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.
for F*(k sake, I got a 7870 for my downstairs pc. sighs……..
My own HD7870 scores 2.1k less in 3dmark 11. yeah thats a nice upgrade for the same price as the last HD7870.
looks like a good card, I like the cooler design, its very neat. not like some of those HIS monsters which take up 1/3 extra space.
all the free games with it is cool too.
ordered one, cant wait 🙂
Will this be available in the US soon and if yes, at what price can we expect this to launch at? I’m very interested in it.
Hi alex, i would say it will hit there, pricing should be similar… Worth checking newegg. Other partners will have them in the new year, so ive been told.
Powercolor has this card now, it’s the mystery edition 7870pcs+. I’m wondering if any full cover waterblock would fit these cards?
