SPARKLE Launches Geforce 9800 GTX+ with Custom PCB and Cooling



Taipei, Taiwan – September 10, 2008 - SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd., the professional VGA card manufacturer and supplier, today proudly introduced the SPARKLE GeForce 9800 GTX+ Graphics Cards with SPARKLE own designed great non-reference PCB, which brings better performance, stability and native HDMI support compared with NVIDIA reference design.


Great Designed Non-Reference PCB
SPARKLE graphics cards with high performance and exceptional speeds are never far from the gamers' mind. That is why SPARKLE, producer of top quality graphic solutions, has today introduced the graphical solution with its own designed PCB. This PCB design provides enhanced power circuitry with more phases of vGPU power circuit and vMem circuit, combining with Japan-made polymer capacitors will lower power loss, making the graphics card more stable and powerful than NVIDIA reference design. In this way, users will be able to enjoy extreme performance and have peace of mind over product lifespan.
Exclusive Designed Cooling System
The SPARKLE GeForce 9800 GTX+ Graphics Card also utilizes SPARKLE own designed cooling fan that effectively dissipates heat away from the graphics card. Much like a tornado, the elaborately made thermal base combines copper and aluminum together by inserting frozen copper core into the machining hole on the aluminum. This ingenious design quickly transfers heat away from the GPU to lower temperatures, at same time, the copper core is heating up, making the combination even tighter, playing the best cooling effect.
Native HDMI Support
keeping pace with HD tideway, SPARKLE GeForce 9800 GTX+ Graphics Cards feature brand new stepping for providing native HDMI support. They can deliver vivid HD gaming audio and video through one single cable, provide more convenience to pc games and video enthusiasts to play games or watch HD videos on their HDTV.
Unbeatable Performance
738MHz core speed, 256-bit 512MB GDDR3 video memory and 1836MHz 128 stream processors, bringing lifelike character animation and rich, immersive gaming environments for DirectX 10 games, suck as BIOSHOCK, Crysis and so on.

2nd Generation PureVideo HD
High-definition video decoder and post-processor delivers unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video and accurate color for movies and video.
NVIDIA™ PhysX
GeForce GPU support for NVIDIA PhysX technology, enabling a totally new class of physical gaming interaction for a more dynamic and realistic experience with GeForce.
NVIDIA™CUDA Technology
CUDA technology unlocks the power of the GPU's processor cores to accelerate the most demanding system tasks such as video transcoding delivering up to 7x performance over traditional CPUs.
