Taiwanese graphics card manufacturer, Sparkle, used to be an NVIDIA partner many years back, and they used to sell both reference and custom graphics cards.
It has been years since Sparkle has manufactured graphics cards of any kind, as the last card they released was in the GeForce 600 series. But it looks like the graphics card maker is back from the dead to offer new custom Intel GPUs.
Sparkle has announced its first graphics card in years, based on Intel’s Arc Alchemist family. Three custom graphics cards have been listed as of now, which are Sparkle Intel Arc A750 Titan OC Edition, Arc A750 ORC OC Edition and the Arc A380 ELF graphics cards.
Each of these custom cards has different designs. The flagship A750 Titan OC Edition features a triple-fan and dual-slot cooling, and the A750 ORC OC Edition features dual-fan and dual-slot cooling.
Both cards are powered by 8-pin connectors with an OC design. Both of these cards will come with factory overclocks with Titan OC clocking up to 2300 MHz while the ORC OC clocking up to 220 MHz. Both of these cards are based on Intel Arc A750 GPU which is based on ACM-G10 GPU with 28 Xe-Cores, with both offering 8GB of GDDR6 memory.
On the other hand, the Sparkle Intel Arc A380 ELF is an entry-level card and it’ll not come with a factory overclock out the box. The card will come with a single-fan and dual-slot design.
Sparkle has officially become an Intel-exclusive AIC partner, and it joins ASRock, Acer, Gunnir, & MSI (OEM Only) in doing so.
