BMGZ06 Posted December 9, 2022 Posted December 9, 2022 Just wondering if the Pimax 8kx still is an issue with the 3090ti. My G2 no longer works in 90hz mode and gets sparkles even in 60hz mode which still mostly works. I have the original G2 cable so no need for the DP repeater mod. I want to get the 12k if it ever comes out next year so the 8KX seems like a good way to go for now. Not sure of the setup headaches with it though. I already have Steam 2.0 base stations and hopefully dont need the controllers.

KungFu Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 I just picked one up two days ago, returned it yesterday. Windows couldn't connect to it via USB and Pitool said that the DP was disconnected (Yes I disabled my IGP) Pimax reddit says that I would need a fiber optic cable or DP repeater. I have a 3090 so it's not just the TI version with issues. I messed around with this thing for hours trying to get it to work, but for the $1k price tag (I have index lighthouses/etc) I'd expect it to be more polished, reliable and provide the proper cables as an addon. It wouldn't even see the headset to do a firmware update. I looked at the Pimax reddit and boy it's a wonder they are still in business with these QA issues. Oh well, back to my reliable Index. Maybe the 12k will be better but based on the Pimax track record I bet the same issues will still be around.

WipeUout Posted December 16, 2022 Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) Sorry for your bad experience, no issues with the 4080 though. Only negative is that Pitool's Fix foveated is not working with SteamVR but alternatively can be used within OpenXR Toolkit which also has better performance that SteamVR.
