Posted: May 27, 2002 Written by: Davey McWatters Leadtek WinFast A250 Ultra TD Conclusion Leadtek has done a great job in designing their WinFast A250 Ultra TD. They make it looks excellent as well as perform well. From the looks of the card, they have designed it with the hardcore gamer in mind. They include a heatsink that nearly covers the entire card and to top that off they include two fans, one for the core and one from the RAM. The Leadtek lacks a few features to other cards. One of the biggest things is video-in. For a graphics card that costs over $300 they should include as many features as they can onto it. It would certainly attract more consumers if they had to make a choice between two GeForce4 Ti4600 based cards that were the same price and one lacked a feature such as video-in. Leadtek also does not include a DVI-VGA converter with the card. This would make a nice little addition to the package so users can use dual VGA monitors if they desire. I emailed Leadtek about this and they said that the card we received does not ship with a DVI-VGA converter but they would be shipping a model that does include on very soon. So we should see that in the near future from Leadtek. If a card’s looks appeal to you more than included features, and you’re a hardcore gamer, the Leadtek could very well be the card for you. The card is one of the nicest graphics cards I have seen. The heatsink makes it look intimidating as well as very heavy. If you attend a lot of LAN parties you will certainly make some people drool over your new graphics card. The $300+ dollar price tag the Ti4600 based cards carry is still a hefty sum of money to throw down for a graphics card. However, if you want the best, it will always be more expensive. If you are on a tight budget, the Ti4200 may be more in your price range. However, if you are looking for the best, I certainly wouldn’t look over Leadtek’s WinFast A250 Ultra TD. Pros:
