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 at 1280×720
The same performance positions as we recorded on the previous Unigine Heaven test page. the GT650 1GB claims top spot easily, with the Sapphire R7 250 Ultimate slotting into the middle.
no single slot? well that sucks… HTPC users need single slot cards.
Harris, AMD cards output a lot of heat, building this into a single cooler design would be not feasible, based on the temperature results Kitguru recorded.
AMD need the Maxwell architecture for this. I am surprised Nvidia haven’t released a single slot passively cooled MAXWELL based card, but I am sure it is coming soon.
Including the previous Sapphire Ultimate (HD 7750) in the test comparisons would have be very helpful. Next time?
