For the last few years, BFG has clung to the same packaging scheme with a predominantly black design along with a few highlights here and there. “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” goes the old saying and in our opinion, the current box with its small dimensions works perfectly well.

The inner cardboard sleeve is there to keep the foam padding around the card and also offers some additional protection. All in all, this is pretty well done so you won’t have to worry about any damages during shipping.


Since the OC edition is currently BFG’s least expensive GTX 275, the list of accessories is understandably barren. Other than the usual quick start guide, driver CD and case stickers, you get a single DVI to VGA adaptor and a coupon to save 10% on select games.


Taking a look at the card itself you will see something that will become a bit repetitive by the end of this review: a reference-based card. At 10.5” long, it certainly isn’t small but it should fit into the vast majority of ATX cases without an issue.


The stickers placed on the heatsink shroud keep with the same design we saw on the packaging with a predominantly dark color palette and a superhero-like character. Meanwhile, the two PCI-E 6-pin power connectors and single S/PDIF header are placed in the usual location as well.


Since the card we received is a very early design, it only has a pair of DVI connectors without the usual HDTV-out. According to BFG, the retail cards will have the HDTV-Out.
