I am just curious what (if anything) comes extra with a Radeon 64 meg DDR w/ VIVO in the Retail box. Games, programs, whatever...

Maybe they're putting games in there now, but as far as I know (I own one) there aren't any games with it. Drivers, a good dvd player, are basically the important stuff.

Okay. Yeah, because my other Ati just came with a demo game, nothing special. I was just wondering if Ati was going the way of nVidia and including all sorts of juicy stuff. I forget which card he bought, but one of my friends got king pin and a lot of other stuff with his retail card.

Oh, well, I guess that's another reason why Ati hasn't won over in the gaming market.

Videocard makers decide whether or not to have a game bundle.

ATI's new card Radeon8500 comes with a few games: http://www.rage3d.com/#1002812351

Is that the Radeon 8500 you're talking about, or a different model?

The Radeon 8500 is just hitting the shelves.
