Basemark will release the VRScore which enables evaluation of PC VR-readiness. The benchmark suite includes a performance test that stresses your system’s capabilities and a latency test that measures your HMD’s display latency. Basemark partnered with Crytek to create a high-resolution animated sequence called “Skyharbor” that simulates a virtual reality experience. The VRScore benchmark runs the Skyharbor scene to stress test the GPU and CPU and provides a score that can be compared against other hardware configurations. Basemark worked with AMD, Intel, and Nvidia to ensure that the test works on all hardware platforms.
Basemark released the commercial versions of VRScore on 30th January and the free and professional versions of Basemark is planned to be available in Q2 2017.
