“Welcome to 2026!

Since the 13 video Wireless PC VR Course was uploaded [2 years in the making], I've been working relentlessly on creating a new VR specific bench testing methodology.

Using Virtual Desktop, OCR, Open Office, a 4K X capture card, and a camera, I've found a way to record accurate and repeatable VR measurements with no performance loss in VR.

This means because my PC and headset are completely free from the performance hit of screen recording, they operate at full capacity. So we get a true representation of PC and Wi-Fi performance in a wireless PCVR game.

Virtual Desktop is the best way to play PC VR games, and recording benchmarks this way means a few things:

1. We can use the VDXR runtime where a game supports it, so not limited to SteamVR's slow ass runtime. Why watch Linux benchmarks when you game on Windows?

2. We get avg/min/max values for game, encoding, network, and decoding latency to compare where exactly performance is being hit hardest.

3. Real time fps and bitrate values that accurately represent what you will experience in VR.

4. Hardware avg/min/max temps. loads, and power draw.

5. The results you can expect from gaming using Virtual Desktop!

Essentially, this all allows me to create charts in a video that compare how different VR games and pieces of PC hardware all perform against each other, with real world accuracy I haven't seen before.

On that note, there's 2 videos to start this year off and they'll take 2-4 weeks to get uploaded. One is the 1st episode of The Grid VR for 2026, the other is an 'RTX 4090 vs RTX 5090 for VR' video.

How the hell do I have those 2 cards? To be completely transparent, I don't. I have one of them, and the other has to be sold before I pay for the other one. Saved over the 5 year break to buy a 4090 a year ago, and the market is so fkd right now they're going used for more than I paid new. Nabbed a 5090 before the price went up at a retailer so it's almost break even. Selling the 4090 after the video is done. It's a risk, but hopefully worth it!

That video, and The Grid VR will return shortly, scripts are well under way :]
