VR PC Performance Guides

VR needs a stable frame rate for each eye and has less tolerance for missed frames than ordinary monitor play. Headset resolution, refresh rate, render scale, tracking, and reprojection all affect the final experience.

Use these pages as a planning starting point, then test with the actual headset runtime and connection method. Do not compare generated or reprojected frames directly with fully rendered native frames.

Open the game you actually plan to play, replace the preloaded example with your own CPU, GPU, resolution, and settings, then compare one change at a time. Read the estimate as a planning range rather than a promise.

Confirm the result with a repeatable in-game scene. Patches, drivers, cooling, laptop power limits, RAM configuration, background software, mods, and the selected map or save can all change measured performance.
