  • The Pimax Crystal is probably the easiest to use VR headset I've tried so far with amazing results for simracing! I honestly would switch over to this if I didn't stream, it's so much more immersive!

      I think i did 40% of simracing in VR (Vive pro)
      Immersion is obviously way better than my single monitor and the spacial awareness is awesome.
      I must say that if I try hard on both system, I am always faster in VR I'm more precise with my braking and lines.
      The main thing that keeps me switching to vr exclusively is the clarity and performance.

      I have Oculus Rift because it's cheaper than any triples on 49' 32:9. I don't like big fovs on small screen so I wen't for VR option.
      To be honest I'm not a super mega hyped for using any VR. Screens are just more comfortable and theres zero problem with support in some games.
      That 3D perspective is nice, helps with feeling the car but there's still a lot of blind spot and it kinda ruins immersion. Also headset have like 90° FOV when rendered is 110° so it's not 1:1 scale with real world. The only game that have world scale slider is R3E.
      Still better than small single screen tho.

And now during summer I can turn off my G9 and have one heater less in the room. I ditched VR once because of missing clarity, comfort and performance, but that problems seems fixed for me now. Buying this awful Vive Cosmos was also one of the worst decisions I've made.

    I'm waiting for the Crystal to arrive myself, hopefully it will be soon. You said that the FOV isn't much larger than the G2 but looking at the Pimax mirror screen there's a big difference. I use the Lamborghini in the G2 all the time and in the VR mirror the left mirror of the car is only in part in the picture (only just the beginning tip), while here it is in fully on sight, and the vertical fov is much higher (in the G2 you see just a little part of the legs while here you see them almost to the waist). So at least judging by the mirror the fov is more on par to the PSVR 2 than the G2.

    I use a Pimax 8KX and a Pico 4 with Virtual Desktop (i5 13600, RTX 4080). The Pimax was not easy to setup, but now it's great and the FOV is even on "small" wider than the Index. The Pico has considerable smaller FOV, but even wireless better clarity. Certainly the best HMD for under 1k and basically no compression artifacts nor noticeable input lag. It feels like plugged in and if it's attached to a power supply, no battery drain. In AMS2 I get with both rock solid 90 fps despite ridiculous resolutions up to 24 million pixels at medium high. OpenXR is really a game changer for VR as well as current GPU and CPU gens. Many issues of the past were due to running the system at full capacity without getting 90 fps and good visuals. Now there is some headroom left while having no compromises regarding quality and smoothness.

    I had a Rift S, Pimax 8k Plus and Reverb G2.
    My biggest problem with Pimax was the weight and size. The Big FOV is awesome but because of the big screen it felt way to heavy. Reverb G2 was the best thing Ive tried. Very light and great Lenses.
    But I switched back to monitors a few months ago.
    The immersion of VR is so so awesome but the discomfort (weight,heat) and bad software (lots of crashes/lags despite RTX 3080) of VR just kills it for me.
    With a monitor you get in your seat and drive. VR always took more time to set up.

    I also have the Crystal:
    1) for simming (I play DCS) this is absolutely genius! The picture quality, the clarity is just amazing! But I would get a chair without headrest, because of the headset is to bit behind your head (battery!) and you'll need to keep your head slightly forward, which is quite a strain!
    2) for Roomscale: absolutely not. The room-setup is flatout broken, the inside-out tracking is really bad (it mostly works for seated simming, but even then it can happen that you'll be "outside" the seat; you'll re-center often with this HMD!). The controllers feel REALLY cheap and their tracking isn't that good either.
    -> if/when we get the Lighthouse (which will add to the cost) and which will need different controllers (which enormously adds to the cost!), then maybe. Probably. Hopefully.

    I have the Pimax 8Kx, one thing that I noticed on the crystal is the incredibly small FOV. That's a big turn off, for you to have an idea... on the lambo, on the 8kX, your field of view goes all the way to the right side mirror.. It just lacks the eye tracking, which I'm hoping the 12k will bring along with the same FOV. Other than that, awesome performance and res.

    How have you found the ergonomic comfort of the back of the Crystal headset resting on your racing sim chair? I've seen someone say it's a problem for them vs. VR headsets like the Pico 4 and G2, etc, because of how thick it is on the back of the headset. Have you found the same in any way by any chance? Perhaps their chair is too upright?

    The irony of you not being able to move your head is that it's actually more realistic. Real helmets are so strapped down to the Hans device (I think it's called something else now) that you can actually barely move your head, maybe even less than you are in your seat.

  • @tonebalone607
    @tonebalone607 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Couple tips if I may. Go into your Nvidia control panel, go to manage 3D settings, and set virtual reality pre-rendered frames from 1 to 3. Technically, there is a increase in latency when using this setting, however, as a frame time snob, I don't notice much of a difference. This will significantly help with cpu bottleneck. The trade off with latency is worth it. Secondly, the FOV that's used in VR is different from the FOV you use on flat screens. The games load settings from different .ini files. So there's no need to swap it back and forth when switching. Set it to what you want and then it'll change itself depending on what renderer you use (i.e. openvr, openxr, monitor). I recommend uses the fov/camera default settings for VR. Sometimes in Assetto Corsa I feel the need to move the seat a tiny bit, but ultimately the devs spent a lot of time trying to emulate in VR exactly what the drivers sees from an optimal driving position, and that's what the default settings are. Great vid as always! VR is the way!

    120hz will enable the DSC (maybe the reason of the experimental warning). I don't know how much time is added by the compression, but I faced eventual movement lag running my VP2 in 4896x2448@120hz. Remembering that the Displayport 1.4a have a maximum native resolution of 4k@120hz, so 5760x2880@120hz is much more than the maximum.
    Does anyone realized similar issue with the DSC enabled?

  • @Michelsen77

    vr is great. But it takes time for research to get the best out of each sim. a lot money for the best hardware on the market to run it smooth at 90 fps with super graphics. Once you're there and enjoy, it's probably hard for the most users hard to get back to pancake racing.
    I started in 2017. Way to early for proper vr gaming. with a oculus rift 1. Screen door effect and 45fps max, annoying base stations and poor optimized vr titles. now in 2023 with the right hmds like the fov eating pimax crystals and affordable reverb g2s, rtx 4090s and software like openxr and stuff...vr seems to be ready for everyone. But as mentioned. Vr is not for those who expect plug & play gaming.
    Just my experience over the years of daily racing in vr.
    I love it and i am always excited every day to take a seat in my rig and put that vr headset on after work 😊 enjoy guys!
