Conclusion

First, Hardware Pub would like to extend its thanks to the generous folks over at Leadtek for providing the review sample. The Leadtek WinFast A250 Ultra TD is one kick-ass card. While the performance gains from the GeForce4 GPU certainly are not unique to Leadtek, you certainly cannot go wrong buying the A250 Ultra if you want great performance, and an overclocker friendly solution. However, there are those who just want a fast video card, and a more attractive bundle will likely sway these buyers toward other products. The game bundle, coupled with the lack of a DVI to VGA connector are enough to make this package seem lackluster. However, if bundle is not your bag you will have one of the best-cooled cards on the market.

Pros

- Amazing cooler
- Very fast
- $340 isn't insanely expensive
- Dual display support
 

Cons

- Not newbie friendly: lack of thorough documentation
- Lacks an attractive bundle
- No DVI to VGA connector for secondary video-out
