Bundle
ASUS is company that does not release barebones products and this bundle is no different. It features everything you would expect in a quality product. CDs as well as a printed quick start manual are provided. The box is styled similarly to the Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter game that is included inside. A large picture of a soldier from the not-so-distant future is on the front, along with basic information like RAM amount, GPU type and bus standard.
The back lists the myriad of features supported by the EN7950 GT. Notable features include SLI compatibilty, support for Windows Vista and HDCP. Also listed are a number of awards won by ASUS. All this is presented in several different lanuages.
Inside the box is a full version of Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter. Ghost Recon is a very good first person shooter that also supports what may be the next must-have for gaming: a physics accelerator.

A driver and utilities CD, manual, Molex to six-pin PCI Express power adaptor, a HDTV-out cable and a DVI to VGA converter are also included.

A new benchmark rig was created for this card which consists of:
Three cards were tossed in the ring for competition:
XFX 7950 GT
BFG GeForce 7900 GTX OC
ATI Radeon X1900 XT
