Nope mine didn't.  That was the first thing I looked for, actually. It 
is a new brand "3D Fuzion" made by BFG Tech, their main line is of out 
of the box overclocked cards, so they decided to go with a low-end line 
too.  I guess they saved a few bucks by not including the dongle.

I was able to go get an adapter so I can use a composite cable, and it 
works well now.

Anyway, as a warning to others, if you think those cheap switchboxes 
will convert, they won't!
