Sparkle: low-end GeFors with 1GB of memory
We come to another chapter of folly.
In the official press material, Sparkle stun unsuspecting users less familiar with computer technology with words such as DirectX 10 experience, maximum graphics settings and high screen resolution. The fact is that this all sounds very good, but it is also a fact that a GeForce 8500 GT or 8600 GT, even with 1 GB of memory, is not enough to run "machine-eating" games featuring the most modern technologies, especially if they are only DDR2. They certainly know this very well at Sparkle, but we can be sure that despite this there will be a market for the cards, and they will be bought in good numbers, but why is another question.
