The Sparkle Eco Arc A310 is a low power, single slot, low profile GPU, offering a compact solution for small form factor PCs. Key features include:
- Low power consumption: Total board power is 50 watts, with a power draw of around 32 watts at stock clocks.
- 4 GB GDDR6 memory: Based on Intel Arc, the A310 has six XE cores, six Ray tracing units, 96 Intel XMX engines, and 96 XE Vector engines.
- Outputs: HDMI and two mini DisplayPorts for connecting up to three displays.
- Performance tuning: The Intel Arc Control Center allows for some tuning and tweaking to optimize performance.
The reviewer highlights the A310's potential fit for the Minis Forum MS01 workstation PC, which has limited space for a single slot low profile card. The A310's performance is compared to other Intel Arc cards and synthetic benchmarks, with mixed results. Real-world gaming performance is also evaluated, showing playable frame rates in some games, especially at lower settings and resolutions.
Overall, the Sparkle Eco Arc A310 is a budget-friendly, low power GPU suitable for small form factor PCs, offering decent performance for its price point, especially in older or less demanding games.
