Mid-Range AMD Graphics Card Round-Up (HIS 7770 GHz / HIS 7850 / Sapphire 7850)

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 use the following settings: API: DirectX 11. Quality: High. Stereo 3D: Disabled. Monitors: Single. Anti Aliasing: x2. Resolution: 1920×1080.

Unigine's Valley benchmark gives each 7850 a result which is close enough to call the lead a tie. The 0.3% performance difference is well within the recording error of Unigine's Valley software, given that the results are displayed to one decimal place.

The HIS 7770 GHz Edition IceQ X Turbo is left trailing the pack by a considerable margin. On the other hand, it is expected to do so, given its intentionally lower position in the performance tree.
