Is this benchmark bugged?

My System: RX 5700XT 8GB, Ryzen 2950X (16C/32T), 32GB RAM, HP Reverb G2v2.

My benchmark result? 7.2 FPS.

What's going on here? I play mostly SkyrimVR and Elite: Dangerous in VR. Neither of those seem to have any issues along with many other games. What is it about OpenXR that makes my setup perform so poorly?

Can you post a screenshot of your result? Maybe I can spot something weird. Also, do you reliably get to 7.2 FPS every time you run it? Have you tried a PC restart?

I have rebooted and also disabled everything I can (fpsVR, overlays, etc.). Having done that I was able to once get to ~10.44fps but it's consistently below that. I have also switch between the MS OpenXR and Steam OpenXR. Steam performs slightly better than MS. Not sure how to post a screen shot but you can find my results here:

edit: I have also updated to the latest Radeon drivers but that brought no improvement. I only install the bare drivers and none of their bloatware.

Ok. I am a bit surprised you mention OpenXR. The benchmark does not support OpenXR, it uses OpenVR. I assume you meant OpenVR and just wrote OpenXR.

Looking at other results in the thread, it seems that a RTX 3080 ti seems to get around 33.65 FPS using the same headset you use. Compared to your 10.44 fps, that is 3.22x as much. In Non-VR benchmarks, a 3080 ti is roughly 2.3x faster than your RX 5700XT. So there is a bit of a discrepancy between the 3.2x and 2.3x, but it's also not super big. AMD is generally known to have less optimized drivers for VR than Nvidia, so that likely is just where much of the difference is coming from.

VR, especially on a very high resolution headset like the HP Reverg G2, is very VRAM-heavy, and VRAM speed is also where AMD GPUs are the most weak compared to current Nvidia GPUs.

So I think your result roughly matches what one would expect that GPU to get in this benchmark then.
