[MadScientist]

Anisotrophy option gone????

Already gave this a try. It's the same benchmark with slightly different effects. I personally think the added SSDO looks bad (big dark smudgy shadows from lights in dark areas), but otherwise, it seems like a nice update.

The most important change here is not with the engine, but with the addition of presets - it will make comparisons much, much easier, similar to 3dMark's presets. What's nice is that even the extreme preset is at a relatively low resolution (1600x900) so just about everyone can run it.

BTW, I assume anisotrophy is now set by default. It doesn't add much of a load anyway.

Isn't there another new one coming from them?

Heaven is so 2010...

Yes, Unigine Valley 1.0 is about to be released: http://unigine.com/products/unigine/media/#valley

Win8

Seems like they added a stronger DOF to it as well, and the Tess is even more "extreme" than before, looks goofy... The walking areas look painful, as in you'd break an ankle trying to navigate the "path".

All settings on max.
1920x1080 with 3x 7970's

 

[biostud]

@ Extreme

FPS: 44.0 min 21.4 max 107.0
Score: 1108

 

[Stu @ MSD]

Scaling is poor, going to try with 1 & 2 GPU's

 

[Stu @ MSD]

Much better with 2x GPU's

1x 7970 @ 1225/1700


2x 7970 @ 1225/1700

I tried running the extreme profile but at 1920x1080p(my native), 1gb card runs out of memory. Where the xtreme profile with it's 1600x900 res. profile does not.
Which is probably why they chose that resolution?
I don't run out of memory at 1600x900 8xAA, have not tried a alternative like 1080p 4xAA.
So here is the stock extreme results.

And same settings @1080p, where the bench stuttered from lack of memory a couple times. 8xAA , extreme tessellation

I'd like to see DX11.1 support. I'm curious to see if DX11.1 will have a notable effect for gaming performance.

What feature do you think is missing. Or would be added. Also, 11.1 is exclusive to Windows 8.

Ha, envy my 7750:

Looks like Nvidia's latest Linux driver is doing pretty well.

OS: Linux Mint 14.1 "Nadia"
Driver: 313.18

Here's my GTX670@1215/6800, using the extreme preset:

My 7850 blew up, overstressed I guess :'(

Wait, are you serious? Do you mean it crashed, stopped functioning permanently, or actually overheated and started smoking?

By the way, a 1200/1200 overclock, which is the you have listed in your sig, is quite far from optimal. You'll get around 60% scaling for your core overclock. The core at 1200 will be bottlenecked by the memory.

Whenever I put it in my computer now...it wont boot anymore. I can see nothing on the card, no smoke signals. I ordered a new 1.....different brand though.
Increasing the memory clock did not show any improvement in the benchmarks BTW.

HD7850 2GB @ 1125 / 1550, stock volts

EDITED.

 

[BallaTheFeared]

Looks like it's about 80% of an overclocked 7970.

Looks like 900p vs 1080p

 

[AdamK47]

Not sure why they would make the walking paths out of boulders.

Here's the Extreme preset:

Everything maxed at 2560x1600:

My bad. I made the mistake of assuming everyone was using the same settings =o

Not sure why they would make the walking paths out of boulders.

It only looks like that if tesselation is on "extreme".

I need a Titan 880/2000 pretty much peaking it for reference air.

Probably going to be some driver optimizations, both AMD and Nvidia work directly with Unigine.
