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.

- Multicore CPU support
- Little / big endian support (ready for game consoles)

- Flexible XML-based data structures
We use the following settings: 1920×1080 resolution. Anti Aliasing off. Anisotrophy 4, Tessellation normal. Shaders High. Stereo 3D disabled. API: Direct X 11.
The XFX HD7850 claims top spot, by a noticeable margin. The Sapphire HD7790 OC slots in behind, averaging almost 40 frames per second. The Sparkle GTX650 Ti Dragon Series outperforms the XFX HD7770 Core by 4 frames per second.

Good looking card from Sapphire, not so sure of the range however, pricing looks off.
HD7850 is the best of the bunch, they used to £180, now you can get one for under £130.
Good review. looks like a good buy if they replaced the HD7770 with this one at the same £100 price. Can’t see this card online, interested to see how much of a premium the OC and cooler will cause.
I like the intro and conclusion, very true points on pricing. And this audience are all about price. some reviews just overlook it completely.
Do you know Scan have the XFX HD7850 for £127 today !
Unless AMD force up the price of the HD7850 to sell HD7790 this wont work. people will get pissed too. HD7850 at under £140 rocks.
