Connect3d X700 Pro PCI-E video card
Which video card should I get might be the biggest question you are asking yourself. Today we have a X700 Pro video card from Connect3d which seems to be
a very nice card for a small amount of money that can still perform very well. We will compare this to a normal X700 card and against a Geforce 6600GT to
see which actually performs the best.

A very nice package protectes the card and on the back of the box we have specifications and features of the card.
Everything was well sorted in their own little compartments in the box.

Included with the card is a S-video cable, manual, DVI adapter and some license papers.
The card itself has a red PCB and it looks very nice even though the memory are missing heatsinks.
It's a pretty small card so this would fit easily in a HTPC rig or barebone also.
