The Colorful GeForce RTX 4090 Vulcan OC-V graphics card comes inside a standard cardboard box. The front of the package has a large “GeForce RTX” brand logo along with the “iGame” logo in the top left corner and the “Vulcan” series branding in the middle. A large picture of the graphics card itself is depicted on the front which gives a nice preview of the Vulcan OC-V design.
The packaging has put a large emphasis on the RTX side of things as the first feature enlisted by AIBs will be NVIDIA Ada architecture, Ray Tracing & DLSS support. NVIDIA has bet the future of their gaming GPUs on Ray Tracing support as these are the first cards to offer support for the new feature. The back of the box is very typical, highlighting the main features and specifications of the cards.
There’s also a focus towards GeForce.com on each AIB card through which users can download the latest drivers and GeForce Experience application which are a must for gamers to access all feature sets of the new cards.
The sides of the box once again greet us with the large GeForce RTX branding. There’s also the mention of 24 GB GDDR6X (RTX 4090) memory available on the card. Opening the box, you are greeted with a nice quote that reads “Love What You Play”.
Outside of the box, the graphics card and the accessory package are held firmly by foam packaging. The Colorful Vulcan OC-V is jam-packed with a range of accessories. These include two magnetic side panels, one of which is an LCD display while the other is a standard ARGB module. The card also comes with a nice anti-sag bar, a pair of gloves, and a mechanical screwdriver. If you don’t plan on using the LCD on the card, you can route it within your chassis onto a bundled LCD holder that can provide you with real-time statistics of the card itself.
The card is nicely wrapped within an anti-static cover which is useful to prevent any unwanted static discharges on various surfaces that might harm the graphics card. There’s also an ARGB header at the bottom along with the 16-pin to 4 x 8-pin adapter cable. The cable sent with the Vulcan is rated at 300V 14AWG.
After the package is taken care of, I can finally start talking about the card itself. This thing is a beast and I can’t wait to test it out to find what kind of performance improvement I get over current-gen cards.
