LeadTek WinFast GTX 260 Extreme+ Review

And so it is that Nvidia has come to answer the HD 4800 series video card onslaught from ATI with their third and latest addition to the GTX-200 series, the new and improved GTX 260 utilizing 216 stream processors (up from 196). And there's nothing crazy about that. What is crazy though is Nvidia's naming scheme. Although the new GTX 260 with increased SP's is planted firmly between the original GTX 260 and their top-of-the-line GTX 280, Nvidia has chosen to maintain the 260 designation, and instead allows vendors to provide their own naming scheme to this most recent combatant to enter into the theater of operations. LeadTek has entered the fray with the Winfast GTX 260 Extreme+.

But the LeadTek Extreme+ is more that just a mere GTX 260 with 216 stream processors, it's a factory overclocked GTX 260 with 216 stream processors. It's been upgraded. LeadTek has chosen to bump the core/memory clock from 576/1998 MHz to 602/2214 MHz on the GTX 260 Extreme+. With this much firepower, is it sure to be a winner? Let's find out if this new video card weapons system has got what it takes by taking a closer look at the LeadTek WinFast GTX 260 Extreme+.
