Packaging

The red and black theme and iconic dragon continues on the mini-ITX GTX760 as it has with all of the MSI Gaming Series products. The information provided on the back is kept to the key items as not to clutter and confuse the buyer by overloading them with facts and claims. We are not going to be covering it here as we will be spending enough time on it shortly.

MSI packaged the GTX 760 in multiple sections; the smaller box on top is the accessories with the larger bottom portion containing the GPU.

As stated above, the smaller of the boxes you will find the quick user’s guide, driver CD, DVI to D-Sub Dongle, 8pin power Cable and Mini DP to DP Adapter. Sadly it does not come with the cool sticker and door hander as the Z87i AC did.
