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
Here we can see the performance benefits of having two GTX 680 graphics cards in SLI! 216 frames per second is an incredible result.
I am impressed to be honest, as I know how difficult this build is. If they had opted for a larger SSD and the 3960X I would be more impressed.
3930k in a 4k system? id want the extra cache im afraid, even if its not really noticed. so its a good system in some areas (build) and surprisingly novice in others (components).
I like the case, but id swap out for bequiet fans, would solve the problem, at a little extra cost.
as a talking point its interesting, but the build has a lot of flaws. I think the review needed to be more negative, although most of the problem areas were mentioned.
my main gripe? it has two systems. cool concept.
but.
its a big but.
why would you use a media center in this system with a blasting of fan noise in the room? do the fans all turn off when the media center is on? if so, thats cool, if not. useless.
I have maybe missed this, how do you turn either system on? are there two power buttons? can both be turned on together?
Not for me, ive heard this case and its almost the same as buying a helicopter and putting it in the garden.
Im splitting hairs, but why dont Cyberpower replace the fans in the case with quality stealth units? there are quite a few so i doubt air flow would be an issue, especially with the huge physical dimensions.
I like the case, its a talking point due to the size and two systems is a great idea, but I have an issue with cyberpower. my friend in london bought a system and it was troubled from day one. perhaps he got a bad system, but the motherboard failed in a week and it took some time to get it back.
I still believe its best buying your own system.
For this money I would get
3960X with corsair H100
32GB of 2400mhz ram
asus rampage IV extreme
corsair 1200i PSU
silverstone case (same as henry said in conclusion).
256GB SSD boot – vertex 4 or patriot wildfire
2x2TB HDD for storage
ASUS GTX680 (one is enough) and maybe add another later.
I worked this out at close to 3k, not 4k.
