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.

bleeding-edge games that use complex shadows

CineFX2.0 Engine

The second-generation CineFX 2.0 engine powers advanced

pixel and vertex shader processing and true 128-bit color

precision. Delivering double the floating-point pixel shader power

of the previous CineFX engine, CineFX 2.0 produces a visible

performance boost through its more efficient execution of pixel

shader programs.

High-Precision Graphics

By combining the incredible dynamic range of today's state-of-

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.
