| bigheadwillie's Full Review: Leadtek WinFast GeForce 256 |
First off, i knew i was getting a geforce card from the beginning it just was a matter of which one. Well after looking around at prices, specs and the overall packages i came to the decision to preorder a Leadtek Winfast. I got this thing for $219 + $12 shipping!!!! The reasons I chose it was the fact that i had a tv out, which the Creative Annihilator does not have, for one. The Tv out is a super video out only which is a minus. Also the picture quality of the tv out is ONLY average, not on par with Ati's great Tv outs. The other big thing was that it had faster (5ns) memory chips, faster that is then the Guillemot, Creative, and Elsa cards available at the time. This extra memory speed, as i expected, allows me to clock the memory of my Geforce to 200 mhz form the default of 166. Now to the performance of this 3D beast. It is excellent so far especially at 1024 x 768 on newer games like Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament. The gfx are really unbelievable in quality, and also maintain nice 60 + frame rates throughout intense multiplayer gameplay. The drivers are still immature though. I must say i have ran in to a few "incompatiblity" problems with some of my older D3D games like Jedi Knight.
