Just a quick note regarding this prototype unit - Varjo have since clarified via their Discord community that the unit we tested is identical to final production in terms of the visual experience.
In ball-park terms, how much better than a vive-pro would you reckon this is? It looks like fov is the same so clarity/sweetspot etc - what would you reckon, how much better? Is it worth the upgrade?
What I'd love to see is a direct comparison to the 8KX when the 8KX is on the smallest FOV with the highest refresh rate and then the next smallest FOV. On the smallest FOV the 8KX has an identical HFOV to the Vargo but a larger HFOV. I'm curious how they compare when on the exact same FOV because in my experience the biggest issues with the Pimax are at the extremities of the larger FOV's. The reason the highest refresh rate is important is because you mention smoothness and IMO the Pimax needs to be run at the highest refresh rate and FPS to be smooth and this mostly relates to tracking. Actually if you use 9 axis tracking for sim racing I actually find it far smoother and with a higher fps.
I use a neck fan I got from Amazon. It looks like headphones around your neck. They blow air up the front of your face and the air makes it inside the VR headset enough to make a difference. I think it was about $15 for the one I got.
@@thonczarenko Yes one of my friends got one of those for his G2, but I had to tell him not to use it as it sounded like he was in a wind tunnel when he used his Mic to talk.
THANK YOU Will and @boostermedia, I love how we have an Australian channel dedicated to sim racing. Got into sim racing after taking my sports car onto my local track in Melbourne and tired of paying top dollar for track time and having replace tires and everything else. Love your channel and it’s been a real money saver as i’m tired of spending thousands on Sim racing kit that’s nothing like what i expect , it’s so difficult to us VR as i have an unrealistic expectation on clarity as i’m so used to using 57 double 4K display on my sim where everything is pin sharp. Aside from the high price of upgrading my sim rig, most often or not, not only do I have to source these items offshore without having the opportunity to test it, these reviews are so useful as returning it most of often or not is not an option. Need more call outs on what visual quality and if it’s crap. i tried the Quest 3 and PSVR2. Q3 is passable for PCVR and PSVR2 is laughable oppose to what other youtube channels reports it.
Best review ive seen so far! I was affraid it will be another one done by a person that got something from varjo and feels obliged to say nice story but this seems to be honest to the bone. Great job Will!
OMG, no kidding. I am fighting a real dislike for the company based solely on that manipulative bullshit marketing blitz. One channel, who I won’t name, did nothing but Varjo content on their $3k device with a $2k yearly subscription for months. He clearly had his channel essentially bought for that period and at the end of every piece he did that “please beg in the comments for Varjo to make a consumer version.” You knew two minutes on that they already had one and were gonna release it soon. It felt really sleazy. Will, as usual, did a great, honest, review.
Thank you for your unbiased review! Despite it's limitations, I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on one! This will bring DCS and simulators in general to another level. For now, I think we need to accept the fact that there will be trade-offs. And I'd rather have clarity in simulators than an ultrawide fov.
I agree. I bought a G2 for the clarity and the FOV is maybe slightly underwhelming but once I'm in the game I just don't notice. I DO notice when things look blurry.
There's great content on RUclips with real world racing drivers and where they look. Eye tracking has been used in sports and it is really interesting.
Never in my life did I think that I would stare so deeply into Will's eyes for so long but now I think I'm in love lol! Seriously though this really could be huge for sim racing. Just hope they can somehow get the cost down for the casual racer.
@@eliasbejek6651 I hope so! At the moment me and the wife are spending a lot of our free time mountain biking and hiking trying to be healthy and active. But I’ve been doing some racing here and there. I still have big plans for the channel but it’s not way up on the priority lists at the moment.
F1 in automobilista with G2 is quite a rush. I just got all set up over the past month. Bought iRacing yesterday.. Tried DCS.. Fun, but racing has crazy intensity.. Worth a try!
Looking forward to the full review on this. A few in my community have mentioned it but unfortunately as you say even tho it is a consumer version of the headset it is still very highly priced. Hopefully the next gen of headsets are within a reasonable price range as VR is definitely more mainstream now especially in sim racing.
