SPARKLE Launches 1GB 8500GT and 8600GT
SPARKLE today announced SPARKLE GeForce 8500GT 1GB and GeForce 8600GT 1GB Graphics Cards for mainstream gamers. An incredible 1GB onboard video memory makes consumers' HD gaming experiences smoother than ever.
Based on NVIDIA's award winning GeForce 8500 GT and GeForce 8600 GT rendering architecture, SPARKLE GeForce 8500 GT 1GB and GeForce 8600 GT 1GB Graphics Cards adopt innovative unified architecture, dynamically allocates processing power to geometry, vertex, physics, or pixel shading operations, delivering up to 2x the gaming performance of prior generation GPUs. Built upon technologies such as NVIDIA Lumenex Engine, providing support for DirectX 10 Shader Model 4.0, NVIDIA Quantum Effects technology for physics computation and GigaThread Technology for extreme processing efficiency in advanced, next generation shader programs.
SPARKLE GeForce 8500 GT 1GB and GeForce 8600 GT 1GB Graphics Cards use most advanced DirectX 10 3D and shader Model 4.0 technology, cooperating with powerful new, extremely efficient, unified architecture in delivering unbelievable 3D power to drive latest DirectX 10 games, such as Crysis, to deliver ultra realistic gaming experience for mainstream gamers. Now amazing 1024MB onboard 1GB DDR2 video memory makes SPARKLE GeForce 8500 GT 1GB and GeForce 8600 GT 1GB Graphics Cards even more fast in rendering flowery DirectX 10 gaming scenes, efficiently satisfy the greedy appetite of DirectX 10 games on video memory.
Besides incomparable 1GB video memory onboard, SPARKLE GeForce 8500 GT 1GB and GeForce 8600 GT 1GB Graphics Cards use Revolutionary NVIDIA PureVideo HD VP2 video processing engine and video processing unit onboard for ultimate quality playback of HD DVD, Blu-ray and HD movie downloads, SPARKLE GeForce 8500 GT 1GB and GeForce 8600 GT 1GB Graphics Cards take card of 100% H.264 HD video decoding tasks, freeing the CPU for other tasks and significantly reducing power consumption, heat and noise.
"With DX10 games rapidly ramping up, ordinary GeForce 8500 GT and GeForce 8600 GT graphics cards with 256MB video memory can suffer from bottlenecks due to slow speed and insufficient capacity, so memory size is very important." said Kevin Wang, sales director of SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd. "Now with SPARKLE GeForce 8500 GT 1GB and GeForce 8600 GT 1GB Graphics Cards, mainstream gamers can get great gaming benefit from high speed and high capacity 1GB video memory, SPARKLE GeForce 8500 GT 1GB and GeForce 8600 GT 1GB Graphics Cards will reach the ultimate performance in latest DirectX 10 games, and users can enjoy no lag and no stuttering gaming experience even at very high resolutions and maximum quality settings."

I feel sorry for those morons who buy a card based on how much memory is on it...
MAYBE, putting a gig on an 8600GTS, but not a crappy GT, would make more sense...
trog
I tried the 640 and it didn't speed it up:shadedshu
Anyone who tries to game on an 85/8600, is in for depression and suicide.
(Yeah, I know with the price/performance it still wouldn't make sense vs a stronger card, but suspend reality for awhile and pretend that someone really wants 4 passive 8600GT's with 1GB :D).
Honestly... :D
Yup, marketing at it's best!!!
I remember a couple of years ago when a friend of mine had a 9200 with 256MB ("special" edition) and he insisted it was better that my 9600 with "just 128MB" :laugh:
So yeah, the saddest part is that these things actually sell... :(
can bet its 1 gb of the lames memory ever ....
