Retail Box and Bundle

EVGA GeForce GTX 460 SuperClocked GDDR5 Video Card Retail Box Front

The retail box for the GeForce GTX 460 SuperClocked 768MB graphics card is fairly plain with just the EVGA company logo, the product name and a couple of the features of the card listed on the front.

EVGA GeForce GTX 460 SuperClock GDDR5 Video Card Inside Box

Inside the full color box that was designed for retail display is an inner 'box' made from recycled content that had the user guide and sticker on the outside and all the hardware goodies on the inside.

EVGA GeForce GTX 460 SuperClock GDDR5 Video Card Retail Bundle

The bundle included with the EVGA GeForce GTX 460 SuperClocked graphics card was not bad. You ger a pair of 6-pin PCIe power adapters, a DVI-to-VGA adapter, a Mini-HDMI to HDMI adapter, a case badge, user guide, quick start guide and of course the driver disc. EVGA was kind enough to put their free overclocking utility called Precision on the driver disc, which was a nice touch. The EVGA Precision software makes overclocking easy for those that want to get even more performance from this already overclocked GeForce GTX 460 GPU (GF104).

EVGA GeForce GTX 460 SuperClock GDDR5 Video Card Driver Disc

Taking a closer look at the VGA driver disc we can see that it also comes with Adobe Acrobat reader, a FRAPS trial, F@H GPU client, Precision overclocking software, DirectX and SLI software, a user's manual and a couple NVIDIA DX11 demos. If the files on the disc still aren't enough for you EVGA has provided four direct links to various EVGA websites that you should visit. One being the product registration page, which is critical if you want to get the card's full two year warranty as if you don't register the product you won't get the full coverage period. EVGA video cards ending with part number TR have a 2-year warranty, while those cards that end in AR have a lifetime warranty.