@Zav The1 I've heard it is. I have a Rift S atm and love it. For me I just want to wait for the next gen of headsets before upgrading next. Hopefully won't be too long.
@@Meditech509 not really. 3 good screens cost less. And have better visuals, clarity, even if at 1440p (and for 1440p, they'll cost half the price). But there's something about driving with vr as well, and to get as close in immersion with screens you'd need much bigger screens in 4m and also a good setup in the room, also it all takes up much more space than just a headset obviously
Hey, Will. This video convinced me to pull the trigger on the Varjo Aero - and to give AMS2 another look. Am I glad I did. What an amazing experience. Thank you.
Finally a sim recer reviews this headset!! I was on the fence with buying this headset and after this video I'm still on the fence!. Coming from a valve index I wouldn't want any less fov, but the clarity makes this headset so tempting. Hard to justify spending that much money if it still has slight warping issues though. I'm sure I'll just bite the bullet and buy it one day. Thanks for taking the time .
thanks for your beautiful videos I bought varjo but it's the first one I've used vr do you have any advice on apps settings etc thank you very much for your time ONE IMPORTANT THING FOR US SIMRACING HOW MANY BASE STATIONS SHOULD I TAKE?
How is it with the 4090? Got a quest pro and very tempted to get this hmd. Have they fixed any issues over the last 12 months since release? Great videos. Bboy.
Thanks for nice review mate.. I'm really hoping that Valve is partnering well in 2022 and they come up with Index followup with some of their partners with proper Steam VR tracking and reasonable price. Pretty much lighter Index with ~30% - 40% better resolution would grab my cash :D FOV should stay as is.. I just moved from Samsung G9 (what is in warranty current as they all are :P) to 2nd hand Index a month ago.. and I'm hooked :) Running different sims with Ryzen 5 5600X + EVGA 3080Ti FTW3
What happen to your G9? I have one that I use fro productivity and normal gaming. The Odyssey G9 is not that great for sim racing ( unless you're used to a small single monitor). I much prefer my Index. Especially with the ability to run 144 frames on iRacing. Something like 90 frames isn't enough in VR for something as fast as the new F1 Merc.
@@TheBrennanSchafer I started getting horizontal lines with dimmed colors (common issue) with whatever black EQ I was using in different usecases (websites with some specific colors at the same time or even simracing) Now its in warrenty and hopefully they will replace the panel or whole monitor and I can sell it. I replaced it with Gigabyte M32U 32" 4K 144hz IPS screen. I also use my simrig as daily workstation for programming.
@@ch3m1c yeah, I ended up getting horizontal lines on both of my last 34” 3440x1440 LG monitors. One after about 7 months and the other in only 3 months. Was pretty pissed. So I’ll be real mad if it happens to my G9. I’ve been actually pleasantly surprised at how good the monitor is at first person shooters but it really shines during productivity. Work on it during the day and play on it at night.
Glad you are doing more VR content now! Thanks a lot! I feel AC1 deserves to be on the list. It is both the most player VR sim racing title, according to Steam, and is arguably the best-looking one, once you mess around CSP, SOL and use the highest-quality cars and track mods. Driving RSS Indy Car around Road America is arguably the best looking Sim Racing VR experience one can have now. IMO it does beat IMS2 in terms of colors, trees/track details, etc. I definitely spend x10 more time in AC VR than anything else in VR, so I would love to know how well does it run on your beefy PC vs. G2.
Same as you - I'd take narrower FOV with larger sweet spot over huge FOV with very limited clarity any day. It is not like you have a huge FOV sinked in a full helmet with a bucket seat with huge ears around your skull. I hope we will get to the point that entire FOV will be the same clarity as the area just in front of you.
