We will also benchmark 5 other games using the GTX 1080 Ti FE, the GTX 1080 FE, the GTX 1070 FE, a EVGA GTX 1060 SC, the Fury X, and a Gigabyte G1-RX 480 at RX 580 clocks with our Core i7-6700K at 4.0GHz where all 4 cores turbo to 4.6GHz, an ASRock Z7170 motherboard and 16GB of Kingston HyperX DDR4 at 3333MHz. For each of our six test video cards, we will use Showdown to compare NVIDIA’s FCAT-generated frametime graphs and performance results directly with the Oculus Performance DeBug tool overlay running in real time in our videos. įortunately, NVIDIA has recently released FCAT VR as an accurate VR benching tool that we will compare with our own video benchmarking which uses a camera to capture images directly from a Rift HMD lens. Using extreme macro mode, we capture video showing the Oculus DeBug Tool performance overlay at 1080P/60FPS directly from the left HMD lens.

PC benchmarking methods such as using Fraps do not accurately convey the performance that the user actually experiences in the HMD (Head Mounted Display), and until recently, there were no logging tools available for the Oculus Rift as there are for the HTC Vive. We posted our original evaluation a few months ago and since then, we have been exploring ways to accurately benchmark VR games. Since BabelTechReviews purchased an Oculus Rift last December, we have been playing 27 VR games using six top NVIDIA and AMD video cards, and we have completed performance benchmarking for Showdown, Alice VR, Batman Arkham VR, Chronos, DiRT Rally, Robo Recall, and Serious Sam: The Last Hope.
