VTX3D Radeon HD7970 X Edition Review

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 hefty overclocked speeds help push the VTX3D HD7970 X Edition way ahead of the reference clocked card, averaging 8 frames per second more. This is actually only a few frames per second behind the GTX590!

  1. Wow thats a great product, surprised how well it handles.

  2. What is their warranty support like though? Powercolor had a terrible coverage plan in the UK.

  3. I dont think it looks that bad. anyway who looks at a video card anyway, once its installed, its out of sight, right?

  4. Wow im buying this, ive waited for a while now for a good 7970 with quality cooler. none in stock yet, another week before its available 🙁 damn you kitguru for getting my hopes up.

  5. Well some difference there is… as i checked warranty times from one shop for some 7970 cards. MSI, ASUS, Gigabyte offering 3 years on the ones i checked. XFX 2 years and this one has 1 year. I bought this one anyway.
