.

Select Display Type

Enable / Disable "Extend my windows desktop onto this monitor"

The Display tab provides the multi monitor features.

Here you can enable/disable display devices and swap the assignment of Primary and Secondary displays.

Connecting your graphics card to a TV or VCR

To connect your GV-RX80T256V graphics card to a TV (or VCR), use an S-Video cable. However, most TVs (and VCRs) have a Composite video input, in which case you can use the supplied S-

Video-to-Composite video adapter.

1. Turn off your computer and your television (or VCR).

2. Ensure your graphics card was installed correctly. (For information about placing the card in your computer and installing the enhanced graphics driver, see the user's manual.)

3. Determine if your television (or VCR) has an S-Video or Composite video connection.

4. Looking at the back of your computer, locate your S-Video Out. Using an S-Video cable or the supplied adapter cable, attach one end of the cable to your graphics card and the other to your television (or VCR).

5. Turn on your television (or VCR) then your computer.
