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.

Same doubts here. Anyone noticed any graphics which only Vulcan could produce?

Wow! Glad to hear ED team is eyeing on the latest DLSS tech. Before GPU performance leap for a few gens, DLSS4 could be the saver of DCS graphics performance which is one of big road blockers to many enthusiasts who has no deep pocket. Any rough estimation on the timing of public release?

Also saw this preview. Love to see more such preview or reviews with DCS before shipment of mine. Not necessary rely on or hate a specific view sharing. Actually this guy said he owns 4 or 5 popular headset in Discord forum. And he spent much more time to try it even dial some setting to ensure it’s correctly set for DCS. He did address MRTV’s negative impression to pre-production units. Acknowledging distortion indeed which to be optimized with profile so it’s SW issue. Mura is there indeed which is HW with panel and could be mitigated significantly by setting brightness down to 97% and binocular overlap 85%+ … he didn’t mention warping … Will look for other’s comment with actual experience. Looks quite optimistic for now. Will keep my money till those confirmed by more reviewers upon formal shipping. Isn’t it good for our simmers to have one more option with high end headset which is much anticipated? Hope Pimax can make it right with Super regardless its deep learning curve.

Noticed that video and was quite anxious until I saw this one. Suggest to hold a bit longer until more solid review released. I wish Pimax could eventually make this Super right so we have one more great product to choose. Here is another source of 1st impression on Super and seems quite positive, from TallyMouse a YTber. https://discord.com/channels/1308722730736029777/1308722934042464287/1327273639808208916

Though I saw that specific video and share same feeling that sort of connection between his comments and not received a OEM device for review. But overall, I still enjoy his most of videos which are sim dedicated ones.

Keep trying best! I do enjoy. And plan to purchase 2 modules (OH58 and a map) soon to award myself meanwhile supporting ED.

You may submit a ticket and they should be able to confirm according. I was told that better to wait till actual shipping date of 57ppd ready when any reviews available. Really need official guidance how to choose between 57ppd and 50ppd with pros and cons, and also some reviews by 3rd party to compare both QLED headset in sim. Honestly I don’t know whether 50ppd is better choice indeed…other than tradeoff between FOV and PPD. It’s bet to pick for now.

It’s quite understandable to have last minute change as the nature of any complex project like this beloved sim software. Glad to have a planned date though wish for a bit of early notice (at lease 1 wk?) instead of 1 day ahead . ED cannot satisfy everyone and it’s not necessary either. Some people complain because they still care. Hope that won’t frustrate ED team in anyway. Still looking for graphic engine overhaul sooner, even bugs inevitable in its 1st release. Microsoft made huge mistake with MSFS2024 release. Same with another giant IT company Apple with almost each of its major OS upgrades.

Thanks, I did the same. Wish their QC of 1st batch decent.

@BIGNEWY you may remove “Stable Version” from the announcement going forward. Looking forward any update to make DCS better and better.
