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.

Another good card from the Sapphire team 🙂
Great cards. My friend bought one and its really quiet. the coolers are great this year.
Bought the 7970 last week 🙂
Quality cards, but its a tough decision id have to base on price right now. as they all overclock much the same.
Its XFX or Sapphire usually, but that gigabyte card is a solid buy,
Only one problem. YOU CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE !!!”
nice specs. good performance sapphire coolers seem a bit better than XFX coolers in regards to tempeatures.
