The verdict
A free, quick benchmark of VR readiness from the early Vive era. It's outdated and often tests the wrong GPU, so skip it if you have a laptop or a modern headset.
Great for
Desktop owners with one GPU who want a fast, free rough check before buying a VR headset
Main risk
It tests the integrated GPU or gives outdated results, so you may misjudge your PC's VR readiness.