Thanks for the very thorough review..I have an aero ordered and have an 8kx already.. since it's known the larger the fov the greater the sense of speed perception and situational awareness, how is your speed perception with the aero so far? Do you think the aero fov can widened a little with a thinner face foam? The pimax 12k reality qled will of course be the best of both the aero clarity with 240° fov and so much more if it lives up to its promises and we'll also get the 8kx purchase price off of the total 12k price..Thank you..Excited to get my Aero now
The man who talked me into the 8KX. Glad you're getting an Aero too. I'm pretty sure once I use the Aero I won't be able to go back to lower clarity, even at the loss of the large Pimax FOV. The Aero will hold me over until the 12K comes out, whenever that actually is. And then it will feel like (hopefully) a major upgrade again... (hopefully) same clarity with a HUGE FOV!
@@stevetb7777 yeah.. still love my 8kx.. only decided to get aero so I have a *choice* between max clarity (aero) and max immersion/ fov (8kx) though with fsr sharpening and rendering moderately above 100%/4k steam resolution to increase the ppd the 8kx is pretty much tack sharp anyway AND have the wide fov .. at least more than clear enough for most applications.. yeah not as sharp as the aero but still great/ good enough for most vr applications but with those mods I'm pretty certain the gap in clarity is narrowed between the 8kx and aero compared to the stock 8kx clarity and if you want the 12k hopefully you are still happy you have the 8kx too as you'll obviously be getting your 8kx purchase price off of the 12k making it a bargain and if the 12k lives up to its promises it will of course blow the aero and 8kx away and if so will sell the aero and end up breaking even or even make a profit by exchanging the 8kx for the 12k and selling the aero.. but for now, having the choice will be welcome..I surely do hope the aero clarity does indeed live up to the hype at the price we paid and also hope the distortions and chromatic aberrations aren't of putting (many aero users have also gotten units with dead pixels too and had to return immediately but hopefully varjo will now be stepping up their qc to avoid sending out dud units and also improve the distortions from this point on).. it's pretty clear the sense of speed in racing sims will be less with the aero though due to the smaller fov but it seems the exceptional clarity makes the aero most people's daily driver and tend to choose max clarity more over max FOV.. I'm interested also to try the fsr sharpening mod with the aero which I don't think anyone has tried to make the clarity even better above stock (if that's possible) with virtually no extra demand on the gpu
Hi guys. I’m doing Sim Racing since a few years and also using VR. Last VR I have used was the HP reverb 2. After this video I’ve decided to buy the Varjo Aero. It came this week, was really looking forward to test it so done that and then the big surprise. It doesn’t work. At least not without steam vr base station. Just found out that it’s mandatory. Now the big question - is one steam vr base station enough for sim racing in a quite small room? And basically it the steam vr base station really mandatory?
Would you say go with this over triple Oled 48"? About to rebuild my sim and I can't decide. the Gigabyte 48" oled monitors are on sale right now for 799 each.
Awesome work with your reviews, I have recently come across your videos and even though I am not in the market for a new rig (at least that is what my wife tells me) I still find them really good
Great review thanks! So, all that eye tracking actually does to this point is automatically adjust IPD, right? At least until games natively support foveated rendering?
great video - it would be really good to l know what sort of framerates you were consistently getting in the different games. AMS2 for instance dramatically changes with weather and number of cars on track. Does that render the headset unusable and deliver 30 fps. If so there is no point in getting one. . I am running a EVGA 3090 hybrid / i9 9900KS 4ghz
I agree it would have been nice to hear the frames he was getting to give other an idea. 30 fps in VR would be unusable for most people and an extremely bad experience for everyone else. You can deal with low frame rates in sitting sims better than most regular VR games because your head is fairly stationary and in one direction but really 70 fps is about the lowest you ever want to go for more than a few mins. Honestly 70- 90 fps is still pretty bad. Once you get used to 120-144 fps in VR it’s hard to use anything less. 120 fps or higher will definitely be the standard in this next generation of headsets.
@@TheBrennanSchafer And this is exactly what has held me back from jumping into the VR rabbit hole. To get the maximum resolution and clarity out of the best headsets the top of the line pc hardware available still struggles in many applications to deliver the higher framerates without sacrificing some detail in many games settings. Of course my favorite racing sim ACC is one of the worst for VR to begin with and the only thing I want VR for is racing and combat flight sims. I keep hoping maybe next year or the next generation hardware will eliminate those issues.
