Graphics Card Maker, Sparkle, Joins Team Blue: First Custom Intel Arc A750 & A380 Designs Revealed

Sparkle has returned from the dead and joined team blue in offering its first custom Intel Arc A750 & Arc A380 graphics cards.

Graphics card maker, Sparkle, used to be one of the many NVIDIA partners back in the day. They used to offer both reference and custom models and the last GPU that they released was actually back in the GeForce 600 series so it's easy to tell why most of you won't remember this brand. We on the other hand have reviewed their products back in the early 2010s when they were still active. Now it looks like the company has returned and become an Intel-exclusive AIB partner.

The Taiwanese manufacturer has updated its product page with its first graphics cards in years & all of which are based on the Intel Arc Alchemist family. The company has listed the Sparkle Intel Arc A750 Titan OC Edition, Arc A750 ORC OC Edition, and the Arc A380 ELF graphics card. All three cards are based on very different designs.

The flagship Sparkle Titan OC edition makes use of a triple-fan and dual-slot cooling while the ORC OC edition makes use of a dual-slot and dual-fan design. All cards are based on the Sparkle TORN cooling which features customized Axial fans with 0dB Fan mode and Thermal Sync technology that offers a LED light bar on the sides of the card that changes color based on the temperature of the GPU. Both cards feature an OC design and are powered by dual 8-pin connectors.

Both cards come with factory overclocks out of the box as stated above with the Sparkle Intel Arc A750 Titan OC clocking up to 2300 MHz and the Orc OC clocking up to 2200 MHz.

The entry-level Intel Arc A380 ELF from Sparkle comes with a single-fan and dual-slot design in a very compact shape and doesn't feature any external power input to boot. All cards make use of triple DisplayPort and a single HDMI port. This is really a surprise to see the return of Sparkle as an Intel-exclusive AIB partner. The company has so far bagged ASRock, Acer, Gunnir, & MSI (OEM Only) with Sparkle being the latest addition to its AIB partner list.
