ASUS’s bundle, on the other hand, really goes the other way in terms of extremes. They include Half Life 2 as an added bonus to their already generous software bundle. Also included are the games Battle Engine Aquila, Gunmetal, and a 6 in 1 Games Collection demo CD which includes demo versions of Breed, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, Warcraft III Reign of Chaos, Big Mutha Truckers, TOCA Race Driver, and Colin Mcrae Rally 3. While these games are demos, they’re still good games to try out with the card.

The other software Asus includes with their card also is useful to almost everyone. Ulead’s Cool 3d 2.0 is a cool software that allows the user to create special effects in 3d from shapes and objects. The version included with the card is 2.0, but the latest version is 3.5. Photo Express 4.0 is a easy to use photo editing software. You can apply special effects, adjust and trim photographs, and create calendars and greeting cards with the software. Media Show is an advanced program that lets you create, show and share multimedia presentations. It’s allows you to create presentations containing images, video, audio clips and even PowerPoint files.