As Varjo is finnish company i have been following their products quite interested as i have also had allready long road with VR headsets (over 5000 hours in SteamVR at the moment). Thank you for review which is one of the first i am seeing: I have heard some feedback as Varjo brought one of their HMD to one finnish virtual pilot meeting few years ago so i knew they are good but they were still on business customers only. Waiting very much more reviews and actual product also how it will be.
Hi, having trouble with the game and settings. Do u have a video were ur showing ur settings of the Varjo and the Ingame settings to get good performance?
Hi Will. I am seriously considering the Aero. Do you know if the Foveated rendering worked ? Its kind of a big selling point both in the headset and with Nvidia cards. But once you buy them all the info dries up. Seeing as you have had hands on time with the Varjo as a driving sim. Does it work? I am particularly interested in AMS 2
@Boosted Media that would be really great ! Thankyou. I have been looking and yes it seems to need VRSS2 - I was wondering how that worked because Nvidia claim that games do not need any special code for VRss2 to work on titles . With that confusingly they release a list of games it works with… So that's over a year ago and since then then silence - I can not find anything more. The add to that your video where you explained how to activate VRSS within the Nvidia control panel on titles that supposedly didn't support it. It’s a very confusing scenario that I cant see how to answer. VRSS2 / eyetracking on a headset like the aero is a gamechanger. I have a 3090 and I really struggle to get good frame rates on my Vive pro 2 and AMS2 I would be prepared to hold my breath and pay the money IF IT WORKED! It needs someone with your tech knowledge to unravel this and tell the truth.
I thought the eye tracking is to safe GPU power? I was hoping it allows us to safe 50% or more of GPU power because it only renders the spot in HQ where the eyes are looking to? AMS2 looked like stuttery, how much FPS did you had?
6:46 some 30 series gpus do have usb c. but not many. i dont understand why they got rid of them, they are capable of full hdmi specs, and room for usb connections etc on top of that. literally the most useful plug the gpu can have (besides a mandatory x1 hdmi and x1 displayport). every gpu should have one, regardless of whether its for vr (virtual link) or anything else. usb, or monitor or whatever (usb c)
@@socks2441 I just mean I have 3 monitors running from 3 DP ports, so my VR is on the Virtual Link with an adaptor and works brilliantly. The thought of unplugging every time I wanted to run VR or Triples was not appealing... and the lack of it on the 3080 means I'll be skipping a generation of cards regardless of availability.
@@lyndenedwards2269 you can probably get HDmi to displayport adapters so you could use the HDmi port on the gpu instead of the USB c, but I get your point, and that would mean buying an adapter (that also assumes you don't also have your TV or something plugged into the HDmi already). I was sort of in the same boat, I needed the HDmi port for my TV (4k60) the dvi for my extra monitor and another HDmi for my vr (wmr) so I had to either run my TV at 4k30/ 1080p60 or unplug it completely whenever I used vr, as the $60 displayport to HDmi adapter I bought couldnt do 4k60. I now have a usbc to HDmi adapter which can do 4k60 so I don't need to unplug anything. USB-c saved my situation.
Man it's frustrating not being able to try out headsets yourself. I'm currently running a VIVE Pro and I love it, but I wouldn't mind spending a bit of money for an upgrade. But it has to be worth it and no matter how much I love your review, it's hard to judge if it's worth that to me.
Hey Will thanks for the review! One question: iRacing: How do you capture the image of the VR view? Did you use the iRacing mirror or did you use other way? Hope you do not mind to share, since I Do streaming using VR and I am always looking to increase image quality. Best, Miguel
Also good to see folks drifting towards vr now...like everyone, non gamers too...i been on this journey since 2015-16 and the jump of tech between 17/18/20/21 has been amazing...from PSVR-G2 and about to make the jump to high end, it seems worth it now...
