They find PV HD sticking it to Avivo pretty good here: http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2886&p=4

Has PV HD gotten that much better? They are showing 7600GT at 45.7% CPU utilization here. I seem to recall some earlier tests more in the 70-80%-ish range.

I'd compare the delta between the CPU they used last time to get a better idea.
