PCSpecialist Vanquish 230X 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 settings shown above at 1920×1080 and 2560×1600.

  1. “Intel Core i5-4670K @ 4.2GHz
    16GB Kingston HyperX BEAST @ 2400MHz
    ASUS Z87-A Motherboard
    120GB Kingston HyperX 3K SSD
    1TB SATA III 6Gb/s HDD
    3GB AMD Radeon 280X Graphics
    CoolerMaster Seidon 120M Liquid Cooler
    Corsair TX650M Modular PSU
    Corsair 230T Case (NEW!)
    Windows 8.1 64bit
    3 Year Warranty”

    So you need expensive 2400Mhz ram now ? you need 16GB? no need for the SSD, use extra money and get a new PSU 850W and an extra 290x =P

  2. Very impressive, just ordered one for my son 🙂

  3. Gareth – seriously. get a clue. You wouldn’t need a 850W PSU for a 290X, and who wants a reference 290X that sounds like a helicopter anyway.

    16GB of RAM is futureproof for a few years and an SSD is the best thing you can add into a system. Amazing you would sacrifice all those good things, for an ultra loud video card and a power supply you dont need.

  4. wer can i buy a gaming cpu? wer can i contak u guys?

  5. A half decent PSU to run all that expensive kit – finally. Sick of seeing £1000 PCs with crappy Corsair CXs.

  6. Hugely impressive specification for the money, miles ahead of anything else pre-built on the market at this time. Ordered mine yesterday, cheers for the heads-up!
