MSI N260GTX Lightning Black Edition Video Card Review :: Bundle
 Front of Box  Rear of box  Side box shot  Top tray open MSI bundles the box with a picture of the F22 Lightning fighter on the front cover and the MSI logo. There is a list of features listed on the front including the amount of memory, Black Edition and more. The rear of the box lists the features with a detailed description of what each feature does for the card. Opening the box we find a two tray system for the card.  Bottom tray open  Accessories  AirForce panel+Box  AirForce Panel The top tray has the N260GTX Lightning Black Edition card in an anti-static bag along with the AirForce panel separate from the graphics card. The bottom tray has two compartments. The left side of the tray has the manuals and the Driver CD. The right side of the tray has the DVI to HDMI converter, the DVI to VGA converter, a SPDIF cable and a USB cable to install the graphics card.  Mini USB  Back of Air Force Panel MSI's AirForce Panel and Lightning overclocking utility requires the use of their branded 182.06 Forceware drivers to control them. These drivers are pretty recent, but not as up to date as the latest NVIDIA Forceware 182.50 which was released last month. Air Force works as advertised. Pushing the Gamer button caused the card to overclock to 673MHz, which is 18MHz higher than the default clock. Using the MSI utility inside the display properties, I was able to overclock the card to 707MHz without it crashing to the desktop. Considering the default clock speed of a GTX260 is 576MHz, this is a great overclock.
