Benchmarks - HQV

In this test, we take a look at the image quality test of the integrated chipset using HQV with PowerDVD (HW acceleration enabled).

HQV benchmark is developed by Silicon Optix as a new standard for objective testing of video processors. The tests include both synthetic tests to aggravate a particular problem along with real-world material that shows the same problem.

Tests that are done include Color Bar test, Jaggies, Picture details, Noise Reduction, 3:2 pulldown. Film cadence, Mixed 3:2, Motion adaptive NR etc. The scores of individual tests are usually 0 for fail, 5 for acceptable, 10 for OK for most tests. 0 (FAIL) or 5 (PASS) for Film Cadence tests.

Below are the tabulated scores of the 3 different chipsets.

I am not sure if it is a driver issue or something else, I see a lot of flickering while doing this test. This could be one of the causes that makes it fail most of the cadence tests. Perhaps newer drivers will be able to address this issue.
