ello guys.
I have a very good deal (i think) for this card (Sparkle 9800GTX 512MB) 200 euros new never used but i havent heard much about sparkle nor have i ever used their GPU's before so my question is how does sparkle rank against other manufacturers (XFX,eVGA,MSI,Asus .. etc.) ?

There really isn't much of a difference between cards except for warranty. As long as the warranty is good enough for you, I'd say go for it.

I've seen Sparkle branded power supplies on Newegg. (shrug) read some of the reviews and everyone seemed pretty happy with their ability to manufacture power supplies. however not exaclty comparable to video cards. as forementioned, good advice to stick with a good/suitable warranty.

I say go for it if they offer a good guarantee on it.
