(Auszug aus der Pressemitteilung)

Taipei, Taiwan – Sep 19, 2008 – SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd., the professional VGA card manufacturer and supplier, today proudly announced getting VRT patents (patent number: M246940 and M333746) and shipping patented VGA Rectifier Technology (VRT) with Calibre graphics cards. VGA Rectifier Technology (VRT) is a innovative invention from genius R&D team in SPARKLE, which is beyond the the contrivance of

• Innovative VRT
  Graphics cards users are constantly looking for technologies and tools to improve the 3D
  performance and operating stability. Taking the users‘ need into account, and with ingenious R&D
  team, SPARKLE successfully brought VGA Rectifier Technology (VRT) to eliminates graphics cards‘
  PCB distortion and ensure the sharp image and stable signals. The VRT is suitable to install on the top edges of printed circuits, such as mother boards, graphics cards and sound cards, to rectify the
  distortion, and restore to the original shapes. Also, the installed VRT can also prevent the micro bend
  or distortion caused by external factors involved.

• Second Generation VRT with Tremendous Improvement
  SPARKLE firstly invented the VGA Rectifier Technology (VRT) in 2003, and SPARKLE GeForce
  FX5900 was the first graphics card product in the world to use VGA Rectifier Technology (VRT). It
  improved the usage length and VGA signal stability at same time. Though other manufacturers had
  introduced similar products, but as the inventor of VRT, SPARKLE constantly improve this technology,
  and got two patents in Taiwan (patent number: M246940 and M333746), and apply for patent in
  mainland CHINA. SPARKLE introduces second generation of VRT for Calibre series graphic cards
  with improved design. Now with more solid materials, Second Generation VRT can provide more
  tighten and closer reinforcement for graphics cards. Further more, the Second Generation VRT sets up
  the appropriate bending place to avoid conflict with the SLI connectors, to eliminate the incompatible
  problem with graphic cards which have SLI connectors or protrusions of the expansion socket circuit
  boards

• Lead-free and Environmentally Friendly Design
  SPARKLE VRT product uses environmentally friendly design and materials, all materials and
  accessories have passed stringent tests and identification to ensure compliance with EU
  environmental requirements for lead-free RoHS, securing Calibre graphics user’s health.

• Pre-Installation on Specified Calibre Graphics Cards
  SPARKLE VRT is shipped with specified Calibre graphics cards. It has been pre-installed on these
  graphics cards to avoid customers‘ labor. Now Calibre P850, P850+, P850LV,P860,P888+,P980,
  P950,P960,P960 GBOX,P960 Green Power,P960G and P980 graphics cards are VRT ready!
