I was browsing for a new 6600 GT on ebay when I noticed that Sparkle 6600 GT cards are generally much cheaper than the cards from other manufacturers. I was going to buy one but I hestitate since I've never even heard of this company before. Anyone here has heard good or bad stories from Sparkle cards owners ?

not really sure about sparkle... however I do know they make PSU's and other things. They may be like "Palit" and palit is not known to be trusted...

If it is from a good seller, I'd try it and see. I wouldn't if I were building for someone else, but for my own uses, I'd take the chance. As long as it is from a good vendor that you can just RMA it if it turns out be crap (doesn't seem like Sparkle would make PoS stuff, though...maybe not Leadtek/BFG/Gainward, but surely not like the aforementioned Palit, PNY, etc.).

Anandtech did a review of pci-e 6600gt a little while ago. The review included the Sparkle you might want to check that out. The name of the article was retail 6600gt exploration or something like that.
