3DMark vs OpenVR Benchmark

3DMark benchmarks gaming performance across PCs, Macs, notebooks, tablets, and smartphones. It scans hardware and recommends a suitable benchmark, then lets users compare scores with systems using the same CPU and GPU combination. Tests include ray tracing, DirectX and Vulkan graphics benchmarks, CPU Profile tests, and GPU stress tests. Charts show CPU and GPU temperatures, clock speeds, and frame-rate changes during a run. The software also estimates frame rates for a selection of popular games to connect benchmark results with game performance. A separately purchased Storage Benchmark DLC measures SSD and other storage hardware using gaming activities. Free editions are listed for iOS and Android. The Windows and macOS edition is a one-time purchase listed at $34.99; a Windows edition sold through Epic Games is also listed at $34.99 as a one-time purchase. Enterprise features include command-line automation, offline results, XML export, commercial-use licensing, Testdriver compatibility, and priority email and phone support. The minimum listed Windows requirement is Windows 10 64-bit, a dual-core 1.8 GHz CPU, 4 GB memory, and DirectX 11 graphics.

OpenVR Benchmark is a Windows game that measures VR performance by rendering a repeatable test inside a VR headset. A run takes about 60 seconds and produces a score that is automatically compared with results from users who have the same GPU and headset. It ignores headset tracking and renders the same view each time, while shared SteamVR performance settings such as supersampling still apply. The benchmark supports SteamVR-compatible headsets, and controllers are not required. It is controlled with a mouse at a desktop monitor, and wearing the headset during a run is optional. Results can be exported as PNG images or copied as formatted text. The core benchmark is free. An optional Leaderboard DLC costs 329.00 EUR once and adds a full results leaderboard with hardware details, rank, and the option to submit a name. Listed minimum requirements include Windows 7 or newer, a 64-bit system, an AVX CPU, 4 GB RAM, a 3 GB GPU, DirectX 11, 4 GB storage, SteamVR, a keyboard, and a mouse.
