The Virtual Reality benchmark

Futuremark has announced its newest benchmark suite, the VRMark, which will test system's ability to run VR game and other VR applications.

With recommended frame-rate for an optimal VR experience set at 90fps, the performance required for VR gaming is much higher than typical PC game so VRMark will actually test the system and give a score that will show if the system is ready to deliver VR experience on HTC Vive and Oculus Rift VR headset.

Since this is a benchmark suite, it does not actually need a VR headset but will run on the monitor. Of course, it can also be run on a connected headset in HMD mode.

In order to test the system, the new VRMark Orange Room test has an impressive level of detail that will show if the system is ready for two of the most popular VR system that are currently available. The Blue Room benchmark, which is only available in the Advanced Edition of the VRMark, is meant for high-performance PCs and shows more detailed results as well as hardware monitoring charts.
