Instructions for loading the nVIDIA Quadro FX FX3000 Video Card Driver

Note - Prior to Driver Installation, verify that you have the latest Driver version. To view optimal resolution (3840 x 2400) please see the ViewSonic web page at www.viewsonic.com or www.nvidia.com for the most recent driver version.

Step 1
Install your nVIDIA FX3000 video card into your PC.
Note - You must connect QuadroFX graphics card to the computer's power supply.

Step 2
Connect one of the Dual DVI video cables (Marked on the cable Primary 1) to the DVI port farthest from the side of the Motherboard. Then connect Port Number 2 to the other of DVI connector (closest to the Motherboard.)

Step 3
Turn on the PC and VP2290b display and proceed with the boot up process. The VP2290b display will "Turn on" without the installation of the nVIDIA FX3000 video card drivers but, for optimal resolution viewing you will need to proceed with the installation.

Step 4
Depending on which Operating System you are using, you will need to visit the nVIDIA or ViewSonic website for the latest Quadro drivers. Below is a list of links that will help you with the installation of your unit:

Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 - http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=certified_winnt
Microsoft Windows 2000 - http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=certified_win2k
Microsoft Windows XP - http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=certified_winxp
Microsoft Windows XP IA64 - http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=winxp64_22.20
Linux - Linux IA32 - http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=linux_display_ia32_1.0-4363
Linux - Linux AMD64 - http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=linux_display_amd64_1.0-4180
Linux - Linux IA64 - http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=linux_display_ia64_1.0-4050

Step 5
After the nVIDIA driver is loaded you will need to Setup your Display Properties to optimize your viewing resolution.

You will need to go to Display Properties > Settings > Advanced > Monitor to make sure that the VP2290b is being detected properly. (If not, you will need to load the ViewSonic VP2290b Wizard that is included with the monitor.)

While in the same Advanced Menu, check the section that reads "Monitor settings", and uncheck the box that reads "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display."

After that has been adjusted you then need to go back to Display Properties > Settings > Advanced > Quadro4 FX3000. When you "click" on the Quadro4 FX3000 a "pop up" menu will display just left of the window that was originally opened.

To activate the 3840 x 2400 optimal resolution you will need to "click" on the nView Display Mode Tab. This will allow you to view (4) nView Modes, factory default setting is "Standard (DualView)". Select "Horizontal Span" mode and "click" on "Apply" to be able to view the optimal resolution 3840 x 2400 @ 20Hz. Select the highest color quality "32 bit".
