Synthetic Benchmarks
Unigine Heaven
Heaven Benchmark is a GPU-intensive benchmark that hammers graphics cards to the limits. This powerful tool can be effectively used to determine the stability of a GPU under extremely stressful conditions, as well as check the cooling system’s potential under maximum heat output. It provides completely unbiased results and generates true, in-game rendering workloads across all platforms.
The GIGABYTE GTX 950 Xtreme Gaming 2GB pulled 31.2 FPS making it the top performer in the GTX 950 category here. All the 950’s produce sound results but the Xtreme Gaming GTX 950 takes the win.
