Leadtek WinFast A400 GT TDH
Just like the A400 Ultra, the Winfast A400 GT TDH is also based around the same NV40 core, and again features a full complement of sixteen pixel pipelines and six vertex shaders. The only specification differences here are in the clock speeds, where we find Leadtek's offering adhering to NVIDIAs reference clock speeds - Namely 350MHz for the core, and 500MHz (1GHz effective) for the RAM.
As you can see, the cooling solution used is identical to that of the
A400 Ultra - A promising sight for anybody looking out for a GeForce
6800 GT to overclock to (or close to) 6800 Ultra levels. Unlike
the A400 Ultra, the GT variant features only a single Molex connector to
feed power to the board.
Again, the heatsink at the rear of the A400 GT is the same as that found on the A400 Ultra.
Unlike Leadtek's A400 Ultra, the GT part has a backplate which only occupies a single slot, although this is somewhat academic as the height of the cooling solution still takes up two slots regardless. The other major difference is the absence of dual DVI, with the A400 GT featuring a more traditional mix of a single DVI and single VGA port, as well as the usual video out capabilities.
You can see the difference between the two boards below - As noted earlier, the identical cooling solution means that both boards require two slots to be free (which, let's be honest, isn't an issue for most systems, but is one to consider for SFF system users and the like). We can see the backplate and output port differences here however.
Now we've examined both of the boards, lets widen our net by taking a look at the bundles offered with these two cards.
