Sapphire Dual-X R9 270 Review

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 1920×1080.


On a performance level, the Sapphire Dual X R9 270 slots right between the HD7850 and HD 7870 Tahiti LE, averaging 55.4 frames per second. Interestingly, the minimum frame rates on the new R9 270 are higher than those achieved with the HD7870 Tahiti LE.
