PowerColor X800 GT EVO Tide Water 256MN Bundle





It's no surprise that the PowerColor X800 GT EVO Tide Water package is a larger-than-normal affair. After all, the box needs to house the card, block, self-contained liquid-cooling unit and associated software.



The bundle generally comprises of what we've seen from PowerColor before. Pacific Fighters is a reasonable game that's included in all current PowerColor packages, as, it seems, is CyberLink's PowerDVD 6 (2-channel) and a set of ATI drivers. A couple of DVI dongles and both S-Video and RCA extension cables were included, as well as a converter between the two. There's also cables for HDTV-output, connected via the S-Video socket.

PowerColor also includes a basic, foldout manual that provides decent enough reference material for both the card and Tide Water unit. It delineates installation in a step-by-step manner, helped by a number of colour photographs.

The packaging is more basic than deluxe, although, as usual, everything you need is supplied in the oversized box.
