• EVGA e-GeForce 9600GT SSC
• Driver CD
• Manual
• TV-Out cable
• HDTV cable
• Two DVI to D-Sub adapters

EVGA includes everything you need to get started with your new video card. NVIDIA gave us new drivers (174.12) to test the card with, and updated drivers to support the new card should be available as you read the review. EVGA's Driver CD contains the driver set 171.16 which is an older build. Also on the Driver CD is Adobe Acrobat Reader, DX9 and 10 and a few utilities. I always suggest using the latest reference drivers from NVIDIA's website with their cards.

Hardware-wise, the 9600GT comes with two DVI to D-Sub adapters. This allows the end-user to play games on older monitors with D-Sub connections, instead of the DVI connection most monitors sport today. A TV-Out cable and a HDTV cable round out the hardware bundle. One thing I wish EVGA would include is a game to show off the new card, but this particular product does not come with one.

Support for EVGA products is second to none in the industry. EVGA, along with BFG and XFX offer Lifetime Warranties on their video cards. If the card breaks or has a problem, return it. The second facet of their unmatched support is 24/7 Toll-Free Technical Support. The last facet of their Triad of support is their Step-Up program. This program allows you to upgrade your video card (minus applicable rebates) to a new one within 90 days of purchase.
