A decent bundle allowing you to exploit the card's range of connectivity options straight from the box

Our sample came with the drivers on a DVD-R disc, so it's unclear if any applications will be bundled with the retail package.

Warranty

The package is supplied with a two-year warranty that's based on the card's serial number, intimating that it starts when it is shipped out of the factory. The warranty is transferable, should it be sold on, and whilst the retailer that you purchased it from may swap-out defective cards, PowerColor handles most queries directly, promising a seven-day turnaround from collection.
