The GTX 465 performs well for its price and responds well to overclocking which seems consistent with its bigger brothers. The GTX 465 gives Nvidia a lower priced DirectX 11 part to compete with ATi’s HD 5800 series cards which have seemingly had a stranglehold on the market. You also get the latest benefits of Nvidia’s cards including 3D Vision Surround, PhysX and Purevideo HD.
Hi Everyone, today we are taking a look at the GTS 450 from the guys at Sparkle Computer Corp. Now for those who don’t know Sparkle has been around since 1982 in Taiwan, making them well known around the globe and for slightly over a year now, they are beginning to leave their mark in the USA. Now what I like about Sparkle is the fact that they can keep their prices low on most their products and they have 2 different lines to choose from.
Sparkle Computer Corp is perhaps best known for their nVidia-based graphics cards. They have sent over one of their latest creations, a version of the popular GTS 250 graphics chipset. This is the same G92 series core that first appeared in the 8800GT and continued in use through the early 9600GSO, 9800GT, GTX and GTX+ cards, finally to end up as the GTS 250. Over its lifespan the G92 has gone through a die shrink from 65nm to 55nm, which helped to result in less power usage and lower temperatures. Sparkle has taken that concept to a whole new level with a low power, low profile version of the GTS 250 designed for use as a home theater PC component.
With home media computers finding their way into many people's living rooms a need for high-powered hardware in smaller form factors is on the rise. Sparkle has answered the call for more power in a smaller size with their low profile sized GTS 250 nVidia GPU graphics card. Maintaining a larger cooling setup for performance and designing the overall card to fit in a low profile scenario makes this card the perfect graphics workhorse for a media computer or slim desktop computer.
Today for review I’ve got two cards from Sparkle, they’re both the GT240 but one has 512mb of ram while the other has 1024mb of ram. So this review is a review yes, but it’s also a comparison of what 512mb is worth when compared to 1024mb of ram on a video card. I was curious myself, and ultimately surprised by what I found out.
We take a look at the Sparkle GTX 480, and put it through some long term testing, we all know its fast, but how does it hold up? Does this world's fastest stock single GPU warrant your cash?
If you have just built a new system and want to pick up a capable, yet inexpensive graphics card then there are no shortage of options available under £150. Today we are looking at the Sparkle GTX650 Ti Dragon Series priced around the £120 inc vat mark. Is this card capable of powering the latest Direct X 10 and Direct X 11 titles at HD resolution? Today we aim to find out.
$500 is not much to pay for someone determined to have the best of the best video card, but this only describes a handful of well-off individuals. The rest of us have to make trade-offs; naturally, we want the biggest bang for our buck. Cards like the GeForce GTX 465 exist to fill that niche; they offer performance that's fairly close to their top-end brethren for a more reasonable price. Sparkle has sent us a card that looks to be gunning for that market of enthusiastic-gamer-who-isn't-filthy-rich, based on the GeForce GTX 465 using nVidia's reference design.
The Sparkle GTS450 comes packed with 1GB of RAM and Sparkle has gone ahead and overclocked this card for that little extra kick. If you are looking to upgrade your machine and not break the bank, the Sparkle GTS450 might be for you.
I’ve got another Sparkle video card for review today, no it’s not another GT240, it’s the GT430. It’s a small low-profile card so it would work great with an HTPC, or a small, basic gaming system. You’re not going to be playing Crysis on it but it can handle some other light gaming and as a plus it is Direct X 11 capable.
