Thumbs down Why you shouldn't buy Leadtek products!
At the beggining of June I was asking Leadtek tech support of a software problem (Leadtek software designated to work with Leadtek 8800 GTS not working at all). I got this:

"Thank you for your inquiry

Could you please provide us its warranty number we added on the VGA card like "Lxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" for reference? Thanks."

I reply in 14 June giving them what they needed to know. In 21 seeing I get no answer I asked them politely to answer but they haven't.

The gcard is working great and for that I am happy but they also have put there a piece of software called Winfox which is not working and it should work. But to really get no answer that is BAD !!!

/end rant/

Late reply, sorry. So the weather was too freakin' hot? Or drowning was too easy? Sheesh, looks like it's one or the other in Europe lately. Kinda the same here, come to think of it.

I have the same experience of useless Leadtek technical support, since i had a fan failure on my 6600gt and I have stayed away from their products ever since

I have a Leadtek DTV1000T and although I can't comment on Customer Service the product itself is oustanding. There is simply not a better DTV Card for the same price.
I think if you were to thus consider a new TV Card it might be a good idea to still consider them despite previous disrepences.

I thought much the same of them for my praphics card.

However their customer service is really dire.
