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.
We already knew the HD6970 was a very capable performing discrete solution, but in ‘turbo' mode, the frame rates are noticeably enhanced.
I wish more companies did collectors editions, they are much more interesting to read. I agree however on the screwdriver set. its fab, but i have all the tools in a drawer already.
seriously, stop reviewing powercolor hardware, they are basically impossible to buy here. I know from the oCUk forums that they stopped doing them cause of warranty issues, they wouldnt honour uk people.
thanks for review, not for this card but for the link on ebuyer for the 250 quid 6970. tyhats my son sorted for christmas.
I think its a thing of beauty, people will pay for it. well if they can find it, I couldnt. anywhere.
Its a great idea, just massively overpriced for what you get. My biggest problem with Powercolor is that I read a huge thread on OCUK last year when they stopped stocking them saying that they weren’t authorising RMAs or something.
