The bundling is pretty much what you'd expect with a midrange card. No packaged games keep the cost down. A second DVI dongle wouldn't have gone amiss, we reckon.

GeCube doesn't provide a utility for accessing the board-mounted sensors, so we were unable to provide temperature data or control the fan's speed. ATI Tool and RivaTuner, our usual favourites, didn't work, and there was no OverDrive tab present in the control panel, either.

Warranty

The warranty on the card is two years’ worth and based on return to reseller. The warranty itself is not transferrable, so if you sell the card the new owner won't be able to make any use of it, unfortunately. Please bear this in mind if you're considering buying one of these cards second-hand.
