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.
This tessellation heavy benchmark is a taxing initial test for the VTX3D graphics cards, but it gives us an indication of their relative gaming prowess before delving into more useful tests later in the review.
Them seem a decent make and if Amazon stock them, their warranty system is excellent regardless of the manufacturer. This is why I order from amazon all the time, no quibble returns if problems occur.
I would however look at a passive card for a media center, although many of these cards dont generate much noise at all. I read a thread where a guy disabled the fan on his card and underclocked it by 100mhz and it was fine! (6670)
6670 for a media center would be my first choice. I currently use an nvidia board but its old and about to die. might look at a passive 6670
Id go for a passive solution in this sector.
Hello,is there any option to watch TV via this card,i have VTX 6670 Digital Streamer,but which program is needed to watch tv via cable network etc,is that possible? 🙂
