Benchmarks

HQV

DVD playback depends on a lot of factors. In the HQV test, we test out the graphics card in various aspects of video Noise reduction, Film Cadence etc. A total score of 130 if the card passes all the various tests. The breakdown of the scores are shown below.

The results are based on driver 158.14 VISTA driver. We have to use MS VISTA to test it as the XP driver is not ready to fully support Purevideo HD. The video is played back using WinDVD 8 beta which has support for the new VP2 engine.

I am pretty impressed with the Jaggies tests. No more staircasing. Film Cadence is greatly improved with this new driver running with WinDVD 8.0.8.221 beta.

Temperature Monitoring

The 80nm GPU temperature reading is always something that most people would be interested to find out. In this section, we used ATiTools, ran 3DMark06 before and after and note down the temperature readings.

Before we go ahead with the tests, the readings are min 48 deg, max of 49 deg and an average of 48.2 deg. After running 3DMark06, the temperatures are min 48 deg, max 73 deg and an average of 58.5 deg.

The temperature readings are quite good if you were to compare with a X1900XT which reaches a max reading of 90 deg mark.
