Closer Look: PowerColor RADEON 9800 XT

The retail box of the PowerColor card displays the company’s logo against the background of a shield and crossed pole-axes.

The accessories bundle includes a coupon for Half-Life 2, CD discs with drivers and utilities, a CD with demo versions of some computer games, and CDs with two full games (Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness and Big Mutha Thucker). Besides that, we’ve got a heap of cables and adapters: S-Video, RCA and power cables plus S-Video-to-RCA and DVI-I-to-D-Sub adapters.

The graphics card complies with the RADEON 9800 XT reference design and doesn’t differ in exterior from the reference card.
