SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd., the professional VGA card manufacturer and supplier, today announced SPARKLE Super Clock Technology (SCT). Through this new SCT, users will immediately get additional 3D power for their favorite games out of box. GeForce 8 Graphic cards with higher shader clock out of box will deliver more smooth DirectX10 gaming experience with same retail prices.

With an impressive lineup of R&D team, SPARKLE proudly introduced SCT which is now used in all GeForce 8 Graphic Cards. Instead of simply raising core speed and memory speed, SCT effectively exalts the stream processors' clock to extreme fast situation by using NiBiTor software to achieve lightning speed. Detail of using NiBiTor software, please refer to the article written by G.F : http://eng.mobile01.com/newsdetail.php?id=3584

Now stream processors which operate shader special effects can furnish a great number of stream processors dependent games with extraordinary 3D rendering might. By enjoying SCT out of box, our customers can feast their eyes on gorgeous DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 gaming environments without worrying about the astaticism and excess working heat brought by traditional overclocking method.

Now GeForce 8 series graphic cards can deliver ULTRA-realistic DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 gaming experiences and unparalleled image quality with SCT.Thanks to this SPARKLE exclusive technology, now we can check the performance benefit brought by overclocking GeForce 8500 GT graphic card's stream processors (shader clock) below:

From 3DMark05 test result, we can clearly see that the performance raised to 7.27% when only overclock the core speed from 600MHz to 650MHz, and if we simply use SCT to raise  the stream processors (shader clock) from 1300MHz to 1560MHz, the performance raised to 14.55%, and if we use SCT to raise both core speed and  stream processors (shader clock) , the performance rocketed to 20.81%.From 3DMark 06 test result, we can get similar conclusion. So by using SCT, we can get much more performance benefit compared with traditional core or memory overclocking.  

“The stream processors play a very important role at DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 gaming rendering, so pc gamers can take great advantage from SCT. "said Kevin Wang, sales director of SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd. "Thanks to our smart RD engineers, SPARKLE can provide much higher shader clock compared with NVIDIA reference boards in all series of  GeForce 8 Graphic Cards. Now our consumers can immediately enjoy the extra performance out of box brought by extreme fast stream processors."
