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 test at 2560×1440 with quality setting at ULTRA, Tessellation at NORMAL, and Anti-Aliasing at x2.
The Gigabyte GTX980Ti XTREME Gaming scores well in this tessellation heavy benchmark, especially when manually overclocked – averaging over 100 frames per second.
That is some bit of kit, all I need now is an extra bit of cash to get one…..about £598 extra should do it 😛
Bah humbug.
On page 2 you say ‘Direct CU II cooler’ not sure Asus would agree with that. And what is the difference between this one and the normal windforce cooler? Does this replace it?
I have fixed that, thanks for bringing it up. I think they designed this particular cooling system just for this specific card
On page 3.Overclocking, for these overclocking settings, what is the max GPU Boost Clock as reported by Afterburner as it doesn’t appear here in the photo, I guess it could reach the 1480/1490 Mhz with that extra voltage on the core
Is this better than the Gigabyte gtx 980 ti g1?
How do you change the lighting effects as there doesn’t appear to be any option to do this in the OC GURU
What rig are you guys using, I can’t find any mention of it in the review!
Its in the latest edition of OC Guru II
Hey, u did mistake here: “Cons:
The Asus ROG Matrix GTX980 Ti Platinum is the best GTX980 ti we have tested, but it is also the most expensive.” Not Asus, but Gigabyte! =))) Oh, these copypasters…
the ROG Matrix GTX980 Ti Platinum is from Asus. They are simply saying this is not the best GTX 980 Ti, so is the ROG Matrix. I don’t see any mistake in there >.<
I’ll call bullshit on that , it’s not any less secure than it was
