Unigine Valley 1.0 Benchmark
Publisher: UnigineUnigine's free Valley 1.0 benchmarking tool works well as a graphics benchmark as it is GPU limited and is thus incredibly taxing on the GPU whilst placing the CPU under very little stress.
Unigine's scoring system is effectively linear: a card with 2,000 points is considered twice as fast as one with 1,000 points, and half as fast as one with 4,000 points. As such, you can easily replicate and run the test on your own system to gauge roughly how big a difference an upgrade would likely make for you. Currently, Nvidia hardware tends to fare much better than AMD's in this test, so it is mostly useful for comparing AMD cards with other AMD cards and likewise with Nvidia.

Seems very expensive for what performance is on offer. Nvidia 970 is £80 more in places but doubles or triples this cards performance. Just not sure why you would not save 2 more months and buy the much faster card.

Nice to see it compared to the rest of the current generation, but seeing it compared against what it's likely to replace (eg, 750/750 Ti) would be more relevant that seeing how it stacks up against a 980, imo.
