SPARKLE
Proudly Announced Calibre P960 GBOX
and
Calibre P960G GBOX Graphics Cards

Taipei, Taiwan –
June 2,
2008 - SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd., the professional VGA card
manufacturer and supplier,
today proudly announced the Calibre P960
GBOX and Calibre P960G GBOX
Graphics Cards, combining
raw DX10 performance with exquisitely made GBOX which vividly
shows graphics cards' live working condition to mainstream gamers.
With the Calibre
P960 GBOX and Calibre P960G GBOX Graphics Cards,
now mainstream gamers
eventually get the
incredible graphics horsepower they need to play popular games such as
Call of Duty 4 and Unreal Tournament 3 at high-definition
resolutions such as 1920x1200 and above, with high-image-quality
features enabled.
Compared with reference designed GeForce 9600 GT Graphics Cards on market,
the Calibre P960 GBOX and Calibre P960G GBOX Graphics Cards
use the high quality MOS
circuit
and low esr solid aluminum capacitors.
Tthe
Calibre P960 GBOX and Calibre P960G GBOX Graphics Cards are
overclocked out of box, giving DirectX 10 gamers
an extra boost in performance at no extra cost. So the
Calibre P960 GBOX and Calibre P960G GBOX Graphics Cards
can get higher scores in 3DMark test, compared
with the
reference designed GeForce 9600 GT Graphics Card.
The Calibre P960
GBOX and Calibre P960G GBOX Graphics Cards
also offers new features for next generation data transportation
standard, it is one of the world's first PCI Express 2.0 graphic
cards.
The
Calibre P960 GBOX and Calibre P960G GBOX Graphics Cards
features the second-generation PureVideo HD engine from NVIDIA.
The NVIDIA PureVideo HD engine and the video processing unit
inside the
Calibre P960 GBOX
and Calibre P960G GBOX Graphics Cards
deliver astounding Blu-ray and HD DVD movie picture quality on a
PC with 100% offload of H.264 video decoding, freeing the CPU to
perform other tasks and significantly reducing power
consumption, heat, and noise. Besides, the accessories of
the Calibre P960
GBOX and Calibre P960G GBOX Graphics Cards
include a DVI-HDMI converter, ensuring users can get HDMI
functions without compromise.
The
ordinary GeForce
9600 GT Graphics Cards on market have a daunting thermal
performance puzzle. The reference designed cooling
fans from NVIDIA can not provide enough airflow to efficiently
spread the working heat. Now
with
strong R&D teams, SPARKLE addresses the issue by introducing
Dual Fly Cooling System for
the Calibre P960
GBOX and Calibre P960G GBOX Graphics Cards to replace NVIDIA reference cooling fans.
Beside this innovative
Dual Fly Cooling System, the
Calibre P960
GBOX and Calibre P960G GBOX Graphics
Card uses SPARKLE VGA Rectifier Technology (VRT) Technology
patented in Taiwan, which set a iron bar on top side of the
graphic card to enhances PCB and VGA card Sharper Imaging:
Improves and sharpens images.
In order to expediently
know the live working condition of the graphic card, now SPARKLE
provides GBOX - the third generation of Daughter Display Port
for both
the
Calibre P960 GBOX and the Calibre P960G GBOX Graphics Cards.
GBOX provides better convenient surveillance, it's
equipped on the five Inch bay of the chassis. Connecting the
Graphics Card through a cable , user can choose the display
content, such as GPU temperature, GPU working voltage, fan
speed. User can master the working state of his Graphics Card
more convenience. Compared with GDP2 Technology, GBOX intuitionistic show the state of the Graphics Card out of the
chassis. This innovation reflects SPARKLE's customer-oriented
concept.
" With out of box overclocking features,
the Calibre P960
GBOX and Calibre P960G GBOX Graphics Cards
give gamers the horsepower to play cutting-edge
DirectX 10 games at a price they will love and can afford."Said Alvin Hsiao, sales manager of SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd. ” Now with
exquisitely designed
GBOX, SPARKLE offer more
convenient way for mainstream gamers, to master the
working conditions of their Calibre graphics cards. GBOX ensures the steady operations
which is pursued by DX10 gamers."
