Packaging
The packaging for the GIGABYTE R9 285 OC WINDFORCE 2X graphics card is a medium-sized full-color cardboard box that sports a semi-glossy finish. The front of the package has the large GIGAEYE image with the company logo. Other information pertaining to the WINDFORCE cooling, graphics card model, memory and size, and overclocking are present and printed in large format for easy identification and reading.
The back side of the package has a very nice schematic of the WINDFORCE cooling technology and how it works. Also printed here are several of the main features in nine different languages.

Inside the packaging resides the graphics card which is protected with an anti-static bag. Keeping the graphics card in place are cardboard spacers. Packaged underneath the graphics card are the software CD, graphics card quick guide, and two Molex to PCIe power connector adapters. This is about as basic as it gets and pretty typical for cards in this price sector.
Now that we have examined the packaging and contents, let us take a closer look at the graphics card itself!
