Installation and Package

Package and Contents

The package is pretty standard and contains all the necessary drivers on CD, but there's no games included. There 2 DVI-to-VGA converters as well as 2 video-out cables included ... both s-video and component.

Installation

Installation was straight forward with no problems at all. The card itself is shorter than most PCIe cards but it looks "FAT" ... and takes up 2 rear PCI slot space. It fits on a single PCIe x16 slot and uses one 6-pin power connector. The large heatsink with a powerful fan does an excellent job of cooling the graphics card, especially since the GPU is running at overclocked speeds.

Driver installation was very simple ... no further comment here. In our benchmark tests, we used the Nvidia's Forceware drivers version 158.22, which supports Windows Vista.
