Retail Box and Bundle

On the front of the box for the ZOTAC AMP! GeForce GTX 550 Ti you can see a mean looking dragon and all the icons for PhysX, OpenGL, HDMI, and 1024MB of DDR5 Memory.  ZOTAC also calls out the "ZOTAC BOOT" bundle that is several software packages that help with video encoding, DVD burning, and playback.  There is also call outs for the extended warranty and that this is one of ZOTAC's AMP! Edition cards meaning it comes overclocked from the factory.
