VRMark Advanced Edition
The performance requirements for VR games are much higher than for typical PC games. So if you're developing content for the HTC Vive or an Oculus Rift, you will need to do so on a PC that can cope with the added load.
VRMark includes three VR benchmark tests. You can run the tests 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.
We performed our tests with the middle Cyan Room run. This is a DirectX 12 benchmark. It features a large, complex scene and many eye-catching effects. Cyan Room shows how using an API with less overhead can help developers deliver impressive VR experiences even on modest PC systems.
This is a much more positive result for AMD. The Radeon Pro W5500 trounces the P2200, with 64 per cent faster performance. It's also extremely easy to add VR support to the Radeon Pro drivers via direct Steam integration for systems such as the HTC Vive. So VR is a clear strength for AMD.
