Today is the official launch day of NVIDIA's GeForce 8800 Ultra graphics card and Sparkle is one of the first companies revealing final silicon. It comes in two flavors, an 'ordinary' GeForce 8800 Ultra and a beefed up version named Calibre P880 ULTRA. While the first one features 612MHz/2160MHz core and memory clock respectively, the thermoelectric cooled (TEC) P880 got super fast 650MHz/2250MHz instead. The prices of these cards are unannounced yet.GeForce 8800 ULTRA Series - SF-PX88ULTRA768D3-HP

Taipei, Taiwan - May 2, 2007 - SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd., the professional VGA card manufacturer and supplier, today proudly unveiled the SPARKLE GeForce 8800 ULTRA Graphic Card. Incorporating the newest NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra graphic processor, SPARKLE GeForce 8800 ULTRA graphic card brings incredible core and memory clock speed to drive the latest PC games.

Based on NVIDIA's next generation G80 architecture, the SPARKLE GeForce 8800 ULTRA 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.

With miraculous high core and memory speed, the SPARKLE GeForce 8800 ULTRA is the most advanced graphic card ever built. In order to make users game visions a reality, the SPARKLE GeForce 8800 ULTRA graphic card runs at an untouchable core speed of 612MHz and 2160MHz memory clock with 768MB GDDR3 memory. The SPARKLE GeForce 8800 ULTRA graphics card's all-new Microsoft DirectX 10 Shader Model 4.0 engine features 128 stream processors with incredible 1500MHz shader clock to provides film-quality visual effects, such as high dynamic range (HDR) lighting, at real-time frame rates.

The SPARKLE GeForce 8800 ULTRA graphic card also supports for HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) and NVIDIA PureVideo HD technology, providing the highest quality High-Definition video for HD video enthusiasts. The SPARKLE GeForce 8800 ULTRA graphic card already has the "Certified for Windows Vista" logo, which means it passed rigorous tests made by WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) for Windows Vista compliance.

"DirectX 10 and Shader Model 4.0 make a huge difference in the way a game will look, and will ultimately bring a whole new level of realism and polish to several magnum opuses, such as Crysis and so on." Said Kevin Wang, sales director of SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd. " Embracing highest speed ever achieve on graphic cards, the SPARKLE GeForce 8800 ULTRA graphic card surely deliver ultra-realistic DirectX 10 gaming experiences and unparalleled image quality. The SPARKLE GeForce 8800 ULTRA graphic card is the best choice for the absolute highest frame rates and 3D rendering quality demand, allowing for super high-quality settings in even the most demanding games."
