Benchmarks - HQV

In this test, we take a look at the performance of the two integrated chipsets - G33 and G35 to the comparison. Both boards are tested under Intel graphics accelerator driver 15.7

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.

From the chart, we can see that Intel G35 with Intel ClearVideo technology has made significant improvement over video playback quality. With a score of 95, it already surpassed some of the low end - mid range external graphics card.

Benchmark HQV HD

Using the HD HQV Benchmark, we ran the board with it attached to the LCD TV via HDMI. Below is our breakdown of the scores:
