Introduction
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

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.
- Turn off your computer and unplug the power supply.
- 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 a metal object, such as the power supply case.
- Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that comes 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.
- To ensure that your graphics card can work correctly, please use the official GIGABYTE BIOS only. Using non-official GIGABYTE BIOS might cause a problem(s) on the graphics card.
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.
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 the 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 via an 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:
Software Installation
Notice the following guidelines before installing the drivers:

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.
