The Colorful iGame GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Vulcan X OC graphics cards come in a standard cardboard box package. The front of both packages has a large "GeForce RTX" branding along with a "Vulcan" logo on the top right corner and the iGame branding logo on the top left corner. The box comes in a reflective material which looks really cool.
The packaging has put a large emphasis on the RTX side of things as the first feature enlisted by AIBs will be Ray Tracing, followed by GDDR6, DirectX 12 and Ansel support. NVIDIA has bet the future of their gaming GPUs on Ray Tracing support as these are the first cards to offer support for the new feature.
The back of the box is very typical, highlighting the main features and specifications of the cards. The key aspects of Colorful's Gaming custom cards are its Sworizer 2.0 cooling system, I.P.P iGame Pure Power VRM, SAW Sickle Fan design, iGame Status Monitor 2.0 and the iGame RGB Lighting system.
There's also a focus towards GeForce.com on each AIB card through which users can download the latest drivers and GeForce Experience application which are a must for gamers to access all feature set of the new cards.
The sides of the box once again greet us with the large GeForce RTX branding. There's also mention of the 11 GB GDDR6 (RTX 2080 Ti) memory available on the cards. The higher bandwidth delivered through the new GDDR6 interface would help improve performance in gaming titles at higher resolution over GDDR5 and GDDR5X based graphics cards.
Outside of the box, the graphics card and the accessory package are held firmly by foam packaging. The graphics card packs some really useful accessories that highlight its premium design.
The card is nicely wrapped within an anti-static cover which is useful to prevent any unwanted static discharges on various surfaces that might harm the graphics card. The card accessories include a Molex power connector which isn't of much use in high-end systems since the PSUs already have the required cables.
Useful manuals and installation guides are packed within an iGame labeled letter case. There's also a sticker case along with a handy multi-tool, a pair of gloves for keeping your card neat and clean and free of smudges or fingerprints when installing it and a nice array of screws which you can use with the multi-tool.
After the package taken care of, I can finally start talking about the card itself. This thing is a beast and I can't wait to test it out to find what kind of performance improvement I get over current-gen cards.
