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 strong set of results for this hardware, scoring 196 points out of 210. We have not seen any noticeable IQ improvements with recent drivers from AMD, but they are already leading the way.
WOw that is a heck of a board. I think this will be on my list next month.
Arent they a part of ASUS? I dont know why people wouldnt expect them to be great if they are.
Nice looking product.
great boards from ASROCK. I bought their AMD board last month and its been flawless. good overclocking bios too.
Looks great, but fatal1ty in the bios as a picture? Id want to spend as little time in there as often.
They should do a cameron diaz version 🙂
I like these boards, I hope to buy one when I am paid, but I might go for asus as I had an asus board before and it was great. asrock are generally a bit better value.
Excellent im sold. Price isnt too bad considering
I like the layout, and the bios is great. Can you remove the fatality image in the bios? That would drive me nuts
Asus dont make these boards. As far as i know they are seperate companies now
