Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 Review

Valley Benchmark is a new GPU stress-testing tool from the developers of the very popular and highly acclaimed Heaven Benchmark. The forest-covered valley surrounded by vast mountains amazes with its scale from a bird’s-eye view and is extremely detailed down to every leaf and flower petal. This non-synthetic benchmark powered by the state-of-the art UNIGINE Engine showcases a comprehensive set of cutting-edge graphics technologies with a dynamic environment and fully interactive modes available to the end user.

We toggle quality to HIGH, and resolution to 1600p.


The reference clocked GTX980 performs well out of the box, falling in slightly behind the overclocked Asus GTX780 Ti Direct CU II solution. The story is different when we overclock the GTX980 to give a better indication of upcoming custom partner solutions – it claims top spot in the chart.
