Packaging
The box for the TUF Gaming RTX 5070 Ti OC starts with a black background with the TUF logo across it. It has a large picture of the card which is always great to see and above the card in the top left corner it has the Asus branding and a larger TUF Gaming logo to the right of the card. Along the bottom, it has the required Nvidia black and green wrap-around which has the GPU model in a huge font and a small list of Nvidia-specific features. Above that Asus has also included the VRAM size, an icon showing this has their Aura Sync support, and an OC badge letting us know the card is overclocked. The main downside to having the model number in the Nvidia wrap-around is that we don’t ever get the full model name altogether. This is the TUF Gaming RTX 5070 Ti OC and all of that information is on the front, but you do have to look around to find it. The back of the box has a few more pictures of the TUF Gaming RTX 5070 Ti OC including a line drawing of the rear I/O so you can see all of the display connections. I do wish there was a basic specification listing, especially with the card dimensions on here which would be helpful for anyone shopping in person though.
Once you pull the outer box off, there is a second box inside. This one is thicker is black with the TUF Gaming logo and a bunch of accents printed all across the top. Inside there is a thin layer of foam glued to the underside of the top of the box and then a thick foam tray inside cut to fit the TUF Gaming RTX 5070 Ti OC and accessories as well. The card itself comes in a static protective bag in thick foam. The card also has plastic all over it once you pull it out to protect it from any scratches. Up under the card, you will also find a cutout with an envelope inside with all of the documentation.
For accessories, the TUF Gaming RTX 5070 Ti OC comes with a few things more than the Prime 5070 Ti did. You get the same 12VHPWR power adapter cable and I do wish that this was like the one that Nvidia includes with the Founders Edition cards, the longer cable as well as the individually sleeved cables puts less strain on the connection. You get a larger TUF-branded Velcro strap. Then you also get a metal TUF Gaming logo-shaped badge and a small slide-out GPU support. It has a rubber bumper on the slide-out and TUF Gaming branding on both the support as well as the TUF logo on the screw that tightens it all down. For documentation, you get a quick start guide, a thank you card, and a piece of paper with drawings showing how to get the power connection correct.
