S-VHS-to-Composite adapter

The bundle contains everything you need, without surplus 'added-value' materials. This should help keep the costs down as you're not paying for extras you don't want. Current etail pricing is around Ā£117.49, making it one of the very cheapest HD 4850 512MiB cards available.

We like the fact that a DVI-to-HDMI adapter is included, opening up the possibility of using the card as a home theatre source.

Warranty

The package is supplied with a two-year warranty that's based on the card's serial number, intimating that it starts when it is shipped out of the factory. The warranty is transferable, should it be sold on, and whilst the retailer that you purchased it from may swap-out defective cards, PowerColor handles most queries directly, promising a seven-day turnaround from collection.
