Sparkle GTX560 2GB OC Edition Review

The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 25c – a comfortable environment for the majority of people reading this.

Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 30 minutes. Load measurements were acquired by playing Crysis Warhead for 30 minutes and measuring the peak temperature. We also have included Furmark results, recording maximum temperatures throughout a 30 minute stress test. All fan settings were left on automatic.

When gaming, the card peaks around 67c, which is a good result for a single fan cooler. When loaded with Furmark, this increases by another 8c to 75c.

  1. nice card, but why not go for a ti instread? seems a better deal to me.

  2. I already have this card and the review is fair, it is a bit loud due to the single, small fan, but performance is great. THey should have made a dual fan version

  3. Sparkle? didnt even know they were still going. they have a weak presense in UK. not the first company I would think of for a purchase.

    looks like a decent card, but the cooler is quite poor considering the competition. You were too nice in the review

  4. I think this card is pointless with new AMD cards launching soon and all that.
