HTC Vive PC specs + SteamVR performance test tool

It tries to automatically scale up the settings to take advantage of power. So framerates aren't everything.

Big Kepler ain't looking so hot in Steam VR...

My body system is ready, if not my wallet.

My 670 gets 0.9 at 1200 and 1.6 at 1333 MHz.

Stock R9 390 and 6700K appear fine.

This test seems to be somewhat not consistent at times. I've scored anywhere from 9.2-10.2 in it so far. It might have to do when I've ran it as far as fresh boot, wake from sleep, rig sleeping overnight etc.

Never really tried using FRAPS much but figured out how it works.

Test run was for 1 minute after the room was populated with stuff.

No expert but looks decent to me for multi-gpu.

My poor 7950 is not ready 🙂

Single card vs crossfire comparison.

Although it looks to be fully funcitonal it's not living up to it's true potential currently. Not much of a boost it looks like as far as fps go. Running 4790k at 4.4GHz currently. Tried bumping up to 4.6GHz to see if it was cpu limited which it wasn't. Guess it's better than nothing and doesn't really look to effect user experience at all.

Edit: Just read Crossfire/SLI are disable by default....AMD is using LiquidVR during the test. Sounds correct? Guess it explains why the results are very similar except overall score and a fps boost.

Be running an almost idle vbox in the background

haswell 4770 + 780gtx == 4.4

:-/ .. stil on the 'right' side of "Capable" ..

Mine can't be the only one that pegs it at 11 the whole time on here.

Lol. I was having a "Discussion" on this board not longer than a couple of weeks ago and some very "well informed" forumites were insisting that LiquidVR and Gameworks VR weren't going to make any difference and they wouldnt be in in time. I said SteamVR would make use of them.

Lo and behold.

I have to turn off my wing monitors to go from capable to ready. It doesn't seem to like my 2560 + 3440 + 2560 x 1440 driven by a single 290.

I ran the Steam benchmark last night cause I'm seriously thinking about picking up the HTC Vive and my i7 6700, Radeon R390, SSDs, and 16GB RAM got a score of 7.5 with no frames below 90, and the graph looked to be an average between high and very high. The FPS counter mostly hovered somewhere near 105-110.

I guess I'd have to set it up in my living room and I'm not sure where exactly the room tracking laser things would go but I'm assuming it would work. I told myself, though, that I'd have to sell some of the crap I have laying around (computer parts, laptops, humidifier, etc) before I can purchase it. It would be nice to get it off a sale; I should put an alert on Slickdeals for it now that I think of it.
