Are you installing your
Fire GL 8800 in place
of a card from another
manufacturer?
Before you install your Fire GL 8800 card,
we recommend that you first uninstall the
the driver for your current graphics card.

operating system to use the standard
display driver (VGA). For more information
about changing to the VGA driver, see
your operating system documentation.

integrated graphics
solution on the
motherboard?
Please refer to the manual or contact your
motherboard manufacturer to determine
how to disable your on-board graphics.

or configuration.
