    We see from the pictures the Leadtek card does have some nice modifications to it. The card sports a huge heatsink, and possibly memory heatsinks. You can see from the two different pictures that one has the heatsinks and one does not. We're still not sure whether or not it will be shipped with or without, or if there will be more than one version. The card also has TV-Out and a DVI-Interface. Digit-Life also let us know that the card does feature a TDMS transmitter which allows to output the image to the digital and analog interface.

    Update: 5/18/01 There's quite a bit of reviews on the card that you should check out. The card retails fo $385, which is a great price, one of the cheaper ones, so that may also aid your purchasing decision.
