HD 2600 review that actually does HQV test

Max Slowik from The Tech Lounge hangs out at SPCR, and he asked what we would like to see in his upcoming review of the ATI HD 2600XT.  I asked for HQV benchmark scores, and guess what, he actually listened.  The 2600XT scores near perfect in the SD HQV tests.  I’m still waiting on the scores for the 2400pro (cross your fingers that it can perform the same), but read on to find out more about the 2600XT.

To rate the video quality as objectively as possible, I’ll be using the HQV benchmark DVD, a collection of clips that highlight the many processes that video playback involves, and then rating them based on my findings, using Cyberlink’s PowerDVD codec. HQV uses a collection of clips that are visually assessed. Most of the tests are scored pass or fail, and the number of points each clip is worth varies depending on the importance. For example, jaggies can be severe and are easily noticeable, so getting a pass there is worth more than getting a pass on noise reduction.
