Hey all
It's been a while that anything new came from my end so here a topic in this section of the forums since well its my first EVGA FTW item as well,
So to bring EVGA it's self some compliments when it comes to packing hardware even if it's VGA cards Motherboards or anything else;
I took pics of the entire unboxing so hopefully you will like this pics from beginning to end!
Lets star shall we
After opening the transport box this is what you see. AIRBAGS!!!

Under the Airbags you see bubblewrap :)
And once shoving the bubblewrap aside a bit things start to become clear what is in this box of goodies:
There we go and hello there!

Also love the Chrome like letters you guys guys, really brings forward the product's name
After removing the sticky tape from the box and sticking it on the inside of the box's cardboard and opening up the box side flap;
EVGA neatly places a Cyan colored Please Note Decal, this tells you what to do if things don't go well:
Once I neatly and carefully removed the innerbox from the outerbox I made this shot:
Here I opened the innerbox and found a folder with the EVGA logo printed in the cardboard
Slowly I go on revealing the EVGA GTX 1080 FTW2 iCX and some other contents:
Then after unpacking everything else they added a full size poster some stickers a metal case bad manuals and Driver CD:
Here the EVGA GTX 1080 FTW2 iCX, some other extra PCI-E Power cable splitters.
Plus the inner box I took apart from it's protection compartment, all well put together:
After unpacking the VGA card it has this protection decal covering it, keep in mind to remove this before use!
It's on the top of the card along the sides with the LED Logo's are and on the backplates so here three pics I took revealing where these decals are placed:

Rear:
After removing those protection decals here's the piece of art it's sell;
All behold:
EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW2 iCX PCI-E 8192MB 256Bit GDDR5X Rev.A2 1708 (Year 2017 - Week 08)
Thankfully I could see the PCB ate through the rear part of the backplate's E that is above GE from the GeForce GTX 1080 Logo!
Such details are important to me, to comepare with other cards in my Graphics Card Collection
