1.2. Minimum System Requirements

•Hardware

- 400-wattsystempowersupplyspecificationoraboveisrecommended

- Intel®Pentium®4 orAMDAthlonTM XPclassprocessoror higher

- 1GBsystemmemory (2GB recommended)

- Opticaldrivefor software installation(CD-ROM orDVD-ROMdrive)

•OperatingSystem

- Windows®7

- Windows®Vista

- Windows®XP

•SLITM Configuration

If you are planning on using this graphics card as part of an SLI system, the following

arerequired:

- AnSLIcertifiedmotherboardwithtwoPCIe x16 slots and correct chipset driver

- TwoGV-N550OC-1GI/ GV-N550UD-1GI forSLI configuration;

- Apowersupplywith 600-watt or aboveisrecommended

- AnSLIbridgeconnector

(Note 1) SLI technology requires a PCI Express motherboard with two x16 physical connectors.

Graphics cards working in an SLI configuration must be with the same model name

(e.g. GV-N550OC-1GI / GV-N550UD-1GI)and from the same vendor (e.g. GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY).

2.2. Hardware Installation

Now that you have prepared your computer, you are ready to install your graphics card.

Step 1.

Locate the PCI Express x16 slot. If necessary, remove the

metal cover from this slot; then align your graphics card with

the PCI Express x16 slot, and press it in firmly until the card is

fully seated.

Makesurethatthegoldedgeconnectorofthegraphicscardissecurely

inserted.

Step 2.

Replace the screw to fasten the card in place, and replace the

computer cover.

Step 3.

This graphics card provides two DVI-I digital connectors and

one mini HDMI connector. You can connect a monitor that sup-

ports DVI-I function. To connect a HDMI monitor,you need a

cable or adapter to connect from the mini-HDMI connector to a

HDMI monitor.

- 9 - Hardware Installation

How NVIDIA®SLITM (Scalable Link Interface) technology works:

In an SLI configuration, two SLI-ready graphics cards of the same model and the same manufacturers

are connected together via SLI bridge connector in a system that provides two x16 PCI Express slots

to scale graphics performance. The picture below shows that twographics cards are linked in parallel

in an SLI configuration.

3. Software Installation

Notice the following guidelines before installing the drivers:

1. First make sure your system has installed DirectX 9 or later version.

2. Make sure your system has installed the appropriate motherboard drivers (for the motherboard

drivers, please contact the motherboard manufacturer.)

3.1. Driver and Utility Installation

3.1.1. Driver Installation

After installing the operating system, insert the driver disk into your optical drive. The driver Autorun

screen is automatically displayed which looks like that shown in the screen shot below. (If the driver

Autorun screen does not appear automatically, go to My Computer, double-click the optical drive and

execute the setup.exe program.)

For software MPEG support in Windows XP, you must install DirectX first. Users who run

Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or above do not need to install DirectX separately.

Step 1:

Click the Install Display Driver item.

Step 2:

Click the Next button.
