Sparkle Introduces Arc A770 Titan OC Edition GPU

[AleksandarK]

Sparkle has announced the Titan OC graphics card, becoming the company's flagship Intel Arc A770 16 GB graphics card. It stands out with its 16 GB onboard memory, factory-overclocked GPU and memory, and an advanced cooling system for additional overclocking potential. After Sparkle's re-entry into the graphics card market, it unveiled a series of Intel Arc-based products. The Arc A770 Titan, in particular, showcases the company's technological advancements. The Sparkle Intel Arc A770 Titan OC Edition features Intel's ACM-G10 GPU with a base clock of 2300 MHz, which is a significant increase from Intel's stock 2100 MHz, and boasts a 16 GB memory with a 17.5 GT/s data transfer rate.

The card has two eight-pin auxiliary PCIe power connectors, yielding a 650-watt PSU requirement, and an expansive triple-fan cooling system for optimal performance even under heavy loads. A unique feature is the ThermalSync thermal sensor atop the cooler, which adjusts the LED light bar's color based on temperature, making it easier for users to monitor. When Intel discontinued its Limited Edition Arc A770 16 GB graphics card, there was a gap in the market for a high-performance graphics card to rival offerings from ASRock and Acer. Sparkle hasn't revealed the pricing for its Intel Arc A770 Titan OC Edition GPU.

Finally, some proper use for RGB without the need for software control! It's a shame I'm not the target audience for this card.

Curious about Sparkle's PCBs and cooler construction. Haven't seen teardowns yet. If it cools around as well as ASRock's PG cards that's great.

Man a 3rd player and bringing some of these old names back or at the least extending there reach once again. What a crazy time. Good for them.

It’s nice to see companies putting up more arc, in the beginning it looked like a complete failure of a product

Working on a review of the A750 Titan, should be up this week

It will be interesting when there will be a waterblock for that card. Also about the 7th seria of AMD. Till that i will keep my eye on a AMD RX6950XT.

The air coolers are much too thick for my new build. And i do not see a reason to buy that much more expensive AMD RX7900XT/XTX and Nvidia 408x/409x models. I need a carcd to show the desktop. In maximum to rune once a month a game.

While I'm glad to see more, isnt this like a year late to the party?

I hope battlemage is more timely, Alchemist is an interesting curiosity but I'm ready for genuine competition.

I dont understand why the coolers are so big, the stock A770 was a simple dual slot cooler and was perfectly fine, hotspot of 78c is great. A770 just doesnt need these big triple slot coolers.

 

[gurusmi]

Well. I see already 4 Slot coolers at NVidia. My AMD RX5700XT still has a 2 Slot cooler. I guess that they want to make people think that bigger coolers means more power.

I don't get it. This card is the equivalent of a... 2080Ti, close to an RTX3070. What does it bring on the table that isn't currently available already? Sure, it's nice to have 16Gb of RAM, but you will never be able to play any upcoming games in 1440p, barely even in HD actually, so what's the point?

The 4070Ti should have 16Gb, and this one should have 8 or 12 to lower its cost. The graphic card market is really off lately.

I own an A770 BiFrost Acer and actually in newer games it performs really great at 1080p/1440p/4k, even with RayTracing enabled. Also with DXVK I get insane results in older DirectX version games. What does it bring on the table? An affordable 16GB VRAM GPU, even best for buck I would say, 16GB of which are pretty much almost entirely used by newer titles.

If you were up to speed on the Intel cards, you would know that there is an 8gb a770. The Asrock version of the 16gb A770 can be had for $299 right now at Newegg. The a750 is $200.

I replaced my RTX 3060 (12gb) with the a770 LE.

I get high refresh 1440p gaming (4k in Diablo 4), better blender performance, very good results with Stable Diffusion, and AV1 encoding - that 16gb matters.

Battlemage is a year out, and having the sword of Damocles hanging over the driver team helps them focus them on getting better performance.

Nvidia has dumped on gamers with the 40 series, and AMD isn't doing much better - either of which is surprising when you consider how many last generation cards they are still sitting on.

 

[Dahita]

Up to speed? they came out with 8Gb of Ram, don't be so presumptuous. There's a reason why Intel dropped the 16Gb version, not sure I need to go over them with you since you're up to speed

I understand that it makes sense for a gamer with a $299 budget, but nothing more. The 4060TI 16Gb lesson applies here too. I bet you this one won't be below $400, and that's where I'm having a hard time believing that this is nothing more than a marketing trick. This card is still slower than a 3060 Ti, even with newer drivers. I'm not trying to downplay it either, the more competition the better, but the added value here seems missing to me.

While I generally agree regarding the vram question, pondering on the toilet, I think Intel pursued a limited edition FE revision of this card and then opened the model up to AIBs afterwards? Don’t know for sure but that’s what the PRs by intel and the subsequent AIB releases might imply

Fixed, thanks!

Sparkle! 2004 just called and wanted it brand back! Wow a blast from the past!

No release date?

No release date?

Been out in US stores, at least on Newegg USA for about a month or so
