BFG GTX 285 OCX 1GB Video Card Review

Packaging and Accessories

The box BFG uses is their standard e-tail package which means a minimum of artwork. Contrary to some reports, this isn’t a case of rushed packaging since this is what BFG has used for the past two years for sales from online retailers while brick and mortar stores get a more interesting packaging scheme.


Unlike some manufacturers, BFG has no issues with listing the full specifications of their card directly on the box. However, the specifications you see here are wrong as BFG changed the clock speeds of their OCX cards right before they went out to retailers.

Protection-wise we get the usual fare from BFG with the card encased in a cardboard cocoon and is additionally wrapped in bubble wrap. There is also an anti-static bag used to package the GTX 285 which makes sure to remind you to plug in the proper power connectors.


We are used to slim accessory bundles nowadays so the lack of any games or programs with the BFG GTX 285 OCX doesn’t come as much of a surprise. However, BFG makes sure you still get an SPDIF cable and a DVI to HDMI dongle included; neither of which was usually included with stock GTX 280 cards. Other than that you get the now-redundant list of connectors, manuals and case stickers that have become a staple in every other GPU package known to man.
