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. I have also included the average frame rate as well which is important for the cards at the top of the chart because for some reason Superposition is capped at 10,000 for its scores and that doesn’t show the performance gap in those cards at the top. The Dual RTX 4060 in 2 FPS and is over 100 points behind the RX 6650 XT here with the 7600 and then the 3060 Ti even farther out ahead. In fact, the Dual RTX 4060 wasn’t far from the RTX 3060 on this one.

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 Dual RTX 4060 did better here with it ahead of both RX 7600 that have been tested but it does still end up sitting in between the RTX 3060 and the RTX 3060 Ti with the Ti rather in front than the Dual RTX 4060 is in front of the 3060.
