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
The graphics-heavy Unigine Heaven benchmark seems to prefer Haswell's architectural enhancements over the IVB-E chip's extra cores and threads, although the performance difference between each of the processors is barely 1% (and presumably within the Heaven benchmark's error margin).
What this test better shows is that none of the processors being compared today are likely to bottleneck a graphics configuration comparable to the GTX 760 in Unigine's Heaven benchmark.
Epic stuff. skimmed over it before work this morning, bookmarked for a good read later today. Next on my list to place my 3930k.
Well at least it seems to overclock a bit better than Haswell. Good info on the core to core tests. 4770k is the most efficient processor on a core basis.
4960x looks like a solid processor, but I wish AMD could offer more of a challenge then Intel would be forced to drop their prices a little. it is very very expensive. Still, for the target audience of people who render etc looks like a great buy.
AMD , where are you!???
Great review, haven’t read all of it yet, but picked up some interesting info. Way out of my price range. im saving for a 4570k and a new mobo. always good reading these ultra high end reviews, just to dream !
wow a lot of work in this one. I do agree with eran earlier in the review. Intel are kick ass, but the prices are hard to swallow. 4770k for a bang to buck is much better, but same with the last generation. these 6 core CPU’s cost a small fortune.
Good work Mr Hill.
best review of this I have read today. I love INTEL!
Ah the perfect partner. Blows the heck out of the FX 9590.
Did ASUS provide a release date for the X79-Deluxe?
LqM, the Asus board will be hitting retailers in the coming days.
Asus would release more boards or just the deluxe?
I wont get the 4770k. 4820 is much better IMO
what are the boot times and boot options on the “Asus X79-Deluxe”?
