All these GTX 980 Ti benchmarks aren't surprising that they pass. Really interesting is the GTX 780 and HD 7970s aren't passing though. I assume they're looking for performance at very high resolutions? Seems like AMD's latest high-end GPUs will have a bit of an advantage if that's the case.
How dare they!

Interesting to see that they don't seem to mind the Intel Pentium you have there. I guess CPU requirements aren't too high.
I actually really like the Pentiums. I have a G3258 and it's loads of fun and plenty capable of most anything.

Edit: Well, this is interesting. We'll try newer drivers, I guess? Going from 361.75 to 361.91. Kind of wondering if it's forcing g-sync/v-sync.
Edit 2: Yep. Driver update did the trick.
Edit 3: This system is a Sager NP9870-S.

I suppose it is finally time to upgrade?

So basically this app asks 3 questions of your system:

1: Are you running XP?
2: Are you running anything less than a 290?
3: Does your PC have a processor that does things in it?

Shall try that when I get home and see what happens. I don't really update my drivers, ever.

EDIT: I know nothing will happen, but still!
 
That was with only one card anyways. Nvidia's VR tech is supposed to use each card to render an eye later down the road.

Was wondering why it only used one of my 980tis.

I'm pretty sure this test is almost 100% GPU bound BTW.
 
NOT READY! :D
Frames below 90 fps: 53%

(then again ... still waiting for pascal/polaris for my new computer...)
 
AMDs new driver seems to enable multi-GPU. Single GPU for comparison.

Updating to the latest driver made no difference. The test still says my GPU is too weak.
 
780 Ti once faster than 290X now even heavily OC @ 1301Mhz still fall behind R9-290 with little OC.

 
oh well ....

@xvi PS: driver 359.00 ... sooooo driver do something?

@Toothless : nope the 780 is not on par with the R9 290 ... it's the 780Ti (just like the 980Ti to 980, it's not the same animal )

Seems to take OC's into account. Nice healthy bump I guess.

No SLI support :( , no overclock applied.
 
Going from 359.00 drivers to 361.91 didn't help performance, just benched it again.
 
Not bad for a six year old cpu,did better then i thought it would.

Looks like my old junk also can handle some VR. I can confirm this test has no sli support as of right now. Only load on one GPU. My result would have been better if SLI is supported. Hope it comes over time.

My result:
