The packaging is similar to the rest of XFX’s HD 5800 offer – small and sturdy. The box features an almost invisible Black Edition sign, which clearly show that the package holds one mean gaming machine.

You’ll notice a small Assassin’s creed picture on the front, meaning that XFX has got you covered for instant out-of-the-box gaming.

The back of the box shows XFX HD 5850 Black Edition basic features and 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.

HD 5850 765M 1GB DDR5 DP HDMI DUAL DVI PCI-E, which is the card’s full name, comes in sturdy dual packaging. The smaller top package holds Assassin’s Creed game, driver CD, installation guide, quick installation guide, multi-language user guide, DVI-to-VGA adapter, 2x molex-to-6-pin cable adapter and a CrossFire bridge, XFX's "Don't Disturb I'm Gaming" door sign, and a neat XFX Black Edition metal badge. You can see what the package holds on the following picture.
