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.
Good performance again, averaging just over 60 frames per second at 1600p.
Of course the first AIB custom cooler WOULD be on a 290 non-x…my patience runs ever thinner.
Happy about the thermals. Not happy about the OC potential though. I though it could hit 1.2GHz.
No voltage tweaking? Cmon Kitguru, we wanna see more speed!
Did you increase voltage with that overclock?
Once we took the power limit to +40% (as shown in the screenshot) we didn’t find any improvements above this point. Not with this sample anyway. It can vary from card to card.
So the difference between the reference and the 100£ more toxic version is 1fps in games ? legit.
what power suply that graphic card need? (sorry for my bad englando)
The problem with the AMD cards is that they are being used for mining. Which has made the cards hard to find, and any that are for sale are at some insane jackrd up price well over the retail price. This is going to hurt AMD in the long run, as people will justto nvidia for those very reasons. AMD needs to block the mining ability, if they want to survive as a gaming card.
For reviewer:
Please, can you post a maximum VRM1 and VRM2 temperature in load from GPU-Z?
Thanks.
