915/965 Motherboard with a 9500 Video Card Connection Guide 

Because the system box that originally shipped with your GT LIVE may need to be replaced, 
some video connections that worked with the previous Nighthawk system box may now need to 
be adjusted. The most recent motherboard is the DG31PR, which has a 9500 video card with an 
HDMI port. Audio and video is provided via HDMI cable. The 9500 video card only works with 
Golden Tee 2009 courses or higher. 
 

This guide focuses on setting up system boxes with the 915/965 motherboard. HDMI audio is 
not enabled for system boxes with the 915/965 motherboard.  

 
 
To determine the correct video and audio connections for your new system box, it is necessary 
to: 
 

1.  Identify the system box motherboard and video card combination. Use the Nighthawk 

System Box Configuration Table on page 2 to help with identification. 

 
Note: 

The 915 and 965 motherboards have a different arrangement of ports, but the 

functionality is identical, so they are referred to as one type of motherboard: 
915/965.   

 

2.  Identify the video card. A 9500 will have an HDMI port on the top. The older video cards, 

7600 or 6600, will have a round display port above the 2

nd

 monitor output for component 

video.

3.  Identify the best video and audio configuration for your equipment.

out to the I/O board RCA audio in, with speakers connected to the I/O board. 
 

 

HDTV

 - Capable of VGA, DVI or DVI to HDMI video. Audio - Use the system box 

RCA audio out directly to the HDTV audio system or to the I/O board, using cabinet
