Basemark has launched what it calls the "world's first comprehensive VR benchmark". VRScore PC is designed to quantify PC and Head Mounted Display (HMD) rendering performance and latency in Virtual Reality (VR) applications. The benchmarking application supports both DirectX 12 and 11.

As you can see for the screen shots/video, the benchmark tests systems by gauging their performance in a "game-like workload" developed by Crytek. The screens you see are from a Crytek CRYENGINE project called Codename: Skyharbor. Other parties that helped develop VRScore PC include AMD, Intel and Nvidia.

Jon Peddie, President and founder of Jon Peddie Research, talked about how he was very happy to be able to use the new Basemark VRScore PC benchmark. "Evaluating how good a VR system is, can only be done by keeping tabs on the latency because people notice even the smallest of delays between what?s displayed on the screen and what the brain expects. If there?s a disconnect, most people report they get nauseated or worse," explained Mr Peddie. He went on to describe VRScore PC as a "robust tool for measuring latency," which will help set standards for improved VR systems.
