After a hiatus from the graphics card market, Sparkle, a Taiwanese device manufacturer and former AIB partner of Nvidia, has made a comeback with its latest line of Intel Arc series graphics cards. The new lineup includes the A750 Titan, A750 Orc, and A380 Elf, which boast triple, dual, and single fan cooler designs respectively.
During the 2000s, Sparkle was a prominent AIB partner of Nvidia and was responsible for developing numerous generations of their graphics cards, including the 7900 series and the GTX 700 series in 2013. While the exact reason behind the company’s return to the graphics card market is unknown, the emergence of additional competition among AIB partners is undoubtedly a positive development.
At present, Sparkle has released only three graphics cards that center on Intel’s Arc A380 and A750 GPUs. The Arc A380 iteration, which the company has dubbed ELF, showcases a slim single-fan cooling solution with a conventional two-slot thickness. The card’s shroud is coated in a striking light blue hue and accented with grooves that encircle each side of the fan. The ELF model features three DP 2.0 connections and a single HDMI 2.0 connection.
Sparkle’s A750 aftermarket graphics cards are available in two variations: the Orc and the Titan, which feature dual-fan and triple-fan configurations, respectively. These cards utilize the company’s proprietary ThermalSync cooling system, complete with a patented heatsink design and an additional thermal sensor that works in conjunction with the GPU’s RGB lighting system to monitor temperature levels. Both the Orc and Titan models also boast Sparkle’s Torn Cooling solution, which includes 0-db AXL fans with stripped structures and polished surfaces to provide improved cooling performance.Sparkle’s A750 aftermarket graphics cards are available in two variations: the Orc and the Titan, which feature dual-fan and triple-fan configurations, respectively.

The only difference between the Orc and Titan variants is their cooling solutions: the Orc features a dual-fan setup, while the Titan boasts a triple-fan configuration. Both cards share the same shroud design as the Arc A380 and maintain a two-slot thickness. The Titan, which incorporates a triple-fan setup, measures 305.5mm in length, while the Orc, equipped with dual fans, measures 222mm in length.
