Packaging

Being one of MSIs Gaming Series video cards the R9 380 Gaming 2G came in their typical black and red box. On the cover the black has a circuit board design in it with the red dragon taking up the rest of the front. They did slip their logo up in the top left corner as well as the Gaming Series logo up in the top right. Next to the dragon is the actual product name, for the most part the name covers everything you need to know about the card but they did still include a note that this is a 2 GB card and it is overclocked as well. On the back of the box we actually see a few photos of the cooler but not the entire card. They highlight a few of the cards features with photos as well as include a small specification listing as well.

Inside of the packaging is a black tray with a thin box that covers the top. The box houses the documentation and accessories. That includes a driver/software disc, a quick user guide, a DVI to VGA adapter, and a small MIS Gaming book as well. Up under that box we have the actual card, it is wrapped up in a static protective bag and it sits in a thick foam cutout that keeps it safe in shipping.
