Operating Instructions

1. Driver Installation

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

• Regularly clean dust from the graphics card fans and heatsink using compressed air. Ensure the computer is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Hold the fan blades gently to prevent them from spinning rapidly during cleaning, which can damage the bearings.

2. Driver Updates

Troubleshooting

No Display Output

• Ensure the graphics card is fully seated in the PCIe slot.
• Verify that all PCIe power cables are securely connected to the graphics card.
• Check that your display cable is connected to the graphics card's output, not the motherboard's integrated graphics port.
• Test with a different display cable or monitor if possible.

Performance Issues / Low Frame Rates

• Ensure you have the latest graphics drivers installed from the AMD website.
• Check your in-game settings; reduce graphics quality if necessary.
• Monitor GPU temperatures to ensure the card is not overheating. Excessive heat can lead to performance throttling.
• Verify your power supply unit (PSU) meets the recommended wattage for your system, including the graphics card.

Overheating
