TUL PowerColor X700 Pro 256

Conclusion

The TUL PowerColor X700 Pro 256 is a good card without any great strengths or weaknesses. It offers solid 3D performance with a standard feature set. The software bundle is targeted at DVD-authoring aficionados, but is partly outdated. The gaming bundle consists of a single game, Hitman Contracts, which is only suitable for a mature audience and should definitely be kept away from children.
