With clock speed running at 300/650mhz core and memory respectively, performance should not even be a question. The Leadtek A250 will handle any game currently available without breaking a sweat. I saw frame rate in an excess of 190fps in the low detail 3D Mark Car chase, something that my Geforce 3 could never accomplish not even when overclocked.

Time to see what the massive heatsink and twin fans can do. Although Leadtek did include its own overclocking utility I'm old fashioned and prefer using coolbits to do my overclocking directly from Windows. I don't consider a card successfully over-clocked unless it can do two rounds of 3D Mark benchmarking without lockups or artifacts. The Leadtek hit a blistering 325/715mhz while remaining stable and running through all these tests.

For the lesser mortals in order to convert PSD to CSS converting Psd to html is something that requires the help of designers and programmers

Great looks, overclocking software and blistering performance, what more can you want in a gaming card? Leadtek definately strayed away from the Nvidia reference design and in the process came out with a great performing and, most importantly, stable card. If you are in the market for a top of the line gaming card, with good overclockability then the A250 is definitely worth a look. I had minor issues with the fan filterscrubbing against the fan blades causing a bit of extra noise.

Pros:
Performance
Overclockability
Awesome Design

Cons:
Fan Filters rubbing against fans
