ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1080 Gaming A8G Review

Futuremark's new VRMark benchmark is the latest addition to our test suite. The recently-released benchmark aims to score GPUs based on their VR performance potential by using rendering resolutions associated with VR devices of today and the future.

The Orange Room test compresses the scores for high-end graphics cards and shows that many of today's options are capable of delivering a solid experience for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift-type resolutions (2264×1348 test resolution). Blue Room and its 5120×2880 rendering resolution, on the other hand, is an absolute killer for graphics cards but it does show tangible gains when stepping up through the performance hierarchies.

ASUS' ROG STRIX GTX 1080 A8G is very close to the performance of Gigabyte's factory-overclocked board in both tests and also manages to outperform the GTX 1080 FE in the more-demanding Blue Room run.
