eVGA e-GeForce 7900 GT CO Superclocked™ Bundle and Presentation

Presentation

box

The box lets you know the hardware's clocks, that it carries just 256MiB of on-board memory, uses PCI Express and supports SLI and, interestingly, that it's Microsoft Windows Vista compliant.

Vista compliance is something you'll see cropping up time and time again in the run up to the OS's launch, and your author has actually used the very eVGA sample pictured to run a recent build of Vista, confirming the box is right. It'll do Aero Glass Premium (as will all GeForce 7900 products) when you get your hands on Vista early next year.

Bundle wise you get a hardware bundle comprising component (YPbPr) output cable, dual 4-pin to 6-pin power adaptor, a pair of DVI-to-VGA adaptors (high quality ones no less) and an S-Video output cable. Software runs to just the driver CD (in the tested sample at least) to keep costs down and eVGA's manuals are of a quality sufficient to get you going with the hardware and its output options.
