Unigine provides an interesting way to test hardware. It can be easily adapted to various projects due to its elaborated software design and flexible toolset.
A lot of their customers claim that they have never seen such extremely-effective code, which is so easy to understand.
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 switched Tessellation to ‘normal' and quality to ‘high', running at 1080p resolution.
We experienced some microstuttering in this engine between a couple of the tests, which makes the minimum frame rate look a lot worse than it actually was during the benchmark. Regardless the results are very positive, averaging 62 frames per second.
I just dont understand the purpose of this card.
Its no more efficient than previous GCN cards.
Atleast Nvidia is releasing a much better architecture with 750 Ti and 960/970/980.
I was expecting a bit better from AMD,i thought the 285 wil be faster than the 280x. Guess i’ll wait a bit and see Nvidia’s offering to replace my 7850.
To use up the chips which weren’t good enough to be sold as 290s and push TrueAudio support.
Where’s the power consumption test? It should, in theory, be less power hungry.
I don’t expect them to do it. Nvidia’s CEO speaks about higher prices in the future and articles about AMD not considering changing their GPU prices where posted a few days ago. Also AMD has done this before. They replaced better performing cards – 7730, 7750 and 7770 – with slower cards – 240, 250 – at the same price points. They are doing it now again. Lower specs, higher price.
Go ahead and replace your 7850 I had two in CFX and replaced it with this card and you know what I don’t regret it one bit
This card even though very very good on 1080p gaming just can’t cut the mustard with 4K gaming which is where AMD pitched this card maybe if it had 4GB of Vram then it would be a much better contender
damn you Nvidia fans boys come out in droves…. It isnt meant for 4k gaming … And if you want big green go with big green… damn…
