VisionTek Ships GeForce4 Cards Minus Components

VisionTek shipped the initial orders of Xtasy GeForce4 Ti4600 without the video in & out cable and video editing software. Production delays from the cable and software vendors that caused this delay are being rectified, VisionTek said today in a press release. Customers who ordered a VisionTek Ti4600 with the parts not included in the box will receive a note with a web link to get these parts sent to them as soon as VisionTek?s vendors fill the order. Future products will be shipped with all items included in the retail package.
?After much debate, we decided it was more important to get the video board into the customer's hands as soon as possible and follow up by shipping the cable and software as soon as we get them from the vendors,? VisionTek added in their statement.

Did a search, said page cannot be displayed, hope its not a repost.

So $400 for a barebones video card? not for me...

I don't think that most people that buy those cards really care about anything else but the card itself. Most likely they have the S-Video cable and stuff from another graphics card they have laying around (most likely a GeForce 3 since they are so rich).

I think this is a smart move. I don't mind waiting a month or so to get some additional functionality. This card is aimed squarely at hardcore gamers, and hardcore gamers are more worried about performance than features.
