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 RTX 4070 Ti OC came in sitting between the RTX 3090 Ti and the RTX 3080 Ti. This was well below the 7900 XT which scored a 9619 but still good when compared to past Nvidia 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 which is looking more at future VR performance. The TUF Gaming RTX 4070 Ti OC performed here just like it did in the Superposition test sitting again between the 3080 Ti and the 3090 Ti.
