It
seems like every time you turn around these days,
a leading manufacturer releases yet another new
video card on the market.
Ever since the release of nVidia?s line
of GeForce/GeForce2 GPUs, the introduction of
powerful display cards has become commonplace.
With this ?Boom? in the market, we?ve
had the opportunity to see some really exciting
products.
But it is also becoming increasingly
difficult for the buyer to discern which card has
the right balance between features and price.
If money is no object, then there isn?t
too much to worry about. If it says ultra, it?s
pretty hard to go wrong.
But for those of us who think that ultra
is only what dreams are made of, we need to be
a little more selective before spending a couple
of hundred dollars or more on a performance
card.
Well,
we?re not alone. The folks at Leadtek have been
thinking about that too.
With their latest release they are hoping
to provide those of us in the ?middle-class?
with a video card that gives the best all around
performance for the dollar.
With an aggressive production rate that has
yielded some of the better display adapters on the
market today, Leadtek has made its presence known
in today?s video card market.
This time around Leadtek has strayed from
the normal reference design and the new Enhanced
Leadtek GeForce 2 GTS was born.
