As PowerColor is an AIB partner of ATI, it comes as no surprise that its Radeon 9800XT looks identical to ATI's reference design for the GPU.
As with its appearance, its specifications are as per the reference card: 256MB of DDR memory, a 256-bit memory bus with the memory clocked at 730MHz (365MHz DDR), a core clock speed of 412MHz and dual 400MHz RAMDACs.
It comes with the standard fare of a DVI-I to VGA adaptor, composite and S-Video cables, and a power cable for the card. Unless you have been visiting a parallel universe, the voucher for Half Life 2 instead of the game itself should not be unexpected. The rest of the software bundle comprises Lara Croft Tomb Raider - The Angel of Darkness, Big Mutha Truckers and a 3D Games pack with a number of demo versions.
The only application included is WinDVD 4. PowerColor provided Catalyst 3.8 drivers with the card, but to get the best out of it, visit ATi's site and download the latest driver, currently Catalyst 4.2.
