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
The architectural improvements have resulted in fantastic performance improvements with this intensive Direct X 11 benchmark. The VTX3D HD7870 Black performs at a similar level to the MSI R7950 Twin Frozr III.
for F*(k sake, I got a 7870 for my downstairs pc. sighs……..
My own HD7870 scores 2.1k less in 3dmark 11. yeah thats a nice upgrade for the same price as the last HD7870.
looks like a good card, I like the cooler design, its very neat. not like some of those HIS monsters which take up 1/3 extra space.
all the free games with it is cool too.
ordered one, cant wait 🙂
Will this be available in the US soon and if yes, at what price can we expect this to launch at? I’m very interested in it.
Hi alex, i would say it will hit there, pricing should be similar… Worth checking newegg. Other partners will have them in the new year, so ive been told.
Powercolor has this card now, it’s the mystery edition 7870pcs+. I’m wondering if any full cover waterblock would fit these cards?
