VRMark is a benchmark designed specifically with virtual reality gaming in mind. Futuremark say: ‘the performance requirements for VR games are much higher than for typical PC games. So if you’re thinking about buying an HTC Vive or an Oculus Rift, wouldn’t it be good to know that your PC is ready for VR? VRMark includes two VR benchmark tests that run on your monitor, no headset required, or on a connected HMD. At the end of each test, you’ll see whether your PC is VR ready, and if not, how far it falls short.’
A new addition to our benchmarking suite, VRMark looks like one of the few valid ways of testing the VR capabilities of a PC. Consisting of two ‘rooms’, or benchmark tests, the Orange Room is the standard test, while the Blue Room is much more demanding.
The GTX 1060 is a VR-ready card, so it easily passes the Orange Room test. However, I have never seen any card pass the Blue Room test. I even tried it out with my personal system (i7-5820K, GTX 1080 SLI) and even that failed!
Dominic can I ask what’s with the fingerprints again? It’s a case with a glass window, did it arrive like that or is that from handling? It’s hugely obvious even on the main picture on the title page and if it arrived like that it’s a QA issue, I wouldn’t be very happy with it.
Secondly who the hell names a PC after Len Goodman’s Catchphrase from Strictly Come Dancing, every time you switch it on does it shout SEVEN!!!!!
It does use an i5.
lol I could edit my post but where’s the fun in that?. Everytime I See that I think 6700k. I was probably the only person in the world who cheered when AMD called it’s top GPU the Fury X, now that’s a real name, a name someone who is fond of the odd whisky or two can remember. With an entire Oxford English Dictionary of words I think we should lobby for real names then I can ask my Wife for the new Intel Xylophone for my birthday.
I believe it arrived like that although I could not be sure in the slightest
