Tropics Benchmark 1.3

Current version: 1.3 (2010-05-25)

Overview

Tropics Benchmark is a GPU benchmark based on advanced Unigine™ engine from Unigine Corp. Original version was released in 2008.

The benchmark depicts tropical paradise: waves of the infinite ocean leisurely rolls over the sun-splashed shores of lagoon islands. The sunset paints straw huts with warm colors while the mild breeze genly stirs the coconut palm leaves. Hovering high in the tranquil sky the gulls are watching crabs crawling on the velvety sand among the abandoned boats.
