Packaging and Contents

     Gigabyte packages their card very well.  It's protected on all sides by foam, including the top.  Don't worry the card comes shipped in an anti-static bag.  I removed it for the photo.

     The card comes with two DVI-I to D-Sub adapters, owners manual, driver disk, TV-out to HDTV box, and the full DVD version of  Sid Meier's Civilization IV.

     The component video adapter allows you to hook up to a TV using the S-video port or the HDTV component Y, Pr, and Pb ports.

Layout

     The layout is pretty standard for a 7600GT.  You can see that there is not a power connector as one is not required.  The biggest difference over other 7600GT's is the need to use two slots.

     Because of the massive heatpipe the Gigabyte 7600GT will take up two slots.  This is the price you have to pay for silence.
