SteamVR Performance Test

:confused:

I've run the test several times now and get the same 10+ score each time and GPU usage in afterburner monitor is showing both of my 970's splitting the rendering at about 40-50% each.

You have limited the frame rate to 60fps?

The testing of performance is based on rendering at 90fps+, and how frequently that it drops below that..

Quite right, but raising it to the 90fps still puts me well above whats needed with headroom to spare:

..anyway the only point I was making is that its now effectively using SLI, which it wasn't doing when first released.
 
Mine runs with 1 card (~1369 MHz) at 100% usage and the others at idle clocks - Get around 125 fps during most of the test which results in a score of ~7.
 
Been playing with my OC settings to see what gains could be had. Some very good results by increasing the memory clock speeds!

Don't know :D
This is the latest version, now the test even ask me if i want to share the result with valve! Well, of course i want to share it :D
 
Tested on both my systems a couple of days ago without overclocks, the 295X2 seems to handle it pretty good :)

Pretty similar to other 980ti results. I have a gigabyte gaming overclocked by 100, so it runs base 1252, but actually closer to 1500.

The processor is not overclocked.

Ran the test just before and after installing the new drivers. Interesting.

I am so gutted, that I only heard about this VR kit AFTER I bought a gaming laptop, which cant run VR through HDMI:(

Can you not force Steam VR to test using the NVidia card in the same way you'd tell it to use it for games? Or disable the gfx switching and run purely through the NVidia? Might that help?
 
The test itself was using the nvidia to run the program and do all the heavy work, the issue is that it then runs it through the onboard to get to the HDMI. I believe, from what I have read, that this is what slows it down too much. I am hoping the mini display port, is direct to GPU and doesnt use the onboard at all.
 
Just out of interest what are people's real world experiences. From memory my 970 i5 scored 7.8 and I've tried all sorts on VR and it's been rock solid
 
Hmm just decided (as my GPU is dying and I will need another) to run this test on my PC. Does this mean (as long as i have the right ports), that I can get away with just upgrading my GPU and not have to change anything?? 8GB RAM.
