Closer Look

Leadtek’s multi-GPU kit includes two WinFast PX6600 GT TDH graphics cards that don’t differ from the standalone card we described in our review called Leadtek WinFast PX6600 GT TDH Graphics Card Review.

The cards are equipped with simple, quiet but efficient coolers, so they produce rather little noise even working together. So, the acoustic characteristics of Leadtek’s kit will be quite acceptable even for fastidious users.

As for the installation process, we had no problems whatsoever: the cards are very small and, unlike GeForce 6800 Ultra, do not block the PCI Express x1 slots and the latches of the PCI Express x16 slots. In our case, both PCI Express x1 slots remained available, although we wouldn’t recommend you to install a long card into the top one lest it should cut off the cooler of the top graphics card. On the other hand, PCI Express x1 devices are still very rare, so you’re unlikely to find yourself lacking the appropriate slots on the mainboard.

The distance between the installed cards is long enough for normal circulation of air inside the system case. There should be no problems about cooling the two WinFast PX6600 GT TDH cards even on mainboards where the PCI Express x16 slots are closer to each other. Another nice thing is that you don’t have to attach additional power and thus you can avoid the mess of cables you usually have with top-end graphics cards.