Yes you can use glasses with it. I’ve seen that on their website and a few other reviews. There are also prescription lenses under development for the aero like you have with other headsets.
I find the eye tracking very innovative. Can the eye tracking be leveraged for the fov to shift as users glance at mirrors in the future? Would be a lot more natural than having to turn our head. What are the limitations in enabling such a feature?
The headset looks very promising. I was introduced with the Oculus DK2 and then the Rift. It just quite wasn't up to par for resolution and clarity, really looking forward to getting back into sim racing with VR and motion
Great review Will. You refer to a lower of field of view with this unit, but would the field of view you are seeing be similar to what you would be seeing if were wearing a helmet in real terms. Or is it a greater FOV reduction? Cheers.
Reports are starting to emerge of dead or stuck pixels with the recently delivered Varjo Aero's (I have heard of six reports so far). Does the Aero unit you have tested have this issue? I have a Aero on Pre-order so very concerned about how many instances of the pixel issue that I am hearing about.
Damn add that Australasia tax to the USD and that's gonna be insanely pricey... That trickle-down may be good in a few years though, one day we'll see a good one similar for 900AUD / 1200NZD eh...
Whats the resolution that you need to run inside steamvr to get this quality. One of the drawbacks of the Reverb G2 is that it need to run at 3164 x 3092 for native res. If this would run in the resolution thats on the website it would be easier to run then the reverb! Also, thanks alot for these hands on kind of reviews with these headsets, really awesome!
I don't know if he's exaggerating on the clarity of the Varjo but 8KX has 4K native resolution? So how is Varjo clearer than 8KX? Doesn't this depend on your settings, graphics card? I did not have visual quality problem in car details and distances if you crank up the settings. There's always a trade off of course. If you reduce Pimax 8KX to a toilet roll FOV...I'm sure the visual will be even greater. I guess Pimax 12K will solve both world.
Great review. I love the fact they pay attention to colour accuracy as well as high PPI, and it looks so well made. Headset is a bit too pricey for me though. FoV I'm not bothered with, but then again I've not tried the Pimax 8KX. Of course, the Pimax Reality could be the one which offers FoV and resolution, I bet you can't wait for that bad boy to arrive, but it's another 12 months I would say at least...
Don´t worry you missed nothing, if you haven´t tried the 8kx. For a 4k resolution per eye, the 8kx ist very blurry. Not sharp at all. Even the Quest 2 is sharper than the 8kx. And the colors of the 8kx are very pale.
@@stagrov8086 Ah thanks Stagrov. I wasn't seriously looking at the Pimax 8KX anyway. It will be interesting to see what the Pimax Reality will bring and I understand that's the start of a new series of headsets from Pimax.
@@dtrjones I wasnt seriouly looking at the 8kx too. But after I got the third advertising email from Amazon, offering me the 8kx, I ordered it. And yesterday, I send it back, because it was simply to blurry. I hope, that Pimax have learned from all their crappy HMDs before releasing the 12k Qled. (IF THEY EVER RELEASE IT)
You usually sit in the middle of an F1 car, right? In the video you can see from 27:30 that it is slightly too far to the left. That really triggers me. Can this be adjusted?
Another great video Will. Look forward to seeing full review. I’m just getting into VR and just bought the G2. I’m trying to convert from triples to VR. Unfortunately I play ACC and I’m finding it undriveable at the moment. I’ve watched your video regarding the G2 and ACC. I have a ryzen 9 5970 processor, rtx 3090 gpu and 32g ram but only getting 20 to 30 fps through FPSVR and it don’t look good! I was wondering whether your settings would be any different since the introduction of DLSS, updated nvidia settings and steam VR? If there is could you post somewhere please or do a video? I’ve checked your discord channel but can’t see anything. Thanks in advance and happy new year to you.
