And also Bjorn3D has got a review ready, this time it is all about the Leadtek WinFast A400 Ultra TDH.If you want the fastest graphics engine for gaming on the planet, you basically have two choices: ATI's Radeon X800 XT or nVidia's GeForce 6800 Ultra. Each one has its strengths and weaknesses, and each one can dominate the other depending on the game or benchmark being run at the time.

It seems quite rare that Leadtek releases an nVIDIA card that is just a reference design in a fancy box. The company almost always produces a quieter, more effective and custom cooling solution for each of its graphics cards. Personally, I appreciate that, as I enjoy seeing companies improve upon the reference designs and deliver something more appealing to their customers.
With the WinFast A400 Ultra TDH, Leadtek offers an awesome video card, a great bundle and a topnotch, custom cooler. To get the highest performance possible though, you have to pay the price. That price is the hardest thing to swallow about this and any other 6800 Ultra.
If you can get past that sticker shock, then you should definitely consider Leadtek's offering. Then, if you want to risk it, you could even overclock this beast to squeeze even more juice out of it. As always, your mileage will vary with overclocking, but I was pleased with the performance gain I saw from my slight overclock. I'm really looking forward to playing Doom 3 with those high framerates!
