While the 40nm start to show up in the graphic card market, with ATI opening the doors wit the 4770 and nVIDIA proposing their new mobile GPU line, there is still not enough in order to create a big launch of new cards on the market. We’ll probably have to wait for September and October for those, but the partner manufacturers keep on launching new models based on existant GPUs.

Now it’s Sparkle with their GeForce GTX 275 featuring 1792MB of GDDR3 RAM. The manufacturer hasn’t changed much of anything else compareds to the reference board: the frequencies remain unchanged: 633 Mhz for the GPU and 2268Mhz for the memory.

The double amount of memory seems to have a commercial value more than anything: In fact, games that use more than 896MB of memory, which is the standard of the Geforce GTX 275, are rare on the market. The choice of enhancing the on-board graphic memory seems less appealing than enhancing frequencies, as the latter does help enhance the frames per second in all games.
