1. Introduction

1.1. Features

•The graphics card supports NVIDIA TurboCache technology, which enhances graphics card

performance by allowing the graphics processing unit (GPU) to dynamically share the

available system memory. The total effective VGA memory differs depending on system

memory. See the following tables for details:

•Powered by NVIDIA®GeForce™7100 GS Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

•Supports the newest PCI Express x16

•GV-NX71G512P8(-RH) Integrated with 128MB DDRII memory

GV-NX71G256P4-RH Integrated with 64MB DDRII memory

•Supports DirectX 9.0c

•Supports NVIDIA® SLITM (Scalable Link Interface) technology via the PCI Express bus(Note)

(For GV-NX71G512P8-RH / GV-NX71G512P8 only)

•Supports AV / S-Video and HDTV output

•Provides D-Sub and DVI-I connectors

1.2. Minimum System Requirement

•Intel®Pentium®4 or AMD AthlonTM or higher

•One PCI Express x16 slot

•Operating Systems Windows®2000 / Windows®XP

•512 MB of system memory

•200 MB of available disk space for full installation

•CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive

(Note): SLI technology requires a PCI Express motherboard with two x16 physical

connectors. Graphics cards working in an SLI configuration must be of the same model and

from the same vendor. To support SLI technology via the PCI Express bus, the

GV-NX71G512P8(-RH) requires driver version 91.47 or later.

Hardware Installation- 5 -

English

Expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To

protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some

precautions whenever you work on your computer.

1. Turn off your computer and unplug power supply.

2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have

one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as

the power supply case.

3. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the

components whenever the components are separated from the system.

The card contains sensitive electric components, which can be easily damaged by static

electricity, so the card should be left in its original packing until it is installed.

Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded anti-static mat. The operator

should be wearing an anti-static wristband, grounded at the same point as the anti-static

mat.

Inspect the card carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling may cause damage

to your card. Be sure there are no shipping and handling damages on the card before

proceeding.

DO NOT APPLY POWER TO YOUR SYSTEM IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED ON

THE CARD.

In order to ensure your graphics card working correctly, please use official

Gigabyte BIOS only. Use none official Gigabyte BIOS might cause problem

on the graphics card.
