Box 'n bundle
As far as boxes go, Vvikoo did a good job with this one. Sure it's pretty big - over a foot long - it's informative, effectively and subtlety styled with a prominent product name on the left hand side.

The left has a couple of "buttons" that show off some of Vvikoo's favourite features.

The back is similarly well layed out, but does suffer from poor translations for the spiel about the card: this card "is the highest technology and fastest speed".

The left hand side has three small sections giving a bit more detail on SLI, PureVideo and DX10.

Bundled with the GT is a molex to 6pin converter, DVI to HDMI converter, DVI to VGA converter, Svideo to component converter, manual, driver CD and a full copy of Tomb Raider Anniversary. Although this game is a little dated now, its still quite a good looking game and isn't a bad way to see what your new card can do.
