In-house PCB design

In order to try and somewhat ruin the red team's launch day, if that's even possible, Sparkle has decided to launch a new card based on Nvidia's Geforce 9800 GTX+ GPU. This time Sparkle has completely redesigned the PCB and placed a native HDMI port on to the backplate.

The new Sparkle 9800GTX+ card, known as the SF-PX98GTX+512D3-NHM will work at 738MHz for the GPU, comes with 512MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 2,200MHz and paired up with the 256-bit memory interface. The card features 128 Stream processors with a shader clock set at 1,836MHz. The interesting part is the backplate which features native HDMI, VGA D-sub and a DVI connector.

The card is cooled by the Sparkle designed cooler which uses a single centered placed fan to cool a heatsink made of an aluminum and copper material combination. The card looks good, at least if you are shopping for Nvidia 9800GTX+ based card, as non-reference designs are usually better than the reference ones. (You don't say? sub.ed.)
