It feature a number of groundbreaking technologies including 675MHz core speed and 512MB 2.2GHz GDDR3 video memory, a revolutionary new unified shader architecture comprised of up to 128-parallel, 1688MHz stream processors that deliver amazing floating point processing power for unmatched gaming performance. Now the SPARKLE GeForce 9800 GTX Graphics Card can deliver the most compelling DirectX 10 visual experience the world has ever seen. Next-generation DirectX 10 titles coming out in 2008 will take full advantage of the SPARKLE GeForce 9800 GTX Graphics Card, including Alone In Dark, Prey2, Age of Conan, Rainbow Six: Vegas2 and so on.
Helped with NVIDIA second generation PureVideo HD technology, the SPARKLE GeForce 9800 GTX Graphics Card 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.
Ahead for next generation data transportation standard, the SPARKLE GeForce 9800 GTX Graphics Card complies with PCI Express 2.0 standard, it 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 SPARKLE GeForce 9800 GTX Graphics Card is also compatible with with present PCI Express 1.1 motherboards with widest scope of support.
"The SPARKLE GeForce 9800 GTX Graphics Card truly demonstrates the stunning visuals and graphic effects made possible with the next generation of games and applications for Windows Vista and DirectX 10." Said Connie Chen, sales manager of SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd. "SPARKLE's world-class graphics cards manufacture, combined with mind-blowing games that will take advantage of the SPARKLE GeForce 9800 GTX Graphics Card's unprecedented power, will change the face of DX10 gaming on Windows Vista forever."
