wormeaten Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Pimax definitely have better SDE or better say no noticable SDE at all compared to Rift. But in other aspect Rift is better. Point is VR is individually based subjective experience so don't listen whot other say and try to keep some tech specs. Rift got 430 PPI and Pimax got 807 PPI. PPI is most responsible for SDE so that is fact. Also Pimax got better PPD what is significant better pixel density. Rift got better refresh rate 90Hz vs Pimax 60Hz but in DCS that is not playing segnificant role you will be happy if you reach 40 FPS in game. Slight ghosting is connected with faster games what DCS is not so this is not major problem in DCS. Major advantage for Rift now is price tracking and controllers. Rift you can get for 400$ with tracking and touch controllers in bundle so it is out of the box solution for dissent price. Pimax don't have controllers or positional tracking by default but you have third part solutions based on PS move controllers or kineckt. Pimax you can get for 300$ plus some software and hardware for tracking and controllers so basic price with all solution can end up in the end around 350 - 400$ as well. My advice for you to wait to see how Samsung will perform now when will be released and maybe even wait next year for Pimax8K. Trust me that is the one you want and worth to wait for.
dburne Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 The Rift and I am sure the Vive as well, is an absolutely incredible experience for flight sims and other games as well. I got my Rift on Jan 15th and have never looked back, I have not gamed on the monitor since. To be honest I hardly really notice the SDE, as I am looking beyond it at the scenery up ahead. Yes the resolution is not where I would like it but know it will eventually come in future generations. Since I got VR, my flight simming has increased probably 10 fold over what it used to be. For me there is nothing like it. And it is very much plug and play, with great 1:1 movement and positional tracking.
