    Watt a bright deal

  • Salmando on 10/01/2020 - 10:08

    Sounds great on paper

  • ca6leguy on 10/01/2020 - 10:14

    Issue is can your PC handle that.

    If you're considering dropping 900 bucks on this you probably already know, but it doesn't come with headphones, controllers, or base stations. It uses the same tracking system as the Vive/Index, so you can probably buy some cheap used OG Vive kit off gumtree to salvage the lighthouses and wands from.

    Pixel count is 30% lower than the HP Reverb / 60% higher than the Valve Index, but stretched across a much larger field of view.

      Stretched across a large FoV isn't the nicest way to put it.

      The large FoV is amazing and transforms VR into something completely different.

      I wouldn't bother with a low FoV headset ever again.

        "Not the nicest way to put it"? Did I offend the headset? Heh.

        Each pixel in this headset covers an area of one's view about 2.4 times as large as each pixel in the HP Reverb… What would you describe that as?

        I wasn't making any judgements on whether it's nice or not to have a larger field of view at the expense of resolution. It was just a factual statement about the size of each pixel to point out that there is such a tradeoff involved.

          Its different pixel density, but the Pimax already has great pixel density, or lack of screen door effect.

          Simply having more pixels doesn't really make it any better at this point.

          • v8o on 10/01/2020 - 18:17

            @samfisher5986: SDE is not the only thing preventing VR headsets from having a clear image. Pixel fill rates matter for SDE, but not for resolution or aliasing. Not seeing the black borders between pixels doesn't make each pixel look smaller.

            Not even the Reverb looks as good as a 1080p monitor, so we're definitely not in "more pixels don't make it better" territory yet.

      • unifex on 10/01/2020 - 15:39

        Its exactly correct. Means you can't directly compare pixel numbers as each pixel is covering a large area. Consequently you need a higher pixel density to get the same coverage over a wider FOV.

  • ca6leguy on 10/01/2020 - 10:16

    NVIDIA GTX 1070 can’t handle that. It only barely handles the lower resolution VR.

      Actually a 1070 can handle it fine. Don't spread misinformation.

      • incipient on 10/01/2020 - 11:00

        I'm running a 1070 and I can make it struggle at 1080p haha. Would depend entirely on how demanding the vr application was. I do realise the vast majority are pretty simple graphics wise, but I expect the odd game could well cap out the GPU.

        • Jugganautx on 10/01/2020 - 11:22

          The forest being one of them

        • coprocessor8087 on 10/01/2020 - 12:02

          1070 max-q cannot handle it.

        • samfisher5986 on 10/01/2020 - 12:02

          The odd game can easily stress a 2080 or even a 2080ti.

          Most games are modified to be less intensive on the GPU, or have lower settings.

        Try Assetto Corsa and come back to me with your misinformation.

    Ive got this headset and absolutely love it. Its minimal screen door effect is very well suited to simulation type games where you need to focus on 'long distances'.

    Like with most headsets now, the limitations are your PC. Im patiently waiting for the 3080ti.

    Id recommend this headset to anyone thats a bit techy, or doesnt mind getting frustrated on the pc every now and again, trying to make it all work. Pimax software has been improved even though it has had its hurdles, and their customer service is very average (not to western standards, but they do try).
    The Valve index would be a lot more "plug n play", however i can vouch for the 5k+ and looking forward to their future developments.

    • samfisher5986 on 10/01/2020 - 12:03

      I will point out that its not a perfect headset.

      It has small issues either relating to software bugs, or just flaws in the headset design, which the Index has as well due to the canted displays.

      The benefits easily outweigh the negative thoughs, Oculus etc are garbage compared to Pimax.

  • spazattack91 on 10/01/2020 - 11:21

    Amazon is best for returns. I would never go back to Vive now as the fov on the headset is fantastic. It runs most games acceptably on a 1080 too. I would not recommend for the casual user as it is not plug and play. It is also the least comfortable headset I've tried and you need to have a Vive Das and 3d printing. I've also struggled to find a comfortable face cushion for it to. Still worth it if you love to tinker and are a vr enthusiast.
