"Enhanced Mode Settings". These settings are much
higher, and they are GUARANTEED TO WORK IN
ANY SYSTEM WITH ANY "GOLDEN SAMPLE"
DISPLAY ADAPTER FROM GAINWARD!
A "Golden Sample" board is extremely special: Golden
Sample boards are put through a set of punishing and
arduous performance tests. Only a board that passes
these tests will be qualified as a "Golden Sample" and
is then enabled for "Enhanced Mode Settings".
Click on "Enhanced Mode Settings" and see the
improvement in your game play!
You can exceed the enhanced mode settings, by
changing the clock settings manually using the slider
bars. Do take care while doing this: Change the speed
in small increments only, i.e. in increments of 5 MHz.
Then check if your games are still running correctly. If
you start seeing abnormal frames on your screen, or
your 3D graphics appear in a "broken" fashion, you
have exceeded the board's capabilities, and you must
revert to your previous setting. If your computer
crashes, the previous safe settings will automatically
be activated when you next start a Windows session.
Important Note: Please note that Gainward will
NOT warrant this display adapter beyond
"Enhanced Mode"!

Use DirectX Information to determine the version of
DirectX that is currently installed on your system.
You can examine how DirectX interfaces with your
multimedia and graphics hardware, and enable or
