Unigine Valley 1.0 Benchmark

Publisher: Unigine

We've also updated our testing to include Unigine's free Valley 1.0 benchmarking tool. It 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.

Until now, we've only run the full benchmark at 2,560 x 1,440. However, following feedback in our forums, we'll now be including Unigine Valley results at 1,920 x 1,080 too, using the same settings (fullscreen, AA off, Ultra detail). This means many more users can directly compare their results to ours, as 1080p is by far the more popular resolution. 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. We'll be retesting and adding more cards to the 1080p chart in the near future.
