Packaging

The packaging for the GTX 1070 G1 Gaming sticks with a similar theme to past Gigabyte G1 Gaming boards. The front of the box has an eye shape on the front, only this time around the eye looks a little angrier compared to the 900 series cards. It’s also in an orange rather than the blue from last time. It still has the normal black and green strip that runs from the front around to the side with the model name and a few of Nvidia’s technologies, just like every other Nvidia card. The front of the box also has small boxes down in the bottom left corner that highlight the Gigabyte Windforce cooling, the RGB lighting, and that this is an overclocked card. Around on the back of the packaging they take each of those three highlights and break them down. This includes a photo of the card and its three cooling fans as well as the heat pipe design. They also show off the two RGB backlit images up on the top edge of the card. I would prefer a full specification listing, or at least the cards dimensions but they did at least include a photo showing the connection options down at the bottom.

Inside the box, well inside the box inside of the outer box, is a third box. That box sits up on top and helps protect the card as well as houses the quick guide and driver/software disk. It seems there aren’t any other accessories included. Under all of that, the card comes wrapped up in a static protective bag and sits in a thick foam tray with a cutout for the card in it.
