Introduction

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.

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, et c.).

2. Disconnect the power cord and the m oni tor cable from the back of the

computer.

3. Unfasten the cover mount i ng screws on your system and remove the

system cover. Ref er to your system user manual for instructions to
determine the location of the mounting screws.

4. Remove the retaining screw that hol ds the slot cover in place. Slide

the slot cover out and put the sc rew aside (you will need it to sec ure
the adapter).

5. To install the adapter in AGP expansion slot, carefully line up the gol d-

fingered edge connector on the adapter direc tly above the expansion
slot connector on the motherboard. Then press the adapter into pl ace,
completely. Use t he (remaining) screw you removed to s ecure the
adapter-retaining bracket in plac e.

.

6. Replace the computer c over. Secure the cover with the mounting

screws you removed in Step 3.

You have now completed the instal l ation of your new graphics adapter on your
system.

 Upgrade Steps:

Add or change your video adapter to an existing system, you may
proceed a few steps before you install the new hardware and
software (video display driver). The followings are some of the
considers:

1. To change a new adapter, please remove the existing video
driver, or replace it to SVGA driver from Windows®98/Me
system before you remove the existing hardware.

2. To added a new adapter, ensure the mainboard that has
available IRQ for new devices, and there is no conflict
between the others.

3. 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, that will be a problem for
the new video adapter setup.

4. The driver installation for system upgrade as same as below,
if error occur when you proceed step 1,2 or 3, please consult
with your system dealer or the existing hardware
manufacturer support.

software’s CD, the Display Driver Installation and its procedures are
much easier for users to run with Windows 98/Me operating systems.
When you power-up the computer and boots-up in W i ndows, the Plug­n-Play detects new hardware and pops-up install wizard. Do Not
[Cancel] because you must place a default display setting from
Microsoft Windows for your video adapter, then restart your Windows.
After the desktop has loaded completely, insert the software’s CD into
CD ROM drive and proceed the display driver installation which
provided from hardware manufacturer.

1. Autorun feature brings-up the “Welcome Screen”, and you may
point to “display driver” then press on it.
