Valley Benchmark is a new GPU stress-testing tool from the developers of the very popular and highly acclaimed Heaven Benchmark. The forest-covered valley surrounded by vast mountains amazes with its scale from a bird’s-eye view and is extremely detailed down to every leaf and flower petal. This non-synthetic benchmark powered by the state-of-the art UNIGINE Engine showcases a comprehensive set of cutting-edge graphics technologies with a dynamic environment and fully interactive modes available to the end user.

  1. Street Fighter

    my favourite of the bunch so far. awesome work MSI

  2. nice system build. In my dreams.

    Seriously though im thinking about this board for my next build – once I get my money back from DABS for a faulty product.

  3. I think the gigabyte boards look the best, but its not that big a deal when they all seem this good. ASUS Is my least favourite.

    Good job from MSI with this one – i have had good succcess in the past with MSI products.

  4. I think that this has to be one of the nicest looking 1150 boards that you’ve looked at in the past few days, well done MSI!

  5. bought, own it, love it.
