Hardware Install ation 5 03 Hardware Installation Installing the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti graphics card hardware involves opening up your computer. Follow all of the safety instructions provided here to ensure that there is no damage to you, your computer, or the graphics board. Safety Instructions To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, always follow basic safety precautions. Note: All hardware must be installed prior to installation of the drivers.
6 03 Hardware Install ation Before You Begin The GeForce GTX 650 Ti graphics card is a PCI Express 3.0 ×16 graphics card. Your computer may already have a graphics card installed in the PCI Express slot. If so, you will need to remove that graphics card and replace it with the GeForce GTX 650 Ti graphics card. If you do not have a graphics card, this means that your motherboard has on-board graphics (there is a graphics chip installed on your motherboard or integrated in the motherboard chipset).
Hardware Install ation 7 3 Remove any existing graphics card (if there is one). Save hardware (such as screws and brackets) to use when installing the NVIDIA graphics card. ! Attention: If your system has been running for a period of time prior to opening the panels, it is very important that you wait until the graphics card in your system has cooled before taking the card out of the system. Graphics cards get very hot when they have been operating for any length of time.
8 03 Hardware Install ation 5 Plug the graphics card into the Primary PCI Express x16 slot on your motherboard. This is often the slot closest to the CPU but may be the second or third slot. Look for the slot labeled ×16. It will likely be the only PCI Express slot with a retention lever on the end of the slot or the one closest to the CPU. Note: It is recommended that you install the graphics card into the primary PCI Express x16 slot.
Hardware Install ation 9 6 Connect a PCI Express 6-pin auxiliary power connector to the top edge of the GeForce GTX 650 Ti graphics card. Note that the connector and socket on the graphics card have a unique shape and connect one way only. If your power supply does not have a free 6-pin power connector, you can use the included 4-to-6 pin adapter. 7 Reinstall the cover on your computer and reconnect any cables that you removed earlier in the installation.
10 03 Hardware Install ation 8 Connect your computer monitor(s) to the GeForce graphics card using the connectors shown. A single GeForce GTX 650 Ti graphics card can support up to four displays in a multi-monitor configuration. DisplayPort Connector Supports single-lane transfer rates over a single cable. The interface is primarily used to connect a video source to a display device such as a computer monitor.
Driver Install ation 11 04 Driver Installation With the hardware installed, it is now time to install the graphics driver. NVIDIA recommends downloading and installing the most recent drivers available at: http://www.nvidia.com/drivers. Use the following procedure to load the graphics drivers. 1 Power up your system. 2 Insert the driver installation disc or double click on the GeForce driver executable file you downloaded from www.nvidia.com/drivers.
12 04 Driver Install ation 3 Select AGREE AND CONTINUE to continue the installation. 4 Select the Express option and then click NEXT when the Installation Options window displays.
Driver Install ation 13 Note: It may take several minutes for the installation to take place. Your screen may go blank for a few seconds one or more times during installation. This is normal. The Install in progess… screen will let you know when the installation is complete. 6 Once all the files are copied to your computer, the installation begins.
14 04 Driver Install ation 7 Click CLOSE when the install has finished.
