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 toggle quality to HIGH, and resolution to 1600p.
Nvidia hardware scores particularly well in Unigine Valley, and the OCUK GTX970 averages just over 64 frames per second at these settings.

OK you tested the card but at the beginning of the review you talk about improvements to reduce coil whine and during the entire test you didn’t even make a specific test to verify the OcUK claims of reduced coil whine. This is the first review from Kitguru I’ve read that I deem to be incomplete. If you want a good testing scenario for coil whine I’ve got an easy one for you that works every time. Just let me know.
Instead of coil whine, we ended up with comment whine.
Well don’t you think they should have tested it specifically for that reason?
Nice review. I got this Card yesterday and put in my rig. What a great Quality. I overclock the gpu to 1200 MHz and the mem to 1900 MHz. Only set the limit in MSI afterburner from 100 to 106. With those settings, it boost to 1420 MHz on core. You Guys have 84 MHz more on the gpu and only boost to 1411Mhz ? Why..?
