XFX GeForce 8800GT 256MB XXX Edition Video Card Review

The Bundle

We normally don’t cover retail boxes in our articles, but ever since XFX pulled the hidden images stunt that landed them in court we have been checking boxes. XFX settled the ‘drool’ case with EVGA out of court in case any of our readers ever wondered what happned with that situation. Since the card we are looking at today it is the XXX Edition it has the XXX sticker on the front of the box and a sticker showing that the core clock is 650MHz and not the standard 600MHz core clock frequency.

Inside the box one will find the expected bundle that comes with all brands of video cards. The bundle included with the XFX GeForce 8800 GT Alpha Dog includes two DVI-to-VGA adapters, a 4-pin molex to 6-pin PCI-Express power adapter, HDTV dongle, an S-Video cable and installation instructions. Also included it the full DVD version of CAPCOM’s game title Lost Planet. The Driver disc included several NVIDIA Forceware driver versions and some other software like CoolBits for unlocking overclocking features. The bundle also includes a first for us – the ‘Do Not Disturb’ door hanger!
