Hardware Installation

installation procedure, consult a qualiﬁed computer technician. Damage to the system components, the

graphics card, and injury to yourself may result if power is applied during installation. Now that you have prepared

your computer, you are ready to install your graphics card.

Quick Start

1. Before starting installation, it is recommended to completely remove all drivers for your existing graphics card.

(If you have one)

2. Power off the computer and all attached devices (monitors, keyboard, mouse, etc.).

3. Disconnect the display cable from your current display adapter on the back of the computer.

4. Remove your existing graphics card (if you have one) from your computer. You will do this by removing the

retaining screw and pulling the card out in a straight up fashion. Please note that your motherboard may have a

PCI Express (PCI-E) latch on the slot that needs to be pressed in ﬁrst.

(NOTE: If your motherboard has integrated or onboard video, you may need to disable it ﬁrst, please contact

your system or motherboard manufacturer for additional information.)

Preparing Your Computer

WARNING: Turn off the power to your system and discharge your body’s static

electric charge by touching a grounded surface – for example, the metal surface of

the power supply or chassis – before performing any hardware procedure. EVGA

assumes no liability for any damage, caused directly or indirectly, by improper

installation of any components. If you do not feel comfortable with performing the

Hardware Installation Details

Graphics Cards Requiring Additional Power

PCI Express (PCI-E) and PCI slots are different, so prior to installation; please verify that the graphics card bus type

and available slot are the same.

If your graphics card is equipped with a supplemental power adapter, it is required that it be connected at the time

of installation. This supplemental power adapter ensures that your graphics card receives the necessary power

that will allow it to function at optimal performance levels. Your card may require one or two 6 or 8-pin PCI Express

(PCI-E) supplemental power connectors. Please note that the 8-pin PCI-E power connector is not the same as the

8-pin CPU power connector. Please see the below illustration.

5. Align your new card with the appropriate slot, (see illustration below) and press it in ﬁrmly until the card is fully

seated. Make sure that the metal contacts of the card are completely pushed into the expansion slot.

6. Connect the supplemental PCI Express (PCI-E) power adapter(s) to the card if applicable. (See illustration

below.)

7. Replace the retaining screw to fasten the card into place, and then replace the computer cover.

8. Reconnect any devices that you detached during installation, and then connect the monitor’s video cable to

your new graphics card.

9. Apply power to your system, boot to the operating system and install the proper drivers.

SLI Installation (optional)

On some EVGA graphics cards, it is possible to link multiple graphics cards up for improved performance, this is

called SLI. To install multiple cards in SLI, follow the below instructions, please note that in SLI setups both cards

must be the same model. For a video overview of setting up SLI, please visit

www.evga.com/twit.asp?id=517

Software Installation

When you boot up your computer for the ﬁrst time after installing your new graphics card, Windows may detect a

new display device and attempt to install the drivers. If it gives you the option to cancel, please do so, otherwise

wait for Windows to complete the installation (a reboot may be necessary).

After this process has been completed, it is necessary to install the recommended drivers for your graphics card.

To begin, insert the EVGA Installation DVD/CD and allow the autorun driver installation menu to start.

Install your ﬁrst GeForce graphics card

into the Primary PCI Express x16 slot.

The above SLI bridges are included with your SLI ready motherboard depending on the conﬁgurations that it supports. In order for your

SLI setup to work properly you would need to use the appropriate bridge based on the number of cards you are connecting.

2-way SLI

2-way SLI: Install your second GeForce

graphics card in to the outer PCI Express

x16 slot. Connect the two cards together

using the 2-way SLI bridge connector that

came with your SLI-ready motherboard.

3-way SLI

3-way SLI: Install the third GeForce card into

the middle or secondary PCI Express

slot on the motherboard. Connect the

GeForce cards together using the 3-way

SLI bridge connector that came with your

SLI-ready motherboard.

