    As the release and availability of the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti gets closer we're bound to see some cards leaked in the sense of photos and renders. In that mindset, meet the Leadtek RTX 3080 Ti WinFast...

    Didn't know Leadtek still exists and makes anything PC related.

    Last time when some Leadtek GPUs were in my hands those were iirc some GeForce 8800GT and GeForce GTX 250 models 10, 11 years ago. Think I still have in my HW collection one Leadtek GeForce 8800GT 512MB GDDR3, (in one office PC still used) GeForce 8400GS 1GB GDDR2 and 2pcs of backthen fantastic external TV tuners Leadtek WinFast TV Pro 1920 (both returned to original box's because no use for those because of DVB-T2, and these ext.tuners are analog).

    Yea, I thought Leadtek was gone after Fermi. And those were never sold in US.

    I had a few over the years. My favorite was a geforce 6200 that unlocked to a 6600 and overclocked like a champ and paid $30 for it in 2005.

    I remember Leadtek having some fancy GPU coolers in the early 2000s.

    Quick look at their support page:

    https://www.leadtek.com/eng/support/download/

    ...it looks like they've stopped GPU production after GTX 7xx series, skipped 9xx series and then 1xxx series and upwards. But no, there are reviews for GTX 970, 980 cards out there but why there is no driver support for these on their official support page is just weird.

    Afaik Leadtek only produced GPUs based on NVidia GeForce chips, iirc they had some exclusive deal with NVidia backthen, not sure.

    Can't remember I saw any Leadtek GPU review for how long, guess 7, 8 years maybe, maybe even 10. It's good to know there is more competition on the maket, glad they're back into the GPU market again.

    iirc their own GPU cooler design was a bit on a weird side, at least those Leadtek GPU coolers I remember.

    I had that gpu, it died. I converted the heatsink and fan to work on my MSI AM2 sli board since its chipset fan sucked big time.
