1. Introduction

1.1. Minimum System Requirements

• Hardware

- Motherboard with one or above PCI-Express x 16 slot

- 2GB system memory (4GB recommended)

- Optical drive for software installation (CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive)

• Operating System

- Windows® 10

- Windows® 8

- Windows® 7

※ 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 THE GRAPHICS CARD IS

DAMAGED.

☛ In order to ensure that your graphics card can work correctly, please use

official GIGABYTE BIOS only. Using non-official GIGABYTE BIOS might cause

problem(s) on the graphics card.

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 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.

☛Make sure that the gold edge connector of the graphics card is securely inserted.

Step 2.

Replace the screw to fasten the card in place, and

replace the computer cover.

※ If there are power connectors on your card, remember to

connect the power cable to them, or the system will not

boot. Do not touch the card when it’s operating to prevent

system instability.

Step 3.

Connect the appropriate cable to the card and the display. Finally, turn on

your computer.

2.1. SLI Technology

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

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

following are required:

 An SLI certified motherboard with two or above PCI-E x16 slots and

correct chipset driver

 A two-way SLI bridge connector

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 or above PCI Express x16 slots to scale graphics

performance. The picture below shows that two graphics cards are linked in

parallel in an SLI configuration.

2-Way SLI Configuration:

Two SLI-ready graphics cards of the same type

(Example: GeForce® GTX 1080 G1 Gaming)

3. Software Installation

Notice the following guidelines before installing the drivers:

1. First make sure your system has installed DirectX 11 or later version.

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

(For the motherboard drivers, please contact the motherboard

manufacturer.)

The separate collection and recycling of your waste

equipment at the time of disposal will help to conserve natural resources

and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and

the environment. For more information about where you can drop off

your waste equipment for recycling, please contact your local

government office, your household waste disposal service or where you

purchased the product for details of environmentally safe recycling.

☛ When your electrical or electronic equipment is no longer useful to

you, "take it back" to your local or regional waste collection

administration for recycling.

☛ If you need further assistance in recycling, reusing in your "end of

life" product, you may contact us at the Customer Care number listed

in your product's user's manual and we will be glad to help you with

your effort.

Finally, we suggest that you practice other environmentally friendly

actions by understanding and using the energy-saving features of this

product (where applicable), recycling the inner and outer packaging

(including shipping containers) this product was delivered in, and by

disposing of or recycling used batteries properly. With your help, we can

reduce the amount of natural resources needed to produce electrical and

electronic equipment, minimize the use of landfills for the disposal of

"end of life" products, and generally improve our quality of life by

ensuring that potentially hazardous substances are not released into the

environment and are disposed of properly.