Hi Will. That was an incredibly thorough and candid first impressions of the varjo aero. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this prototype, mate! Your transparency and honesty in this preview is much appreciated. I was pretty set on getting the Aero, but after watching your video, and reading impressions from others with the Aero, I've changed my mind. I think I will wait for the Pimax 12K Qled instead. The thing is, you mentioned you have an Nvidia 3090 and an Intel 11000K processor. With those specs, it's a little disappointing to see that you could only get around 70 FPS in iracing. It seems that we're still being bottlenecked by current hardware to make full use of these headsets. I've decided to wait until the NVIDIA 4xxx series comes out later this year, and buy both a 4090 card and the new pimax headset. It just seems like the current 3000 series is not going to cut it for those looking to be able to crank up their racing sims at max settings. It's a shame, but hopefully we'll get there with the 4000 series. Cheers :)
I did at first but not anymore. I get headaches after about 40 mins though. Only time it feels weird for me now is when I come to a stop for some reason. I’ve never been a sufferer of motion sickness really though.
This is very exciting, thanks for a great review/heads up. Knowing your system specs though, which is basically the current state of the art, the upgrade path for me will be as follows.. Step 1: Wait for the 4090 and next generation Ryzen CPU. Step 2: Choose one of the latest generation of headsets.
@@sg0101010 nope. Already have a Reverb V1, not in use, and am running triple QHDs fine in iRacing on an overclocked 3070 and a good Ryzen 3900XT. It can't do DCS on triples though, and I know the 4090 + future Ryzen would likely do that as well as drive these new VRs well.
@@sg0101010 also with the current GPU etc prices being what they are, it doesn't make sense to jump at every single new release. I don't have the money to burn to upgrade that often. The 40XX is looking good for my needs though.
Let’s get some lap time comparisons! Different headsets and triple screens. I know it won’t be the same for everyone, but as I mentioned with the 8kx vs the Index in your last video, it really can matter and sometimes it’s difficult to know what’s going on until you really push and your times just don’t consistently match up. Anyway, awesome and thanks!
I like the fact with VR that you are inside the game world, but the thing I prefer with your triple screens is the fact you can see your own real wheel and hands rather than an animation that never totally matches your inputs. This fact about the triple screens also makes it all look more realistic as the in cockpit animations, particularly the hands normally are the least graphically realistic element in games.
The sense of 3-dimensionality and depth perception is not matched by the triple screens. VR makes you feel inside of the car and the circuit, and you see the apex much better than on a screen.

Time to fly low!
F1 in automobilista with G2 is quite a rush. I just got all set up over the past month. Bought iRacing yesterday.. Tried DCS.. Fun, but racing has crazy intensity.. Worth a try!
the eyeball tracking + DLSS could be a game changer. Super sharp where you look, not so much around
I think VRSS is probably a better combination than DLSS as DLSS is used for the entire screen space.
Easier processing
Looking forward to the full review on this. A few in my community have mentioned it but unfortunately as you say even tho it is a consumer version of the headset it is still very highly priced. Hopefully the next gen of headsets are within a reasonable price range as VR is definitely more mainstream now especially in sim racing.
Just get a oculus quest 2 it’s affordable and a great VR
@Zav The1 I've heard it is. I have a Rift S atm and love it. For me I just want to wait for the next gen of headsets before upgrading next. Hopefully won't be too long.
It's about the same or less price as 3 high quality monitors.
@@Meditech509 not really. 3 good screens cost less. And have better visuals, clarity, even if at 1440p (and for 1440p, they'll cost half the price).
But there's something about driving with vr as well, and to get as close in immersion with screens you'd need much bigger screens in 4m and also a good setup in the room, also it all takes up much more space than just a headset obviously
Hey, Will. This video convinced me to pull the trigger on the Varjo Aero - and to give AMS2 another look. Am I glad I did. What an amazing experience. Thank you.
Finally a sim recer reviews this headset!! I was on the fence with buying this headset and after this video I'm still on the fence!. Coming from a valve index I wouldn't want any less fov, but the clarity makes this headset so tempting. Hard to justify spending that much money if it still has slight warping issues though. I'm sure I'll just bite the bullet and buy it one day. Thanks for taking the time .
Great review. Made me to pull the trigger on the Aero. Thanks a lot.
