Unique about the Leadtek WinFast Titanium 500TDH is its large heatsink/fan setup. The card uses one completely integrated heatsink/fan unit to cool not only the core of the card but also the memory chips. Because of this, Leadtek could use thermal grease not only of the core but also on the memory chips themselves to aid heat transfer. The core temperature was kept at 134 degrees Fahrenheit. Overclocking the card was met with success, as the 250/580MHz speed the card hit was respectable.

Unlike some other WinFast cards we have seen, the Leadtek WinFast Titanium 500TDH does not include hardware monitoring. The card does feature TV-out as well as DVI-out, however.
