No worries about damage during transit here then.

Package

The package that comes with the 8800 Ultra is Gainwards standard well thought-out package including:

* Install Manual
* CyberLink PowerDVD
* CyberLink DVD Solution
* Driver Disk
* 2 x Dual molex to PCI-e 6 PIN power connectors
* 2 x DVI to VGA converter
* 1 x S-Video to Composite/Component cable


That's a pretty decent looking lot of hardware to go with this top-end card. However, on the games front I feel it's pretty severely lacking, especially after the excellent bundle that Sapphire and ATI managed to put together on the HD2900XT.
