HQV Benchmark 2.0 is an updated version of the original tool and it consists of various video clips and test patterns which are designed to evalute motion correction, de-interlacing, decoding, noise reduction, detail enhancement and film cadence detection.
There are two versions of the program, standard definition on DVD and high definition on Bluray. As our audience will be concentrating on HD content so will we.
This has a total of 39 video tests which is increased from 23 in the original and the scoring is also up from a total of 130 to 210. As hardware and software gets more complicated, the software has been tuned to make sure we can thoroughly maximise our analysis.

A score of 196 points is class leading right now, the ideal solution for high definition media playback on a big screen.
AMD would be completely lost without Sapphire fixing their messes at times.
Good read. Any chance they could release a passively cooled HD6970 🙂 ?
Heatsink is good, but would that sticker not need to be removed before using it? might melt into the fins.
Great product, good old sapphire never fail to deliver the goods for media buffs.
Ok ill probably get attacked for this, but here it goes.
Why not passively cool the hD7770? I cant see how it runs too hot for a passive cooler.
