Next on our list of tests is a new one here at the Club.  Called Unigine, this benchmark aims to be a vital part of any overclocker's toolbox.  The beauty of Unigine is in its flexibility, as it will allow you to benchmark under a variety of rendering schemes.  Find out more about Unigine here.

For the purposes of our testing, we ran the benchmark just like last time; the 4890 and 4870 both ran it at 1680x1050, 4xAA, and all other settings maxed out.

Here is the first run:

Though the Render mode is reported as being Direct3d10, the benchmark actually does support 10.1 options, thus we enabled them for the test.

The 4890 takes a lead here again, with a 22% advantage in both FPS and score.  We are really starting to see how the extra overclocking headroom of the RV790 really helps in benchmarks.
