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.
We set quality to ‘high' and enabled 2 times anti aliasing.
Smooth frame rates throughout, holding very closely matched against the higher clocked XFX R9 280 Black OC Edition. AMD don't seem to spend much time optimising this particular benchmark, so we can see the GTX760 Direct CI II OC claims the second position behind the XFX R9 280X.

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…
