EXPERT REVIEW

The Box

The box has the trademark orange color with a graphics drawing in the middle. Since it's the 'Amp' Edition, the creature is a dragon with his wings spread, supposed to symbolize the power of the card. The back of the box has a small intro about the GT2xx series, which can also be found on NVIDIA's website.

The card comes packed in a brown box lined with a thick foam mould which holds the card firmly in place. This is important, as it ensures the card does not get damaged while shipping.

The Bundle

The bundle consists of the following:

Quick Install Guide

2x 6-pin PCI-E to Molex power adapters

Component and S-Video out dongle

SPDIF cable

1x DVI to VGA adapter

1x DVI to HDMI adapter

Driver CD

GRID full game DVD

"Zotac" Case Badge

Apart from the usual accessories, I was really happy to see that Zotac had bundled the full version of 'GRID' as the free game. This game really complements the card well and has a lot of eye candy, so the GTX 260 can really show off its prowess.
