SPARKLE Announces GeForce 210 1GB Graphics Card With 128-bit Video Memory Design

[newtekie1]

What a good twist of fate.
Technically Dec 13th (Juniper's launch day) is newer than Dec 12th (GT218/216's Launch Date)
So no the "(AKA every new 5770/5760/etc.)" is just plain trolling, neither are even close to 5 months old.

Not really trolling, as it isn't blatent bashing the company, or really bashing the company at all like your comments. I messed up a minor detail, but everything else I said was accurate about Cypress, I forgot that they were not launched at the same time. My comments were to correct your horrid mis-information, as opposed to your comments which were essentially totally wrong information wise, with the sole intention of bashing nVidia and getting a rise out of people.

Isn't the GTX 260 suppose to have 192SPs at launch?
Guess which side did a ninja change in spec to actually catch up

Actually it was 192 SPs at launch, no supposed to at all. And they didn't really do a ninja change in specs to catch up, since they did it before HD4870 1GB was released...you can't catch up if you are already ahead. There isn't really anything wrong with either move, both sides constantly update and change their line-ups to remain competitive.

Actually the RV740 is also used in the HD 4750

Funny enough that this thread is suppose to be about Sparkle releasing another pointless card and turns into troll wars.
What an effective solution, counter trolling with more trolling. :shadedshu

True, but it was so obscure you can't even find it on ATi's own charts...then again so were the HD 4730 and HD 4790 which were both RV770/790 based...if that makes any sense.

And correcting blatent mis-information is hardly trolling.

Did you realized that the post that you qouted was my first post in this thread?

The 216SP is released after then HD 4870 is released
The logical reason was to counter the HD 4870 at the first place.
The HD 4870 is announce at June 25th while the GTX 260 192SP was announced at June 26th.
W1zzard did his review on the HD 4870 at June the 30th.

If you look at it from a marketting stand point, yes, but only if you look at it from a marketting stand point.

Really, it doesn't make any sense to release low to mid range DX11 cards, as they won't be able to actually run anything in DX11...

It is just like the early onset of DX10, we will and are seeing a bunch of low to mid range cards that technically support it, but will never actually be able to run it with playable framerates. IMO, that is just stupid.

Isn't the 5670 a mid range, and thats pretty cool.

The 5770 and 5750 are the mid-range/performance grade cards.
The 5670/5570 are more an entry-level gamming card.

hahahaha


i love to see fanboy trying to defend their beloved company, it's all pointless they don't ever think about us(remember they try to kill our Graphics card with newer driver that disable the FAN that nvdia have, or the grey screen problem with ati Hd 5XXX card)

and the reason why GT260 use 216 SP was to counter HD 4870, and HD 4870 counter it wih 1 GB memory. and it's common practice, they always playing catchup

so chill out people

Lol, you guys are weird. Who cares if it's a low end card and not "everyone" need DX11. If you're buying a new card, you expect it to support all the latest tech, be it high end or lowest end.
The reason why NVIDIA is still milking a slightly updated tech of the slightly updated tech of the updated tech from 3 years ago is because ppl like you buy it. If no one would touch their garbage, they wouldn't be selling it. I don't understand why you're briinging in AMD into this when (last time i checked) they do offer low end cards with all the capabilities of the latest DX11 cards. So?
Don't you want to buy a proper thing when you do buy hardware? Because if i were buying something today, i'd want a DX11 GeForce 410 or 420. Or GTS 410/420 or whatever they'll call it.

is it possible that with now a day's styled GPU's that i won't feel a big boost when the memorybus is wider than before?

I felt like going from a 9600 to 9800 ATI back in the day was like some turbo charger inside and any game was faster with that interface ( 9600 XT vs. 9800SE with 256Bit thus a good comparison for memory bandwidth as 9600Xt had high clock)

i feel like it is more centered to effects and rendering inside the gpu instead of loading permanently new textures thus texture fill rate is a bit over estimated these days

You are correct, the Core 216 was released after the HD 4870, but before the HD4870 1GB, I've editted my statement to be more accurate. ATi upped the memory to 1GB to outpace the GTX260, and nVidia upped the shader count to outpace the HD4870 1GB. A constant back and forth. The GTX260 with 192SPs was ahead or right at the same performance as the HD4870 when it launched, so as I said, you can't catch up if you are already ahead.

Isn't the 5670 a mid range, and thats pretty cool.

Good card? Yes, but completely incapable of running DX11 now or ever, despite it being a DX11 card. Which is why I said it makes no sense to release DX11 mid-range cards simply to be releasing DX11 cards, the current cards actually fit the mid-range market just fine, they just don't support DX11, which doesn't matter because cards of that caliber will never run DX11 smothly anyway.

128 bit memory design?

Well its only usefull in overclocking a GT210.
