2 After installing the drivers
In this chapter you will find descriptions of:
쎲
where you can find the software for operating the ELSA Synergy 2000
쎲
the performance characteristics of your graphics board,
쎲
the most effective tuning for the combination of monitor and ELSA graph-
ics board.
2.1 Software installation from the CD
The ELSA Synergy 2000 is normally supplied with software on a CD-ROM.
You will find all the utilities described in this manual on the ELSA Synergy
2000 CD—unless they are a component of the operating system.
Once you have successfully completed the steps described in the Installation
Guide, your ELSA driver is integrated into your computer system with
installed drivers. If the autostart function for your CD-ROM drive under Win-
dows has been switched off, the setup program on the
ELSA Synergy 2000
CD will not start automatically. It can be found and started manually from the
root directory of the CD and is called Autorun.EXE.
The greater part of the installation is automated; ELSA setup detects the
installed operating system and ELSA graphics board(s).
2.2 The right settings
After installing the drivers the display is set to the lowest values, namely 640
x 480 resolution with 256 colors and 60 Hz refresh rate. Your first task is to
increase all these values to a more comfortable level, especially the refresh
rate, which is best set to at least 75 Hz to avoid flickering.
Our tip is: Invest a little time at this stage and you won’t regret it. Take the
time to optimally tune your combination of monitor and graphics board. Your
eyes will thank you for it, and you are guaranteed to have more fun in front
of your screen.
To set up your system properly, the following questions should be answered:
쎲
What is the maximum resolution I can set on my system?
쎲
Which color depth do I want to use?
쎲
How high should the refresh rate be set?
