VGA card manufacturer and supplier, today proudly announced
its new high-end graphics cards - SPARKLE GeForce GTX
260 and GeForce GTX 280 Graphics Cards —
which provides much more gaming experiences and performance
beyond anything that’s ever been possible to gaming
enthusiasts.
Second-Generation Unified Shader and Compute Architecture
The SPARKLE
GeForce GTX 260 and GeForce GTX 280 Graphics Cards are the first to
implement NVIDIA's second-generation unified shader and compute
architecture. The SPARKLE GeForce GTX 260 and GeForce GTX 280 Graphics Cards
include sigificantly enhanced features and deliver, on average, 1.5x the
performance of GeForce 8 or GeForce 9 series GPUs.The SPARKLE GeForce GTX 260 and GeForce GTX
280 Graphics Cards adopt Lumenex Engine, providing full 128-bit floating
point precision through the entire rendering pipeline, achieving 128-bit
floating point high dynamic-range (HDR) lighting with antialiasing.
Incomparable
Graphical
Immersion
With the release of SPARKLE GeForce GTX 260 and
GeForce GTX 280 Graphics Cards, now high-end gamers can enjoy
incomparable graphical immersion in latest DX10 games, such
as Gears of War, Bioshock, Crysis and so on. SPARKLE GeForce
GTX 280 Graphics Cards can provide unparalleled 3D
power with 602MHz core speed, 240 1296MHz stream processors
and 512-bit 2214MHz 1GB GDDR3 video memory.
SPARKLE GeForce
GTX 260 brings doughty gaming performance to high-end gamers
with 576MHz core speed, 192 1242MHz stream processors
and 448-bit 1998MHz 896MB GDDR3 video memory. With the
powerful performance of theSPARKLE
GeForce GTX 260 and GeForce GTX 280 Graphics Cards, now DX10
gamers will be able to enjoy exhilarating action-orientated
gaming experiences within a highly detailed, open environment.
CUDA support
The SPARKLE GeForce GTX 260 and GeForce GTX
280 Graphics Cards support CUDA(Compute Unified Device Architecture)
technology from NVIDIA. With CUDA technology and the new CUDA runtime for
Windows Vista, intensive computational tasks can be offloaded from the
CPU to the GPU. The SPARKLE GeForce GTX 260 and GeForce GTX 280 Graphics
Cards accelerate numerous rich-media and computationally-intensive
applications such as video and audio transcoding, or running distributed
computing applications like Folding@home in the background while surfing the
web.
3-Way SLI Support
The SPARKLE GeForce GTX 260 and GeForce GTX
280 Graphics Cards support NVIDIA 3-way SLI technology, which provides
even higher frame rates and permits higher quality settings for the ultimate
experience in PC gaming when connected to a high-end, high-resolution
monitor.
PhysX
Support
With powerful NVIDIA
PhysX engine which enables real-time physics in leading edge PC and games
and tremendous parallel processing capability of GPUs, the
SPARKLE GeForce GTX 260 and GeForce GTX
280 Graphics Cards will provide an exponential increase in physics
processing power and will take gaming to a new level delivering rich,
immersive physical gaming environments.
Prepared for HD era
Helped with
NVIDIA
second generation PureVideo HD technology,
the
SPARKLE GeForce GTX 260 and
GeForce GTX 280 Graphics Cards can fully offload most of Blu-ray and HD DVD
H.264 video decoding from CPU, its video processing unit can free 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.
NVIDIA
Hybrid Power technology
The
SPARKLE GeForce GTX 260 and
GeForce GTX 280 Graphics Cards
are a silent powerhouse
that utilizes Hybrid Power technology to enable users to switch their
graphics card to their motherboard GeForce GPU when surfing the Web, working
or running less graphically intense applications.
"Using
NVIDIA latest rendering architecture, the The
SPARKLE GeForce
GTX 260 and GeForce GTX 280 Graphics Cards
make games come alive with immersive graphics that feel like
the real thing."
Said Connie Chen, sales manager
of SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd. "They offer
a 1.5x performance boost over previous generations of graphics
cards and bring ultimate gaming experiences to our enthusiast
customers."
