MSI R9 290 OC Gaming Edition Review (1600p, Ultra HD 4K)

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 test with the settings above both at 2560×1600.

The MSI R9 290 OC Gaming Edition manages to slightly outperform the Nvidia GTX780 Reference board, averaging 59.4 frames per second.
