HARDWARE INSTALLATION  HARDWARE INSTALLATION

 Before You Begin

The GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics card is a PCI Express 3.0 ×16 graphics

card. Your computer may already have a graphics card installed in the

PCI Express slot. If so, you will need to remove that graphics card and

replace it with the GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics card.

If you do not have a graphics card, this means that your motherboard

has on-board graphics (there is a graphics chip installed on your

motherboard or integrated in the motherboard chipset). If this is the

case, there is no action that needs to be taken before installing your

new graphics card.

Installing the GeForce Graphics Card

Because there are so many different computer systems on the market,

the procedure to install the GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics card can

vary from system to system. Use the following instructions as a

guideline and consult the documentation for

your computer system for any further information on your individual

system.

Note: It is important that all power to the computer be

disconnected before you install the graphics card.

Discharge your body’s static electricity by touching a grounded surface

before touching the graphics card. A grounded surface is the computer

chassis, or some other surface you know to be grounded.

Use the following procedure to install the GeForce GTX 980 Ti

graphics card into your computer system.

1 Turn off your computer and monitor and disconnect the power cord.

Depending on your computer system, you may need to disconnect the

cable going to the back of your system. Mark the cables so you can

make sure you reconnect them properly.

2 Open your computer by removing the cover/side panel. Refer to

your computer documentation from the original manufacturer

for assistance.

3 Remove any existing graphics card (if there is one). Save hardware

(such as screws and brackets) to use when installing the NVIDIA

graphics card.

!Attention: If your system has been running for a period of

time prior to opening the panels, it is very important that you

wait until the graphics card in your system has cooled before

taking the card out of the system. Graphics cards get very hot

when they have been operating for any length of time.

4 Remove two adjacent slot covers if you do not have a graphics card

installed.

Note: The GeForce GTX 980 Ti card is double-wide so it will

require removing two slot covers.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION  HARDWARE INSTALLATION

 5 Plug the GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics card into the Primary PCI Ex-

press x16 slot on your motherboard. This is often the slot closest to the

CPU but may be the second or third slot. Look for the slot labeled ×16.

It will likely be the only PCI Express slot with a retention lever on the

end of the slot or the one closest to the CPU

Note: It is recommended that you install the graphics card

into the primary PCI Express x16 slot. If you install the graphics

card into the secondary slot, your system may not recognize the

graphics card and there will be nothing displayed on the monitor.

Also note that on some motherboard SBIOS, the physical

location of the primary slot can be conﬁgured when there are

more than one PCI Express x16 slots.

If you are installing additional GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics cards for

an SLI conﬁguration, continue with step 6 (2-way SLI) or step 6 and 7

(3-way SLI). If you are only installing one GeForce card, go on to step 8.

Note: All of the graphics cards in an SLI conﬁguration must

be identical. Therefore, you must have all GeForce GTX 980 Ti

graphics cards.

6 Install a second GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphic card (2-way SLI):

a) Install the second GeForce card into the outer most PCI Express

x16 slot on the motherboard.

b) Connect the two GeForce GTX 980 Ti cards together using the dual

SLI bridge connector that came with your SLI-ready motherboard.

7 Install a third GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphic card (3-way SLI):

a) Install the third GeForce card into the middle PCI Express x16 slot

on the motherboard.

b) Connect the three GeForce GTX 980 Ti cards together using

the tripple SLI bridge connector that came with your SLI-ready

motherboard.

8 Connect one 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI Express auxiliary power

connectors to the top edge of the GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics card.

Note that the connectors and sockets on the graphics card have a

unique shape and connect one way only.

9 Reinstall the cover on your computer and reconnect any cables that

you removed earlier in the installation.



DisplayPort Connector (Qty Three)

Supports single-lane transfer rates

over a single cable. The interface

is primarily used to connect a video

source to a display device such as a

computer monitor.

HDMI (High-Deﬁnition Multimedia

Interface) Connector

Supports output of both video and

audio from the PC to a high-deﬁni-

tion television.

DVI Connector

Use this to connect a digital display.

Note: If you are connecting a VGA

display, you will need to obtain a

DVI-to-VGA adapter,

With the hardware installed, it is now time to

install the GeForce Experience software and the

graphics driver.

GeForce Experience Software Installation

1 Go to http://www.geforce.com/geforce-experience/download. to

download GeForce Experience software.

2 Accept the NVIDIA software license agreement by selecting AGREE
