Leadtek WinFast A400 Ultra TDH review - tech|

a review of two Leadtek retail cards Leadtek WinFast A400 TDH and Leadtek
WinFast A400 Ultra TDH, which are based on NVIDIA's flagship NV40 GPU. Here is
an excerpt:
We will begin with Leadtek WinFast A400 Ultra TDH. There are evidently no fundamental changes in the relation of forces between GeForce 6800 Ultra and RADEON X800 XT. The former's performance has increased in some places, and now it's difficult to say which of them is the leader. Surely, actual games are harder for NVIDIA, but we shouldn't forget that the company has the habit not to lay its cards on the table till a certain moment, so it definitely must have some reserves. Second, new technologies shouldn't be forgotten either. Both companies have shown them, so it's only time that can tell which one will win. And we're also waiting for patch 1.2 for FarCry, which is rumoured to demonstrate what shaders 3.0 are. Third, prices are an important factor as well, and this aspect is very uncertain for the moment.
Now for Leadtek WinFast A400 TDH. Evidently, if it costs about USD 300 (the price in US stores is USD 320-360 late in June), it will oust GeForce FX 5950 Ultra for good. Besides, ATI has no new card within USD 300, while RADEON 9800 XT is much more expensive even now. There are some RADEON 9800 PRO 256MB that are sold at about USD 280-290, but the appearance of 6800 in bulk sale will be the death of them too. Thus, the low-end 6800 line looks perfect today, while the high-end one is approximately equal to its rival. Much will depend on the prices and PSU features (considering 6800 Ultra needs about 460-480W)
