Sparkle Power
Heard of the Sparkle Geforce 210?
I went into my local pc store and wanted a GeForce 9800GT and they were sold out(great deal for $54) so I was pointed to this Sparkle GeForce 210. The snobby teenage computer kid said that it would be about the same if not a little quicker than the 9800. I'm not a videocard guru so I don't really know if he was correct. I do know however that the 9800GT had a 1gb capacity while 210 has 512. Wouldn't that indicate lesser power? Again I'm new to videocards so any explanation would be appreciated.
The GeForce 9800 GTX+, this card is now rebranded as GeForce GTS 250. Improved by smaller die size by switching manufacturing to a 55nm fab process. GeForce GTS 250 is a physically smaller card, at nine inches long.

Geforce 210 is a low end cheap video card. The GeForce GT 240 is a little slower than GeForce 9800GT.
