Unigine - Heaven benchmark

[Lazybones]

https://unigine.com/products/benchmarks/heaven/

Since I am still testing for stability in my system I was poking around and found this benchmark.. It does a good job of heating up my video card and CPU. Actually my system gets damn loud after running this for a few min as the fans all crank up to 100%... I am starting to think I should upgrade my CASE fans to variable high throughput ones to get more air moving.

My quite / silent video card makes a hell of a noise once it hits 100%.

Hmm! I'll give this a shot, I'm curious now

Requires a lot of disk!

Have to have lots and lots of high resolution textures these days with video cards having huge amounts of ram.

This benchmark uses a lot of the directX 11 feature set... Not exactly photo realistic but very detailed, stone and grass for sure..

I would recommend downloading via the torrent option on the site (in the arrow on the download button), their normal download link is capped...

Haha, I just walked away to make dinner and it's almost done

The only thing I really noticed was I/O loading textures and some sound distortion, which could be solved with an SSD

Now I am going to be tempted to overclock damn you and your i7 and Ti video card....

Some games are really demanding but are so much more playable at 60 fps (not sure why, they just are) and like I said before my main bottleneck is the HDD

I'd swap it out with an SSD but I don't want to re-install all my stuff again

If the SSD is big enough you don't have to re-install you can just clone the old drive over.

My main drive is only 1 TB anyway...

[Lazybones]

How much of that 1TB is in use?

A 512GB SSD isn't too bad now, however to clone it you would have to do a special consolidated degrade and shrink the main partition which is a bit tricky.

I was able to improve my results a little by pushing up my GPU clock

Will this break my laptop?

http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX55509.  Only six hundred bucks and you can just clone it over.  Do it, you'll be happier for it.  I switched my eight-year-old Dell over to an SSD and it breathed new life into the machine.  Although I won't bother running these tests on it, I'm sure I'd get a -1 rating.

Lol benchmarks almost always result in some form of disappointment.

I'll phone them up later today / tomorrow, I had this machine built there and the disk includes a windows 7 recovery partition

Will this break my laptop?

Probably, unless you meet the min requirements, also how hot you want to let your video card to get. I think that's the hottest my vid card has ever gotten. I could feel the heat
