Out of the box, you will receive a HDTV-out cable, brief installation manual, leather CD case, and a dual Molex to 6-pin PCIe adapter in addition to the Asus EN8800GTS 320MB board itself. As far as the software bundle goes, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, Race: The WTCC Game, 3DMark06 Professional, drivers and software CD, manual CD are also included. DVI to VGA adapters are supposed to be included; but I don't recall seeing any out of the box.
Unlike XFX 's card, the Asus EN8800GTS/HTDP/320M is not pre-overclocked from the factory. It does ship with a decent accessory bundle, however, that includes a couple of full version games. Asus also throws in a handful of proprietary applications and utilities in an attempt to further add value to their product. Read on to see if they succeeded, or if your hard earned cash is better spent elsewhere...
Asus bundles their EN8800GTS/HTDP/320M cards with a nice assortment of accessories and software. Included in the box along with the card itself, were an HD component output dongle, a dual-Molex to 6-Pin PCI Express power adapter, a user 's manual, a leather Asus-embossed CD case, and a quintet of CDs. One disc contained the obligatory drivers, another a digital user#'s manual and some proprietary utilities (Splendid, Video Security, Game Liveshow, Game Replay, Game Face Messenger, and Game OSD). The remaining three discs were comprised of full versions of 3DMark06, Tom Clancym's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, and RACE the Official WTCC game.
With all of this being said, today we have the distinct pleasure of reviewing NVIDIA's most current work of art, the G92 version of their 8800GTS. Take this already fast graphics card and put it in the hands of ASUS, who is known for taking the best and making it even better and you have the product we will be reviewing, the Asustreg; GeForceoreg; EN8800GTS TOP.
