Packaging

Much like the card, the packaging for the R9 380 ITX card was amazingly small. With a lot of Sapphires cards, especially the budget cards they use small packaging to keep costs down but this box is actually even smaller. On the front is a weird robot. They have the AMD logo of course and then up in the top left corner is the cards model name. The bottom left has a few features starting with the 4GB capacity, AMD Freesync, and the card being and ITX form factor. The Overclock Edition is a sticker so they can sell a normal clock speed card along with the overclocked card but currently overclocked is the only option other than the 2GB model that has been out. The back doesn’t really have any information exclusive to the card, just information on Sapphires dedication to gamers.

Inside the small card was really packed into the inner box. The card comes wrapped in a static protective bubble wrap bag. Then from there the documentation, driver disc, and a few accessories were packed in with it tightly. See Sapphire typically includes a few accessories still where a lot of the other manufactures have dropped them to save money on everything but the higher end cards. The 380 ITX comes with a double 6-pin to 8-pin adapter on the chance you don’t have an 8-pin PCI power cable on your power supply. They also include a DVI to VGA adapter as well as a mini DisplayPort to full sized DisplayPort adapter. For documentation you get a quick installation guide, a paper with contact information, and a color page with information on registering your card. Then of course there is the driver disk, I always download the latest driver online but if you can’t get online it is still nice to have the option.
