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 use the following settings: 1920×1080 resolution. Anti Aliasing off. Anisotrophy 4, Tessellation normal. Shaders High. Stereo 3D disabled. API: Direct X 11
Performance from both solutions is impressive. The HIS HD7970 IceQX² Turbo averages around 90 frames per second at these settings, and the less expensive HIS HD7950 IceQ averages around 73 frames per second.
I always worry about warranty with HIS, they dont seem to have much support in UK
The 7970 looks good, nice looking cooler and great performance, but I wont order from OCUK, ever. too many bad experiences
Excellent, I like both of these, but they always appeared as a more budget make to me, the prices are just as high as Sapphire/.XFX etc
