PowerColor's 9600XT Bravo, like its Radeon 9800XT, looks for all the world like ATI's reference design. While for the most part this is true, it does have one extra - ATI's Rage Theater chip, which supports ATI's VIVO functions, including the Multimedia Centre - and uses a non-reference heatsink and cooler.
While the heatsink looks good and has a red LED fan, it is a little over the top as the 9600XT isn't exactly one of the hottest cards around.
The single S-Video port on the back plate handles both video in and video out, so PowerColor has included a dongle. A nice touch is the provision of two S-Video and two composite cables. Even though both types of connectors are included, a converter is also in the box.
Although PowerColor doesn't include ATI's own DVD player, both WinDVD and Cyberlink's PowerDirector 2.0 ME are supplied, so you can create VCDs and DVDs from your video captures.
The rest of the software bundle is identical to the Radeon 9800XT: Lara Croft Tomb Raider - The Angel of Darkness, Big Mutha Truckers and several demo versions, including Splinter Cell and Warcraft III - Reign of Chaos.
