first of all don't bump post if you don't want your thread got instant locked.

personally i'm not really sure their reputation as well but in my country Leadtek is the cheapest brand for nvidia card. here for the price that Asus put on the GTX660Ti you might be able to get Leadtek GTX670 (though it is reference design because Leadtek did not use custom cooler on their 670 and 680). right now i'm using two Leadtek GTX660 in SLI with their own PCB and cooler. the only problem i ever had was with my first card thermal paste. there were too much thermal paste being applied to the cooler hindering the cooling performance. but after replacing the thermal paste the problem go away. my second card does not have the problem.

when i got my second card the difference between it to asus card was around USD50. (the asus card was an OC version and i can't compare to non OC card because there were none available from asus. it was regular OC version and not the TOP version) with my local currency that was about 140 and that's really big here.
 


it is rare to see leadtek cards being reviewed. they don't really competes with other brands by making their own "gaming" or "extreme" edition of cards. so for reviewer there probably nothing interesting they want to tell their reader about cards made by leadtek. the way i see it they compete in a way providing the "affordable" geforce compared to other brands. build quality are decent.
