Pimax 8KX performance and experiences

[Gryzor]

How is the performance with 8KX?

 

I think that with 75Hz it can go quite well with DCS.

Smart smoothing is bette than steam VR smoothing algorithm? - recently I tried VP2 and returnet to Vive due awful algorithm -

 

Specially considering that with 75 hz, smart smoothing should be 37,5 fps in 75hz). Please tell me about your experiences.

 

Thanks

Just my opinion, others have had better experiences, but awful.

 

Yes the panels have a lot of pixels, but that's pretty much where it ends. If I actually try to drive the pixels the performance is bad. On my machine the Index runs at 90Hz most of the time. The only way to get the Pimax to do that is to drop the resolution to that of the Index.

 

The fov is wide but it looks like crap outside the very center.

 

I have both the 8K+ and 8KX. Bland colors, and dim compared to other displays like the Index or G2. The audio is a joke, so expect to wear headphones. Incredibly uncomfortable and leaks light so expect to modify it. Heavy.

 

IMO the biggest problem is the fact that the screens don't move with the mechanical IPD adjustment, and you are on your own to figure out how to adjust this. You have to spend a lot of physically painful time tweaking software X/Y offsets to find the least vomit-inducing configuration, and this varies from headset to headset.

 

It also has significant mura of high spatial frequency so it feels like I am looking through a dirty pane of glass.

 

I had to return the 8KX and wait 3 months for a replacement because it arrived with bad displays from the factory.

 

My vote is stay away and get a G2 or Index. I also had to return the G2, but at least it is a good headset.
