GeForce GTX 275 shootout BFG | Inno3D | Palit | Sparkle

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 04/16/2009 01:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]

A week or two ago NVIDIA announced it's latest graphics card positioned in the high-end region called the GeForce GTX 275. The GeForce GTX 275 is a bit of a hybrid card in-between the GeForce GTX 260 and GeForce GTX 285. As such we figured to cease the moment and show you a couple of retail boards. For this article in total five GeForce GTX 275 graphics cards will be put to the test. We take the NVIDIA reference sample, two reference clocked products and two pre-overclocked products to see where we are at in terms of performance, cooling and features among the difference AIB/AIC partners.

Sparkle GeForce 9600 GT Passive review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 08/06/2008 01:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]

I had a peek around for an exotic model GeForce 9600 GT. I ended up with Sparkle .. get this .. 99 EUR for their passively cooled product with 512MB GDDR3 memory. I'm sorry but that's just a heck of a lot more value than the 9500 GT will offer gaming performance wise. And next to that, as this review will show .. the product has a few surprises ready under it's sleeves.

Sparkle GeForce 8800GT Cool-Pipe3 512MB review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 01/17/2008 02:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]

Sparkle recently released a GeForce 8800 GT that actually is passively cooled. Because the reference cooled 8800 GT already runs insanely hot to 90 degrees C, doing the cooling part passive .. would definitely make things even worse. Combine that with the rumored GPU core temperatures of 110 Degrees C I pretty much stereotyped the product even before we had tested it.

Sparkle Calibre P880LV GeForce 8800 320MB

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 03/19/2007 02:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]

Much like other companies out there with a special edition card, the Calibre series is slightly more expensive yet you'll receive some pretty nifty extra candy. In the case of the GeForce 8800 GTS 320 MB they are offering your an overclocked model armed with nothing less than a peltier cooler.

Review: Sparkle Calibre P790+ 512 MB SLI

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 08/27/2006 01:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]

Sparkle has their usual line of cards and then their Calibre line of cards as well. Much like other companies the Calibre series is slightly more expensive yet you'll receive some pretty nifty extra candy. In the case of the GeForce 7900 GT they are offering a 790 and 790+ model of this videocard and we'll be looking at that P790+ model.
