Standardised measurements

[CATPAIN KIRK]

One thing that slightly annoys me on this subforum is that everyone just states his personal experiene. This is largely based on hardware (regardless if it's electronic or biological).

We can't eliminate the biological element without extensive tests, but the electronics bit could be easily achieved by having standardized benchmark - either provided by the devs (preferrably, if done well and low priority) or a general agreement by OR testers.

What would be your top ten variables?

GPU
Real / Software Measured / Default IPD setting
Height / Gender settings
CPU
Main Monitor Refresh Rate
RAM
USB Data Bus bandwidth (how much the bus is currently being used)
Airflow / Cooling
Ambient Heat (due to the IR use)
RFI?

Height/Gender? Airflow/Cooling? Why?

And who really has had his real IPD measured by an optician /ophtalmologist? Imho, it should be kept simple, so even the most lazy and tech averse person can provide useful numbers. Guess it wont be doable without an ingame benchmark, but I really wish there was an easy way people could report changes in performance with basic numbers (e.g. mean, median and range) in a set of standardized scenes. As it stands now, everyone just takes out his left lense (bad) or glimpses at afterburner (better but still bad) and posts about "huge" increases and decreases in Performance, which is quite useless.

I happed to be at the optician yesterday and asked them for my IPD
Not sure it's really made any difference

I got my IPD measured by an optrician...

The other stuff.. well.. you asked for 10 things.

Yeah - sorry - bad post. I fail at English, especially when I'm drunk, which I was when posting it.

What I meant to say that it would greatly help the game if there was a a standardised bechmark implemeted that provides basic and reproducible statistcis.

My question was mainly aimed at variates to be included in said benchmark.

Imho, ED is the absolute gold standard for VR as it stands, so adding a standardised, idiot-proof benchmark would really help in obtaining relevant results instead of all the mumbo-jumbo I read about on these forums.
