Unigine Valley
“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.” From Unigine.com.
So the running theme here is that the Titan series is once again the most powerful single core graphics card in our graphical testing.
Good, quite balanced review. I’ve always been an AMD guy, but with the advent of DX12 I’m wondering if it’s time to move over to the green side.
For the time being I’m on 295X2 in Crossfire, which is like having a small nuclear core in a computer case so anything that can improve on that is great!
I’ve had nothing but issues from AMD with my current rig. She started life as a FX + R9 270 build. Replaced the mobo and processor for an I7 4790k, Just need to go green with the card and thats a wrap.
ITs not the cards themselves, Just the drivers are awful. Once i finish saving for my 970 i’m kicking AMD to the curb and walking away forever.
A very good review. As expected, the 295×2 outperforms, but is also $500.00 more, and dual-gpu setup. I currently have a Titan Black and plan on skipping this generation and waiting for the next, but it’s good to see the progress in performance and where it will be in the near future. As far as the VRAM goes, the more the better. SoM already recommends 6gb for max texture settings, so that number will likely only increase from this point forward.
