(Note 1) The amount of HyperMemoryTM will only be shown in the Information Tab found in the CatalystTM
ControlCenter. Microsoft System Information program in Windows 7 and Windows Vista lists only
amount of videomemory on Display Adapter under Adapter RAM item.
The amount of HyperMemory available under Windows 7 and Windows Vista is calculated using the
followingformula:
Total HyperMemory = (System Memory- 512) / 2 + Discrete graphics amount.

Inspectthecardcartonforobviousdamage.Shippingandhandlingmaycausedamage
toyour card. Be surethereare no shipping andhandlingdamageson the card before
proceeding.
DO NOTAPPLY POWER TOYOUR 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.
The entire Radeon HD 5670 series support HDMI output which can handle both audio and
video signals. However, audio output from the onboard audio controller or the external
sound card will be disabled when HDMI output is activated.
If no need for HDMI output function, set the onboard audio controller or the external sound
card to be the default Sound Playback device to obtain audio output from your system. For
more details, refer to page 20.

computer cover.
Makesurethatthegoldedgeconnectorofthegraphicscardissecurely
inserted.
Step 3.
Plug the display cable into your card; then turn on the computer
and monitor. To connect a flat panel display to your graphics
card, use the DVI-I connector. To connect an HDMI monitor to
your graphics card, use the HDMI connector. To connect a
DisplayPort monitor to your graphics card, use the DisplayPort
connector.
You are now ready to proceed with the installation of the graphics card driver. Please refer to next
chapter for detailed instructions.

How to enable the ATI CrossFireXTM technology?
Step 1:
Install two CrossFireX graphics cards of the same chipset on a CrossFireX-supported motherboard and
connect the graphics cards via two CrossFire bridge interconnect cables (Figure 1). Then users can
enable the CrossFireX technology through the graphics card driver.
Two CrossFire bridge
interconnect cables. TwoCrossFiregraphics cardsofthe same type.
(Example: GV-RX195P256D-RH)
Figure 1
Step 2:
After installing graphics card driver in operating system, when an ATI CrossFireX configuration is
detected for the first time by the ATI Catalyst display driver, ATI CrossFireX support is automatically
enabled, and the best possible GPU combination is selected based on the hardware configuration.
IfATI CrossFireX is not enabled, access the ATI Catalyst Control Center (please refer to Page 15). From
theATI Catalyst Control Center, enter the CrossFireX menu and assure to select the Enable CrossFireXTM
check box (Figure 2).

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:
Select the displayed language and then click Next.
Step 3:
Click the Install button.
