We'd have preferred if Inno3D had shipped the package with a DVI-to-HDMI dongle and audio cable for connecting the passthrough to the card. The lack of a bundled game is also uninspiring.
The model, however, is only £3 dearer than the stock-clocked model but £20 more-expensive than the Armour (also stock-clocked) SKU, we note.
Warranty
The Inno3D
GeForce 9600 OC is sold with a European-standard two-year warranty
that's handled through the
retailer, so make sure to choose a vendor 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 (non-physically damaged) cards
that are still under
warranty directly from their own stock. However, as Inno3D has no centralised
European hub, any physically damaged cards will necessitate shipping
back to Hong
Kong, which can cause inevitable delays.
