Packaging:

The ASUS EAH3850 TOP packaged in the oversized box pictured below. The cover includes more imagery from "Company of Heroes - Opposing Fronts", which is described as being the "Hottest DX10 Game". In addition, a somewhat generic bar chart is provided to convey that the performance of this overclocked model will be better than the typical HD3850 running at stock speeds. While the overclock itself is roughly 9-15%, the graph makes it look like the performance increase might be close to double!


The back of the box provides detailed multilingual information on a variety of the card's features, as well as system requirements. The image below shows even more information provided on a flap below the front cover. Some information on the included game is provided, as is a description of the ASUS Gamer OSD. This feature allows you to overclock the video card from within a game, letting you ramp up for extra performance without leaving the action.
