Packaging

While the ITX Compact is a completely different card from what Sapphire normally produces, the packaging is still a lot like the rest of their product line. Other than the ITX Compact logo up in the top left corner you wouldn’t know this is a special card. I would love to see them drop the artwork on the front and show off the card right on the cover, considering the product name is already printed on the box it’s not like they can reuse the box for other things. The rest of the cover is mostly covered with circles with information like the 2GB of GDDR5, Eyefinity support, and support for 4K. Around on the back there is a little more information about the card but still no photos of the card itself or even a picture of the connections available on the card. You do still get a specification listing down on the bottom of the box though.

Inside the box, you have a Sapphire mouse pad right on top. The card is wrapped up in a bubble wrap bag and sitting in the cardboard tray keeping it secure and protected. For accessories you get a two six pin to 8 pin adapter, a Mini DisplayPort to full sized DisplayPort adapter and a DVI to VGA adapter. As always, Sapphire also includes an HDMI cable, something that no one else does and it adds to the cards value. For documentation, you get a driver disc, a quick installation guide, and a paper about how to sign up for the sapphire club.
