Bundle
This Asus bundle includes: a quick start guide, the drivers CDS, a molex-to-PCIe power adapter, two DVI to VGA dongles, a HDTV cable, a DVI to HDMI dongle, a leather CD case, and a game.
What game? How does Company of Heroes: Opposing Forces sound? This critically well-received WWII RTS from Relic has been in many Asus video card boxes recently, and it is a great game to burn in your new card with.
Box
Similar to the HD 3870 box art, the Company of Heroes soldiers are prominent on the front of the EAH3870X2 box. The 1GB of GDDR3 and TOP branding are also very hard to miss.
On the back of the box, we have the features of the card laid out in 11 different languages, and an overview of the bundled applications: Splendid (for watching vids), Video Security (for watching from your webcam remotely), GamesOSD (for video capturing and overclocking), and SmartDoctor (which is an overclocking tool specifically for Asus cards.)
Let's take a look at our testing setup now.
The only big difference with my 8.451-2.080123a-858... drivers were that Crysis performance was increased. If you are interested, here are the numbers with these drivers for that game: 64.9,61.8,61.4 [1024x768,1280x1024,1600x1200,no aa] 64.6, 62.6, 61.4 [w/ aa.]
Updated with an overclocking section today...
Hopefully 8.2 will bring out the best in this card, as it really seems like these Vista drivers just aren't cutting it right now.

Ummm.... Nvidia had the 1st multi-gpu on a single card, 7900GX2/7950gx2 anyone? Then ATi came out with the X1950 Pro Dual.
