BFG GTX 260 OCX MAXCORE (216SP) 896MB Video Card Review

Packaging and Accessories



The packaging for the OCX MAXCORE isn’t anything to write home about since this is the e-tail box which comes with a specifications sticker and little else. Remember, the OCX cards are not designated to make an appearance at brick and mortar shops so flashy graphics is not required.


The protection afforded the card is more than enough to keep it safe from any bumps and bruises along the journey to and from the retailer. Basically, BFG wraps the card in an anti-static bag (which has a massive warning label indicating that you should plug in BOTH power connectors), then encases it in bubble-wrap and finally places it within a rigid cardboard sleeve.


To be honest with you, I breathed a sigh of relief when rifling through the accessories since there are plenty of board partners out there who refuse to bundle their cards with anything other than the absolute necessities. BFG on the other hand has decided to give everything we could possibly want with the addition of an S/PDIF cable and a DVI to HDMI adaptor in addition to the usual inclusions.
