Page 4 GeForce4 Ti – Ferocious Graphics Power The GeForce4 Ti graphics processing unit (GPU) is the first consumer GPU capable of driving complex geometries and character animations. With its advanced nfiniteFX II Engine, superior Accuview Antialiasing techniques, and flexible nView display technology, the GeForce4 Ti GPU allow end users to experience radically immersive graphical environments complete with unique visual effects, and the most realistic, life-like images ever experienced on a desktop PC.
Page 5 GeForce4 Ti – Ferocious Graphics Power nfiniteFX II Engine The NVIDIA nfiniteFX II Engine incorporates dual programmable Vertex Shaders, faster Pixel Shaders and 3D textures. The nfiniteFX II Engine gives developers the freedom to program a virtually infinite number of custom special effects to create true-to-life characters and environments.
Page 6: Unified Driver Architecture (Uda)
GeForce4 Ti – Ferocious Graphics Power Unified Driver Architecture (UDA) Guarantees forward and backward compatibility with software drivers. Simplifies upgrading to a new NVIDIA product because all NVIDIA products work with the same driver software. Advanced Pixel Shaders Part of the nfiniteFX II Engine, advanced Pixel Shaders alter lighting and surface effects that replace artificial, computerized looks with materials and surfaces that mimic reality.
Page 7 GeForce4 Ti – Ferocious Graphics Power Lossless Z-Compression LMA II contains a lossless form of Z-compression that delivers a 4:1 benefit. Compression is a crucial technique in saving memory bandwidth for higher performance. Microsoft DirectX 8.X and OpenGL 1.3 Optimizations and Support Delivers the best performance and guarantees compatibility with all current and future 3D applications and games.

Hardware Installation Graphics Card User’ s Guide Drivers & Utilitys CD Caution : Static electricity can severely damage electronic parts, Take these precautions: Before touching any electronic part, drain the static electricity from your body. You can do this by touching the internal metal frame of your computer while it's unplugged.
Page 9 Hardware Installation Before You Begin Before you process next step, make sure your computer system meets the peripheral requirements and switch to standard VGA display driver. Prepare Your Computer for Installation Prior to working on your computer, make sure the power and any related equipment are turned off. How to Insert Your AGP Graphics Card?
Page 10 Hardware Installation How to Connect the Monitor? Plug your monitor cable into the monitor connector on your AGP graphics card. Make sure the other end of the monitor cable is properly connected to your monitor. Installation Procedures For the first time Installation Locate the AGP bus expansion slot, make sure this slot is unobstructed.
