Heaven v2.5:

Unigene released their original Heaven benchmark at about the same time Windows 7 was officially released. The software suite has matured and is now running at version 2.5 The benchmark measures DirectX 11 performance of 3D graphics cards.

The first chart reveals the average framerate recorded while running the benchmark. As you can see this benchmark is not affected by increased processor clock speed. If you're looking for better gaming performance you're obviously better suited to put additional funds toward a better graphics card.



The second chart once again highlights that 3D performance is hardly increased even when processor speed is increased substantially.
