The Rest of the Package:

The rest of the package that comes with the video card is fairly simple. A drivers CD and manual is provided. Users may also download the unified drivers directly from ATi's site. Lately, ATi has been updating the drivers regularly, making sure that the card runs great with all the games that are out. Also included is PowerDVD, which we have seen with many video card bundles. A CD key is provided since it is the full version of the program.

In the bundle is a DVI to analog converter. With this connector, users can run another CRT monitor using the DVI output. The other cable provided with the card is an AV cable with RCA and S-video out. These cables are important to be able to connect the card to a VCR or TV.

The items we talked about above are all common with most 9600 Pros. There are no any additional items such as games or utilities. GigaCube could have added these extra features to make the package more appealing but another thing to keep in mind is that the price will increase with the more features that are added.
