Packaging
Packaging for the Sapphire HD 7790 Dual-X takes from your standard Sapphire packaging but this time around they went with a red coloring on the bottom half. Ruby is all camo’ed up and ready for a fire fight with her gun hanging off her back and ammo hanging all over her. Although the packaging doesn’t give you the full details or specifications, you do have most of the important info like the model name, 1GB of ram, and the fact that this is an overclocked card. Around back there is a feature list with each having a nice icon next to them. Along with that you will also find a “what’s in the box” listing to show you what to expect before you dig in although to be honest the list is fairly general.
Inside the card is wrapped up in the padded static protective bag that I always love from Sapphire and sitting in a formed tray. All of your accessories are in the section along the bottom as well.
With everything out, we can see that the Sapphire HD 7790 Dual-X comes with a crossfire bridge, a very long Molex to six pin adapter, a DVI to VGA adapter, and an HDMI cable. Although HDMI cables keep getting cheaper and cheaper, it’s still great to see that they included one, this is rare to see with any of the other manufactures.
The Sapphire HD 7790 Dual-X comes covered in plastic as well on top of the padded bag that it is shipped in.
