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 4080, Gaming X Trio improved on the RTX 4080 Founders Edition’s score by 99 points. This wasn’t enough to make any huge difference but the performance improvement does seem to be consistent at least.

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 which is looking more at future VR performance. Like in the last test, the 4080 Gaming X Trio did manage to improve on the stock-clocked performance by 47 points which wasn’t a big improvement at all. But it does seem to be consistent.
