| BFG 9800GTX OCX Graphics Card Review | ||

| Packaging and Accessories Packaging and Accessories The exterior packaging of the BFG 9800GTX OCX is nearly identical to that of their stock card with a predominantly black color scheme along with some greenish accents. Both the front and the back carry quite a bit of information which discusses the card, its features and gives a fair amount of face time to BFG’s Lifetime Warranty. The only distinguishing feature which marks this box as different is the inclusion of the BFG OCX logo. We love understated and since this card is not due to hit brick-and-mortar stores anytime soon, anything more would have just been window dressing. The accessories which are included with this card are what really make it stand out. Even though it doesn’t have any of the games or bag-o-extras the some of the competition offers, the BFG 9800GTX OCX does include things their stock-clocked card does not. Other than the usual Molex to 6-pin adaptor, VGA to DVI dongle and HDTV-out connector you also get the SPDIF and HDMI connectors that were missing from BFG’s stock offerings. The HDMI connector is a basic DVI to HDMI adaptor which along with the 9800GTX’s hardware audio processing ability and the SPDIF connector, is able to deliver audio through this adaptor to any high-def audio system you may have. BFG also provides easy-to-understand step by step installation instructions that walk you through the process of properly connecting the HDMI and SPDIF connectors to the 9800GTX and your motherboard or audio card.
