So am i suppose to buy fans separately ? :shadedshu

 

[holdengtsr1]

Gainward Phantom, anyone?

 

[Maban]

I would much rather have the Accelero Xtreme with the pretty purple fans. Sparkle's Calibre line used to look awesome. I'm not a fan of the Phantom style heatsink.

The fans are underneath the heatsink.

There's 3 fans underneath that heatsink, just like Gainward Phantom.
You can see the fan blades from the 3rd picture.

 

[de.das.dude]

[mediasorcerer]

Id have it. The cooler looks,...effective.

 

[DarkOCean]

Gainward Phantom, anyone?

my first tought when saw this.

 

[Mindweaver]

I don't get it.. If your already taking up 3 slots why not make it a 4 slot and put a kick stand on it?...lol

 

[draecko]

Phantom Rip-off, even the clocks aren't that impressive. I would sue if I were Gainward...

 

[badtaylorx]

[LAN_deRf_HA]

This is what palit gets for keeping gainward out of NA.

I'm not raising my eyebrows untill I see a pair of those hit 17,5k on 3DM11. I have a pair of MSI's running on 1100 on air just fine.

[Fairlady-z]

This is looking pretty sweet. Is this available in the US?

 

[FYFI13]

my first tought when saw this.

Same here. Pure Phantom ripoff.

 

[SIGSEGV]

the design of the sparkle's calibre card is awesome..
if only they used the arctic cooling accelero extreme like their previously nvidia's fermi released cards (non df cards) it would be great..,
maybe those fans will run more quiet and do much better thermal treatment rather than arctic cooling accelero extreme, who knows..

review please

yeah, I meant the new sparkle cards. Your 560's are very impressive as well As for my msi 670's, they are the OC power editions with the new TF4 cooler. They run faster than a gtx590 on stock voltage.
