Unigine valley benchmark is getting an upgrade.

Recon-UK · Nov 10, 2016

I think people need to make the resolution 1440P as standard, 4K as high end and 1080P as low end.

I don't think that 100MHz will give you a much better score, since this benchmark should be GPU bound, not CPU, curious though if it does...

Valley is very CPU bound. Especially with higher end hardware. To get better scores, your best bet it to disable hyperthreading, disable all but 2 cores (so you can get a higher core clock on the remaining 2 cores) and then run the Valley benchmark.

Valley NEEDS an upgrade....it just isn't getting it. As a GPU test, it's become nearly completely irrelevant.

Well, updated the bios on mobo and had to spend most of a day tweaking and getting it all stable again. While I was at it I thought I'd re-try Valley with 4.8ghz HT off, I got a few more points, not much more, but it's certainly very cpu dependent from 7k onwards.

gpu's @ 1224/3476
cpu @ 4.8ghz (4.6ghz cache)
ram @ 3333mhz 14-18-18-30 1T

That's me done anyway, I'll stop spamming the thread now!

GPU : 2050 / Memory : 5500
CPU : 4.4Ghz
Ram : 3000mhz

Locksmith · Nov 21, 2016

Upgraded My GTX 970 to a Gainward GLH-GS GTX 1080 - OC core 2100mhz Mem 5515

think the Ram can go a bit higher..

CPU @ 4.7Ghz

Same settings, but better score with new drivers, even on old hardware.

MEH... 8xAA setting puts things back to the GPU.

Not really. It's still very CPU limited. Even the 970s I had were limited by CPU clocks. The 980tis were even worse, and the 1080s I have now are so bottlenecked, the 980tis actually scored higher.

Valley simply isn't worth running any more. I'm at that point with Heaven as well. Hopefully, the new benchmark that Unigine is releasing at some point this month will have better multi-core support, so that a single core at ultra high clocks isn't required to get a good score. I won't hold my breath, though.....

eidairaman1 · Dec 9, 2016

I use Unigen for stability testing, that's how I found my daily clock of 5.1GHz.

SLI is almost always limited by the CPU... I wasn't talking SLI.

Vellinious · Dec 9, 2016

Doesn't matter. A single 1080 / 980ti are still limited by CPU core clocks in Valley. In the single card's case, they're not limited much, if at all in Heaven yet, but, it's getting very close to the point that they will be.

Attention New Members- DO NOT FLASH YOUR FRIGGIN GPU BIOS- it will lead to a fancy expensive paper weight!

I've flashed the bios on my GPUs a few hundred times, even done it on the 1080s and haven't made a paperweight yet. Just sayin.....

hi!
got myself a little christmas gift - Zotac 1070 AMP. Does 1929 boost out of the box, a quick oc to 2025 with fans set to 80% (only way to keep the boost stable) it is quite audible. However, im running a 1080 GSYNC monitor, so i dont even need that overclock (everything between 60-90fps@ultra) and at auto the fans are between inaudible and whisper quiet even under gaming loads

edit: crappy phone pic

Try pushing minimum fps as much as I can.

i5-6500 @ 5Ghz + DDR4-3333 15-15-15-28-278-2T + 980 Ti @ 1538Mhz/2000Mhz

Screenshot capture by phone. For some reason I can't use F12 or save score button. It just don't exist in folder. So no need to add my score.

NinkobEi · Jan 4, 2017

use the "Snipping tool"

I also had a lot of trouble getting to the screenshots. Go to c Drive/users/ yourname/Valley/Unigen/screenshots

Unless for some reason it's just not taking the picture of course

It is empty. I try changing F12 to other key like F1 but still can't capture screenshot. I will try snipping tool like NinkobEi suggest.

interesting, you GTX 980Ti is detected as a unknown GPU :rolleyes:

, gotta test my GTX 980 to see if the "custom Bios" it has does something similar,

I bench in diagnostic mode to reduce background service to minimum.