4-way SLI

Setting up Multiple Displays

The NVIDIA Control Panel allows you to conﬁgure a multi-display environment, whether it is through multiple

computer monitors or by using a monitor in conjunction with an HDTV. The ability to use multiple displays within

Windows can simplify many everyday tasks by spreading out the Windows Desktop area or by allowing you to

watch a movie on one of the displays. Multiple display conﬁguration can be made in the “Set up multiple displays”

subsection located in the NVIDIA Control Panel. To access the NVIDIA control panel, simply right click on the

desktop, and select “NVIDIA Control Panel.”

Single Mode

Select just one checkbox for the monitor you wish to use as your single display. This will disable the secondary

output and is the default setting if you only have one monitor connected to the graphics card.

Extended Mode

Select two or more checkboxes to enable more than one monitor. Once checked, right click on the monitors in the

section below to set the desired mode. Extended desktop mode can independently control resolution and refresh

rate settings for each display.

Duplicate Displays

Select two or more checkboxes to enable more than one monitor. Once checked, right click on the monitors in the

section below to set them to duplicate display mode, and select the primary monitor. Duplicate displays require

identical resolutions between both displays.

Enabling SLI (optional)

If you installed cards in SLI mode, now you will need to enable SLI to get the full performance from your setup. To

enable SLI, visit the NVIDIA control panel by right clicking on the desktop, and select “NVIDIA Control Panel.” Next,

select “Set SLI and PhysX conﬁguration.” Finally, select “Maximize 3D Performance” and select apply. To see a

video overview of the SLI installation procedure, please visit www.evga.com/twit.asp?id=517

Note: If the autorun driver installation menu does not appear, it can be launched manually by clicking on the

“Computer” or “My Computer” icon, and double clicking the icon for your DVD/CD drive. After that double click on

the “autorun.exe” ﬁle.

Once the autorun installation menu appears, select the “Install Video Drivers” button. This will start the driver

installation process.

Note: During installation, you may be prompted by the Microsoft WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) warning,

please select the “Continue” or “Install this driver software anyway” option, as it is safe to do so.

English

Problem: The computer will only display a black screen after it boots into Windows.

Cause: The integrated video adapter has not been disabled prior to installing the new graphics card and/or not

having uninstalled the display drivers from your previous display adapter.

Solution: Ensure the integrated video adapter has been disabled through your motherboard’s BIOS or the

Windows Device Manager prior to installing the new graphics card, and that you have uninstalled the drivers

through the Windows Control Panel. After the new card has been installed, connect the monitor cable and if

required, any supplemental power adapters to the new card before booting up the system.

Problem: Games lockup or crash to the desktop.

Solution: Verify that all the necessary hardware drivers are installed and up to date, including the chipset, video

and sound card drivers. Reinstall the latest version of DirectX (located on EVGA installation disc) or the game itself.

Also, verify the game has all the necessary patches installed that are available from the developer.

Problem: Where can I ﬁnd the latest drivers for my graphics card?

Solution: The latest drivers can be found at www.evga.com/support/drivers

Solution: Remove the card from the computer and reinsert it, making sure that the card is seated properly in the

slot, and then try to boot the computer again. If this does not work then the problem is either with the motherboard

or the graphics card and you should contact your hardware manufacturer for further assistance.

Quick Fixes

Problem: At boot-up, all you hear is a series of beeps from the computer, but see no screen.

Cause: The beep sounds are a warning sound from the motherboard BIOS that says it cannot initialize the

graphics card, this can mean one of four things:

1) The card is not seated properly.

2) There is a problem with the motherboard’s graphics card slot.

3) Supplemental PCI-E power is not connected to the graphics card.

4) There is a problem with the graphics card.

Problem: When viewing my PC on an HDTV, the entire desktiop is not visible, and certain areas; such as the

Windows taskbar, reside offscreen.

Solution: Firstly, ensure that you are running at the correct resolution for your display. If it is, try adjusting the

“Resize Desktop” feature. This lets you compensate for HDTV overscan so that the entire desktop is visible. In this

case, to view display elements that appear offscreen, NVIDIA recommends using the Ovescan Shift feature to pan

the desktop. You can access the Overscan Shift controls from the TV Settings page of the NVIDIA panel.
