With the GeCube x1950Pro HDCP Edition video card, you receive a User’s Manual, the x1950Pro card, a S-Video/Composite dongle, a high definition Component dongle, a DVI to VGA adapter, a two to one power adapter and a Driver’s Disc.
The included User’s Manual is in black and white and has easy to follow illustrations and directions. The included DVI to VGA adapter will give your aging CRTs and analog LCDs a chance at gaming goodness. Note that only one is included.
 
The x1950Pro video card requires you to supply it with an extra six pin power cable from your power supply. Most new PSUs come with these available to plug directly in, but some do not and some users are still holding on to their high powered PSUs of the past. GeCube has kindly included a dual four pin Molex to single six pin video power adapter. Very handy.
For auxiliary video outputs, you have the ability to hook many different combinations to the x1950Pro HDCP series video card. Included S-Video, Composite and RGB Component dongles are included for your high definition pleasure. Granted this is no replacement for HDMI or straight DVI, but hey, you can still have your widescreen gaming monitor hooked up and still have outputs available for your DVD viewing pleasures on your high definition big screen.
 
The GeCube x1950Pro video card is pretty close to AMD reference design. Using a beautiful red PCB and graphics, this card is not by any means an eye sore. This card is fairly long, like most new cards, but only takes up a single expansion slot unlike many other cards on the market that take up two slots for additional cooling. This lack of additional heatsink is due to the lower clock speeds and lower power consumption of the Pro series GPU.
 
You can see that the back of the card has very little cluttering the board. Most of the red PCB is covered by a copper plate… but more of that on the next page.
