Valve has just released their new Steam VR Benchmark Test. Let's see how well AMD's R9 Fury X and Nvidia's GTX 980Ti perform in this new benchmark test.

Read more on Steam's SteamVR benchmark.
 
I got the Spinal Tap score of 11 too, although only 12907 frames tested.

More interestingly it only used one of the available 980Ti's, I expected it to use both.
 
Forget the scores and whatnot for a moment.. is this benchmark even reliable? Is it actually representive of what we should be able to do with VR or just for Vive/steam supported games?

No SLI or C/F support
Runs at low resolution and does not look sharp
Perfers high VRAM speed to brute power
Does not really test the CPU

So no I don't think it is a reliable benchmark.

I've run the test on my 980 at stock and with an OC.

Stock:


With OC:


Running a 4670k, not that it seems it effects the score much what cpu is being used.
 
Stock 4790k and a middling overclock on a 290x lightning

Will try with a cpu overclock and a heavy gpu overclock when I can be bothered and see if it makes a difference
