Onze Russische vrienden van iXBT-Hardware informeren ons over de uitstekende kwaliteiten van de Leadtek WinFast DDR Rev.B GeForce videokaart. Dankzij de jumbo heatsink en cooler waarme revisie B wordt uitgerust mag dit model zich de best overklokbare GeForce DDR kaart noemen. Daarnaast blijkt-ie ook totaal geen problemen te hebben met een AGP snelheid van 89MHz waardoor de Leadtek WinFast DDR Rev.B een perfecte oplossing is voor je BX plank @ 133MHz bussnelheid.
As you can easily guess, a large heatsink like that covering the chipset allows very efficient overclocking. We managed to overclock the chipset on this card to 170-172MHz and the memory - to 350MHz. We would like to stress that this is today's overclocking top record. This is the first graphics card on NVIDIA GeForce 256 chipset, which showed such impressive results. As we expect, this card will perform much cooler when overclocked. Well, we'll see...
The performance of Leadtek WinFast GeForce256 DDR Rev.B at higher AGP frequency is also worth mentioning. As we have already said in our reviews, setting the FSB frequency of our i440BX mainboard equal to 133MHz, will provide 89MHz AGP, which may turn out fatal for a lot of AGP graphics cards. Taking into account that a lot of BX-mainboards owners are pretty interested in increasing their FSB frequency to 133MHz, we decided devote a bit of attention to the performance of graphics cards tested in our lab at higher AGP frequencies. We can point out that Leadtek WinFast GeForce256 DDR Rev.B coped with this task just perfectly. We don't have any remarks concerning its operation at 89MHz AGP frequency.
