Overview
1-3
1.1 Performance
The card is a graphics accelerator. Computer functions like disk access
and numerical calculation are not accelerated by the card. Because
these operations also occur as Windows programs are running, the
overall speed will depend on the mix of graphics operations and the
other types of operations. It is not unusual to obtain an overall system
speed increase of 2 times after installing the card. The speed of pure
graphics operations, like dragging objects with a mouse, scrolling, and
resizing, will be remarkably improved.
1.2 Software Compatibility
The key function of the card is its VGA compatibility. Unlike
coprocessor-based, or IBM8514A-type display cards, the card is 100%
compatible with your DOS computer. This means that all DOS software
will run correctly with the VGAcard without modification.
The VGA compatibility includes backward compatibility with the EGA,
CGA and MDA standards. All DOS software will include drivers for at
least one of these display types and will be fully compatible with the
card. The card is also fully compatible with AGP BIOS extensions for
resolutions higher than 640 by 480.
When the card is used in VGA, backward compatibility, 16-color AGP
modes, or the graphics engine of the ATI RADEON9200/9200 Pro
card is not used. The speed in these modes will be comparable to the
fastest type of standard VGA card.
1.3 Monitor Compatibility
The card will work with any VGA, Super VGA or Multisync monitor.

GRAPHIC CARD USER MANUAL
1-4
Super VGA monitors can support IBM standard VGA plus the 800x600
extended mode used by most VGA cards, and the 1024x768 interlaced
mode used by most VGA cards and the IBM 8514A.
Multisync monitors are more expensive and will work at all Super VGA
resolutions plus additional higher resolutions or refresh rates. The most
useful multisync monitor specification for determining maximum
resolution and refresh capability is the horizontal frequency range. For
PC use, the lower limit of the range must be no less than 30KHz. The
upper limit is usually 48K Hz, 57K Hz or 64K Hz. These correspond to a
maximum resolution of 1024 x 768, 60 Hz refresh, 1024 x768, 72 Hz refresh
rate; and 1280x1024, 60 Hz refresh rate, respectively.
By default, the card will drive your monitor at a screen refresh rate of 60
Hz. In other words, it repaints the screen 60 times per second. If the
screen is not displayed properly when you boot your system, your
monitor may not support this refresh rate for the resolution chosen. In
this case, you must either lower the resolution to one that can be
supported at 60Hz or lower the refresh rate. The maximum refresh rate
supported by your monitor is specified with the Refresh Rate utility.
Refer to your manual for information on the monitor capabilities. If you
are not sure what refresh rate is supported, you can always try a higher
rate. If the screen looks good, the rate is supported (and will be easier
on your eyes).

Installation
2.1 What’s Included in the Package
The VGA card package includes the following:
1. VGA card accelerator card
2. Software diskettes which contain the necessary files
3. This manual
2.2 Installing the Card
1. Unplug the computer and remove the cover.
Shut down the computer and turn off any attached equipment (such as a
monitor or printer).
Unplug the power cord.
Remove the cover.
2. Remove the current graphics card.
If there is a graphics card currently in the computer, use the following
guidelines to remove it:
Detach any cables which are attached to the current graphics card and
remove the bracket screw locking the card down.
Grasp the card by the edges and pull it
straight out of the motherboard slot. If
the card sticks in the slot, rock it gently
from end to end to dislodge it.
Remember to save the screw.

Note:
If the computer has a graphics chip soldered down on the
motherboard, refer to the manual for the system or motherboard for
information on how to disable it.
3. Insert the Graphics Accelerator card.
Locate the empty AGP socket on the
motherboard and use the following
instructions to insert the Graphics
Accelerator reference card into that
socket:
Grasp the Graphics Accelerator
reference card by its edges.
Align it with the empty AGP socket on
the motherboard, and gently insert it into place.
Make sure that the card is pressed evenly and completely into the socket.
Fasten the card with the bracket screw.
Note:
Use the figure above to help locate the Accelerated Graphics Port
(AGP) socket on your motherboard. The exact configuration of the
components on your motherboard may differ from the figure. Look
for a single, smaller socket between the set of PCI sockets and the
processor.
4. Reconnect all cable and Replace the cover.
Plug the cable from your computer
monitor into the back of the
Graphics Accelerator reference
card. Make sure it is securely
fastened. Carefully replace the
computer cover and plug the
power cord back in.

Installation

Caution!
Before you turn on your system, you have to be sure the
VGA card is setup already and all the cables are connected.
DO NOT connect / disconnect TV-out cable when your TV or
PC is Power On.

Software Utility
The card is 100% VGA compatible and as such needs no special display
drivers to run application software correctly at standard VGA resolutions
and color depths. However, enhanced display drivers are supplied with the
VGA card because they provide accelerated performance, higher color
depths and higher resolutions for software applications. The VGA card
supports resolutions as high as 2048x1536 pixels, and color depths of up to
32 bits per pixel. Higher graphics resolutions and higher color depths
provide greater clarity and detail when using the supplied drivers for
graphics programs. When configuring your software to work with the
board, it may help to bear in mind that the drivers compatible with the
VGA card fall into four categories.
Driver Installation Procedure
General Installation Notes:
1. Before install Windows 95 Driver, please install Windows 95
OSR2.0 ”USBSUPP.EXE” first (brings it up to OSR2.1 level).
2. The operating system and DirectX* must be installed on the system
prior to installation.
To install Windows 95 OSR2.0 with USB, you must have OSR2.0 installed
already. Otherwise, first install OSR2.0 and then use the USB support
update (your must use the same update language of your Windows
language).
Install USBSUPP
1. Start Windows Explorer.
2. Click on the CD ROM drive to display the contents of the CD ROM
disk.
3. Double click on D:\USBSUPP\USBSUPP.EXE (English)
(If D is not your CD-ROM drive, substitute D with the correct drive letter.)
OSR2.0 with USB has:
Version “Windows 95” and Version Number “4.03.1212” or “4.03.1214”.
