OVERVIEW

Valley Benchmark is a new GPU stress-testing tool from the developers of

the very popular and highly acclaimed Heaven Benchmark. The forest-covered
valley surrounded y vast mountains ama!es with its scale from a ird"s-eye view
and is e#tremely detailed down to every leaf and flower petal. This non-synthetic
enchmark powered y the state-of-the art U$%G%$& &ngi ne
T'
showcases a
comprehensive set of cutting-edge graphics technologies with a dynamic
environment and fully interactive modes availale to the end user.
(ffering a rare chance to e#perience a reath of untapped) crystal clear air) Valley
Benchmark allows you to encounter a morning high up in the mountains when the
snow-capped peaks are *ust arely glittering in the rising sun. Be it flying over the

you wish. Uni+ue in every corner) this open-space world provides a wonderfully
rela#ing e#perience under the tran+uil music and sounds of nature.

-ENCHMAR.
This option starts enchmarking of the system. 2uring this run) the GPU is
stressed to determine the systemHs relialy under graphics-intensive load.
The enchmarking is always done according to the parameters set in the
launcher. %f the VSyn( option is enaled in enchmarkHs ,ettings) the preset is
reset to a Cust' one.
The following parameters are displayed during enchmarking 8you can press &sc
to cancel a test run91
FPS - the current) per-frame 3P,
Ti'e - duration of enchmarking
Fra'es count
Min FPS - the minimum 3P, since the eginning of enchmarking
Ma* FPS - the ma#imum 3P, since the eginning of enchmarking
S(ene - the numer of cinematic scenes shownCleft

The results of enchmarking are output onto the screen and can e saved into a
HT'. file. %n addition to the aove mentioned parameters) they include1

daytime hours) shadows are softened as they are cast onto the gloomy ground.
Rain
Using this option) you can enale the rain and see it dri!!le calmly or pour down in

QUALITY
The Guality option allows for choosing etween four +uality presets when
rendering Valley) from .ow to Ultra one. This option effectively scales the
rendering performance load.
SOUN"
The ,ound option toggles the meditative ackground music and the sounds
of nature.
0 set of sounds changes with the time of day) from irds singing during the
