he XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS Black Edition comes with a simple but nice packaging. The box art is black and red themed, very AMD Radeon. XFX is still using that brown box to house the graphics card together with its accessories. The package includes an installation guide, a driver CD and a reading material. The reading material is simply saying that if you have an internet connection, don’t use the driver CD; instead download the latest drivers from the internet. Only use the driver CD if you don’t have an internet connection or you don’t have any other choice.
Above you can see the front, back and side views of the XFX RX 580 GTS Black Edition. By the way, it shares the same look and design with the RX 580 GTS XXX Edition and GTS Black Core. The GTR Editions have LED lighting and different shroud design. This card’s cooler shroud features a stairs-like / angled design with a faux carbon fiber finish. It has a nice and solid backplate that wraps around on the end portion of the card. The metal backplate doesn’t really prevent the RX 580 from sagging since it’s not that heavy and it’s not that long; instead it’s for aesthetics (and to protect the components on the back side of the PCB). It’s a good design and I like how the backplate looks. It’s very neutral looking with an XFX logo. I think every mid-range to high end graphics card must have a backplate.
