SPARKLE
Unleashed
Calibre P888+
Graphics Card With
Innovative GDP2 Daughter Card
Taipei, Taiwan –
January 24, 2008 - SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd., the professional VGA card
manufacturer and supplier, today
unleashed
Calibre P888+ Graphics Card
with Innovative GDP2 Daughter Card. Using NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT graphics processing unit (GPU) ,
the Calibre P888+ Graphics Card is equipped with
creative second generation GDP2 daughter card, providing
accurate working condition
surveillance
for high-end gamers.
Based on NVIDIA’s next
generation GeForce 8800 GT architectures, the Calibre P888+
Graphics 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 P888+ Graphics
Card is equipped with 65nm GeForce 8800 GT GPU, compared with NVIDIA reference GeForce 8800 GT graphic card, the
Calibre P888+ Graphics Card possesses higher core speed at 675MHz and higher memory
speed at 2000MHz. So combining with 1728MHz
112 stream processors which
take care of shader special effects,
the Calibre P888+ Graphics
Card introduces
lifelike character animation and rich, immersive gaming
environments for today's DirectX 9 and DirectX 10
demanding 3D
games, suck as BIOSHOCK,
Crysis and so on.
Ahead
for next generation data
transportation standard,
the
Calibre P888+ graphic card is one of
the
world's first PCI Express 2.0 graphic cards, which can maximize
the usage of 5GT/s bandwidth (twice
that of first generation PCI Express) provided by PCI Express
2.0, to be full ready for future games and applications which have strict
requirements on bandwidth. At the same time, the Calibre P888+ Graphics Card is also compatible with with present PCI Express
1.1 motherboards with widest scope of support.
The Calibre P888+ Graphics Card uses NVIDIA newest developed
PureVideo HD VP2 technology and has the
new generation video-processing engine integrated,
the Calibre P888+ Graphics Card
also supports for HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection),
can fully take advantage
of
NVIDIA PureVideo HD VP2 technology to
offload most of Blu-ray
and HD DVD H.264 video decoding from CPU, freeing
the CPU for other tasks and significantly reducing power consumption,
heat and noise,
providing the highest quality High-Definition video for the ultimate
home theater experience.
With innovative mind
in design,
SPARKLE endows the Calibre P888+ Graphics Card with
second generation of
Graphics Display Port (GDP)
daughter card- GDP2. With second generation of GDP, this
daughter card use LCD with back light to
show real-time GPU
temperature, GPU working voltage, fan speed and Calibre Logo. User can manually switch
the
surveillance case with corresponding graphic
logo to represent the case to avoid damage caused by GPU overheating or lower fan speed. Compared
with SPARKLE's first generation GDP daughter card, GDP2
daughter card is added with the
surveillances for GPU working voltage and fan speed, it's also
added with smart surveillance functions.
With a more beautiful LCD, user can be clear at a glance to know
the working condition of the graphic card.
“The
Calibre P888+ Graphics Card is SPARKLE 's latest
masterpiece for high-end DX10 games. Its out of box overclocked speed
endues powerful 3D rendering
capability in latest DX10 games, such as Crysis, Gear of War,
Company Of heroes etc, so high-end DX10 gamers can enjoy fluent
DX10 gaming experience on this card."Said
Connie Chen, sales manager of SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd. ”
"With customer's need in
mind, SPARKLE evolves second generate of Graphics Display
Port (GDP)
daughter card. now users can surely enjoy the convenient
surveillance brought by GDP2 daughter card."
