The box art features one of Sapphire's 3D rendered army women complete with oversized bosom and armed to the teeth, ready for some action.
Inside, the card is bundled inside a cardboard box, protected in an anti static bag. The accessories rest alongside the HD7730.
The tiny card is built on a blue PCB with a black cooler and blue fan installed on top. The rear of the card has 1GB of the GDDR3 memory visible. Sapphire can keep the price of this card almost identical to the GDDR5 version, which only features 1GB of memory. Why? GDDR3 is cheaper to produce.
The dual slot card has a single VGA, HDMI and DVI port as shown above.
The other 1GB of GDDR3 is visible once we get the cooler off. The cooler is not a heavy duty design, as the HD7730 isn't a hot running design.
Even though the extra 1GB of GDDR3 memory is a dead giveaway, there is a sticker on the rear of the PCB which highlights the model, shown above.

This integrates proactive monitoring directly into the cable itself, aiming to provide a fail-safe for enthusiasts who want to avoid any potential melting or burning risk associated with flagship cards like the RTX 5090...
Not bad really considering the price. ideal for a low power system with a weak power supply too as there are no demands placed on it.
You know, for that low performance, you might as well get an APU at that budget range. A10-6800K is $130 or so at this time, whereas this $60 + a CPU will be well over that.
The integrated graphics of an APU won’t be as powerful as a HD7730.
