Taipei, Taiwan – June 4 , 2007 - SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd., the professional VGA card manufacturer and supplier, today announces Calibre P850 graphic card . Powered by NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT graphics processing unit (GPU), the Calibre P850 graphic card brings excellent DirectX 10 gaming performance to entry level users.
Based on NVIDIA’s next generation G86 architecture, the Calibre P850 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.
The Calibre P850 graphic card redefines entry level PCs gaming experience. With NVIDIA revolutionary unified architecture and full support for Microsoft DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 games, the Calibre P850 graphic card delivers unprecedented performance, extraordinarily detailed environments, and film quality game effects. The Calibre P850 graphic card delivers unparalleled levels of graphics realism with out of box overclocked speed of 700MHz core speed,1500MHz memory speed and 1500MHz shader clock, and its high speed 256MB GDDR3 video memory.
The Calibre P850 graphic card features PureVideo HD2 technology which leverages the revolutionary second-generation video-processing engine in the GeForce 8500 GPU to deliver the highest-quality playback of HD DVD and Blu-ray movies on users' PCs. The new programmable video processing engine takes on all of the high definition H.264 HD video decoding, freeing the CPU to perform other tasks and significantly reducing power consumption, heat, and noise. The new state-of-the-art Calibre P850 graphic card will enable consumers to enjoy Ultra HD movies on entry level PCs.
In order to bring additional value for end users, the Calibre P850 graphic card is equipped with a specially designed daughter card, which can show real-time GPU temperature or real-time PCB temperature on Graphics Display Port (GDP) with 3bit digital tube display. User can manually switch between real-time GPU temperature shown and real-time GPU temperature shown. User can also manually set the temperature unit (â„/â„). Powered by this tiny and helpful tool, user can easily master the working temperature of his Calibre P850 graphic card. The attached sub card reflects SPARKLE's customer-oriented concept. Beside this innovative daughter card, the Calibre P850 graphic card uses SPARKLE VGA Rectifier Technology (VRT) Technology patented in Taiwan, which set a iron bar on top side of the graphic card to enhances PCB and VGA card Sharper Imaging: Improves and sharpens images.
“The Calibre P850 graphic card brings high-resolution gaming, stunning Microsoft Windows Vista graphics, and stellar HD DVD and Blu-ray video playback to entry level graphic cards users." Said Kevin Wang, sales director of SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd. "With out of box overclocked speed, users can enjoy the gorgeous DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 gaming experience without worrying about the performance. Furthermore, the Calibre P850 graphic card enhances end users' usage experience with the temperature shown daughter card and PCB stability secured iron bar. The Calibre P850 graphic card is the achievement combined with NVIDIA advanced DirectX 10 GPU technology and SPARKLE elaborate design and manufacture."
