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.

The newest drivers work very well with the HIS card graphics card, scoring 196 points out of a possible 210.
I really would love to know what they are thinking with these coolers’ they are so mad looking id love to see the development team behind them 🙂
Great cards though, as has been proven over the last year.
I like the appearance ! its very different. the price seems to be good. most of them are 280?
This is a far east design, they don’t get enough feedback from westerners with their card design. look at the difference between sapphire and HIS for designs.
I am not saying its a problem for HIS, but the differences are in the cultural designs between the companies.
They aren’t a make I normally look at. this is one ugly card. Not sure I could get past that.
The only problem for me is that the GTX570 is a better card and faster. I doubt many people use more than one monitor. its pointless saying its any different.
24 inch screen 1920×1080 is the average ‘enthusiast’ panel size and res
What a bonkers design, someone has been on the jack daniels during the design phase
Sapphire for me im afraid,. I dont think HIS have a reptuation yet for these kind of cards.
Temps are high IMO too.
How far is that over the edge of the PCB? that might prove a fitting issue in some cases I would think
People always bitch about HIS, ive owned three of their cards and I think they aer very good. warranty is always strong with retailers too. no problems buying one.
great product, id buy this, but its a little much for me im happy with my 5 series card. waiting for 7 series !
Is it just me or are there just too many cards out on the market to keep track of? I keep forgetting who has what out. The MSI card is the best imo, but its over 300 still I think
Two of these in CFx would be great. 6 screen gaming possible? 3×3 side by side and vertically mounted? might need three of them? anyone know?
Someone in that company has been on the tequila during a design phase of this card!
It works well, thats the funny thing…
Looks like we are back at 2000.
How come another site got theres upto 1050mhz core clock at 70 degrease none the less?
Every card is different, they don’t all overclock the same. Some publications use different methods to test temperatures.
Thanks for the quick reply 🙂
