Try some of the VR benchmarks, like VR Mark Orange room, and there's also one for Steam VR.

 

My suspicion is the system is close to the absolute minimum... might get away with it, might not. Note the Rift has lower requirements than the Vive.

Nope. It can barely scrape by, I would not risk it.

I'm running my CPU at 3.75 GHz, GPU at 1.12 GHz, and RAM at 1.833 GHz. Will the overclock help my system performance during VR?
