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
Unigine's Heaven benchmark also shows preference towards the Gigabyte Z87-D3HP motherboard. The trend of narrow performance victories in graphics-heavy benchmarks could indicate that Gigabyte's option suffers less from latency increases than MSI's and ASRock's PLX PEX8747-equipped motherboards do.
Great price. and it seems all the more expensive boards with 12 power phase etc are a bit of a waste of cash as the cpus are very limited in regards to ocing
Seems like a winner, not very sexy looking, but at least the heatsinks arent gold!
It proves that unless you need a lot of the modded stuff these cheap boards are much better than they used to be. I like gigabytes new boards, better than the competition
maybe Gigabyte is OK.
I ordered one, Seems to be coming soon, Looks very nice 🙂 Not sure what’ll be when it turns up, But i’, gonna pimp out the 32gb And Intel 4770k 😀 Not straight away but eventually, will post results 😀
