Packaging

For packaging the R9 280 from Gigabyte comes in a black box with a large blue eye design on the front. There isn’t too much on the front other than the branding as well as logos showing that this is a Gigabyte Windforce card and that it is overclocked. Around on the back there is a lot more going on. Gigabyte includes a breakdown on the Windforce cooling on the card with a few small photos.

When we dig into the box the card itself sits in a cutout section in thick foam and is wrapped up in a static protective bag. For accessories you get a mini DisplayPort to full sized DisplayPort adapter along with two Molex to 6 and 8 pin adapter cables. Gigabyte also includes a Crossfire cable in that nasty bronze color as well. For documentation you just get a small quick guide along with the drive disc.

I thought this was a old review till I saw the date. I take it your testing the drivers?
