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 by vast mountains amazes with its scale from a bird’s-eye view and is extremely detailed down to every leaf and flower petal. This non-synthetic benchmark powered by the state-of-the art UNIGINE Engine showcases a comprehensive set of cutting-edge graphics technologies with a dynamic environment and fully interactive modes available to the end user

It's a beautiful looking benchmark but very demanding on hardware.
I only got 27.5 FPS on the ultra preset with my 6950 at 1680x1050.
I can't get it above 20 FPS at 5184x1050 no matter what settings I use.

I managed to get 37.2 FPS at 1680x1050 on high quality, with 4xAA and all effects on.

Nice visuals, however a bit much for the laptop!

Just tried it on the Catalyst 13.2 beta 7 drivers and got 31.2 FPS on the Extreme HD preset with my 6950 at 1680x1050.
