This Leatek video card, based on the GeForce 7900 GS chipset comes with a pretty good set of extras and a good cooling solution.

Keeping the card cool and only spinning up enough to be heard when temperatures get quite high, Leadtek have done a good job at making this budget oriented card quiet. The cooler is reminiscent of a 6800 GT cooler.

The card comes with two games, Serious Sam 2 and Spell Force 2 as well as Cyberlink PowerDVD 6 and a utility CD. Also included is a DVI-to-VGA connector, S-video combi cable and a 6 pin PCIe power adapter.

Testing at bit-tech shows that the card places itself well amongst the other cards of the same type. There is very little difference between one card based on the 7900GS and another, the main difference comes in their cooling solutions and the extras that you get with the card.

The card itself has room for about a 33% overclock using the standard overclocking software that comes with the card. A pretty good card at a reasonable price.

The radeon’s come in two different flavors, one with and one without crossfire capabilities. HDR effects, adaptive anti-aliasing, shader 3.0 and up to 512MB of DDR4 memory are also part of the package. Both are based on the same VPU.

The non-crossfire version offers a little more for those who hope to use the graphics card with their hdtv and comes with whole host of adapters for connecting it up.

The GeForce cards are two different offerings. The GT is a faster variation based on the the 7950GT VPU and comes with 512MB of DDR4 memory.

The 7900GS offers much better value for your money and is the more budget oriented offering. It also offers great performance but without the massive cash layout. It is based on the Nvidia GeForce 7900GS VPU and comes with 256MB of memory.

All the cards except the 7900GS are Windows Vista ready.
