Futuremark VRMARK

[RaistlinUK]

Just bought my new Inno3D GTS1080 IChill AirBoss X4.
Included was a voucher for Futuremark VRMARK.

Let's use this thread to start a list of your VRMARK score,3dMARK score and then you're specs, followed by your HMD, then your ED settings.

We can start to build a database for people to get a rough idea of what to expect from there systems and settings to match it.

I can't do it yet as I ain't got my HMD yet but will do the rest at the weekend.

The VRMark is only for the paid versions of Futuremark, yes?

I'd suggest the SteamVR benchmark as I believe that will work with both the Rift and Vive. It's also free. My score in sig block.

There's a free version of VRMark available on the guru3d site ...

http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/futuremark-vrmark-download.html

Downloaded but haven't had a chance to try it yet. Says it can do the "orange room" benchmark.

SCORE
7 104
with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti(1x) and Intel Core i7-2700K Processor
Average frame rate 154.87 fps
Target frame rate 109.00 fps
Outstanding! The system comfortably beat the target frame rate for this test. Now try running the more demanding Blue Room benchmark.

I'm clueless about the VRMark I have - I never get any numbers from it.

Also - the Steam VR benchmark works ok on most of my rigs - but on my Razer laptop it refuses to use anything but the intel GPU - which of course just fills lulzbuckets

There was an earlier VRMark Preview that was an optional part of 3DMark which doesn't give a score.

The newly released VRMark has two benchmarks in it. You don't need VR to run it, but if you do then you can explore the test environment separately from the benchmark runs.

The free demo version runs Orange Room, and gives a score which appears normalised such that 5000 = 109fps target rate. I'm testing various systems on it, and it seems to do a realistic job where on the lower end of VR recommendations. My systems with 970 and 1060 3GB both exceed 5000 points. On the higher but not highest end, my systems with 1070 and 980Ti score over 9000. The test does seem somewhat CPU dependant also. HT seems to help the score by a few % on quad cores. On dual cores (simulated i3) it does give a massive boost when on compared to off. Provisionally I'd speculate it is optimised for running on quad cores, but does well with 4 threads.

The paid for version also adds Blue Room. On the 1070 I tried it with various CPU combinations from 2 cores 2 threads, to 4 cores 8 threads, and it made no significant difference. All results were around 1800, suggesting this is purely GPU bound. If anyone has high end cards in SLI, it would be interesting to see if this scales well.

You may question my sanity for buying a benchmark, but I did get stacked discounts on it. I'd say it wasn't worth it to get the Blue Room as that will only tell you your GPU sucks. Orange Room at least seems to have some link to practicality. Like the 3DMark bench, the paid version also gets you some extra online result storage if that might be useful.

Some scores for Orange Room:
9421: Zotac 1070 FE + 6700k @ 4.2
9060: Asus 980 Ti reference + 6700k @ 4.2
8989: Gigabyte Windforce 980 Ti + 6600k @ 4.2
5768: Zotac 1060 3GB + i3-4360 @ 3.7
5430: EVGA 970 ACX2 + E5-2683v3 @ 2.3
3876: 970M + 6700HQ (MSI gaming laptop)

Blue Room:
1799: Zotac 1070 FE + 6700k @ 4.2
1806: Zotac 1070 FE + 6700k @ 4.0, two cores, HT off
1701: Asus 980 Ti reference + 6700k @ 4.2

All running 375.70 driver.

More testing later (I wanna play around with some overclocking) but off the bat my i5 4690K Zotac GTX 970 rig is getting a score of around 6,050 which seems pretty damn good to me!

Okedokey - done a few more runs.

So Zotac 970 as previously mentioned.

Using Firestorm for overclocking.

Normal 1076mhz - 6,086

2D 1106mhz - 6,101

3D 1126 mhz - 6,209

3D+ 1145 mhz - 6,242

Ran VRMark with the Asus ROG 1080 today. Got a score of 8,466 standard and 8,445 with GPUTweakII set to OC mode.

No idea why the OC score is lower than the non-OC one (I certainly get better performance in ED with OC) or why these numbers are lower than those quoted by Porina for theoretically lesser cards. My hunch is that my i5 4690k CPU has become a bottleneck for this benchmark.

umm
just found this thread.. downloading the free - Orange - test now

Not done a benchmark since the nineties so this could be fun �� - must remember to turn off all the lights in the house and let the cat in - back soon...
...

Average frame rate: 231.66
Overall Score: 10627

but i did get a "graphics driver is not approved' notification! - I don't chase the latest driver - could this be why?

No idea what this all means as everything seems fine on the CV1. 3Dmark free' is now uninstalled.

Here's my '5 years saving up for a PC to experience VR whilst using a Mac for 'work' spec:

CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K
GPU: Palit GeForce GTX 1080 GameRock Premier
SSD: Samsung 850 Pro 512GB
RAM: DDR4 3000 2x8GB
MBD: Asus Z170-DELUXE
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 P2 850W 80+ Platinum
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15S Dual Radiator Quiet CPU Cooler
Case: Game Max Silent Gaming PC Case

VR seems ok to me - shame about the sad CV1 resolution and lack of dioptre adjustment for the eyes tho. The suspension of dis-belief in game is a good friend right now (-:

WOW! You win.

 

[Beavis Tingleball]

10627 is an outstanding score! are you OC'd on your GPU/CPU? I have a mild OC on both and so far have only been able to pull 9531. please tell me your secret

after toyin' around with a few bios setting and a 4.9ghz oc I'm hitting 10.3k+..gonna go for 5ghz and see what happens.

 

[GMANTOR]

So I got an orange room score of 11,255 with a fairly new PC i7-6700K O/C to 4.4Ghz, 16GB of 2666GHz DDR4, M2 HDD 256GB, GTX1080 not O/C. I have a CV1. I don't post this to gloat but to point out that recently (since 2.2) I have had trouble with supersampling. I used to run in game SS 1.0 and oculus debug tool of 1.5. After having issues I decided to do what I should have done from day one and use the debug tool performance. with SS=1.0 and HMD=1.5 I was getting 45fps in dock with something like -70% spare capacity (i.e. none). If I go back to stock SS=1.0 and HMD=1.0 I get a great stutter free experience everywhere although there is only about 5% spare capacity. But HMD=1.5 is terrible. I've actually been flying around for the last week with no SS just to get used to the stutter free environment and the nasty aliasing display before trying to make it better. I'm a bit puzzled as it seems like any SS just overloads the 1080. I am also running 2x 1080 displays. I've also used Dr kaii's Edprofiler to muck around with settings without any luck.

I spent a fair bit of time last weekend trying to get the perfect settings for my 1080 Oculus setup. See here for full details ..

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...STAL-CLEAR-D?p=4777257&viewfull=1#post4777257

.. but basically SS 0.75, HMD quality 1.75, Bloom/Blur/Anti-aliasing off, Shadows medium, everything else High/Ultra.

With those settings I now get a very nice looking rock solid 90fps everywhere (n.b. you need to turn ASW off by pressing Ctrl + NumPad 1).
