Heaven 3.0 Benchmark

Just noticed that Unigine recently came out with a new version of the Heaven Benchmark.

Now on Version 3.0 with more DX11 support.
Heaven DX11 Benchmark is Back with Version 3.0 | Unigine: real-time 3D engine (game, simulation, visualization and VR)

I just ran it on my main build, with my Radeon HD 6950 running on factory default settings, but with my i5-2500K clocked up to 4.7ghz.

Comparing the results to my December run with Heaven 2.5 on the same PC, running different Catalyst Drivers and an Overclock of 4.0ghz... That original Score from December on Heaven 2.5 was 940 at 37 FPS.

Tonight, running Heaven 3.0 on the same video card with the same settings but newer Drivers, CPU at 4.7ghz, and the Heaven 3.0 score is 1282 at 50 FPS.

Big difference there, and though I am sure some of it is from the different CPU overclocks, its still a rather impressive increase in performance in my opinion.

I'll post some screen shots of the two score results when I get home from work tomorrow.

Not sure if the difference in results is due entirely to the enhancements with Heaven 3.0; or a difference in the AMD Catalyst Drivers... or the CPU Overclock.

I suspect each play a factor in the results... but either way.

Thats a heck of an improvement on those Heaven 3.0 results!

I'll retest tomorrow with my CPU settings duplicated from the December run and see what difference it makes; also plan to test it with both CPU and GPU overclocked but again that will have to wait till tomorrow!

Different versions can't be compared usually.

CPU does not play a huge roll IIRC.. been a while since I ran heaven...
