Palit Revolution 700 Deluxe 2GB GDDR5 Video Card Review

by Michael "SKYMTL" Hoenig     |     January 25, 2009

Packaging and Accessories



The Palit Revolution 700 comes in a massive box when compared to the other packages we have seen in the past few months. Literally, it dwarfs nearly everything else out there by a fair margin and reminds us a lot of the old ASUS packages that crammed in everything from games to t-shirts to mountains of accessories.

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately if you has a particularly abusive delivery guy) most of the interior of the box holds protective high density foam to protect against and shipping mishaps.


It is really unfortunate but it seems that Palit didnt want to increase the price of this card too much and thus kept accessory selection to the bare minimum. All you get is a single HDMI to DVI adaptor and a single 6-pin to 8-pin dongle. Other than that there is a driver CD with ancient Catalyst 8.8 drivers and an ages old ATI installation booklet that doesnt even show the installation setup for Windows Vista. Heck, it doesnt even show how to properly install your old drivers in order to avoid performance and stability issues.
