Unigine is a top-notch technology, that can be easily adapted to various projects due to its elaborated software design and flexible toolset. A lot of our customers claim that they have never seen such an extremely-effective code, which is so easy to understand. It is already used in the development of different projects (mostly games).
Heaven Benchmark is a DirectX 11 GPU benchmark based on advanced Unigine engine from Unigine Corp. It reveals the enchanting magic of floating islands with a tiny village hidden in the cloudy skies. Interactive mode provides emerging experience of exploring the intricate world of steampunk.
Efficient and well-architected framework makes Unigine highly scalable:
- Multiple API (DirectX 9 / DirectX 10 / DirectX 11 / OpenGL) render
- Cross-platform: MS Windows (XP, Vista, Windows 7) / Linux
- Full support of 32bit and 64bit systems
- Multicore CPU support
- Little / big endian support (ready for game consoles)
- Powerful C++ API
- Comprehensive performance profiling system
- Flexible XML-based data structures
We always test Unigine at 1920×1080 (1080p) at default settings so comparisons with other graphics cards in Kitguru reviews are possible.
Our HIS 5830 was able to maintain an average of 27 FPS through the entire testing period. Our review sample peaked at a maximum of 66.6 FPS at 1080p which is quite impressive for that resolution. Our only area of concern was the 16 FPS minimum, however even the more powerful 5850 had a low of 17.4 FPS in the same test.
They aint bad cards but the 460 has just killed them, as stated on the conclusion. still ive noticed some 5830s selling cheap locally so they might be picked up cheap in the next month, especially with the new range hitting shortly.
My brother has a 5830 and it was a good buy then, it doesnt seem such a good buy now. then again with the 460 pricing, neither really does the 5850.
Saw this in a local store for $50 off recently. might be worth it at that price. full price ? no thanks.
Interesting. I heard one of the v turbo coolers and they are pretty loud. not a great design from HIS sadly. card isnt bad. overpriced.
The 460 has killed the place for the 5830 IMHO but all and all it’s not a bad card
Wow this card looks huge and bulky compared to my gtx 460 which is barely longer than the pcie connector……just looks old.
Can somebody upload the vga bios for this model?
