Package and Accessories

We have dealt with all versions of packages PowerColor ships its graphics cards in, but this one features an original, new design to create an impression as of a unique product.

Black, gray and white are the colors employed here; red is only used on the ATI Technologies logotypes. The face side of the box has the look of a roughly polished metal. Besides the ATI and PCI Express logos, there’s only the name of the graphics card here, and the number 16 is made on holographic film which shimmers with all the colors of the rainbow. This is the only decoration and it doesn’t look out of place at all. The restrained package design of this kind is typical of unique and high-end products.

The package exterior seems to imply some gorgeous accessories coming with the graphics card, but we found standard things only, namely:

• Two DVI-I → D-Sub adapters
• S-Video → RCA adapter
• Adapter to connect external power
• YPbPr splitter
• S-Video cable
• RCA cable
• Installation Guide
• CD with drivers
• CyberLink CD (PowerDirector, MediaShow, MusicMatch, PowerDVD, PowerProducer DVD, Power2Go, and PowerDVD Copy)
• Two CDs with a copy of the flight simulator Pacific Fighters

Well, we wouldn’t call these accessories gorgeous, but they are sufficient indeed. You get everything necessary to use the graphics card and you also receive a popular and highly realistic flight sim as a bonus.
