Sparkle Calibre X680 Captain Review

F1 2011 is the newest Direct X 11 racing game from industry pioneers CodeMasters. The 2011 Formula One season is the 62nd FIA Formula One season. The original calendar consisted of twenty rounds, including the inaugural running of the Indian Grand Prix before the cancellation of the Bahrain Grand Prix. Pirelli returns to the sport as tyre supplier for all teams, taking over from Bridgestone. Red Bull Racing are the reigning Constructor’s Champions. Red Bull Racing’s Sebastian Vettel is the defending Drivers’ Champion, one of five World Champions appearing on the grid.

Good results, averaging 94 frames per second at these high settings.

  1. Wasn’t expecting this. I dont see anyone in UK stocking these however?

  2. unusual design for a high end card. never really heard of the company to be honest. far east brand?

  3. I always wondered why this design wasn’t used more often (fans under cooler). it should in theory lower noise as the main fan noise is behind a rack of fins and air will be sucked in. good idea.

  4. Are Sparkle linked to Gainward? the cooler looks very like the phantom cooler they had out a while ago. (was a good cooler, not a bad thing).

  5. very impressive card, would you guys say its better than the KFA2 3 fan cards though?

  6. Thats a good question. If you like the KFA2 white PCB and want the slightly higher clocks then they are good options. They are slightly louder and more expensive however.

  7. One of my good friends once told me that Sparkle and Gainward are a sister company. I believe him now.

  8. Thank you all for reading the review, can I clarify that Sparkle are an independent company and in no way related to Gainward.
    The use of similar coolers in pure coincidence

  9. Sparkle are an independent company and in no way related to Gainward.
