Is your PC ready for VR?
The performance requirements for VR games are much higher than for typical PC games. So if you're thinking about buying an HTC Vive or an Oculus Rift, wouldn't it be good to know that your PC is ready for VR?
VRMark includes three VR benchmark tests. You can run the tests on your monitor, no headset required, or on a connected HMD. At the end of each test, you'll see whether your PC is VR ready, and if not, how far it falls short.
VR ready for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift
The Orange Room benchmark shows the impressive level of detail that can be achieved on a PC that meets the recommended hardware requirements for the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. If your PC passes this test, it's ready for the two most popular VR systems available today.
Use Experience mode to judge the performance of a system with your own eyes. VR headsets use clever techniques to compensate for missed frames. Even when the frame rate is low, you may be surprised by the quality of the VR experience. Take your time and explore in VR or on your monitor.
DirectX 12 benchmark for VR
Cyan Room is a DirectX 12 benchmark. It features a large, complex scene and many eye-catching effects. Cyan Room shows how using an API with less overhead can help developers deliver impressive VR experiences even on modest PC systems.

The high bar for future hardware
The Blue Room is the most demanding VRMark test. It's ideal for benchmarking the latest graphics cards. With its massive 5K rendering resolution and spectacular volumetric lighting effects, the Blue Room sets the bar for future hardware generations.
