The front of the box shows an icy desert which certainly does well to hint at Vapor-X technology. Of course, a little bit of marketing never hurt anyone so the box highlights the fact that it comes with a free Dirt 2 game.

Of course, the box also lists other specs such as 1GB of GDDR5, HDMI and DisplayPort outs, ATI Eyefinity multi-monitor support, DirectX 11, ATI Stream technology, PCI Express 2.0, CrossfireX support, etc.
