Sapphire R9 270X Toxic Edition OC 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.

The Nvidia cards perform better in this particular benchmark as AMD don't seem to spend any time optimising this engine. That said, the Sapphire R9 270X Toxic Edition OC claims second place, averaging 66.4 frames per second.
