One Slot Cooling Solution
One of the World's first GeForce GTS 450 graphics cards with one-slot cooling design with 2 heatpipes with copper fins, meeting the mainstream users' requirement for compact design. It use the premium 7010 centrifugal fan design featuring greater air volume to take the heat away and lower the temperature rapidly. The cooling fan has the speed modulation mechanism, so that the working noise will not be maintained at the full speed level, and this mechanism can increase the fan's life.


Advanced Rendering Architecture
Using NVIDIA’s next generation GF106 chip architecture. The SPARKLE GeForce GTS 450 Graphics Cards can dynamically allocates 3D processing power to geometry, vertex, physics, or pixel shading operations, delivering up to 2x the gaming performance of prior generation GPUs. Thanks to technologies such as NVIDIA Lumenex Engine, SPARKLE GeForce GTS 450 Graphics Cards support DirectX 11, Shader Model 5.0, NVIDIA Quantum Effects technology for physics computation and GigaThread Technology for extreme processing efficiency in advanced, next generation shader programs.


NVIDIA™CUDA Technology With 192 cores CUDA C/C++ Support and 32 Texture Units
CUDA technology unlocks the power of the SPARKLE GeForce GTS 450 Graphics Cards' 192 processor cores to accelerate the most demanding system tasks such as video transcoding. The 32 Texture Units embedded in the GF106 can dramatically improve the texture processing efficient in latest DirectX 11 games, resulting in higher fps than the competitor's products.


Dominate Next generation DirectX 11 Gaming
Tessellation- one of the biggest new features of Microsoft DirectX11, helps the SPARKLE GeForce GTS 450 Graphics Cards to treat your eyes to incredible visual details without sacrificing frame rates. With more geometry processing power, get incredibly detailed characters, terrain and game environments - all with blazing fast performance. The SPARKLE GeForce GTS 450 Graphics Cards aslo bring stunning gaming effects with cutting-edge Microsoft DirectX 11 graphics and NVIDIA PhysX technology take gaming to a new level.


Expect The Fastest Performance With Overclock Features
The SPARKLE GeForce GTS 450 Graphics Cards are overclocked out of box with 789MHz core speed, 3760MHz memory speed and 1579MHz shader clock. Compared with ordinary GeForce GTS 450 Graphics Cards on market, SPARKLE slightly enhanced the performance of the SPARKLE GeForce GTS 450 Graphics Cards for mainstream gamers to enjoy better value for money.


1024MB GDDR5 Memory
The SPARKLE GeForce GTS 450 Graphics Cards provides incredible large 1024MB GDDR5 video memory to mainstream gamers, to satisfy the rigorous need on the video memory bandwidth, conquering today's hottest DX11 game, such as Stalker: Call Of Pripyat, Metro 2033, even to meet the requirement from 3DMark 11 launched this autumn.

OpenGL 4.0 Optimization and Support
Ensures top-notch compatibility and performance for OpenGL applications.


Native HDMI 1.4a Support and Audio Input for HDMI
Fully integrated support for HDMI 1.4a including xvYCC, Deep color and 7.1 digital surround sound. High-definition audio transmission can be realized without spdif wiring.


The SPARKLE GeForce GTS 450 Graphics Cards Comes with 3 free Applications Bundled.



MAGIX Video Easy, which is the first video editing program for the whole family. It's so easy to use that even beginners without any prior skills will be able to design breathtaking videos in just a short time. Transform recordings of family celebrations, vacations, or special events into video DVDs or present your videos on the Internet with ease.

SPARKLE GTS 450 also offer Supersonic Sled and Design Garage,2 new, exciting NVIDIA applications which showcase how GeForce and these new products are driving the future of gaming.

Supersonic Sled is a timed race game involving a rocket-driven sled on a 6-mile track. It provides a compelling and interactive showcase of DX11 Tessellation, PhysX, CUDA particles, and fluid simulation. Design Garage is new, exciting demonstration of ray tracing technology. Interact with the most exclusive vehicles on the road and create incredibly photo-realistic images. Harness every last bit of GF106 compute power using CUDA accelerated ray tracing.


With these two applications, SPARKLE wants to literally give consumers the keys to the new GF106 architecture. To expose and showcase the new level of interactivity and realism that this architecture enables. Applications so compelling that consumers will spend hours playing with.
