VRMark and Superposition Benchmark

VRMark is a relatively new benchmark aimed at those that might be thinking about buying an HTC Vive or an Oculus Rift and knowing what hardware will give them the best VR gaming experience. VRMark includes two VR benchmark tests that run 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 used the Cyan Room to benchmark our cards as it is a DirectX 12 benchmark. Sitting between the Orange and Blue Rooms, 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. The target frame rate for the Cyan Room benchmark when running in desktop mode is 109 FPS. The rendering resolution is 2264 1348, which is 1132 1348 per eye.

Benchmark Results: The EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 XC Gaming came in with a score of 7,885, which is just behind the 8,077 points that we scored on the Titan Xp! Pretty impressive results.

Superposition Benchmark

UNIGINE introduced the Superposition Benchmark in April 2017 and it contains a benchmark based on the UNIGINE 2 Engine that is pretty tough on modern graphics cards.

We ran the Superposition Benchmark performance test with the 1080P Extreme preset.

The EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 XC Gaming scored 5,342 points on Superposition and that makes is 61% faster than the GeForce GTX 1070 FE and 38% faster than the GeForce GTX 1080 FE.

Here are the FPS results from the benchmark for those that would like more details. The EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 XC was able to average 40 FPS, the 2080 FE averaged 50 FPS and then the flagship 2080 Ti came in at nearly 65 FPS.
