IF only SLI wasn't dead

And 4090's didn't cost more than a Kidney

...but this 12K Pimax, assuming it doesn’t need to compensate for barrel distortion will need to push more than 75 million pixels....

Do not worry about this alleged 75 million pixels

The so-called PIMAX 12K QLED real resolutions performance is in fact less than a real 8K!
Pimax data per eye display:
5,620 x 2,720 = 15,286,400 Pixels (> 5k / <5K+)
X 2 = 30,572,800 < HUXGA
30,720,000 = HUXGA
33,177,600 = FUHD
35,389,440 = 8K
79,626,240 = 12K

PIMAX 12K QLED is:
4,816,640 Pixels less than 8K and
49,053,440 Pixels less than 12K

@BiBa I believe you’re right. I’m forgetting the Pimax Maths. Having said that, we’re still talking more than 30 Million Pixels. 
 

I’m fascinated to know what platforms might be able use it because DCS in its current state is not an option.

Seems like folks get too hung up in thinking that it is a Must to run an HMD at its max capability to have a good experience. 

[Gun Jam]

Depends on the person I guess. I run my Reverb G2 and 105% because 35-40FPS bothers me less than fuzzy display / shimmer. I found I dont really need AA at those resolutions. with whatever 200ish FOV they are saying the pimax 12k will run I bet you'll want all the resolution you can get to fill that display...probably

Pimax Crystal Launch along with all sorts of technical details and some updated news regarding the 12K QLED development progress

Three weeks ago at the VR Berlin Pimax Roadshow, I tried the new Pimax CRYSTAL HMD. 

It has 2 x UHD Displays. (< 4K) Pimax might label it as an 8K, but objectively speaking, it has a GPU total performance of a 5K+. 
Climbing the 4K to 8K Scala should be multiplied by 4. (4x4 and NOT by adding 4+4) 

IN COMPARISON TO THE 12K

Pimax CRYSTAL
Display per Eye: 2.880 x 2.880 = 8.294.400 Pixels 
Total performance: 5.760 x 2.880 = 16.588.800 Pixels < 6K (or 8.294.400 x 2)
Pimax 12K 
Display per Eye: 5.620 x    2.720 =    15.286.400 Pixels 
Total performance: 11.240 x 2.720 = 30.572.800 Pixels < 8K (or 15.286.400 x 2)

I assume when Pimax says CRYSTAL HMD is based on the same Platform as the 12K, that its display tec has the same PPI density, (Pixel Per Inch) but with a 120° FOV instead of 210°. It could be extended though to 140°, but with a PPD loss (Pixel Per Degree); let alone the Hz Refresh Rate topic, when a FPS discussion is required. 

CRYSTAL has indeed the best clear and crystal view between all other Pimax HMD I have tried before! This is due to its Aspheric lenses instead of the common Fresnel lenses. I flew the F/A-18C Hornet and I could read trouble-free all small details in its display without having to zoom or to lean forward. Therefore, for all Pimax Fans who prefer clarity in favor of FPS and FOV; this is IT!

PS. Do not get misguided on the resolution perception subject, by comparing the HMD total resolution 5K, 8K or 12K etc. Always check the characteristics of the one Eye PPI display and its PPD distance watching! Adding the sum of two eyes displays DOES NOT ENHANCE the optical resolution perception, it only extend the 2D FOV in 3D Field Of View. Yet stereo display view does boost the Display brightness and contrast level. In other words: The resolution remains the same, if you are watching a 4K display with one or two eyes, or watching two 4K displays appropriately in stereo with two eyes. Even watching 8 separate displays with 8 separate eyes like our terrestrial spiders does not maximize the 4K resolution perception of them all; IT REMAINS 4K! Only the dimension differs from 2D > 3D. (I’m not sure if by having 4 eyes, like some other alien biological entities out there, it would boost us into the fourth dimension?!) I guess we'll have to ask ET

 I thought of a Spider with four Pimax Headsets on after reading your post.LOL

 

[BiBa]

Hey Phantomas - I think you'll have to order this ET 8K eight Headsets ! 

Thanks goodness he wont need the 12K...
