Features and Specifications
Video-338/348PCI series
CineFX 3.0 Engine
The third-generation of the NVIDIA® CineFX™ engine unleashes the
power of the latest NVIDIA GPUs and streamlines the creation of
complex visual effects. Through the power of the Microsoft® DirectX®
9.0 Shader Model 3.0 and OpenGL® 1.5 APIs, programmers can now
develop shader programs utilizing these technologies and techniques:
Infinite length shader programs: With CineFX 3.0 there are
no hardware-imposed limitations on shader programs. The
technology and speed advancements of CineFX 3.0 ensure
that longer programs will run blazingly fast.
Dynamic flow control: Additional looping/branching options
and new subroutine call/return functions give programmers
even more choices for writing efficient shader programs.
Displacement mapping: CineFX 3.0 allows vertex processing
with textures, providing a new level of depth and realism to
every component, surface, and character in a scene.
Displacement mapping allows developers to make subtle
changes in a model’s geometry with very little computational
cost.
Vertex frequency stream divider: Effects can be efficiently
applied to multiple characters or objects in a scene, providing
individuality where models are otherwise identical.
Multiple Render Target (MRT) technology: MRTs allow for
deferred shading, a technique where the lighting of a scene
can be done after rendering all of the geometry, eliminating
multiple passes through the scene. Photorealistic lighting can
be created while avoiding unnecessary processing time for
pixels that do not contribute to the visible portions of an image.
With the increased horsepower provided by the CineFX 3.0 engine,
developers can create more unique game features and effects than ever
before. New effects include subsurface scattering, providing depth and
realistic translucence to skin and other surfaces; soft shadows for
sophisticated lighting effects; accurately represented environmental and
ground shadows; and global illumination for incredibly photorealistic
lighting. All of these effects can be combined to create intricate, detailed,
true-to-life scenes that completely immerse you in the game
environment.

NVIDIA CineFX 3.0 is poised to unleash a new level of programming
creativity. With full DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 support, the newest
Video-338/348PCI series will soon power a new generation of games
with unmatched realism, digital worlds with mind-blowing complexity,
and lifelike characters that move through cinematic-quality
environments.
Intellisample Technology
The industry’s fastest antialiasing delivers ultra-realistic visuals, with no
jagged edges, at lightning-fast speeds. Visual quality is taken to new
heights through a new rotated grid sampling pattern.
UltraShadow II Technology
Video-338/348PCI series of GPUs delivers the patent-pending NVIDIA®
UltraShadow™ II technology, which can be applied to today’s games to
build stunning visual effects and to create distinctive digital
environments. With a system powered by a Video-338/348PCI series
GPU, anytime a game or application calculates shadows, UltraShadow II
will enhance the overall performance. With UltraShadow II hardware, the
more passes that are required for the lighting and shadow calculations in
a scene, the more significant the performance improvement, with the
most complex scenes achieving the most noticeable results.
Thus, emerging next-generation games, that employ multiple light
sources with many visible objects in each scene—such as Doom III from
id Software—will see dramatic improvements in execution speeds. The
technology advancements in UltraShadow II also deliver a 4×
performance increase (compared to the previous generation) for passes
involving shadow volumes.
NVIDIA UltraShadow II gives developers the ability to calculate shadows
much more quickly by eliminating unnecessary areas from
consideration. By defining a bounded portion of a scene (called “depth
bounds”), and focusing calculations only on the area most affected by
the light source, developers can greatly accelerate the shadow
generation process. With the ability to fine-tune shadows within critical
regions, developers create incredible visualizations that mimic reality,
and still achieve awesome performance for fast-action games.
UltraShadow II also works perfectly with NVIDIA® Intellisample 3.0
technology to ensure that shadow edges are properly antialiased.
Unified Driver Architecture (UDA)
The NVIDIA UDA guarantees forward and backward compatibility with
software drivers. This simplifies upgrading to a new NVIDIA product
because all NVIDIA products work with the same driver software.

