Sparkle puts new beefy cooler on GeForce 8800 GT cards

Wednesday, January 30, 2008

Sparkle has now pulled three new rabbits of the G92 breed out if its manufacturing facilities. The ravaging rabbits are actually GeForce 8800 GT cards with 256, 512MB and 1GB of memory, all at stock clocks but with a small twist.

With their GPU, shader and memory clocks set to 600 MHz, 1500 MHz and 1800 (1400 for the 256 MB version) MHz respectively Sparkle's products don't impress at all but what may lead you to search for one and eventually make a purchase is the cooling system.

The dual-slot, single fan beastie on the cards comes with the a few classic copper heatpipes and are said to lower the temperatures of the card's GPU by up to 8 degrees Celsius. Plus, it should be quieter too. Unfortunately though, no price tags for the new cards have been announced so we have to wait for them to hit the stores.
