Introduction
Leadtek has long been a manufacturer of quality video cards. While it has recently expanded into TV tuners and motherboards, video cards have remained Leadtek's focus. Leadtek has long favored the overclocker, with very large active heatsinks on their GeForce 2 models and up. It's no surprise, then, that the A250 Ultra TD should stand out as much as it does to those of the overclocking community.

- 2 full games bundled: Dronez and Gunlock
These specifications are taken from Leadtek's website, and are quite impressive. The games bundled are a little disappointing, however. While Dronez is a nifty piece of eye-candy, it's playability is absurdly low. Gunlock really doesn't show off what the card can do, and is not widely popular. However, games are not Leadtek's main offering with the A250 Ultra.
