Sparkle GeForce GTX 275

Sparkle GeForce GTX 275 unboxing

Okay, so here we see Sparkle's offering. This GeForce GTX 275 is again 100% reference based and can be considered the most standard product tested today, Now make no mistake, that is not a negative thing. See, as such typically you can purchase a card like this for a very sharp price, typically that means even lower than the MSRP (suggested retail price) and let's face it... the GTX 275 is offering really good performance at default. It's one of the best bang for buck cards around.

Again once we plant the card on it's back we can spot the two SLI connectors, aka fingers for full 3-way SLI compatibility. Reference as everything is, there's really nothing wrong with that. Reference really isn't a bad word folks.

The one thing different for the card is that Sparkle always used their house color for their PCB's, and as such you can see that the PCB color is blue.

Right, quite honestly I think you guys have seen enough photo's of the cards. How about we startup some actual testing. As always we start off with generic installation and look at heat, noise and power consumption.
