Package Contents

Powercolor packages this board quite nicely. The box is very small and compact and uses a relatively minimal amount of carboard. The box is just big enough to hold the card, TV cables (S-Video and Composite), CD's, and the manual. Powercolor also packs in Pacific Fighters from Ubisoft which is definitely a nice addition for such a low priced performance card.

Physical Views

The board has a very similar PCB design to other ATI cards and the only noticeable omission externally is the lack of a Rage Theater chip. The card's cooler is actually the most suprising aspect of this board - the cooler is very large width wise. On our board, Powercolor slapped on (quite sloppily) a large green decal that bears the cards name as well as the same character featured on the box - some form of 'robo-angel-cyborg'. We're not so sure on that one.

Regardless of any weird decals though, the size of the cooler might deceive one into thinking that this board is of higher spec than it actually is. We'll see how the numbers come out.
