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 used the settings above at both 1920×1080 and 2560×1600.



The system scores highly, as we would expect, averaging 75.5 frames per second at 2560×1600 and 126.1 frames per second at 1920×1080.

my favourite of the bunch so far. awesome work MSI
nice system build. In my dreams.
Seriously though im thinking about this board for my next build – once I get my money back from DABS for a faulty product.
I think the gigabyte boards look the best, but its not that big a deal when they all seem this good. ASUS Is my least favourite.
Good job from MSI with this one – i have had good succcess in the past with MSI products.
I think that this has to be one of the nicest looking 1150 boards that you’ve looked at in the past few days, well done MSI!
bought, own it, love it.
