| Packaging and Accessories Packaging and Accessories  When buying a sub-$200 card, customers don’t want to spend a fortune on shipping so ASUS drastically cut down the usual gargantuan-sized box to something a little more palatable. Even though it is short and narrow, ASUS was able to fit an incredible amount of information onto the exterior cardboard sleeve. Along with the Voltage Tweak sticker, there is mention of the DisplayPort, HDMI, 1GB GDDR5 and the included Smart Doctor software.  We have come to expect good protection within the ASUS cards’ boxes and this one doesn’t disappoint. The card itself is nestled within a cocoon of cardboard while being additionally wrapped in an anti-static bag and the accessories are pushed off to the side in their own separate compartment.  The accessory package is a bit bare but you get all of the necessities including a Crossfire bridge and DVI to VGA adaptor. However, there wasn’t an included Molex to PCI-E adaptor so we are guessing ASUS is assuming that everyone who buys this card will have a compatible PSU. When it comes to software, there is a driver CD that includes the Smart Doctor software as well as a CD with a multi-lingual manual. | ||
