New graphics cards have been announced by Sparkle, with the arrival of the A310 Eco and A380 Genie. These cards are equipped with small GPUs for entry-level machines, or simply if you want to enjoy AV1 at a lower cost!
New cards announced by Sparkle!
First up is Intel’s little A310, now available in an Eco version. This is a small board equipped with a small turbine heatsink. The board also features a single slot format and a low-profile PCB. The A310 is a very small board, with just 768 shaders. The memory is based on 4 GB GDDR6 on a 64-bit memory bus, with a bandwidth of 124 GB/s. Last but not least, this is a very economical board, with a TDP of just 30W. The card also supports AV1 encoding/decoding.
As for the A380 Genie, once again we’re dealing with entry-level products. However, the board is a little more massive and will occupy two slots in a case. However, the PCB remains space-saving, with a contained height and length. The heatsink relies on two small axial fans blowing on a machined aluminum block. Once again, we’re not dealing with a violent GPU, since the DG2-128 has just 1024 shaders and 6 GB of memory on a 96-bit bus. Once again, we’re not dealing with a heat monster, with a TDP of just 75W.
