Users who run Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or above do not need to install DirectX separately. Setp 4: Click the Express or Custom icon and then click Next. The system is installing the components. Step 6: Click the Finish button to restart the computer. Then the driver installation is completed. AMD Series Graphics Accelerator -8- 3. 1. 2. BERNEX Easy Boost on Driver Disk Step 1: Click the BERNEX Easy Boost item. Step 2: Choose the language for the installation and click the OK button. Step 3: Choose the Typical and click the Next button Step 4: Click the Finish button. Then the installation of the BERNEX Easy Boost is completed. The system is installing the components. -9- Software Installation BERNEX Easy Boost Easy Boost is a graphics card smart tuning tool, combined with Overclock, OSD Turning, BIOS Setting, Technical Support, Live Update function. Over Clock: User can adjust GPU clock, Memory clock, Shader clock and Fan speed here. User can also monitor graphics card current parameters. OSD Turning: User can set hotkey of On-Screen-Display and path of screen shot and recording video savings at "OSD" page. User can also adjust Gamma, Contrast and Brightness at "Color"page. AMD Series Graphics Accelerator - 10 - BIOS Setting: User can back up current BIOS, flash BIOS from selected file and auto flash BIOS on-line. Technical Support:User can get information of VGA, CPU, motherboard, system memory and monitor. User also can press ¡§Export¡¨ button to export all system information into . txt file. Live Update: Easy Boost will auto detect the latest version Easy Boost on-line and auto update. Incorrectly doing overclock may result in damage to your system and reduce the useful life of the system components. Taskbar Icon After installation of the display driver, you will find an AMD icon in the notification area. Rather than determining the color to display for each pixel by sampling a single location at the pixel's center, anti-aliasing samples multiple locations within each pixel and blends the results together to produce the final color. Anti-Aliasing can be set to favor either system processing performance or image quality, or the application can decide: · Setting for performance is best used when the 3D image is animated and smooth motion is the most important consideration. · Setting for quality is best used when highly detailed and realistic 3D objects is the most important consideration. · If you are unsure of how to configure anti-aliasing, use the Use application settings option. Your display will automatically adjust to the application's requirements. Adaptive Anti-Aliasing Adaptive anti-aliasing is a technique that applies a combination of multi-sampling (MSAA) and super-sampling (SSAA) on 3D objects to improve edge smoothness and fine detail. This feature renders 3D objects containing transparencies more realistic, providing exceptional levels of image quality while maintaining performance. - 23 - Software Installation Anisotropic Filtering Anisotropic Filtering is a technique that preserves detail on surfaces that have three-dimensional perspective and fade away into the background. Anisotropic Filtering can be set to favor either an increase in system processing performance or improved image quality: · Setting for performance is best used with applications that display objects with smooth, simple surfaces, like those seen in CAD applications. · Setting for quality is best used with applications that display highly detailed scenes, backgrounds, and textured objects, like those seen in 3D games. · If you are unsure how to configure anisotropic filtering, use the Use application settings option. Your display will automatically adjust to the application's requirements. All Settings The All Settings page combines all of the principal 3D features onto a single page, without any preview window, allowing for quick access and adjustment. This page is useful when it is not necessary to preview the adjusted settings because the effect is already known or understood. Color: Adjust the overall richness of color by using the Gamma control. [. . . ] Ensure that the display cable is securely fastened to the card's display connector. Make sure that the monitor and computer are plugged in and receiving power. If necessary, disable any built-in graphics capabilities on your motherboard. For more information, consult your computer's manual or manufacturer. [. . . ]
