SPARKLE Climbs Over 3D Performance Peak with New-Generation Calibre
P880 ULTRA Graphic card
Taipei, Taiwan –
May
2, 2007 - SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd., the professional VGA card
manufacturer and supplier, today proudly announces Calibre P880 ULTRA graphic
card
, powered by NVIDIA GeForce 8800 ULTRA graphics processing unit (GPU),
the new flagship of the NVIDIA GeForce GPU line-up. With the Calibre P880 ULTRA graphic, SPARKLE climbs over 3D performance peak again.
Based on NVIDIA’s next
generation G80 architecture, the Calibre P880 ULTRA graphic card
adopts innovative unified architecture, dynamically allocates
processing power to geometry, vertex, physics, or pixel shading
operations, delivering up to 2x the gaming performance of prior
generation GPUs. Built upon technologies such as NVIDIA Lumenex
Engine, providing support for DirectX 10 Shader Model 4.0,
NVIDIA Quantum Effects technology for physics computation and
GigaThread Technology for extreme processing efficiency in
advanced, next generation shader programs.
The Calibre P880 ULTRA
graphic card is cooled with the high
efficient TEC active cooler system co-developed by MACS
Technology Inc and SPARKLE, which creates your ultimate gaming
experience. This high efficient TEC active cooler system
co-developed by MACS Technology Inc and SPARKLE absorbs
aerospace technologies used in NASA’s space shuttle cooling
territory. It employs aerospace technologies such as thermal
transducer, aerodynamics, heat transfer and embedded software
control for cooling the possibility of overheat problem on GeForce 8800 Ultra GPU.
Helped with the
high efficient TEC
cooler system directly provided from NVIDIA,
the Calibre P880 ULTRA graphic card has an incredible core
speed of 650MHz and 2250MHz
768MB
GDDR3 memory compared
with 612MHz core speed and 2160MHz memory speed of ordinary
GeForce 8800 ULTRA graphic card. Higher core speed and memory
speed not only make
Calibre P880 ULTRA to be the fastest graphic card in the
world, but also ensure the best DirectX 9 and DirectX 10
performance users can enjoy immediately. Also embracing 1500MHz,
the highest shader clock ever created, the Calibre P880 ULTRA
graphic card
deliver ULTRA-realistic DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 gaming
experiences and unparalleled image quality without compromise to
any speed losing. Thanks to NVIDIA brand new advanced PureVideo
HD technology,
the Calibre P880 ULTRA graphic
card also supports for HDCP
(High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), providing the
highest quality High-Definition video for the ultimate home
theater experience.
“Calibre
P880 ULTRA is a
magnificent graphic card we ever created. It's the nonesuch of closed
cooperation between NVIDIA and SPARKLE.
Calibre P880 ULTRA graphic card will transform the PC into the
premier gaming platform.
” Said Kevin Wang, sales director of SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd. "By
dint of higher core speed and memory speed,
Calibre P880 ULTRA graphic card
represents the hardware foundation that allows users to start
building their own definitive gaming PC platforms to experience
high-resolution, high-performance gaming and stellar
high-definition visuals."
