Introduction

IntroductionIntroduction

3DForceFX 5600 series video accelerators are nVIDIA GeForceFX 5600 core technology based 128MB/256MB DDR memory modules built-in onboard totally. These AGP 8x-bus video accelerators are capable of driving very complex geometry and character animation images on your PC desktop incomparably, with truly genuine filling experience you may anticipate like never before. The particular emphasis of this AGP’s ability that is very ease of play all fancy PC games with preferred resolution, unique visual effects, life-like, and these much of realistic graphical improvements must be performed on high-end computers.

The nVIDIA GeForceFX 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 CineFX engine, the GeForce FX shifts the focus from simple pixel fill rate to sophisticated pixel shading. To maximized programming choice, the nVIDIA CineFX 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 CineFX engine features include the support of 1024 instructions in a single rendering pass, allowing for complex effects that aren’t practical in any other architectures. Complex lighting can dramatically improve the realism of images, but traditionally adds the rendering time. With GeForce FX 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.

New nVIDIA GPUs and PC platforms will incorporate AGP 8X capabilities and take full advantage of AGP 3.0 specification. 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 the are introduced.

For a number of years, Jaton has done a spectacular job of competing in the tough graphics card market. We’ve largely accomplished his task by always offering a little something extra over the competition. Jaton has been extremely innovative in the VIVO field, having championed both video out and video in, and also given users such neat little programs such as WinDVD Creator, which allows end users the ability to place a camera to record events.

We’ve also added a new Multi-standard video decoder and encoder chip onto our 3DForceFX 5600 Series Diamond Edition accelerators for high quality video input and TV output functions. This is a highly integrated circuit especially designed for desktop PC video applications and is a remarkable option - as opposed to just RGB and DVI such as the other makers offer.

However, as time and the market march on, the features that has always provided over the competition have now became more and more commonplace.

A matchless of hardware and software technology combination, the primary principles of 3DForce FX 5600 series video accelerators 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.

Q: Why is t he di splay shifted or changed si zes when I switch display modes ? Explain and Suggestion:

Some monitors l ack auto-sizing features or j ust do not synchronize properly to the video board output. In some cases, horizontal and verti cal display adjustments may be necessary. Use the monitor control panel func tions to adjust screen.

In other cases, mode type and refresh rate adjustments may be necess ary. Use the utility program, which provided by video card manufacturer or production developer. To centering the display with normal type (mode 3), and to reduce (decrease) the refresh rate with the monitor's specifi cation.

Q: What ki nd monitors can display 800x600 mode or hi gher resolution mode? Explain and Suggestion:

To display 800x600 resolution at 60Hz refresh rate, the monitor mus t be capable of synchronizing a 31.5KHz horizontal scan rate (e.g., NEC 2A, 3D). At 72Hz refresh rate, the monitor must be capable of s ynchronizing a 48.0KHz scan rate (e.g., Sony HG 1304, NEC 4D, 5D, Seiko 1450).

To display 1024x768 interlaced mode; the monitor must be c apabl e of synchronizing a 35.5KHz horizontal s can rate (e.g., NEC 3D, Seiko 1430 or

1440). To display 1024x768 non-interlaced mode at 60Hz, the monitor mus t be

capable of synchronizing a 48.7KHz scan rate (e.g., Sony HG 1304, NE C 4D, 5D, Seiko 1450).

To display 1024x768 non-interlaced mode at 70Hz, the monitor must be capable of synchronizing a 56.4KHz sc an rate (e.g., NEC 4D).

Q: Windows screen won't come up, it kicks back to DOS prompt. Why?

Explain and Suggestion: Windows® 95

Inadvertently, certain c onf i guration files (e.g., msdos.sys, and command.com) have been changed in the system. Proceed to correct that, i s re-boot the system with a system (Windows® 95) formatted floppy di skette.

There are many reasons to causi ng t he system booting-up with un-appropriated steps. Base on Micros of t support wizard on their WE Bsite, there are many technical articles to help users with this subjec t, such as troubleshoot i ng with VXD errors, virus, Fatal exceptions, et c., more details cover on each issue are descriptive and familiar with, and exclusively further to our support.

Q: System hangs-up after installing video driver. Explain and Suggestion:

Today, most video drivers are developed for 32-bit processing and m ay requi re a channel to Code/Decode. Conflict between device drivers and TSR (termi nateand-stay-resident) programs will inverted the display, and are particularly effectual at crashing computer. The most effective way to check for conflicts i s to replace with the original video driver, or delete and re-i nstall the current video driver to the system.

Accomplishing IRQs (Interrupt Request Query) set tings or troubleshooting the conflicts on hardware source may necessary. Most A GP video cards designed for Plug-n-Play, that means video card IRQ's set up whic h controls by main board’s (motherboard) circuitry and BIOS. Physically pulling out other devices from system , and re-starts the com put er. Confirm and modify your IRQ addresses with qualified computer technician.

Q: Multiple images or unreadabl e screen after loading video driver. Explain and Suggestion:

There are a variety of reasons why the display might be distorted. One common reason is a monitor mis-match. S ome older multi-frequenc y monitors are unable to switch video modes without bei ng turned off, then turned on again.

