Your GPU is 4080, probably not worth to update CPU. I updated from 7800x3D to 9800x3D only to match 5090. And honestly I didn’t have chance to compare the difference.

I have same issue with Super. A bit annoying.

This is my 1st Pimax product I ever used. Previously Quest 3 and other VR headsets you could see from my signature. I just reset contrast from 50 to 0 and to see how’s the change in game. It was set for compensation to visual lost by slower data stream.

My Super also has noticeable mura but no noticeable tiger stripe or overblooming in any games I ‘ve tried so far…incl DCS. Mura is not deal breaker for me yet. I will try again and play DCS for more time before reporting back.

FYI. I just upgraded to Crystal Super. Even with some known shortcomings, still it's a great option for simmers for its all-in-one design, forvead rendering, big FOV and high clarify. In trial period now, will decide if to keep or return it in 2 wks.

Thanks for sort of updating. Could we expect release within this year?

I ordered a next gen VR headset(5K per eye) and also look for GPU upgrade recently. Found a few YouTubers have 50+% of perf gain from 4090 with ultra high rendering res setting(~5000-6000 Res). Also saw similar feedback from VR Discord who received their 5090. No matter how true is that, to me (still on 3090), it is not IF but HOW to get a 5090 without paying a fortune to a scalper. I guess it would be a much easier decision to all VR users if 5090 dropped to its MSRP.

MRTV ‘s 1st impression on production version of Pimax Super is just released. Will keep my preorder till full reviews by multiple independent YouTubers in a week or two. MeganeX seems great as well especially outstanding contract and tiny form, but much smaller FOV, lack of eye tracking and inside-out… Looking forward to see some side by side comparison by sim reviewers then.

Thanks. Just saw both replay. No reason to cancel my order yet. But will keen to see other full reviews without OEM aside.

Mainly use VR for sim while still using a 32 inch 4K @ 60Hz for AAA and work occasionally. Bigger screen would be a burden to my neck and higher refresh rate would compete budget against GPU and premium VR headset. Of cause, it’s my personal preference.

Got what you are saying. But unfortunately current FG is only doing decent smoothing with 40-60 of original fps or it would be a mess.

Agree with you. Don’t resist a new tech when it’s still premature. DLSS came to VR not long time ago and only this V4 seems promising to VR. The same to FG, a lot of people call it fake frame which is still an evolving tech and getting much better than 1st gen which came with much worse latency, isn’t it?

I disagree. No one said we need an exact date. ED publicly announced its effort on Vulkan from 2019 if not earlier. Now it’s 2025. Nobody said it’s easy for graphic engine’s overhaul. But keep silent after so many yrs? Couldn’t the massage be estimated windows like 1H 2025? Q4 2025? Many companies would maintain a roadmap which could be changed time to time. ED did similar way with its 202X and beyond. Keeping silent is opposite to Wag’s message from his recent video which I like a lot. And it’s not shame to share what kind of major challenges blocking the road and an updated target time line. That’s callled transparent and often adapted by some major companies.

Wish so. ED promised to be more transparent and improving communication this year. Look forward regular update on this again. I know they will face pressure when they say anything. But facing instead of dodging should be right way, isn’t it?

Disappointed for delay again while agreeing this is right thing to do. Public beta shall be properly done prior to any new product release and production shipment. Still looking for Pimax solved all those issues and ship out headsets in decent quality and customer experience. Or massive return would be the worst case. Still keep positive and keep the pre-order. Anyway 5090/5080 is not likely available in 2 month for sufficient supply.
