Before You Begin

The geforce gTX 460 graphics card is a Pci express 2.0 ×16 graphics 

card. Your computer may already have a graphics card installed in the 

Pci express slot. if so, you will need to remove that graphics card and 

replace it with the geforce gTX 460 graphics card. 
if you do not have a graphics card, this means that your motherboard 

has on-board graphics (there is a graphics chip installed on your 

motherboard or integrated in the motherboard chipset). if this is the 

case, there is no action that needs to be taken before installing your 

new graphics card.

Installing the GeForce Graphics Card

because there are so many different computer systems on the 

market, the procedure to install the geforce gTX 460 graphics card 

can vary from system to system. use the following instructions as 

a guideline and consult the documentation for  

your computer system for any further information on your 

individual system.

Note: it is important that all power to the computer be 

disconnected before you install the graphics card.

discharge your body’s static electricity by touching a grounded 

surface before touching the graphics card. a grounded surface is the 

computer chassis, or some other surface you know to be grounded. 

use the following procedure to install the geforce gTX 460 graphics 

card into your computer system. 

Turn off your computer and monitor and disconnect the power cord. 

depending on your computer system, you may need to disconnect the

make sure you reconnect them properly.

your computer documentation from the original manufacturer
