Taipei, Taiwan – October 25, 2007 - SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd., the professional VGA card anufacturer and supplier, today announced Calibre P860+ graphic card. Powered by NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS graphics processing unit (GPU) , the Calibre P860+ graphic card is equipped with innovative second generation GDP2 daughter card, providing accurate working condition surveillance for users.
Based on NVIDIA’s newest generation G84 architecture, the Calibre P860+ 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.
As Calibre series' latest mainstream product, the Calibre P860+ graphic card is provided with out of box overclocked speed. Compared with ordinary GeForce 8600 GTS graphic cards on market, the Calibre P860+ graphic card embraces 675 MHz core speed, 1512 MHz shader speed and 2000 MHz memory speed. Helped with out of box overclocked speed and 512MB 1.0ns extreme fast GDDR3 video memory, the Calibre P860+ graphic 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. Featuring state-of-the-art PureVideo HD VP2 technologies, the Calibre P860+ graphic card is integrated with dedicated video processor to offload 100% of H.264 HD video decoding from CPU. Lower CPU utilization results in reduced power consumption and less heat and noise. The Calibre P860+ graphic card will enable consumers to enjoy Ultra HD movies on mainstream PCs.
With innovative mind in design, SPARKLE endows the Calibre P860+ graphic 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. User can also manually set the warning thresholds of fan speed and GPU working temperature 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 and automatic warning functions. With a more beautiful LCD, user can be clear at a glance to know the working condition of the graphic card.
“The Calibre P860+ graphic card presents SPARKLE 's latest endeavor in DirectX 10 graphic cards manufacture. Out of box overclocked speed endues it with powerful 3D rendering capability, so it can bring astonish performance in latest games." Said Aaron Lee, marcom director 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."
