IMPORTANT NOTE FOR UPGRADING FROM 7.2b2
- If you are upgrading from 7.2b2 or earlier software it is recommended that you Uninstall the old software and restart your machine before installing this version of the software. This is necessary to ensure that the firmware on your card gets upgraded correctly. If you forget to do this, the installer will report that the firmware upgrade failed - restart your computer as usual and run the installer again and the firmware upgrade should proceed without errors.
- After this upgrade, you will not be able to revert the firmware to earlier versions used by 7.2b2 or earlier software.

IMPORTANT NOTE
It is important that the software and the card's firmware are both upgraded. The installer will determine if a firmware upgrade is necessary and will guide you through the process:

The firmware upgrade may take a couple of minutes to complete.

DO NOT shut down your machine during this period as your card may be left inoperable.

After the firmware upgrade has completed, click the Shut Down button.

When you switch on your computer again, your card will be running the new firmware.
