LeadTek Cards
LeadTek A380 Ultra (GeForce FX 5950 Ultra)
This is the only card that we have from LeadTek, but it isn't disappointing. Over the years, LeadTek has done pretty well for having nice overclockable solutions. This one has an innovative fan shroud, which directs some of the air (generated by the single fan) around to the rear of the card to cool the memory on the back. This is the kind of "why didn't I think of that" idea that we are happy to see around here.
Though the LeadTek is a bit loud, the card's performance is unmatched.

Nice article. A passively cooled 9600XT?!...I've found my next video card. There is one thing that I am unclear about - the Seagate hard drive used in the test setup - is it an SATA drive?
