Follow these essentials from unboxing to your first frame.
1) Prepare
Power down, unplug, and discharge static (touch a grounded metal surface).
If replacing a card, uninstall old drivers; advanced users may use DDU in safe mode.
2) Install the card
Insert into the top PCIe x16 slot, secure with screws/bracket.
Connect the correct power connectors firmly (avoid bent/loose adapters).
Route cables cleanly to maintain airflow.
3) First boot & drivers
Boot to Windows, download the latest NVIDIA/AMD drivers from the official site.
Reboot; confirm detection in Device Manager and control panels.
4) Verify & tune
Set your monitor’s target resolution/refresh.
Run a short stability test or a favorite game; monitor temps and fan behavior.
Optional: set a mild fan curve; avoid extreme overclocks on day one.
5) Keep your paperwork
Save the serial number, receipt, and all packaging for warranty/RMA.
For high‑value shipments, a signature may be required at delivery.
