Tech is life. You need it. You breathe it. There’s also a lot of it out there. That’s why you are here, to get tech tips and product reviews a little bit at a time. I live and work in Doha, Qatar and that makes nerding out on tech a bit different than what it was in America. Come along for the ride as I discover what makes Qatar’s tech world tick and how you can get the most bang for your buck in this country. Thanks for checking out the channel!

Is this the best budget RGB light set? Epic Gamers Glide Starter Kit Review
Did this the other day with my oculus 3s. Awesome experience. Turbulence makes certain movie scenes even more intense!!
just picked this up for 80usd on amazon, feels like I stole it after the 300usd price point a couple years ago lol
I bought a Pimax because of all the reviewers gushing for it... its Garbage, and the Company is too. I will never own a Pimax product ever again, so many issues.
Hello, your problem my friend, is not your cpu but your GPU, I can't believe that people still haven't understood that AMD GPUs for VR are bullshit. Get a 4090 and you'll see the difference right away. I was like you before, I have a 7900xt and an XTX and I ended up getting Nvidia, there's no question if you want to do VR in acceptable conditions.
Maybe you missed the point of the video. I do have a 4090 and yeah it's better. This was just a test of the performance. I have found in my extensive testing that AMD may not be able to push the framerates that Nvidia can but it has been more stable overall. This does not apply to everyone though as I have seen people complain from both sides.
@BartmansBits How can you only have 29fps? I have between 40 and 70 fps in high with my Quest3 with Virtual Desktop. If you look at Sim Vr Guy it is never below 35 with its Pimax.
@@OlivierFablu-c9m he's using a 4090 and the Pimax crystal is a much higher resolution headset than the quest 3. Glad you enjoyed watching the whole video.
Glad I saw this vid 👍I have a AMD Ryzensets 9 7900X Processor, and was running (2x16GB) CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 32GB @ 6000MHz. It worked great, until I added (2x16GB) more of the same Ram. I got the blue screen etc. but then noticed the processor was listed at DDR5 5200 (Max.). Can it still be clocked up to 6000MHz using your method? At the moment I have lowered the speed to 5200MHz and it works fine.
any tutorial on how to add offline movies to Quest 3?
I must first commend the Pimax team for having the courage to stand up and communicate with users. Quality issues can't be resolved overnight, but at least we’ve seen their attitude, and that’s a good start!
Lord I would be 🤮 all over the place at those frame rates. How does that not make you sick? If my vr does not hit 90 I can get vr sick
i appreciate your video from a content standpoint and everyone has a unique opinion. but 3:27 are you for real? do you think that paying 80 - 220 bucks - which is a rather steep asking price even for a feature complete, bug free, AAA gaming experience, throroughly tested and quality controlled - was in some way justified??? none of the above aspects were met, not on launchday nor now. And i bet you in three months from now it won't have changed much either. why should i pay full price for a bug ridden, unoptimized desaster where assets "beam" into existence on the airport? because they will fix it some time later? where on earth does business work like that? but i'm salty. i forgot that i can enjoy the full remaining 6 years of the promised 10 years of msfs2020 support, can't i? yeah, i'm just wondering why there's a new sim out now, when the outgoing one will be supported for this long..... could it be that... it WONT in fact be supported because... 2024 is the same program but with prettier clouds and sh*ttier streaming? building up the hype with juicy videos while in the background they haven't even implemented a marketplace. audacious, malicious and despicable business practices. you seem to think it's not a big deal, apparently. why?
This is one of those games that you either have to play with awful low resolution or insanely low framerate if you choose to play vr
It really depends on the hardware you are using. You can get away with a lot by using upscaling and optimizing the VR settings. Takes a lot of tweaking to get the most out of it for sure.
Any tall guys out there have it? I'm 6ft 4in an worried about it.
I think you will be fine at 6'4". As a sometimes 6' guy I had plenty of extra room to stretch out.
have you tought about getting a flex atx psu with an sfx to flex atx adapter?
Fs2024 likes more cores than 3dvcahe....I'd reference my comment before an upgrade
And thats why im still using my Oculus Rift CV1. With my humble AMD 5600(NoN x)/32GB RAM DDR4 3200MHz/RX 6700XT in MSFS 2020 i get constant 45fps and even i upscale it to 1.25X. Almost all graphics settings to High
This is not a budget friendly wheel😭
Couple questions 1) How are you able to get just the single screen record, no matter how many times I tell steam VR to only display 1 screen it always shows both screens and cant seam to get it to sort itself out. Only seams to happen with MSFS2020 and MSFS2024 as Ive got other VR games to only show 1 screen. 2) What is the program you are using to show all the data in the corner, that would be really helpful to see how many changes are actually affecting the sim vs my bias opinion on if it "feels" better 3) You mentioned about shimmer with the Quest 3 and having it setup wrong. Im using the Quest 3 so any suggestions, or if you have other videos mentioning it, on settings would be great to have.
