Packaging

The packaging for the GTX 1070 Gaming X looks a little different than the last few MSI Gaming cards I’ve seen, but it still has the same feel as well. The box has the bright red that they use on the cards and then , of course, it has the Nvidia mandated green and black strip with the model name on it. I’m completely loving that they put the card right on the front. We see this with most other products but for some reason, a lot of motherboard and video cards don’t have any pictures of what you are getting on them. In some cases, it's because the box will get used with multiple models, but other times they have printed details like the exact model name but still skip out on the picture. So it is a welcomed addition and let's be honest the card photo looks great. The front mentioned DX12, Ansel, VRWorks, and Gameworks from Nvidia along with the Twin Frozr VI cooler and its 8 gigs of video memory.

The back of the box has a lot going on as well. By putting the card on the box it opened up MSI to show specific photos of things like the RGB LED Logo on the top edge of the card and even a photo of the cards backplate. They, of course, show off the gaming app as well. Then below all of that, you get a feature listing and an actual specifications listing.

Inside you have a second box that covers the whole top that houses the driver/software disk, sticker, and a quick users guide. The box also helps protect the video card from the top. The rest is handled by the foam with a cutout the shape of the card and of course a static protective bag.

I like that MSI also includes a sticker across one of the cards fans reminding people that the fans don’t always spin up. I know a lot of people freak out the first time they look and don’t see the fans spinning.
