Bundle and warranty

The card carries an onboard S/PDIF input that connects to your motherboard's output, bringing around the possibility of transferring both video and audio through the HDMI port.
Inno3D also provides a coaxial SPDIF connector that can be used with the low-rent cable as an alternative to internal SPDIF pass-through.
GRAW 2 is a reasonable addition, and you should be able to play it right up to 2,560x1,600 using a single card.
The bundle is average; there is no compelling reason to buy the package based on it, but it's indicative of what most AIBs are shipping with their reference GeForce 9800 GX2s.
Warranty
The Inno3D GeForce 9800 GX2 has a two-year warranty that's
handled
through the retailer - so make sure to pick a retailer that you trust
will be around for the duration. The third year's cover, however, is
specific to the iChiLL line only. The warranty is transferable, though.
Inno3D states that retailers will replace any defective cards that are
still under warranty directly from their own stock. However, as Inno3D
has no centralised European hub, any stock shortages will necessitate
shipping from Hong Kong, which can cause inevitable delays.
