Packaging

If you have been paying attention to any of the other Nvidia 4000 Series Founders Editon cards the packaging for the RTX 4070 Founders Edition isn’t going to be a surprise at all. But for those that haven’t seen the design before, it has to be the craziest video card packaging out there. The box is huge, especially considering the card size. Nvidia kept things simple for the front as well with the all-black background design and then just their logo and the model number on the front in large silver letters. The black background carries on to the top, bottom, and back as well. The top of the box has an hourglass shape giving a small hint of the card’s styling. Then around on the back, there is a sticker that has basic specifications, a list of what is inside the box, warranty information, and your serial number and UPC barcodes. The only downside to the simple design is that you don’t have a picture of the card at all but they do at least give you the card dimensions which a lot of cards don’t have on their box but should for retail shoppers.

When you spin the box around to the sides though this is where the box stands out. You can see completely through the box with the triangle-shaped holes, two on each side. The side shows that the box is made of corrugated plastic and Nvidia has stickers that wrap around the middle on both ends that keep the box closed and function as a seal. They are perforated and you can pull them off to open the box up.

The box opens up like Pacman’s mouth and the inside has a black background but with silver stripes that give a traveling through space like effect. The top and bottom halves of the box then have cutouts that fit the shape of the card and opening the box up you get a full view of the card which sits in its cutout upside down so that the model name on the back is readable.

Once you pull the card out there is a card that sits behind it, pulling that out will show a small box. The box has a QR code for installation guides and then really simple line drawings are also on the card showing how to get things going. Under that, the 4070 Founders Edition also comes with a 12VHPWR adapter. It adapts from two 8-pin PCIe power connections down to the more compact 16-pin connection that is part of the new ATX 3.0 standard.
