Are Leadtek Video cards the only ones with hardware monitoring?

Post by Sean »

I am looking at a Leadtek GeForce 3 Ti200 T. It's at NewEgg.com for 187$ and free shipping.

Look for the name above...

Now, on to my question. This card has all that sweet over clocking software and hardware monitoring with it. It came with the GF2 MX64 card i have right now. Just doesn't have hardware monitoring on it, cause it isn't advanced enough, but I could over clock. :) Anyone know if Leadtek is the only company to have this kind of software?

I am also interested in Leadtek's TDH model...

Found a Leadtek TDH for $201.67 $6.79 for UPS 5-7 Day Ground: http://www.nxgenstore.com/nxgen/itemdes ... 61&tpc=The only difference are the ram sinks, if you look at the Leadtek's links above. :)

Not posative but pretty sure that the hardware monitoring is a separate app from the driver so you can install it and then use what ever driver you want.

Yes, correct. :) When I deleted my drivers, WinFox was still availible.

I like Leadtek, my GF2 MX64 is pretty nice for being 42$ :)
