New Generation Graphics Card from SPARKLE; Faster, Better

One of the latest GPUs to be launched by NVIDIA in the market has been the GeForce GTX 550 Ti. All of NVIDIA’s partners have been at work developing their own cards based on this GPU. Sparkle has now introduced an addition to its GeForce 500 series family, with its new GeForce GTX 550 Ti graphics card.

Whereas most vendors will go with the reference NVIDIA design, Sparkle has decided to go with a custom cooler on the graphics card. The card can be overclocked to above 1 GHz. Sparkle claims that these graphic cards are made to suit the mainstream players. Sparkle also claims that the new card outputs higher performance/Watt ratio than the previous generation graphics card. Their performance/Watt output ratio was almost 20 per cent better than the GeForce GTS 450 graphics cards, while the average performance count was 28 per cent times better than the previous generation graphics card.
