SPARKLE showcased the Arc A770 with water cooling design
In April this year, Sparkle announced its partnership with Intel Graphics, launching its first batch of the striking Alchemist series graphics cards, signifying the veteran graphics card brand’s re-entry into the consumer market. There are three models in this new series, two of which are based on Alchemist A750, with the remaining one utilizing Alchemist A380. Adopting a unified aesthetic, the cards sport a color scheme of blue and black, presenting a decidedly boxy appearance.
According to Wccftech, at Computex 2023, Sparkle not only showcased the previously released trio of graphics cards but also unveiled several novel products.
In the lower-end market, Sparkle led with two single-slot, half-height graphics cards, featuring Alchemist A380 and Alchemist A310 respectively. They boast a simplistic single-fan cooling design, without the need for external power interfaces, and each is equipped with four mini DP ports. This particular design seems well-suited to commercial PCs, or those users necessitating multi-screen output from compact PCs.
Besides the previously launched Intel Arc A380 ELF, Sparkle now offers a similarly designed Intel Arc A310 ELF, both featuring compact single-fan Mini-ITX designs, dual-slot thickness, and eliminating the need for an external power supply.
Sparkle is not confined solely to entry-level or lower-end products, as demonstrated by its highest-end solution showcased at the event – the Alchemist A770 with a water-cooling design. Its hallmark is a custom PCB design and Bitspower water block, with the graphics card equipped with dual 8Pin external power interfaces. Given the performance level of the Alchemist A770, there’s no pressing need for such a design, and it’s conceivable that few gamers would be willing to foot the bill for such a feature, rendering it more of a technical exhibition.
