Unigine Releases Heaven 2.5 Benchmarking Suite, New Professional Edition
Unigine released the latest version of Unigine Heaven, one of the industry's first DirectX 11 compliant 3D graphics benchmark applications. Version 2.5 of the software expands its feature set a little, the product is also branched into two variants: a free "basic edition" that gives most of the product's functionality to consumers, overclockers, and gamers; and a paid "professional edition", that gives data-logging and specific-functionality to aid professionals such as analysts, and reviewers, priced at US $495. The professional variant is also backed by technical support.
As far as new features go, Heaven 2.5 introduced support for new DirectX 11 features such as indirect occlusion (SSDO) to simulate real-time global illumination, improved hardware support, improved quality of ambient occlusion, and a number of stability improvements that help maintain long sessions of benchmarking. It also added a new help file, and a snappier installer. The professional edition includes command line automation support, data-logging in CSV format, stress-testing, a commercial use license, and technical support. The professional edition can be purchased from here.

Cheers to US Sanctions program :toast:.
About teh lower scores/FPS drops (I´m not surprised @ all).
I beleive it is most likely due to teh new feat. SSDO (that we will benefit from when NV/AMD updates their drivers to take advantage of teh new feat. & as most filters have a tendency to have more or less impact on your performance/FPS, as y´all surely already new about/or not;))
But anyhow I´m only guessing here so if any1 else have more definitive answer/s, then speak up!
DL Now/Testing laterz...

Well lets stick to teh topic instead alright? (no I am NOT trying to moderate the thread @ all even if what I just typed points @ it ;))
OT: @ some1 who had tried teh new Heaven 2.5, Are there any other noticable "abnomalies" than performance issues/FPS drops + other than stated by btarunr & also does it l00k teh same or is it any sweeter/cooler w. SSDO? (I want to know what to l00k for when I run teh 2.5 beforehand, with respect for other system factors t00 if thats OK?)
