Testing Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 980 4GB Graphics Cards In SLI

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 is a GeForce-friendly test so I am not surprised to see scaling is nearly at 100% in this test. It’s amazing how much difference adding another card can make. It goes from a slightly juddery 40 FPS to a very smooth 74 FPS.
