Heatsink and ram sink are Very nice with Asus cut out of ramsink.
Comes with Asus smart doctor 2 monitoring software that gives voltages to all parts of card, and temps and Fan Rpm's.

One of the nicest bundles ive seen anywhere. 2 full games(Battle engine Aquaila, and gun metal) 6 Demos and HL2 Coupon. Plus Other stuff.

VIVO Too Boot.

Very nice Asus. Bout time ya Built ATI cards.

BTW there is a major difference in image quality between the 9600Xt and 5600u. They have snapshots with aa and af.

I just bought this card a few days ago...
Its a nice deal... However, the ram sink is only on one side..
and the heatsink/ramsink might not be touching the ram properly...

i havent tried overclocking yet...

Nvidia did the opposite of ati on this one
hothardware did a review, said it overclocks to almost 5950 level!

goto gameve and get the Gainward Ultra/1100 5900. They miss marked it and are honoring the price $205. Awesome Looking card. Its to the right side. says todays missmarked price.

If not get the Albetron 5900. Coolest looking card ive ever seen. It has 3 fans and heatsink is shaped sort of like a firebird.
