Taipei, Taiwan –December 21, 2006- SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd., a professional VGA card manufacturer and supplier, today released new silent running firepower by announcing SPARKLE GeForce 7900 GS  COOL-PIPE Graphic Card. This new graphic card from SPARKLE not only provides higher performance to DirectX 9 pc games, but also brings zero working noise.

   Based on NVIDIA’s award-winning GeForce 7 GPU architecture, SPARKLE GeForce 7900 GS  COOL-PIPE Graphic Card is designed for extreme HD gaming and users can get unparalleled image quality in latest DirectX 9 pc games. 20 Pixels rendering pipelines,450MHz core speed, 256-bit memory interface and unbelievable fast 1320MHz 256MB/512MB GDDR3 memory enable blazing graphics performance with maximum quality. Also helped with advanced NVIDIA® PureVideo™ technology, SPARKLE GeForce 7900 GS COOL-PIPE Graphic Card delivers smooth, high-definition video playback and crisp HD picture quality.

  Besides super DX9 gaming power, SPARKLE GeForce 7900 GS  COOL-PIPE Graphic Card is equipped with heatpipe-based passive cooling system rather than the conventional HSF. This noiseless passive cooling solution features higher throughput thanks to high efficiency heatpipe optimized for mass heat volatilization.  It has high performance thermal compound ensures optimal thermal dissipation even after years of use.

   “For some years now, if you wanted high-end graphics performance you usually had to put up with a whiney GPU cooler, or add your own water cooling to reduce noise levels. Passive cooling and power 3D acceleration haven't gone together until pc gamers get this incredible silent running SPARKLE GeForce 7900 GS COOL-PIPE Graphic Card.” said Kevin Wang, sales director of SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd. " SPARKLE GeForce 7900 GS COOL-PIPE Graphic Card bring unparalleled DX9 gaming power plus comfortable zero noise gaming environment.”
