Packaging

The box for the MSI RTX 4070 Ventus 3X is a departure from what we saw on the Nvidia Founders Editon 4070 but it is in line with a traditional case box in size and shape. MSis design has a black background with a large picture of the card itself in the center on the front which I love. The Ventus 3X branding is below that and right next to the green wrap-around that Nvidia has on all of their cards which also has the model name itself in it. Beyond that MSI has their red gaming badge but the only MSI brand visible is in the picture of the card with each fan having the logo perfectly lined up. Around on the back of the box it has another picture of the card, this time zoomed in more and sitting vertically like a tower over on the right. MSI has an extremely small specification listing which doesn’t include things you would want to know like the clock speed or card dimensions but does at least let you know what display connections the card has. Beyond that, they dive into a few of their key features with short descriptions and then have Nvidias features under key features and again on the wrap-around as well.

Inside the main box is a topless box that holds everything. This is mostly filled with foam except for the cutout shaped to the 4070 Ventus 3X which comes also wrapped in a static protective bag. Under that, there aren’t any accessories which was a surprise. Most 4000 Series cards have had the new 12VHPWR connection and with that needed an adapter but the 4070 Ventus 3X doesn’t have that. You do get one document which is a universal user guide with QR codes on the front, one for Nvidia cards and another for AMD cards.
