EVGA GTX 980 Ti Classified ACX 2.0+ 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 set Quality to ‘Ultra', Tessellation to ‘Normal', Anti Aliasing to 2x, and the resolution to 2560×1440.

AMD's venerable R9 295X2 takes top spot in Unigine's Heaven benchmark, but the heavily overclocked EVGA GTX 980 Ti board is hot on its heels.

Bypassing a larger gap leads to the performance of reference GTX 980 Ti and Titan X boards, both of which score less than 75 FPS. AMD's Fury X cannot compete closely in Heaven at the 2560×1440 resolution.