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 each
other.
2. If you are installing the video card into a system that has a
previous version of NVIDIA Display Driver. It is highly
recommended to remove the previous driver before installing
a new version. To remove previous driver safely with new
video card installed please do the following: 1) Press F8
during Windows boot to select and enter SAFE mode. 2)
Enter Control Panel and click on “Add Remove Programs” 3)
Uninstall previous versions of NVIDIA Video Display Driver.
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 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?
Explain 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.
Q: What kind monitors can display 800x600 modes or higher resolution mode?
Explain and Suggestion:
To display 800x600 resolution at 60Hz refresh rate, the monitor must 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 synchronizing a 48.0KHz scan rate
(e.g., Sony HG 1304, NEC 4D, 5D, Seiko 1450).
To display 1024x768 interlaced mode; the monitor must be capable of
synchronizing a 35.5KHz horizontal scan rate (e.g., NEC 3D, Seiko 1430 or
1440). To display 1024x768 non-interlaced mode at 60Hz, the monitor must be
capable of synchronizing a 48.7KHz scan rate (e.g., Sony HG 1304, NEC 4D, 5D,
Seiko 1450).
To display 1024x768 non-interlaced mode at 70Hz, the monitor must be capable
of synchronizing a 56.4KHz scan rate (e.g., NEC 4D).
Q: System hangs-up after installing video driver.
Explain and Suggestion:
Today, most video drivers are developed for 32-bit processing and may require a
channel to Code/Decode. Conflict between device drivers and TSR (terminateand-stay-resident) programs will inverted the display, and are particularly
effectual at crashing computer. The most effective way to check for conflicts is to
replace with the original video driver, or delete and re-install the current video
driver to the system.
Accomplishing IRQs (Interrupt Request Query) settings or troubleshooting the
conflicts on hardware source may necessary. Most AGP video cards designed for
Plug-n-Play, that means video card IRQ's setup which controls by main board’s
(motherboard) circuitry and BIOS. Physically pulling out other devices from
system, and re-starts the computer. Confirm and modify your IRQ addresses with
qualified computer technician.

Q: Multiple images or unreadable 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. Some older multi-frequency monitors are unable
to switch video modes without being turned off, then turned on again.
If the problem occurring in windows, make sure that you have loaded that proper
video driver, and that the driver is compatible with the monitor being used. Try reconfiguring your application software to use a compatible video mode. If problem
persist in windows, load the standard generic VGA driver. The generic VGA
driver should function properly with virtually every video board and VGA (or
SVGA) monitor available.
If that is an unsatisfactory solution, you may have to upgrade to a monitor that
supports the desired video mode.
Some new monitors are also synchronizing this problem because built-in DDC
(Data-Digital-Channel) feature. Sometime that DDC automatically setup the
display frequency without loading video driver. Try to turn it off, or change
settings of monitor type in your system.
Q: Selection of color, resolution and refresh rate combination that always backs
to default after restart the system.
Explain and Suggestion:
Accordingly, there must be a bug (defected source-code) in video driver, or in the
system. Debug the source-code or fix the error in video driver that should be
done by the driver developer. Likewise, upgrade the video driver from the
manufacturer or from the original software developer is necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1 Why do we need 3D graphics capability in our PC?
Answer
3D technology is becoming increasingly important (and common) not only in
games, but also in other applications such as VRML, which allows 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 applications, 3D acceleration not only allows better
visual qualities and more realistic scenery attributes than software alone, but it
also allows a higher frame rate, which translates into a more interactive
experience for the end user.
Q2 What does “Rendering Engine” mean?
Answer
“Rendering Engine” generically applies to the part of the graphics engine that
draws 3D primitives, usually triangles. In most implementations, the rendering
engine is responsible for interpolation of edges and "filling in" the triangle.
Q3 What does the set-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 to be pre-processed
for the rendering engine in terms of delta values for edges, color, 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 especially true of an application that uses texturing extensively,
because texturing and texture filtering are very intensive operations at the pixel
level in terms of CPU operations and demands for memory bandwidth. Without a
set-up engine in a graphics controller, the CPU has to calculate the delta values
for edges, color, and textures; the drivers need to handle ten (10) times more
extensive data. This results in slower 3D pipeline operations between the CPU
and the graphics controller.
Page 33
Video-338/348PCI Series
Copyright © 2013 Jaton Corporation, USA 33
Q5 If we use powerful CPUs, such as a Pentium™ 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 scenes 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 using the CPU for high-level game
logic, geometry, lighting, and rendering, all of which increase their demands. No
current CPU or system can perform advanced quality-enhancements (bilinear
filtering and alpha blending) in real time. Even general case texture mapping with
RGB lighting is too much for the current CPU generation.
Q6 What does "software 3D" mean?
Answer
Software 3D is generally used to mean using non-specific (2D) hardware in
conjunction with the CPU to render for 3D applications. Some of these
techniques allow usable 3D applications 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 popularity of good 3D hardware
at the consumer price level is inexorably compelling the public to expect
hardware level scene enhancements and frame rates.

Reducing Warranty Claim Rejections
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 less 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.
