VR Benchmarks

As for Virtual Reality, I love it but it is more demanding than traditional gaming. This is partially because of the resolutions needed to render for two eyes and because they render more than what is immediately visible. But also because of post effects to get the proper “fisheye” effect for it to look proper in your eyes with the HMD. You also have to have much higher expectations for frame rates in VR, skipping frames or lower FPS can cause motion sickness in VR. Because of that, I ran a few tests.

My first test was again in Superposition. This time I tested the VR Future test using the Oculus resolution. Here the TUF Gaming 6500XT was right with the Sapphire 6500XT but ahead by 11 points. The gap between the RTX 3050 and the TUF Gaming 6500XT was still a big step up. The 6500XT’s were both closer in performance with the older 5500XT and the GTX 1650 being around 150 points ahead of those cards.

My second round of VR testing was in VRMark which has three tests that are similar to the VR tests in Superposition. I only focused on just the most demanding test called Blue Room that is looking more at future VR performance. The TUF Gaming 6500XT was right with the Sapphire 6500XT with just a 2 point difference between them and both were down at the bottom of the chart here with the 5500XT and even the GTX 1650 out ahead here.
