Unigine Heaven tested across 9 generations / 25+ cards

[mxthunder]

I have ran these numbers many times over the years and feel these are very accurate results. Recently updated my test bench PC and re-ran all the tests with a clean install of Windows 10 and completed within the same 2 days, zero system changes, updates, etc. To me, very interesting to see the numbers like this. I know the test becomes very CPU bottlenecked at 1080p with the newer cards, but going to a higher res would make it harder to test the older cards and I think its still a good balance to catch a wide range of data. I know there are other benchmarks I could have used, but this one has always been my go to over the years. Simple to setup and run, and the results are very consistent. The only cards that were tested on a newer system are the 4080 and 4090 as they are heavily capped by CPU speed at 1080p.

Newest / last drivers for each?

How about the CPU settings. Was it locked to avoid the turbo changing?

Jeebus, what's the aggregate MSRP value of that GPU collection?

according to my inventory spreadsheet of ~80 cards, the numbers are below, calculated in January 2023. Some cards are not pictured in that collection photo (4080, and 4090 plus some other recently obtained legacy cards)

Awesome testing! I'll have to do something similar with my collection someday

Any AMD cards in the mix or strictly an Nvidia collector? I've got a fair spread of both, so I'll be chasing either multiple tests or ones known to perform ~equally on competing products.

I stopped counting at $10K for my own collection quite a few years back. At a certain point you just don't want to know how much you have stashed. It nearly became a source of anxiety.

Love seeing people run their cards through benchmarks. It's a lot of work!

Heaven seems to do at least fairly well on Kepler.

Fun to see the difference between what I had before my 3080Ti, which was the 980Ti and then even back to the GTX 570 that I had before the 980Ti. And finally, roughly the same performance of a GTX 460 was the GTX 280 I ran.

All them cards would produce a better score on 13th/14th gen cpu because the IPC would be like running a 6ghz+ 14nm Intel chip.

Heaven is very heavily cpu and memory bound.

Either way, looks like it was a fun couple of days!!

Good show!!

for sure - I used to love comparing the various versions of the gtx460 to the 280 and 285. they were very close

Thanks! It is CPU bound at 1080p but I dont think anything less powerful than a gtx1080 would see gains going from 10th gen to Raptor lake.
Most of the pascal cards showed absolutely zero gain in heaven going from my old test platform with 4790k @ 4.8ghz to the 10700k @ 5Ghz new bench machine i setup.

GTX 680 Unigene basic 5273pts at 13700k 5450mhz only.

It may say something, it's the best score from all the guys on my team that benched with older system.

Watcha think?

pretty neat - I havnt been on hwbot for more than 10 years lol.
was that OCing or what? I never really paid attention to the score in heaven, just the raw fps #. Here is my 680 result. i always save the html file but i know more than that was used for validation back in the day because html file too easily edited.
I used to run the Unigine Valley "top 30" thread over on OCN.

That's why it has a wrapper, so you can't edit the scores. You'd upload in the fashion you see I posted using the wrapper.

Yes the card is overclocked, but not modified and running its stock air cooler.

Haven't run valley in like 10 years.

There was another one, think it was Unigene Tropics. Used to be on hwbot, get some team points, but they recently removed it unannounced. I lost about 100 video cards worth of scores from that shit.

In short, nothing has really changed over there. It's still scummy. Still haven't gotten any sponsors back they lost 10 years ago.

I got a paltry 51.5/51.9fps with gtx 1650@1950/7300 after a warm up lap.
70fps no aa
65fps aa 2x
60fps aa 4x
40fps no aa 1440p dsr

 

[iameatingjam]

Didn't actually realize before how ahead of the 1080 the 1080 ti was.

 

[Deleted member 182555]

with gtx 1660 super mini I barely surpass a 980. but how is this possible?

78fps 8xaa

this gpu should normally run like a 1070...

 

[mxthunder]

are you running at 1080p?

 

[Deleted member 182555]

are you running at 1080p?

Yes stock BIOS.

 

[natr0n]

People collect trading cards/We collect graphic cards

 

[Deleted member 182555]

are you running at 1080p?

if I use the extreme preset the score is much higher but bench run in window at 1600x900 108fps

 

[lordmogul]

What i can see here is how incredibly well the 1080 Ti was, and how much the RTX 20 series brought features, but not raw rasterizer performance.
