User manual MSI N460GTX HAWK GETTING STARTED

[. . . ] 32x Anti-aliasing Technology Lightning fast, high-quality anti-aliasing at up to 32x sample rates obliterates jagged edges. Dual-link DVI Support Able to drive industry's largest and highest resolution flat-panel displays up to 2560x1600 and with support for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). NVIDIA PureVideo TM HD Technology The combination of high-definition video decode acceleration and post-processing that delivers unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for movies and video. Hardware Decode Acceleration Provides ultra-smooth playback of H. 264, VC-1, WMV, DivX, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 HD and SD movies without the need for a dual or quad-core CPU. [. . . ] Microsoft DirectX 11 Support DirectX 11 GPU with Shader Model 5. 0 support designed for ultrahigh performance in the new API's key graphics feature, GPU-accelerated tessellation. NVIDIA CUDA TM Technology CUDA technology unlocks the power of the GPU's processing cores to accelerate the most demanding system tasks - such as video transcoding - delivering up to 7x performance over traditional CPUs. NVIDIA 3D VisionTM Surround Ready Expand your games across three displays in full stereoscopic 3D for the ultimate "inside the game" experience with the power of NVIDIA 3D Vision and SLI technologies. NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround also supports triple screen gaming with non-stereo displays. NVIDIA 3D Version surround requires (1) specific drivers released by NVIDIA, (2) two or more graphic cards in NVIDIA SLI configuration, (3) 3D vision glasses, and (4) three identical displays in support of 3D version. Dual-link HDCP Capable Designed to meet the output protection management (HDCP) and security specifications of the Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD formats, allowing the playback of encrypted movie content on PCs when connected to HDCP-compliant displays. Software To install the driver of the VGA card to your computer, please follow the steps below: 1. The Autorun program will start the Setup program, and show the setup screen as follows: Tip: If, on your computer, the Autorun program does not execute automatically, please 1) enable the CD-ROM drive Auto-detect function from Control Panel; or 2) find and run the setup. exe file manually from the CD. Click the Driver tag, and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation. After finishing the installation, restart the computer as instructed. HAWK Features > Triple Over Voltage (by Afterburner) The World's First graphics card supports voltage adjustment of GPU, Memory, and PLL by Afterburner. With more options to adjust, the maximum performance of GTX 460 can be totally unleashed!7+1 Phase PWM Design N460GTX Hawk uses 7+1 Phase PWM design which increases the maximum current value up to 120A. With extra 30A current output, overclocking power capability of N460GTX Hawk will be largely improved!Military Class Components MSI graphics cards adopt the high quality components that meet the Military Class standard, ensuring the best stability, longest life span, and no buzz noise under full load. Use MultiMeter to read the exact GPU and Memory voltage value from the V-Check points directly. Dual PWM Fans Dual Ultra Quiet fans provide 50% better thermal efficiency and direct airflow to cool down GPU, memory, and power module at once. Multiple Heatpipes Multiple Heatpipes can transfer heat much faster to the fins under the dual PWM fans, and the fans dissipate heat directly from the fins. High-Density Heatsink Ultra high-density aluminum heatsink has large area for heat dissipation. Nickel-plated Copper base Large copper based coated with nickel provides the fastest heat dissipation and the bigger contact area with GPU. Direct Contact Design Copper base, heasink and heatpipe are all connected together and directly contacted, creating the shortest path to dissipate the heat of GPU and to improve cooling efficiency. > > > > > > > > To operate the overclocking function, it is required to install the Hawk Afterburner application in advance.
