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.
Efficient and well-architected framework makes Unigine highly scalable:
- Multiple API (DirectX 9 / DirectX 10 / DirectX 11 / OpenGL) render
- Cross-platform: MS Windows (XP, Vista, Windows 7) / Linux
- Full support of 32bit and 64bit systems
- Multicore CPU support
- Little / big endian support (ready for game consoles)
- Powerful C++ API
- Comprehensive performance profiling system
- 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.
Decent performance from the VTX3D HD7870 EyeFinity 6, averaging 65.4 frames per second. This is a couple of frames per second behind the last generation Nvidia GTX580.
Its a great idea for multiple monitors, but it seems like a half way approach.
people who want this for business, wont need a 7870, so its overkill as they wont game.
gamers who want 6 screen support would be better with a 7970 version as it has more power. then they could add another 7970 later for crossfire and added power.
Make sense or not? I think so anyway.
seems more suited to business users IMO. small design for business cases, single fan for people who dont really care about a little extra noise. not enough power for gaming on 4 screens or more etc.
I dont understand the selection. 7970 would make much more sense for this kind of card.
I think like Jeff, we need it for buisness and I don`t care much about the 3D support so 7750 with 6 outputs is good for me. I need PCIe 3.0 support, because I need fast 2D transfers over the bus.
Interesting card, currently the best you can have for Eyefinity in 7xxx series, unfortunately, as the two 7970 series who can run 6 screens have mixed outputs resulting in screen tearing, same for Sapphire 7950 FleX which is for a start limited to 1080p (bcos of HDMI) and on top of that has mixed outputs resulting screen tearing.
What someone should do would be a 7950 or 7970 with 6x DP. For business use one gets off the hook cheaper by going with either 6770 eyefinity 5 edition (like, from example, XFX does and which is on top of being small also a single slot card) or with 6870 Eyefinity 6 which is usually close to 100 euro cheaper and also has 2 Gb of vRAM.
Thanks a lot for sharing this with all people you actually recognise what you’re talking about! Bookmarked. Please also discuss with my web site =). We could have a link alternate arrangement between us
