Interesting. Thanks for the info, much appreciated. I tried your exact settings and sitting in a station hanger I am getting 45fps with about -25% headroom according to oculus debug tool. Something is not quite right!

45fps suggests ASW to me - are you sure you've hit Ctrl+Numpad 1 to turn off ASW (I think I read that Numlock has to be on too).
The more I see these high scoring benchmarks the more I suspect that VRMark is perhaps more CPU dependent than it ought to be (or perhaps that just accurately reflects the needs of modern VR games). I seem to remember reading this comment elsewhere too. Basically it seems that, even with a 1080, it's hard to get a score much beyond 9000 unless you have an i7. Conversely, if you do have an i7 you can probably get a 9000+ score with anything from a 980Ti upwards.

You're right (of course!). I went back to your exact settings and With ASW on in the hanger I have 45fps with about -20 headroom but with ASW off I now have 90fps with about 0 to -4 headroom (right on the edge). thanks again, I will now fly around and see how it goes.
I did do some CPU scaling testing... but don't have the detail results on me right now. Will be tomorrow evening at the earliest before I can get the data. Faster CPUs do seem to help (at 980Ti, 1070 GPU level) but at the top end we're looking at relatively small % differences from throwing ever more CPU at it. Maybe useful if you're into competitive benching but otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.
I think it useful to have a CPU element in it, since wasn't that a criticism of the SteamVR benchmark when that came out?
Overclocked my CPU to 4.0GHz, it didn't affect much:
Scrore: 8637
Average frame rate: 188.29
I need to try this overclocking test again after I've upgraded my GPU.

Totally agree, it's easy to become obsessed with benchmarks but bascially if it's running Elite to your satisfaction then it's all good, the rest is just numbers (and not worth overclocking to the point of hardware unreliability, or worse, damage).
Nice article from RoadtoVR ...

Just benchmarked my PC. Thought I'd join the party. I'm pretty happy considering it's an older CPU and how little RAM my system has. I've never seen it use more than 6.5GB so I'm loathed to buy any more.