I use OBS for recording with the OoenXR plugin. Pretty quick setup to get right or left eye only. The data is the developer mode in the settings of MSFS 2024. Toggle that on then check display fps in one of the top left menus. I never remember which one but you will see it if you click around. And for the shimmering in the quest 3, I haven't used it in a while so I don't know the settings off the top of my head. I believe it has a lot to do with the settings in virtual desktop.
Thanks for vid ! i think i will stay whit my pico 4 rx 7900 xt ryzen 7 7800 x3d ! visuals is not that great but it is plyable... i think buy amd over n vidia was mystake :D
Excellent review. Especially concerning the honesty about 4080 and up.
I've got all those upgrades and they are not optional. It does fit great with accessories. Without, it's everything you described and terrible compared to the HP G2.
Great Video, Thanks. I would love it if you went through the screens showing actual settings you applied (in this vid they are to fuzzy to make out) because I just do not seem to be getting decent sharp graphics with my Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 7900xtx and Pimax Crystal Light.
Great suggestion!
Use the upscale setting in pimax play software and watch your performance increase
QC is the only reason I haven't gotten a Cristal light yet. I was expecting most of the issues to be fixed by now. Unfortunately, it's only gotten worse. I'm not spending $800 on a VR HS that takes months to get a replacement for an HS that should have never been sent to a customer anyway. And now we see more and more customers with issues Pimax can't or won't fix.
Pretty rad
how tall are you? sorry if i missed it in the video
On a good day I'm 6 foot. No issues fitting in this cockpit
It says that the max weight is 331. I'm 400. Should it be fine?
It's pretty sturdy but I would stick with what they call out for the max. They have a huge lineup so I'm sure you can find one that works for you!
@@BartmansBits I like the stands because there is no weight but which cockpit has the biggest weight max?
Making a 11 min vid for a 30 sec solution is hilarious
Did you add their Seat add on to your 2.0 or are you just using their New Victory rig
Did you add their Seat add on to your 2.0 or are you just using their New Victory rig
Thank you for the review.
No problem! Glad you enjoyed it.
Both are overpriced
People online have said that they get better temps with the bottom fan as an exhaust.
I dont know if you've tested both but how does this one compare to the GTRacer? GTRacer is within my budget but since this one came out, I'm wondering if the extra cost is worth it. Hopefully you shall see this comment and ease my worries :)
Thanks for the video! Sadly I need a foldable rig as I don't have space (using the Playseat Challenge at the moment, which is good but I cannot adjust the wheelbase height). This rig would be perfect for me if the wheelbase white "pillars" could be folded onto the pedals or something like that. If it was foldable I could just fold the seat, fold the steering support and then have it vertical and stored somewhere.
Karl gosling done a video of a foldable mod for these, I'm in the same situation as you
What I would like to know is if by not liking the chair it can be switched for another model?
What is the total length of this cockpit?
Im definitely buying this to go with my gtracer
Im getting this!
You won't be disappointed!
Looking great.
I love it! This is exactly what i've been looking for. Unfortunately, only finding them sold out. 🤔
Stock out in a couple of weeks per NRL
i have limited space in my room but really like this cockpit, would it be possible to partially disassemble it each time i want to put it away or would that cause the bolts to wear on the metal of the cockpit to much?
Looking for an answer for this too
@Epicsilver08 so i asked the same question on Karl Goslings review and he said the replace the two bolts holding the two pieces together with some thumb screws and it would be good to go
You could get some adjustable clamping levers to replace the bolts. I use those a lot on things I need to disassemble or adjust often. You can find them on Amazon
@ what size would be needed?
@@josephlauer8980 M8 x 16mm. Hope am not late.
not going to lie this sounds a bit fan boy i know its a good head set but i think your glazing this head set a bit much
any update on the issue?
Those were actually good numbers compared to other cheap drives. Will probably try this on my ps5
You think a new Alienware computer with a 4070 will cut it?
No, best headset is easily the VR1
Thank you, Bartman. I've seen many helpful videos on getting everything set up; however, yours is by far the BEST as it is more in-depth as, for my case, held the key to the most important lock, so to speak....information about SteamVR. Of course, because of age of video and the updates of Steam, once I went through the steps downloading (and yes, some confusing frustration along the way), I was able to go from 11fps to a whoping 43fps!!! "No more low-powered robotic head movements" as one friend described. Thank you! Take care and have a great day.
I have 128GB of RAM DDR5 5200 CORSAIR, and i have this issues, but this video works for me, thank you!
8:00 No, it's just Crystal issue due to aspheric lenses. They have smaller sweet spot than pancakes.
Why do different challenges with different items. Two different tests.
