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.
The Unigine Heaven benchmark follows the trend of showing that the Asus P8Z77-V LK doesn't have any underlying performance issues that hamper its performance, in comparison to a pricier Z77 option.
Excellent price, asus are rock solid too
I have this board and it has been great for me, i have my 3770k sitting at 4.7ghz with a D14 cooler. brilliant for the prce.
It is quite an ugly looking motherboard with a lack of heatsinks, but it is very good. I have read a few reviews on it now and it seems to get good reviews everywhere.
Needs more sata ports, but apart from that, id have one myself.
Great review. I plan to get this specific unit for an upcoming build. Great value.
