Futuremark VRMark: the definitive benchmark for virtual reality

The new Futuremark VRMark will test all your hardware to indicate if your equipment meets what is necessary so that you can enjoy the best experience in virtual reality, the conditions will be very demanding in the face of the need for a much higher framerate than in the case of traditional game. Virtual reality requires a minimum of 90 FPS that will be divided into 45 FPS for each eye in order to achieve a smooth use experience and avoid dizziness and other inconveniences. All tests work directly on your monitor so you do not need to use an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive to run the test.

We recommend our configuration post for virtual reality.

The VRMark Orange Room test shows the impressive level of graphic detail that can be obtained with a team that meets the requirements for virtual reality systems, if your team is able to pass this test you can be sure that it is ready to work with the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive.
