Check Your PC's VR Viability With Valve's 'SteamVR Performance Test'

I doubt older hardware does either.
I am willing to put it to the test though.

and i am more than willing to read the test results 😀 i don't have a good enough gpu to test it with and would have to add in a new psu and such to support the better card. the old psu is tapped out with the 270 in it now. if you have a 980 ti to check it out with, that would be pretty awesome to see what happens.

I do actually.
I'll see if I can get the Q6600 system up and running this weekend. I just need to find a hard drive that isn't full. lol.

Lol I got downvoted for pointing out a clear problem with the program. What an awesome community we have here at tom's.

Ran my first test with i5 2500k @ 4ghz and GTX 970 Stock (1253Mhz GPU and 7000Mhz Memory) and got 6.6 for a score, Ready with no frames dropped below 90FPS.
Run the test again after overclocking the 970 to 1375mhz and 7900 Mhz on the memory and it scores a 4.6 Medium score with no frame drops below 90FPS. Lol. What a stupid program.
Value = 0

Your overclock may be somewhat unstable, causing the frame rates to dip lower than it did. It could also be causing frametime issues, which the test is measuring closely.
The framerate never dips below 90, but if the timing between frames isn't smooth it will negatively affect VR performance.

@uglyduckling81 It may take frame times in to account as kcarbotte said.

No need to harp on the entire toms community because 1 person down voted you, it was 1 person.
