Box Front
The front of the package is dominated with the 'BE' emblem signifying that this is a Black Edition (overclocked) graphics card. I you were not already aware then XFX have also taken the liberty of sticking a product label to the bottom of the package which also describes on of the main features of the graphics card, Double Dissipation cooling.
Box Rear
The rear of the package is identical to previous XFX AMD cards we have reviewed in that it goes into great detail regarding it's 'X' features. Xpertise, Xfactor, Xformance et al are the order of the day and it is nice to see a company going into detail over it's feature list rather than just giving a list with no explanation.
Inner Package
After removing the outer sleeve we are greeted with a sleek black obelisk with the XFX monikor uppermost. Opening the lid we find a compartmentalised affair which has a tray containing the accessories and paraphernalia atop of the graphics card itself.
Accessories
XFX never cease to impress in this area and thus I am happy to report that even though this card is classed as a budget entrant, XFX have shown the same attention to detail as with their flagship models. For your money you get a variety of product documentation along with driver CD, VGA adaptor, mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort adaptor, Crossfire bridge, an attractive metal 'Black Edition' Case badge and even a 'Do not disturb' door hanger. MY only regret is that there were no molex to 6pin adaptors present but considering most PSUs today have at least a single 6pin PCIe power cable this isn't so much of an issue as it once was.
Let's move on to the graphics card itself...
