The Package:

Something that is disappointing are the prehistoric pack-ins that are included with some cutting edge video cards. While it may be unreasonable to expect games that have just been released it is equally unreasonable to include games that are two, three years old that would play fine on a GeForce 2. That said, Gigabyte includes a pretty nice bundle. Three games are included in the package, Will Rock, Raven Shield and the infamous Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness. Tomb Raider and Raven Sheild are high quality titles while Will Rock may kill a few minutes of a slow weekend if nothing else. Along with the games Power DVD 5.0 is also included in the bundle. Of course, you will get the standard driver CD, manuals, DVI to VGA adapter and an S-video to RCA adapter. Oddly enough, the Gigabyte 5700 only includes a S-Video to RCA adapter while their 9600 XT includes a full cable that includes both RCA and S-Video connections.
