Description: Sparkle Computer Company Limited was founded in 1982. It is Taipei City, Taiwan-based company that specializes in the manufacture of GPU-based graphics controllers.

The products of Sparkle are marketed worldwide, particularly targeting PC gaming enthusiasts. Currently, it only creates graphics controllers and computer peripherals such as heat sinks and fans for graphics controllers which are based on NVIDIA.

Sparkle also prides itself for providing passive cooling solutions, as opposed to mechanical cooling solutions that require complicated refrigeration systems. By applying techniques of passive cooling to modern graphics controllers, the cost of cooling equipment for products is greatly reduced. The company provides intricately made heat sinks, or objects that suck up and disperse heat from the GPU by using thermal direct contact. Such passive cooling technique is embedded in the Sparkle GeForce 7 series graphics cards.

Another cooling solution developed by Sparkle is through heat pipes, which provide greater cooling than heat sinks making them more appropriate for more complex controllers such as the GeForce 8 series Graphics Cards. Sparkle puts high significance on cooling because higher cooling rate equates with faster performance without the hassles of instability.

At present, the GeForce 8400 series and 8500 series cards of Sparkle are the known to be the most powerful cards for the PCI interface. Due to this citation, it has become the favorite of gamers and Media Center builders without the need for an AGP or PCI Express motherboard.

With the company’s continuous participation in the VGA manufacturing industry, Sparkle has bagged several awards from several countries. In 2001, Sparkle’s GeForce2 ULTRA SP6900 won the Editor’s Choice Award from PC Magazine Australia. In the same year, PC Games Hardware Germany awarded Sparkle for its GeForce2 Ti SP6600 Ti. PC Answers United Kingdom in 2002 honored the GeForce4 MX 440 SP7100M4 with a Platinum Award. In the same year, PC Magazine Czech Republic honors the same product with an Editor’s Choice title.