You’re welcome. Glad it helped.
Can't believe I watched for about 10 mins before noticing the eyes 😂
👀 creepy eyes are creepy
thanks for your beautiful videos I bought varjo but it's the first one I've used vr do you have any advice on apps settings etc thank you very much for your time ONE IMPORTANT THING FOR US SIMRACING HOW MANY BASE STATIONS SHOULD I TAKE?
How is it with the 4090?
Got a quest pro and very tempted to get this hmd.
Have they fixed any issues over the last 12 months since release?
Great videos.
Bboy.
Thanks for nice review mate.. I'm really hoping that Valve is partnering well in 2022 and they come up with Index followup with some of their partners with proper Steam VR tracking and reasonable price. Pretty much lighter Index with ~30% - 40% better resolution would grab my cash :D FOV should stay as is.. I just moved from Samsung G9 (what is in warranty current as they all are :P) to 2nd hand Index a month ago.. and I'm hooked :) Running different sims with Ryzen 5 5600X + EVGA 3080Ti FTW3
What happen to your G9? I have one that I use fro productivity and normal gaming. The Odyssey G9 is not that great for sim racing ( unless you're used to a small single monitor). I much prefer my Index. Especially with the ability to run 144 frames on iRacing. Something like 90 frames isn't enough in VR for something as fast as the new F1 Merc.
@@TheBrennanSchafer I started getting horizontal lines with dimmed colors (common issue) with whatever black EQ I was using in different usecases (websites with some specific colors at the same time or even simracing) Now its in warrenty and hopefully they will replace the panel or whole monitor and I can sell it. I replaced it with Gigabyte M32U 32" 4K 144hz IPS screen. I also use my simrig as daily workstation for programming.
@@ch3m1c yeah, I ended up getting horizontal lines on both of my last 34” 3440x1440 LG monitors. One after about 7 months and the other in only 3 months. Was pretty pissed. So I’ll be real mad if it happens to my G9. I’ve been actually pleasantly surprised at how good the monitor is at first person shooters but it really shines during productivity. Work on it during the day and play on it at night.
Can you do 120hz with ultra 300 % SS ? I'm wondering
Love the vids. Been watching you since 32000 subs. Congrats on the growth and keep up the great videos and reviews
Amazing review as usual!!! One question, is the base station a must and required for Sim Racing use?
Glad you are doing more VR content now! Thanks a lot! I feel AC1 deserves to be on the list. It is both the most player VR sim racing title, according to Steam, and is arguably the best-looking one, once you mess around CSP, SOL and use the highest-quality cars and track mods. Driving RSS Indy Car around Road America is arguably the best looking Sim Racing VR experience one can have now. IMO it does beat IMS2 in terms of colors, trees/track details, etc. I definitely spend x10 more time in AC VR than anything else in VR, so I would love to know how well does it run on your beefy PC vs. G2.
The best looking one? Against AMS2 in VR? Try it. It deserves more player 💪👌😊
@@ThePape78 Only boring Cars in AMS2.
This thing looks super cool! 🤩
Another cracking review Will, thanks and Happy New Year!
Same as you - I'd take narrower FOV with larger sweet spot over huge FOV with very limited clarity any day. It is not like you have a huge FOV sinked in a full helmet with a bucket seat with huge ears around your skull. I hope we will get to the point that entire FOV will be the same clarity as the area just in front of you.
I might have missed this but did you need a basestation or controllers and if so, how many? Thanks in advance!
It's on the way. Super amped to add this to my set up! Thanks for the awesome review. I watched it 4 times through before oulling the trigger 😅
I have chromatic aberration in my glasses and it just takes a bit of time to get use to. But how is the experience for glasses users?
With the decrease to $990, would you recommend this in 2024? Or wait for big screen beyond, or go with pimax?
