Bundle and accessories





Our sample was delivered in retail packaging. Look out for it in your local store if you're interested in this particular SKU.



Mad Mod Mike makes an appearance on the back, and you see charts depicting just how 'wicked fast' the GeForce 7950 GT is.





Being a retail-boxed product, the card ships with a full version of Commandos Strike Force, which is nice. There's a separate CD that carries the drivers and manual, although we recommend hunting down the latest WHQL drivers from NVIDIA's website.

There's also a quickstart guide, a couple of DVI dongles, should you wish to connect the card up to an HD-15 input. Further, a 6-pin PCIe-to-molex adapter, S-Video-to-composite cable, and HD TV-Out (component) cable are included. These are all standard items that, seemingly, ship with practically every decent video card.

Warranty

The warranty is often the differentiating factor between cards from different AIBs. A decent warranty, in our opinion, is worth considerable merit and adds to the resale value of the card.

Inno3D's cards are backed up by a 2-year warranty that's becoming standard for the industry. Inno3D has a deal in place with its distributors only, so warranty claims, during the two year period, need to be pursued with the reseller you bought from, so only buy from folks you trust.