If the problem occurri ng i n windows, make sure that you have loaded that proper video driver, and that the driver is compatible with the monit or bei ng used. Try re-configuring your application s oftware to use a compatible video mode. If problem persist in windows, load the standard generic VGA driver. The generic VGA driver should function properl y with vi rtually every video board and VGA (or SVGA) monitor availabl e.

If that is an unsati sfactory solution, you may have to upgrade to a monitor t hat supports the desired video m ode.

Some new monitors are also synchronizing this problem because built-in DDC (Data-Digital-Channel) feature. S ometime that DDC aut omatically setup t he display frequency without loading video dri ver. Try to turn it off, or change settings of moni tor type in your system.

Q: Selection of color, resolution and refresh rate c ombination that always backs to default after restart the system.

Explain and Suggestion:

Accordingly, there m ust be a bug (defected source-c ode) i n vi deo dri ver, or in the system. Debug the source-code or fix the error in video driver that s houl d be done by the driver developer. Likewise, upgrade the video driver f rom the manufacturer or from the original software developer is neces sary.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1 Why do we need 3D graphics capability in our PC? Answer

3D technology is becomi ng i ncreasingly important (and common) not only in games, but also in ot her appl i cations such as VRML, which all ows 3D scene descriptions in Web applications. 3D technology is used for image editing, modeling, and an increasing number of in home and business applications. In games, as well as other appli cations, 3D accelerati on not only allows better visual qualities and m ore real i stic scenery attri butes than software alone, but it also allows a higher frame rate, which translates into a more i nteractive experience for the end user.

Q2 What does “Rendering Engi ne” mean? Answer

“Rendering Engine” generically applies to t he part of the graphics engine that draws 3D primitives, usuall y t ri angl es. In most implementations, the rendering engine is responsible for interpolation of edges and "filling in" t he t riangle.

Q3 What does the s et-up engine do in a graphics controller? Answer

A set-up engine allows drivers to pass triangles in the form of raw vertex information; whereas, most common designs force triangles t o be pre-processed for the rendering engine in terms of delta values for edges, col or, and texture.

Q4 Why does a 3D graphics chip need to have both a rendering engine and a setup engine?

Answer

Any “3D application”, a game, VRML, or modeling package, can benefit from 3D rendering. This is especiall y t rue of an application that uses t exturing extensively, because texturing and texture filt eri ng are very i ntensive operations at the pixel level in terms of CPU operations and demands for memory bandwidth. Without a set-up engine in a graphics control l er, the CPU has to calculate the delta values for edges, color, and textures; the drivers need to handle ten (10) times m ore extensi ve dat a. This results in sl ower 3D pipeline operations between the CPU and the graphics controller.

Q5 If we use powerful CPUs, such as a P entium™ 200, can a standard 2D graphics card achieve 3D performance?

Answer

Yes and no. Software rendering can take advantage of "tricks" learned by force of necessity through years of trial and error. With such stratagems, the speed of software rendering for simple s cenes can approach that of low-level hardware 3D rendering. On the other hand, as scenes become more complex (or frame sizes become larger), there are conflicts between usi ng t he CPU for high-level game logic, geomet ry, lighting, and rendering, all of which i ncrease their demands. No current CPU or s ystem can perform advanced qualityenhancements (bilinear filtering and alpha blending) in real time. Even general case texture mapping with RGB lighti ng i s too much for the c urrent CPU generation.

Q6 What does "s of tware 3D" mean? Answer

Software 3D is generally used to mean using non-specific (2D) hardware in conjunction with the CPU to render f or 3D appl i cations. Some of t hese techniques allow usable 3D applicati ons when high-powered and/or MMX™equipped CPU's are employed along with special-case software optimization techniques. As stated above, SW 3D can achieve credible results with today's (software optimized) applications, but the rising populari ty of good 3D hardware at the consumer price l e vel i s inexorably compelling the public t o expect hardware level scene enhancements and f rame rates.

Q7 What is “SGRA M”? Answer

Synchronous Graphics Random A ccess Memory (SGRAM) is a new and improved type of mem o ry, custom-designed for graphi cs use.

Q8 What is the advantage of as compared to ordinary DRAM? Answer

is now capable of running at much higher speeds than Fast Page Mode or EDO DRAM. Also, is able to execute a small number of frequently executed operations, such as buffer clears, specifi c to graphics applicati ons, independently of the controller.

To reduce the potential of incurring damages not covered by Manufacturers warranties, we strongly recommend the following:

• Read your manuals before installing peripherals and/or before making changes to the machine’s configuration;

• Ask your dealer if there are any known problems with the system requirements or installation procedures for any add-on products that your are purchasing;

• Buy industry standard products where compatibility issue are more likely to surface;

• If you are unsure about installation for a new product, contact your dealer’s service department.

We believe it is important for you to know and understand what your warranty coverage provides and what it does not.

We also want you to be aware that most hardware warranties only relate to the function of the hardware. In most cases, no assurances are given by the manufacturer that the hardware item will work in conjunction with any other hardware item. If a computer product is not working because it is not compatible with another product, or because it has not been properly installed and set-up, the manufacturer does not pay for the service time. To help avoid these inconveniences, contact a professional consultant that one can help you determine the possibility of incompatibility issue before you purchase add-on or accessories.
