And it is important to be aware of VR performance since poorly delivered frames will actually make a VR experience quite unpleasant and the user can even become VR sick.

OCAT, Performance Mon, Afterburner, and other PC benching software do not accurately report nor measure what the user experiences in the HMD. Fraps only measures the framerate of the desktop window, not what appears in the HMD so the performance that a userВ sees in the desktop window is not a valid proxy forВ the experience in the HMD.

To compound the difficulties of benchmarking the Rift, there are additional complexities because of the way it uses a type of frame reprojection called asynchronous space warp (ASW) to keep framerates steady at either 90 FPSВ or at 45В FPS.Д«oth NVIDIA and AMD agree that Fraps benchmarking only provides a slightВ correlation between what the user actually experiences and what is displayed by the Windows desktop. Until NVIDIA released FCAT VR in March, there was no universally acknowledged way to accurately benchmark the Oculus Rift as there areВ no SDK logging tools available. Here is our Oculus Rift VR set-up with the Touch Controllers And the FCAT generated charts will be clearly able to show the performance difference between competing video cards. In this part 2, we will go into more depth as we attempt to perform accurate video VR benchmarking, and by using NVIDIAвЂ™s FCAT VR, we believe that we will be able to convey to BTRвЂ™s readers an accurate sense of what is actually happening in the HMD while VR benchmarks are being run. We used the few synthetic benchmarking tools thenВ available to roughly compare video card performance of nine AMD and NVIDIA video cards. In part 1 of our evaluation, we gaveВ an overview of Virtual Reality (VR) and looked at the complexities of Oculus Rift VR benching. The Oculus DeBug Tool can be displayed as on overlay in the HMD to show the latency, the app frame rate and performance headroom, and the application and compositor frame rate statistics. 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 DDR4В at 3333MHz. For each of our six test video cards, we will use Showdown to compare NVIDIAвЂ™s FCAT-generated frametime graphs and performance results directly with the Oculus Performance DeBug tool overlay running in real time in our videos.

ДЇortunately, NVIDIA has recently released FCAT VRВ as an accurate VR benching tool that we will compare with our own video benchmarking which usesВ 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.

SinceВ BabelTechReviews purchased an Oculus Rift last December, we have been playing 27 VR games using six top NVIDIA and AMDВ video cards, and we haveВ completed performance benchmarking for Showdown, Alice VR, Batman Arkham VR, Chronos, DiRT Rally, Robo Recall, and Serious Sam: The Last Hope.
