The bundle for the 7600 GS with HDMI is quite different from your average card bundle. This is mostly due in part to the HDMI port and all the accessories needed to use it or manipulate it. It is good to see all the necessary HDMI accessories being included because most if not all people are buying this card specifically for its HDMI-HDCP functionality. Included are:

HDMI cable

HDMI to DVI adaptor

HDTV to component adaptor

S/PDIF audio cable

Driver CD

CyberLink Power DVD 7.0

Civilization IV
