EVGA has teamed with Ubisoft to offer Ubisoft’s latest and greatest game, Dark Messiah Might and Magic with both their 8800GTS and their 8800GTX cards. Might and Magic is a long-running series of games starting from the earliest days of computers. Dark Messiah uses Pixel Shaders 2.0 and Vertex Shader 2.0 programs to show off the monsters, effects and environment of the game.

The hardware bundle is what you would expect from a company like EVGA. Two DVI-I to D-sub adapters means you won’t need to purchase an adapter to run with two CRTs. Of course the CRT is virtually non-existent on the market today, but it’s great that two are included. An HDTV cable is included to allow you to attach the video card to an HDTV. A TV-Out cable is also included.

NVIDIA has done away with the traditional Control Panel with their 96.xx series drivers that are being released with the 8800GTS and 8800GTX cards. The new CP was introduced with the 7900 series last year, but the option was always there to use the old CP. With the advent of Windows Vista, the new interface matches the Vista model pretty closely.

EVGA Support is second to none in the video card industry and this continues with their GeForce 8 series of cards. They offer a Lifetime Warranty for all of their retail cards with a AR, AX, BR, BX, DR, DX, FR, FX, SG, SL or S2 prefixes. That means if you have a defective product they will replace it. The second facet of their support is the 24/7 Telephone support that’s Toll-Free. The last aspect of their support is their Trade-Up program. The Trade-Up program allows you to turn in your graphics card for a new one by paying the difference within 90 days of purchase.
