The PackageNormally we are used to seeing fancy X shaped boxes from XFX but this time around they have opted for a smaller rectangle shaped one that is quite simple. The front of the box has a black/red theme with 3/4 of Fatal1ty’s face along with his nick name and logo on the front of the box.
Looking closer at the box in the bottom left hand corner in small text we can see that it’s a 7600GT, we can see it uses SBD or “Silent but Deadly” cooling technology and also features 650MHz core clock speed, 256MB DDR-3 and support for SLI.
Turning the box over we can see the card and we also get a break down on some of the main features of the card including the SBD cooling technology and a blurb on Fatal1ty and how he “chooses” XFX.
Getting inside we have driver CD, a single DVI to VGA connector, S-Video cable for TV Out a quick install guide and a run down on the TV out connection on the card and what you can and can’t use with it.
Personally I wonder what the importance of a package is sometimes - I don’t think it’s a huge deal breaker normally but when you market a card differently by calling it an “Extreme” model or “Fatal1ty” edition like this one here today, you do expect a bit more. Considering that Fatal1ty is a professional gamer, one would think that the most logical move would be to include one of his favorite games in the package. Or even just two DVI to DVI to VGA connectors since the card is dual DVI.
Fancy box but it’s certainly missing some gear inside. Let’s move onto the graphics card itself now.
