Packaging

Considering the size of the boxes for the last few Nvidia launches I was expecting to see something similar when AMD sent their stock cards but that wasn’t the case at all. In fact, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX packaging was compact and similar in size to what Nvidia’s Founders Edition’s used to come in before all of their cards had too much thanksgiving dinner and bulked up. The box for the RX 7900 XTX does something else that I love to see on any hardware packaging, they have a picture of the card across a majority of the front of the box. There is a black background at the top with a fog effect which is where they have the AMD branding as well as the Radeon RX 7900 XTX model name which is all in a metal finish. But the card itself on the front has its lighting on and features the Radeon branding that is printed on the card.

The back of the box for our sample doesn’t have a UPC but you can see the location where that will be and below that, it has all of the certification logos needed. The bottom half of the box has the contact information for AMD and some legal text. The top half then features the AMD Adrenalin software including a picture and a few short descriptions. These don’t really see retail stores, so not having the card dimensions and things like the rear I/O isn’t a big deal. I was surprised as a whole though that the box doesn’t have the normal AMD wrap-around that all aftermarket cards have to have for consistency but without it, the packaging looks great.

Once you cut the seal and open the box for the RX 7900 XTX up AMD has the card exposed without a static protective bag and sitting in its own foam cutout. I love this jewelry-like unboxing experience, it gives the card importance. The RX 7900 XTX model name is printed around the foam cutout and the smoke from the front is here as well which also carries up onto the underside of the top of the box. That is where they have a small foam ring used to keep the card safe but in the middle of that, they have text welcoming you to the RED team.

When you pull the card out you can see a foam panel under the card used to tilt it up. There is also a small foam panel that can be removed. This is where they have the documentation tucked away. You get a card for the red team with a QR code on it and a user manual that unfolds with some information and a QR code as well for more information.
