What it is
UNIGINE Valley Benchmark is a free PC hardware test for graphics rendering and system stability. It renders a detailed landscape and monitors GPU temperature and clock speed, supporting evaluation of video cards, power supplies, and cooling systems.

The product page lists extended stress testing, command-line automation, and CSV reports among extended-edition features; result exports can be HTML or CSV, and custom test profiles and automation are listed. Basic costs nothing for one Gamer seat. Advanced costs $14.95, paid once, Professional costs $495, paid once, and Enterprise costs $7,500, paid once; paid prices exclude tax. The listed current version is 1.0 (2013). It is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS, requires 512 MB of video memory and 1.5 GB of disk space, and Linux requires proprietary video drivers. Standard EULA use is limited to educational and evaluation purposes.
