NEW Unigine Valley Benchmark 1.0 Scores

[QuietBob]

Tested with the Extreme HD preset (Quality Ultra + AA8x) on an MBA 7900XTX with stock clocks.
CPU bottlenecked @ 1080p and 1440p. Let's see those 4K scores guys

It might not be necessarily CPU limited. The AMD DirectX 11 driver operates strictly in an immediate context, while the Nvidia one can defer contexts through command lists, even on applications that were not written with command lists in mind due to some driver magic of theirs. Couple that with a very fast CPU such as mine, and the end result is pretty good. I really wish someone with a combination of 13900K/KS with tightened RAM timings + RTX 4090 could bench this old thing for us. The scene which shows a bird's eye view of the valley, initially placing emphasis in the sky has some insanely high maximums for me. Perhaps you should try benching it in OpenGL mode, see if the frame rate is higher (or at least equal).

Anyway, here's my 4K:

I noticed my maximum FPS barely leaves my average and yet the 3090 Ti's average FPS is far far away from that huge maximum FPS.
I wonder if the 5800X3D clocked with a locked 4ghz+ clock speed would improve it? Not like I can I don't have any OC features on my Extreme 4 board, they are locked down sadly.

Also Open GL is much slower.

Valley is extremely ST reliant, which can also be said of other Unigine benchmarks and DX11 engines in general. In addition, it shows horrible stutter with scene transitions. This is from 1080p max quality:

Well, I could only do 1080p. Here is the rtx 4070. Peak temperature only got to 60 deg C max and the fans never came on (they are whiny little things).

It's all about the right components and the corresponding software and hardware optimization (OC).
Yes you need and very strong Single Thread.

Undervolted RTX4070 to 975mV, fixed 2685MHz (because exact 2700MHz not supported). Windows 11 may be a bit slower than Windows 10. I don't care, I'm using this for gpgpu that does not get slowed much like games. Memory is Micron, does it mean it will not like oc? Memory goes 80C in heavy load at default. What is safe temperature for memory?

Daily settings, grabbed some random MCT profile used from heaven benchmark and ran twice. Tried to force wattage on it with iout gain and vidoffset, the second run. Card just got hotter, fps did not get better. Very Endwalker like. Never pulled more than 400w( stock wattage) mostly under 325w. Have a few ideas tho to try to spice things up. Ill be back if said ideas bare fruit and maybe to try 4k.

Max 65C GPU, hottest mem chip 65C. Max peak power GPU 290W. Don't OC for 10 years or more

Now run it with the correct settings

If I missed something in the settings, I don't know what exactly. Sorry.

Read the first post. The op set this up as a comparison so it helps if everyone uses the same settings. Basically turn everything to max, you get a few options for resolution

I read OP post before benchmarking but, this is the Basic version of Valley and all I can change in settings is what you can see.

On first screen @2k if I change to extreme, the resolution will be changed to 1600x900(greyout) which will tax the card less than @ 2k, extreme or not.

So again, don't know how or where to max out more than I did in Basic version of Valley?

You use "Custom", and pick "Custom" as resolution for example.
In other words, ALL settings with arrow on right can be changed in some way under "Custom".
Still, from my point of view you had everything set though...

This was my 1st run on this new system. I have to say, its noticeably quicker than the 5800x3d.

I don't think the processor has an impact in this test. With ~5% CPU Load, 14700KF@7800X3D Preset ran at 5.5 GHz throughout the test.

* 7800X3D Preset means limiting the CPU to a maximum of 88W power consumption. It maintains its performance in single core applications or small-medium load (such as this test) and is limited to a maximum of 88W in heavy multicore applications (such as Cinebench).

You are in mistake here, the single thread has a very large impact on the outcome.
The result above you (purecain) showed it very clearly, the result with 14900k+4090 could be ~FPS 340. So as you can see, the result with 7800x3d (which had a very low single thread) is far from good for this kind of engines.

Probably, but I really don't see any impact.
I set all P cores to 6 GHz, Unlimited PL2, Balanced to Max Performance and I got the same score. The differences are, to the eye, below 0.2%.

I compare the results from reviews with processors and/or video cards identical to what I have. It is simpler and more precise. For the 3070Ti, I have the video card reviews and I have not discovered any anomaly between the results in the games I have. For the processor, I compared with the results of the TPU and Guru reviews in the synthetic tests.

I don't know how relevant this 2013 benchmark is for modern systems. I think this is the real reason why it generates such... controversial results.

P.S. The last result shown here shows a 7800X3D + 6900 XT weaker than the 14700KF + 3070 Ti. Could it be so? I knew that the 6900 XT is much more powerful than the 3070Ti. They are equal when raytracing is activated, but Valley does not use it.

If you mean the result above your post, that's a 5800X3D @1440p, not a 7800X3D @1080p like the previous 2 pics. I just ran Valley with a 5800X3D and 6800XT and it scored below that by a bit, as expected for a slightly slower card. Also Valley is CPU bound during part of the benchmark at 1440p with this equipment so a 6900 XT will be even more CPU bound. Your 14700K is doing a lot of the heavy lifting in this benchmark, probably because it's so old, single threaded, and graphically easy to run nowadays.

At 1080p (at the Extreme HD preset) it's almost completely CPU-bound except for parts of 2 of the 17 tests. This is a useless benchmark for GPUs nowadays as they're all too fast.
