Those thinking about taking the leap into virtual reality should keep an eye out for an upcoming VR benchmark tool from Basemark and Crytek.
The pair are working together to create “a definitive PC system test for virtual reality gaming” which aims to enable gamers and PC hardware companies to easily assess the level of experience they can expect when running virtual reality content.
The tool will provide detailed feedback in areas such as the best graphical settings to use with a variety of VR headsets.
Crytek’s Creative Director for CRYENGINE, Frank Vitz, said: “Basemark is already helping to measure technology standards in other areas of gaming, and we’re thrilled to be partnering with them as we work to establish a user-friendly yardstick for VR performance. We believe CRYENGINE can become a go-to tool for developers looking to create compelling VR experiences, and this partnership means players can also count on CRYENGINE as they evaluate whether their PC is ready for the most advanced, cutting-edge VR content available.”
With VR headsets set to hit the market soon, the tool could prove useful for those deciding which device is right for their particular setup.
