Introduction
Video-248PCI-DVI video accelerator is based on nVIDIA GeForceFX
5700LE core technology. The Video-248PCI-DVI video accelerator is an
excellent 2D/3D multimedia video adapters for PCI local bus desktop
PCs’. This video card will provide multiple display outputs onboard for
DVI-I, TV-Out (Analog and Digital), Dual RGB out (Twin) as options.
The nVIDIA GeForceFX5700LE Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is
0.13µ Micron Process Technology, which delivers high performance
through faster clock rates. CineFX engine produces gaming effects on
par with the hottest motion pictures. Combined with 128-bit studio quality
color processing technology, 3D worlds and characters are more real
than anything is that’s come before. Powered by the CineFX2.0 engine,
the Video-248PCI-DVI shifts the focus from simple pixel fill rate to
sophisticated pixel shading. To maximized programming choice, the
nVIDIA CineFX2.0 engine includes the most complete hardware feature
implementation for both OpenGL and Microsoft DirectX
environments, including total support for the DirectX 9.0-vertex and pixel
shader specification.
Well-developed CineFX2.0 engine features include the support of 1024
instructions in a single rendering pass, allowing for complex effects that
aren’t practical in any other architecture. Complex lighting can
dramatically improve the realism of images, but traditionally adds the
rendering time. With Video-248PCI-DVI all of those gorgeous
enhancements are possible without sacrificing performance.
The Intellisample process uses gamma-adjusted sampling, taking into
account the dramatic physical differences between how your eyes and
monitor perceive light and color, making for much smoother and more
natural edge transitions.
As always, nVIDIA solution incorporate new technology and advances
without compromising the overall stability and quality of the system, and
nVIDIA Unified Driver Architecture (UDA) makes it painless to take
advantage of new capabilities as they are introduced.
A matchless of hardware and software technology combination, the
primary principles of Video-248PCI-DVI video accelerator that will
contribute many of new features and more benefits to your desktop
computing as well as the best-performance integrated, unusual quality
and exceedingly resolution.

Hardware Installation
Installation Procedures
!! WARNING !!
Discharge static electricity by
touching the GROUND such
as metal part of your case
connected with good power
ground before you handle the
electronic circuit boards.
The manufacturer assumes no liability for any damage, caused directly
or indirectly, by improper installation of any components by unauthorized
service personnel. If you do not feel comfortable performing the
installation, consult with a qualified computer technician
.
Steps:
1. Turn OFF all powers to your system, including any peripherals (printer,
external drives, modem, etc.).
2. Disconnect the power cord and the monitor cable from the back of the
computer.
3. Unfasten the cover mounting screws on your system and remove the
system cover. Refer to your system user manual for instructions to
determine the location of the mounting screws.
4. Remove the retaining screw that holds the slot cover in place. Slide
the slot cover out and put the screw aside (you will need it to secure
the adapter).
5. To install the adapter in AGP expansion slot, carefully line up the gold-
fingered edge connector on the adapter directly above the expansion
slot connector on the motherboard. Then press the adapter into place,
completely. Use the (remaining) screw you removed to secure the
adapter-retaining bracket in place.
6. Replace the computer cover. Secure the cover with the mounting
screws you removed in Step 3.
You have now completed the installation of your new graphics adapter on your
system.

Upgrade Steps:
Add or change your video adapter to an existing system, you
may precede a few steps before you install the new hardware
and software (video display driver). The followings are some of
the considerations:
1. To add a new adapter, ensure the mainboard has available
IRQ for new devices, and there is no conflict between the
each other.
2. If you try adding this video adapter to an ALL-IN-ONE
mainboard (which video port built-in already), then you have
to disable that port first. Otherwise, there will be a problem
for the new video adapter setup.
3. The driver installation for system upgrade is the same as
below, if error occurs when you proceed to step 1, 2 or 3,
please consult with your system dealer or the existing
hardware manufacturer support.

Technical Assistance
Q: Why is the display shifted or changed sizes when I switch display modes?
Explanation and Suggestion:
Some monitors lack auto-sizing features or just do not synchronize properly to
the video board output. In some cases, horizontal and vertical display
adjustments may be necessary. Use the monitor control panel functions to adjust
screen.
In other cases, mode type and refresh rate adjustments may be necessary. Use
the utility program, which provided by video card manufacturer or production
developer. To center the display with normal type (mode 3), and to reduce
(decrease) the refresh rate with the monitor's specification.
