Wow great setup

[@grifone_sim_rally]

Complimenti bel setup

[@DiyNuke]

is it even worth going to a crystal if you have an pimax 8kx should be a bit clearer/sharper but is it that much better? already have a 8kx with a 4090 and with that its also at 90% most of the time in dirt rally 2.0

[@HamVR]

I've not tried the 8KX but would say probably not. I'd wait for the Crystal Ultra.

[@DiyNuke]

@@HamVR ah okay good also curious when they will have the 12k. but pretty sure if it was today there would be no graphics card to run both lenses probaly max 1 side xD almost scary how a piece of top notch kit still can barely handle it. but if the 5090 really will be 70% faster we might have a chance of decent frame rate

[@fan2hd277]

Dude why benchmarking at 72Hz. Rally is fast paced and every split second counts that’s why i would focus more on 120Hz.

[@HamVR]

Because this is tuned for the best picture for Pimax Crystal. If you want to hit 120Hz on this headset and game you would need lower the resolution significantly.

[@socks2441]

the frametimes dont look great, but i suppose its only 72fps. then again. its ONLY 72FPS ;) and a 4090 pegged at the upper limit of 90% usage just to run at 72fps is crazy, regardless of resolution. out of interest, what is the render resolution (not the screen resolutions).

[@HamVR]

Render Resolution 3708 x 4388 per eye. The headset panel resolution is 2880 x 2880 per eye.

[@marksimpson1007]

Not in the average guys pay gap, tho.looks mint, but I bet it aint a cheap bit of kit.

[@HamVR]

The main expense is the graphics card (NVIDIA 4090), which is also used for other things such as video editing. You can get reasonable results with lower spec GPUs and cheaper low res headsets (Quest 2, Pro & 3). Also games such as Automobilsta 2 are much easier to run in VR in comparison.

@@HamVR The day a mid range video card will do 120Hz I'll get into VR. Now I play at 240Hz triple 32" 1080p with a mid range video card and 7800X3D.

[@socks2441]

any game, even vr, that needs a 4090 to look better than playstation 1 graphics is not ready for prime time.

[@DiyNuke]

dont forget that vr is atleast 4/5x as heavy as a normal game asetto on single screen is 300fps at 30% load and vr is 90fps at 98% load thats why vr at high res is a diffrent league of its own. and once you go into it there's no going back xD first had the first quest then got a pimax 8kx used then got a small gaming pc with a 3070ti. couldnt run full ress so then went to an 4090 with an i13700 and now i am pretty happy with how it runs. expensive? yeah but plenty of others hobby's that also cost a sh*t load also helped a bit that i bought my 4090 right in the time they were more available before the shit happend with china so price's went up quite a bit. since i got it at 1770$ and now its more like 1900$

[@socks2441]

@@DiyNuke I'm not new to vr, I understand the performance required. My 3080ti RNs dirt rally 2.0 better than a 4090 using dlss runs EA wrc in vr. That's all I'm saying. It's not ok.

[@DiyNuke]

@@socks2441 ah in that way. Yeah well i agree on that. So far i only played dirt rally on ultra which it barely does Havent tried wrc dont think it looks that much better compared to dirt rally i think

[@Chidorin]

idk, looks worse than vr rsf rbr after graphical update p.s. looks like codemasters tricked with roof to decrease render resolution and have better fps
