MSI GTX 460 Cyclone Specs / Packaging & Accessories MSI GTX 460 Cyclone Specifications MSI equips their Cyclone OC card with a higher core clock but the memory speeds unfortunately stay at reference values. The reasoning behind this lack of memory overclock isn’t quite clear since we have seen in the past that the GTX 460’s GDDR5 is highly adaptable to being pushed. It could be that MSI is leaving room for additional cards in their lineup but it would have been nice to see at least a small bone thrown our way in terms of increased memory performance. Packaging & Accessories   There was once a time when graphics cards manufacturers loved to hike up the size of their boxes in order to get noticed on retail shelves. The result was astronomical shipping costs and a massive waste of cardboard. Luckily, those times are over and companies like MSI have begun shipping their GPUs in more modestly sized boxes. This one gives us all of the necessary information except (as usual) the actual clock speeds this card ships with.  As is usual for most MSI cards, the internal packaging for this one is extremely well done with high density foam padding on every side and the accessories pushed out to the side.  The accessories list is basic as is the case with most other GTX 460 cards. You get two power adaptors, a DVI to VGA connector and a DVI to HDMI dongle. Conspicuous by its absence is a mini HDMI to HDMI cable or adaptor like most other companies ship with their cards but we are assuming that MSI expects the included DVI to HDMI dongle to sub in. There’s also a warranty information card with all of the information you will have to give to MSI’s customer support in case you ever have to RMA the card. | ||||
