Bundle and warranty



A somewhat generic box featuring ATI's Ruby.



The rear covers several of the card's main features. Great 'on-the-throne' reading, honest!




Items Installation driver CD
CrossFire cable
HDMI dongle
VGA dongle
Component adapter
S-video-to-composite converter

A basic bundle, but one that contains everything you need to make the most of the Radeon HD 4870's connectivity options.

No bundled game ensures that it's almost as reference as reference can be.

Warranty and info.

So who is Force3D? It's the newest aib (add-in board) partner for AMD. The package has a standard two-year warranty that begins on the date of purchase, but the warranty is not transferrable.

Force3D's UK distributor handles all warranty-related claims and keeps an excess stock should problems arise and a new card be required by a consumer.

However, at the time of writing, no leading etailer carried Force3D products, and you have to have them on the electronic shelves if you want to sell 'em.
