Note: If you purchased your Wildcat II 5000 Graphics Accelerator Card as part of a system, it is already
installed and configured. The following instructions for hardware installation are necessary only if you
purchased a customer kit or need to reinstall your video card.
Before you begin your installation
1. Save any work in progress and exit any open applications. Always back up your system before
you install any new hardware or software.
2. Have a Phillips-head screwdriver ready.
3. Turn off power to the computer.
Important: Physically remove the power cord from the system and wait 15 to 30 seconds for
standby power to dissipate. Damage can occur to add-in components if power is not physically
removed from the system during installation procedures.
4. Take every possible precaution against static electricity as you prepare to install the card. Static
can damage components. If an anti-static wrist strap was included in your box, please use it
during hardware installation. You should also try to work in a static free area (such as on a tile
floor rather than carpet).
Touch the metal chassis of the computer to drain off any static electricity before touching the card.
Do not wear wool or polyester clothing.
Work in an area with a relative humidity of at least 50 percent.
Keep the card in the anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.
Handle the card as little as possible and only by the edges.
Note: Be sure to register your new card using one of the options described on page 16.
Installing your Wildcat II 5000 Graphics Accelerator Card
1. Refer to your computer’s documentation for instructions on opening and closing the computer,
identifying the AGP expansion slot and PCI expansion slots, and adding expansion cards.
2. Check your system documentation to locate the appropriate slot in which to install your card. The
adjacent PCI slot must be empty for cooling purposes.
3. Turn off power to the computer and to the monitor and disconnect the cables from the computer
(follow the instructions under Before you begin your installation).
Note: If you are replacing a graphics card, be sure to uninstall your old video driver software before
turning off your system and removing your old graphics card. Refer to Installing the Driver Software later
in this chapter for details on uninstalling drivers.
4. Remove the cover from your system so you can access the slots into which you will be installing
your Wildcat II 5000 Graphics Accelerator Card. If you have not already removed any existing
graphics card(s) from your system, then do so now.
3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Card User's Guide

and operating problems.
9. Remove the anti-static wrist strap, if used, and replace the cover on your system.
10. Reconnect the power cord.
If you are upgrading the graphics card in your system
Note: These instructions may be different than how you normally upgrade your graphics card or other
devices, but have been found to be the best method of insuring a successful installation of your new
hardware and software.
1. Uninstall the drivers for your old graphics card. Refer to your old graphics card’s documentation
or Help files for instructions on removing or uninstalling the old graphics card’s driver software.
2. Remove the existing graphics card from your system. To install your Wildcat II 5000 Graphics
Accelerator Card, see the hardware installation instructions.

Problem: My monitor is either blank, or the displayed image is distorted, scrambled or smaller
than I expected.
If the monitor is blank, be sure that your system and monitor are plugged in and
turned on. Is the monitor’s power cord attached securely? Check each component’s
documentation for the location and use of power connectors and switches.
Make sure that your video cable is connected securely to the monitor and to the
monitor connector on your Wildcat II 5000 Graphics Accelerator Card. See your
monitor documentation and Chapter 1 - Installation, in this document.
Your card might not be seated properly in the AGP or AGP Pro slot. Remove and
reinstall your card as described in Chapter 1 - Installation. Remember to use the
anti-static wrist strap when opening your system and handling the card.
Use the Last Known Good option in Windows NT, or restart Windows 2000 in
Safe Mode and select a supported resolution and refresh rate. See Obtaining a
Usable Video Resolution later in this chapter for instructions.
Reboot into VGA/Safe Mode to verify the display properties are configured
correctly for the monitor type. If the software setup is correct, use a similar type
monitor (if available and functioning properly) to determine if the workstation is
defective. See Obtaining a Usable Video Resolution in this chapter for instructions
on determining if you have a defective unit.
Problem: The performance of and/or the available resolutions for my Wildcat II 5000 Graphics
Accelerator Card are not what I expected.
The Wildcat II 5000 Graphics Accelerator Card driver may not have installed fully,
or a file may have been corrupted. Try installing the driver again.
You may have selected a display setting that is incompatible with accelerated 3D
graphics applications. See the Wildcat Monitor tab in your 3Dlabs display control
panel for a list of compatible resolutions.
You may have not selected the correct monitor for your monitor vendor and type.
Go to the Wildcat Monitor tab and select your monitor vendor and type from the
list. If your vendor and/or monitor is not listed, consult your monitor
documentation for alternatives..
Use the Last Known Good option in Windows NT, or restart Windows 2000 in
Safe Mode and select a supported resolution and refresh rate. See Obtaining a

Bit depth is another way of expressing the numbers of colors available. A color bit depth of 8 is
equivalent to 256 colors, a bit depth of 16 (15 bit of color plus a 1 bit overlay) yields 32768 colors, and a
bit depth of 32 (24 bit RGB plus 8 bit of overlays) equals 16.7 million colors. The latter is often referred
to as true color.

The process of converting an image with a certain bit depth to one with a lower bit depth. Dithering
enables the application to convert an image’s colors that it cannot display into two or more colors that
closely resemble the original. Dithering works because the mind is tricked by the pattern of colors into
thinking it’s a different color.

A feature that delivers photo-realistic images by wrapping 2D bitmaps around 3D objects closely
matching the texture to the object. MIP-Mapping allows different versions of a texture to be used for
objects of different sizes. It also enables faster performance as textures do not need to be scaled in real
time.
