About:
Valley Benchmark is a GPU-intensive benchmarking tool that renders an immersive winter landscape using the Unigine engine. It pushes modern graphics cards to their limits with advanced features like volumetric clouds and dynamic lighting. The tool provides detailed performance metrics and a 'Extrememode' to stress test hardware stability under heavy load.
Key Features:
  • Real-time 3D rendering with GPU-intensive visuals
  • Support for DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.0
  • Extrememode for stress testing hardware stability
  • Detailed performance monitoring and reporting
  • Interactive fly-through camera mode
Use Cases:
  • Evaluating GPU performance for gaming PCs
  • Stress testing graphics hardware for stability and thermal limits
  • Comparing graphics card performance across different hardware
Alternatives:
  • FurMark – FurMark is a simpler OpenGL stress test focused on maximum GPU heat generation, while Valley offers a more visually complex and realistic benchmark scenario.
  • Heaven Benchmark – Heaven is another Unigine benchmark with a similar engine but a different theme (sky/island), often used for comparable stress testing purposes.
