VR Discussions, Questions & Feedback

Im so close to jumping into the PCL but a little worried about performance, on the G2 i run AMS2 at 3400x33xx and it runs very well, so im wondering if i ran the PCL at the same resolution would it actually look any better? If i ran the PCL natively im sure im going to run into GPU limitations (4090 here).

 

I had the G2 for about a year before switching to the Crystal (original version). The lenses are clearer in the Crystal with less glare, so the Crystal seems a bit clearer/sharper than the G2.
Beware that Pimax's quality control is not the best, so some owners have been unfortunate and got lenses that (although clear) seem a bit like wearing glasses with the wrong prescription, or like the focal plane is a little too close.

I'm fairly happy with my Crystal, but I miss the wide FOV of my Pimax 5k+ even though those lenses hurt my eyes when wearing for longer sessions. I'm not sure what headset to go for next, there are plenty good ones on the horizon now, although all of the serious simmer headsets other than the PCL are expensive. I might wait it out until the Valve Deckard or the next generation of headsets.

I run my Pimax Crystal at 50% resolution which is around 2700-ish pixels. At that level I can clearly see the pixels, especially on long lines such as guard rails, but I love being able to run 120Hz with no frame drops.

 

Thanks for moving my post, so much less visible here.

Thanks mate. Yeah I've heard about the quality issues so will keep my eyes on that, haha
So at like for like resolution the PCL looks better mainly because of the lenses and not pixel density from the panels?

 

With a PSVR2?

 

Sounds great but you payed a tremendous amount of money for this card. Anyway, congrats with your new toy.

 

Can anyone else chime on on the G2 to PCL upgrade if running 3400x33xx on each?
Does the PCL looks clearer in the distance even set at this lower resolution?

 

I love mine.Its definitely and upgrade over the G2. I dont have mine turned down though. Plan on getting the DMAS headphones but I did just see a mod that you can use the G2 headphones on it but i havent tried it yet.

 

Mod! What where ? Link please
Maybe this, seems easy and perfect.

Yes thats the one i saw.

 

I got my pico 4 running automobilista 2 and it's great. But I'm having a hard time tuning the options. I have a 3070 and an i5 9600k. The headset monitor is showing the encode and frametime in red. What could be the issue?
In my research online, I found things like fixed foveated rendering and space warping, but didn't find these setings anywhere.
Any tips or advices?
