Performing on high-end gaming with almost 95 percent scores, this factory overclocked graphics card stole the 'Best Performance' crown in the entry-level category. Calibre, a sub-brand of Sparkle, is shipped in a fancy package exclusively for enthusiasts. The card has a good active cooler (with a copper heatsink) which keeps its temperature moderate even while playing demanding games like Call of Juarez or Crysis. Calibre has also included a small add-on (removable) circuit board, having an LED panel which displays the real-time temperature of the card.

This card is worth the buck for those seeking a card with good performance under the Rs 9000 bracket. If you often play games such as Crysis and need better performance, but you are low on budget, we would advise using the Xpert Vision 8600 GT Sonic+ or the XFX 8600 GT. The cards costs around Rs. 2000 - 3000 cheaper, respectively and the scores are quite close to that of Calibre.
