A Graphics Solution For Around £1000: Sapphire 295X2’s

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.

Unigine Valley proved a bit too much for our Power Supply, pushing the graphics cards to their limit and exceeding 1200w by around scene 8. This required piggybacking off another Power Supply for everything apart from the graphics cards; a very demanding set of cards here!
