The Package

The package is very similar to the HD 4850 we looked at as far as the overall layout goes; across the top of the box we have the Gainward name along with the G logo. In the middle of the card we have an angel like character along with some NVIDIA logos and mention that the card comes with a free copy of 3DMark Vantage.

The bottom of the card gives us the model, which in this case is the 9800 GTX+. We also have some of the main features like 512MB of GDDR3 memory, 3-Way SLI support, DX10, Dual DVI and more.

Turning the box over, we have details regarding some of the technologies that are implemented into the card. We also have some mention about NVIDIAs advantages. Across the bottom of the box we have the Gainward logo, the URL to their website and a number of other logos.

Apart from the quick start guide we have another sheet of paper that has a Vantage key. To make use of it you will need to download Vantage from the Futuremark website. Also included is a driver CD that has drivers, the manual and a copy of expertool.

As far as cables go, we've got a single dual molex to 6-pin power connector, DVI to VGA connector, DVI to HDMI connector and a cable that sits between your graphics card and sound card to help let the HDMI convertor transfer both video and audio.
