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 GTX680 is a powerhouse graphics card when dealing with Direct X 11 and Tessellation, and the overall score of 90.4 frames per second is very strong indeed.
I love this case and nice system from OCUK too. id opt for a cheaper GFX though.
Nah. not for me. the case is really easy to break, my mate broke his by liftning it!
great idea and looks fab, im interested, but would aim a little lower up the pecking order on GPU side of it.
Warren, what do you mean he broke it by lifting it? did something snap?
@ Zardon – he built a system into the prodigy with a large CPU cooler, lifted it with the front handle a few days later and the handle snapped cleanly in the middle.
He was gutted. id love to know if this happens on a regular basis with ‘heavy’ system builds inside this case.
Detailed review, thanks.
I like the build myself. I can deal with noise, I normally game with headphones on anyway. idle/general noise results look good.
Id rather b uild a system myself, its a lot of the fun!”
DEFINITELY NEEDS CABLE MANAGEMENT!
