4. Nastavitev in namestitev

4.1 Namestitev strojne opreme

1. Pripravite svoj sistem: Izklopite računalnik in izvlecite napajalni kabel iz stenske vtičnice. Odprite ohišje računalnika.
2. Poiščite režo PCIe: Identify an available PCI Express x16 slot on your motherboard. Remove any expansion slot covers that may be blocking the slot.
3. Namestite grafično kartico: Carefully align the graphics card with the chosen PCI Express x16 slot. Apply even pressure to both ends of the card until it is fully seated in the slot. Secure the card to the computer case with the appropriate screw.
4. Priključite napajanje: Connect the required PCIe power connectors (e.g., 6-pin, 8-pin) from your power supply unit (PSU) to the corresponding ports on the graphics card. Ensure all connections are secure.
5. Close Case and Connect Display: Close your computer case. Connect your display monitor to one of the graphics card's output ports (DisplayPort, HDMI, or DVI) using a compatible cable.

4.2 Namestitev gonilnika

After hardware installation, you must install the graphics drivers for optimal performance and functionality.

1. Vklop: Reconnect the power cord and power on your computer.
2. Prenesi gonilnike: Navigate to the official MSI webspletno mesto (www.msi.com) or NVIDIA webspletno mesto (www.nvidia.com). Locate the support section for your specific graphics card model (GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GAMING X 11G) and download the latest stable drivers for your operating system.
3. Namesti gonilnike: Follow the on-screen instructions to install the drivers. A system restart may be required after installation.

5. Navodila za uporabo

5.1 Osnovna operacija

Once the drivers are successfully installed, your MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GAMING X 11G graphics card is ready for use. Ensure your display is connected to one of the card's output ports.

• Konfiguracija zaslona: Your operating system should automatically detect the connected display. You can adjust display settings (resolution, refresh rate, multiple monitors) through your operating system's display settings or the NVIDIA Control Panel.
• Posodobitve gonilnikov: For optimal performance and compatibility with new games and applications, regularly check for and install the latest graphics drivers from the official NVIDIA or MSI webmesto.

5.2 MSI Afterburner Software

MSI Afterburner is a widely recognized utility for graphics card monitoring, overclocking, and fan control. It allows users to:

• Monitor core clock, memory clock, temperature, and fan speed in real-time.
• Adjust core voltage, core clock, and memory clock for overclocking (advanced users only).
• Customize fan curves for optimized cooling and noise levels.

Download MSI Afterburner from the official MSI webmesto.

6. Vzdrževanje

Pravilno vzdrževanje zagotavlja dolgo življenjsko dobo in optimalno delovanje vaše grafične kartice.

• Odstranjevanje prahu: Periodically clean the graphics card and the interior of your computer case to prevent dust buildup. Dust can impede airflow and lead to overheating. Use compressed air to gently clear dust from the fans and heatsink fins.
• Pretok zraka: Ensure your computer case has good airflow. Proper case fan configuration helps dissipate heat generated by the graphics card and other components.
• Nadzor temperature: Use software like MSI Afterburner to monitor the card's temperature during operation. Sustained high temperatures can reduce performance and lifespan.

7. Odpravljanje težav

If you encounter issues with your graphics card, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

• Brez izhoda za prikaz:
  • Prepričajte se, da je monitor vklopljen in nastavljen na pravilen vhodni vir.
  • Verify that the display cable is securely connected to both the graphics card and the monitor.
  • Check that all PCIe power connectors are firmly attached to the graphics card.
  • Reseat the graphics card in its PCI Express slot.
• Poor Performance / Freezing:
  • Prepričajte se, da imate nameščene najnovejše grafične gonilnike.
  • Monitor the card's temperature using MSI Afterburner. Overheating can cause performance throttling.
  • Verify your power supply unit (PSU) meets the minimum wattagzahteve za vaš sistem, vključno z grafično kartico.
  • Preverite, ali aplikacije v ozadju porabljajo sistemske vire.
• Hrup ventilatorja:
  • The Twin Frozr VI cooling system is designed to operate silently at low temperatures, meaning fans may not spin until a certain temperature threshold is reached. This is normal operation.
  • If fans are excessively loud at high temperatures, ensure they are free of dust and obstructions.
