As was mentioned previously, eVGA is very much a no frills company and the GeForce 6800 GT box reflects much of this. Inside the box contains:

  • GeForce 6800 GT Graphics Board
  • User Manual
  • Software Drivers CD
  • EVGA Logo Stickers
  • Two DVI to VGA Adapters
  • Two Molex to PCI Express Power Adapter
  • S-Video Cable

The power adapter cable is probably one of the most important items that comes with the graphics card. While the new PCI Express slots do provide additional power over the older AGP slots, the amount of power required by the latest graphics cards is very significant. A new form of power connector was also implemented with the PCI Express standards. Older power supplies that do no feature the new 6-pin power connector can use this cable to take two 4-pin Molex connectors to power the video card.

The DVI to VGA adapters are useful for those people who are still using either a CRT monitor or a LCD monitor that uses the older analog interface. It includes two of these interfaces on the graphics card, thus eVGA includes two adapters.
