OpenVR Benchmark is a free and easy-to-use tool for testing VR hardware performance, providing valuable data for users.
It allows users to compare their VR performance against others through a leaderboard, enhancing the benchmarking experience.
The benchmark runs inside the headset, offering a unique perspective on VR performance that is not commonly found in other tools.

The tool has been reported to have inconsistent results, crashes, and compatibility issues, particularly with certain VR headsets like the Oculus Quest 2.
Some users feel misled by the marketing, as the leaderboard feature requires a paid DLC, making the tool seem less free than advertised.
There are concerns about the quality of the benchmark's visuals and its reliability in accurately reflecting hardware performance.

The optimization aspect of the game is highly regarded for its ability to accurately assess VR performance directly within the headset, making it an essential tool for VR enthusiasts. While it provides valuable insights into system performance and allows for comparisons against others, some users noted mixed results depending on their hardware setup, with a desire for more detailed feedback on performance bottlenecks. Overall, it effectively highlights the importance of CPU performance in VR compared to traditional gaming.
- “Released on December 20, 2019, this bad boy is your go-to for assessing your VR performance where it counts—in the headset itself.”
- “Specializing in VR and graphical performance, these devs know how to squeeze every last drop of juice out of your rig.”
- “It's really nice that OpenVR is around to provide some comparisons for general performance for VR.”
- “Performance-wise, OpenVR Benchmark is a mixed bag depending on your setup.”
- “What it confirmed for me is that the Oculus software is a bloatfest, and running it wireless vs Oculus Link results in about a 20% performance increase with that bad service not running and only through SteamVR.”
- “After the benchmark, I received the message 'this result is below average for this GPU/headset config' with no further explanation. I really wish it would tell me what is bottlenecking my performance with a 1080 Ti.”

- “I repeat, every scenery has far better graphic quality than the Minecraft-like scenery!”
- “When you play the free open benchmark tool online, your PC has to render different kinds of scenery with varying graphic quality; you also have to play a sort of 3D mini-game.”
