Benchmark Testing and Analysis:
In order to present the power of the Sparkle GTS250 various tests and games will be run using purpose built software programs that will provide benchmark data for comparisons to other graphics cards. Each test will display the card’s abilities to perform in a given environment, performing graphics intensive tasks. The test setup is considered a mid-range collection of components designed for an affordable HTPC or a media computer. The main goal is to test this low profile card’s ability to deliver performance despite the small form factor of the card.
Our Test Setup
- GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-US2H AMD 780G Motherboard
- AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600 Brisbane 2.9GHz AM2 65W Dual-Core Processor

3DMark Vantage is a battery of 3D benchmarks designed to test the DirectX10 performance to score the performance of a system for comparison to an online database of other submitted systems. 3DMark vantage is used throughout the PC industry; by enthusiasts, experts, and reviewers to effectively compare the performance of CPU, GPU, and system as a whole. The Sparkle GTS250 performed well at performance present scoring 6715 points right about average when comparing results to the FutureMark database (see here). As with most graphics cards in this range, performance and acceptable game play will diminish as the resolution increases. Overall the GTS 250 scored well and should be most capable handling current mainstream games and multimedia playback.

36Mark06 is considered the ‘Gamers’ Benchmark’ due to its intensive testing of graphics and CPU processing power. The benchmark tests the 3D gaming capabilities, based on comprehensive real-time 3D graphics and processor tests developed to test the DirectX9 performance of the graphics card. Again these results are designed to give the user quantitative results that can be used to compare with other systems and graphics cards.
