What else is there


Hmm. Not sure what to make of the box art. At least the stickers tell you what's inside the package.


The box lists all the pertinent details. What else do you expect? The lottery numbers?





Items Multi-language user manual
Installation driver CD
3DMark Vantage Advanced Edition
CyberLink PowerDVD 7
CyberLink DVD Suite
Ruby ROM volume II
CrossFire dongle
HDMI dongle
VGA dongle
HDTV cable
2x PCIe-to-Molex cable
Mini-DIN-to-S-video converter
Case sticker

We're looking at the full-fat version here (-40R) complete with a helping salvo from CyberLink - PowerDVD 7 and DVD Suite - along with 3DMark Vantage Advanced Edition and Ruby ROM, which contains a bunch of demos to showcase the power of the card.

As it is, the bundle only misses out on a retail game.

Warranty

The Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 TOXIC Edition 512MB is backed up by a two-year warranty. Claims in the first year are handled by the supplier from whom the card was purchased from. Claims after this period are handled by a U.K.-based service centre.
