shining The company was a fairly well-known maker of graphics cards in the decade, but decided to exit the market in the mid-2010s as competition intensified and embedded products proved more profitable. bottom. This year the company decided to return to the graphics card game with a lineup of Intel Arc Alchemist-based graphics cards called Elf, Orc and Titan. They are all on display at Computex and are contenders to join our list of the best graphics cards.

Sparkle’s initial lineup of graphics cards is pretty straightforward, consisting of five models and concepts.

• dual slot dual fan Ark A750 Oak Card with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory onboard and two 8-pin auxiliary PCIe power connectors.
• Huge Ark A750 Titan Equipped with a triple-fan cooling system and two 8-pin auxiliary PCIe power connectors for maximum overclocking potential.
• range top Ark A770 Titan It comes with 16 GB of memory and an even larger cooling system to squeeze everything out of Intel’s ACM-G11 GPU.

Sparkles Ark A750 Oak and Ark A750 Titan Graphics cards are designed for mid-range gaming systems, and while these two seem to have the same specs and similar out-of-the-box performance, the Titan is the better choice thanks to its larger cooling system. , promises slightly better overclocking potential. What’s a little surprising is that the GPU Boost clock that Sparkle lists for both cards is his 2.20 GHz, which is below his 2.40 GHz recommended by Intel itself.
