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
This game really showcases the great graphics performance of this system.
never heard of these guys, but I do like that case, its pretty cool looking.
the price isn’t bad really considering they have to build it. can’t be much money in system building today to cover staff, heating, premises etc.
the only systems that someone could build better than me would be the 8pack ones at OverclockersUK. but they are much too expensive for my tastes. ill continue to build my own, but this one isn’t too bad. at least they didnt use a chinese PSU in it, like mesh. that was shocking 🙁
I’m quite concerned…
On page two you have an image of the system internals (http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/IMG_2991.jpg): that Graphics card seems like it is twisting horribly, or are all the cool kids using curved Graphics cards now?
I can see that there is a back-plate but I suspect shipping the system with a Graphics card that is that heavy could damage the PCI-e Port if not damaging the card itself? Is the back-plate made from a plastic, it looks like it flexes a lot more than it should?
Arrangements should be made to support the card in the configuration, maybe the chassis should be swapped for one that supports a Graphics card support bracket?
This would have to be the case if the system was configured to ship with a SLi configuration.
I’m sorry for my rant, I’m sure that if the fault lies with anyone it would be ASUS (The vendor for the supplied GPU). However, arrangements should be made by the system builder if they choose to offer the card.
On the whole, a well balanced system by The Falcon Computers, well done gents.
Well written as always Henry!
