In their own words
OpenVR Benchmark
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.
