VGA Card Buyer's Guide 07/2003
Tyan Tachyon G9600 PRO, Continued
The software bundle turned out to be a bit meager. InterVideo's WinDVD is the only software Tyan includes with the card. The card does not come with games. At least there is a 46-page manual (in English) explaining the functions of the card.
Conclusion: The G9600 PRO from Tyan is a very impressive Radeon 9600 card. Unfortunately, the software bundle turned out to be very meager. We are surprised that Tyan runs the memory beyond the memory specifications.

+ DVD player software
+ TV-out
+ Video cable for Composite & S-VHS