Thanks for the very thorough review..I have an aero ordered and have an 8kx already.. since it's known the larger the fov the greater the sense of speed perception and situational awareness, how is your speed perception with the aero so far? Do you think the aero fov can widened a little with a thinner face foam? The pimax 12k reality qled will of course be the best of both the aero clarity with 240° fov and so much more if it lives up to its promises and we'll also get the 8kx purchase price off of the total 12k price..Thank you..Excited to get my Aero now
The man who talked me into the 8KX. Glad you're getting an Aero too. I'm pretty sure once I use the Aero I won't be able to go back to lower clarity, even at the loss of the large Pimax FOV. The Aero will hold me over until the 12K comes out, whenever that actually is. And then it will feel like (hopefully) a major upgrade again... (hopefully) same clarity with a HUGE FOV!
@@stevetb7777 yeah.. still love my 8kx.. only decided to get aero so I have a *choice* between max clarity (aero) and max immersion/ fov (8kx) though with fsr sharpening and rendering moderately above 100%/4k steam resolution to increase the ppd the 8kx is pretty much tack sharp anyway AND have the wide fov .. at least more than clear enough for most applications.. yeah not as sharp as the aero but still great/ good enough for most vr applications but with those mods I'm pretty certain the gap in clarity is narrowed between the 8kx and aero compared to the stock 8kx clarity and if you want the 12k hopefully you are still happy you have the 8kx too as you'll obviously be getting your 8kx purchase price off of the 12k making it a bargain and if the 12k lives up to its promises it will of course blow the aero and 8kx away and if so will sell the aero and end up breaking even or even make a profit by exchanging the 8kx for the 12k and selling the aero.. but for now, having the choice will be welcome..I surely do hope the aero clarity does indeed live up to the hype at the price we paid and also hope the distortions and chromatic aberrations aren't of putting (many aero users have also gotten units with dead pixels too and had to return immediately but hopefully varjo will now be stepping up their qc to avoid sending out dud units and also improve the distortions from this point on).. it's pretty clear the sense of speed in racing sims will be less with the aero though due to the smaller fov but it seems the exceptional clarity makes the aero most people's daily driver and tend to choose max clarity more over max FOV.. I'm interested also to try the fsr sharpening mod with the aero which I don't think anyone has tried to make the clarity even better above stock (if that's possible) with virtually no extra demand on the gpu
Hi Will, Are you going to be releasing a follow up Varjo Aero video, now that you have had it for awhile? Thanks Steve.
Wiring to hear back from them on a few things but yes we will do some follow up stuff.
Hi guys. I’m doing Sim Racing since a few years and also using VR. Last VR I have used was the HP reverb 2.
After this video I’ve decided to buy the Varjo Aero.
It came this week, was really looking forward to test it so done that and then the big surprise. It doesn’t work. At least not without steam vr base station. Just found out that it’s mandatory.
Now the big question - is one steam vr base station enough for sim racing in a quite small room? And basically it the steam vr base station really mandatory?
How much better is it (iracing) over the G2? Is the G2 70,80,90 % as good?
Sweet! Been looking forward to a review of this headset from a sim racers perspective. Cheers will 👌
Hi which graphics card did you use for this video?
Thanks Steve
Excellent and comprehensive review, thank you.
Thank you for such a detailed review :)
I have a fan on my index in the usb slot, it's really nice
It was really interesting seeing your eye movement. Not how I expected them to move
Hi，should I buy Varjo Aero over 8kx？ or it is better to wait for the Pimax Crystal(focus on ACC)
Nice to see Dexter (Night at the Museum) featuring in the eye cam. 👀
Would you say go with this over triple Oled 48"? About to rebuild my sim and I can't decide. the Gigabyte 48" oled monitors are on sale right now for 799 each.
Awesome work with your reviews, I have recently come across your videos and even though I am not in the market for a new rig (at least that is what my wife tells me) I still find them really good
Just wanted to say you this was a fantastic review.
Great review thanks! So, all that eye tracking actually does to this point is automatically adjust IPD, right? At least until games natively support foveated rendering?
great video - it would be really good to l know what sort of framerates you were consistently getting in the different games. AMS2 for instance dramatically changes with weather and number of cars on track. Does that render the headset unusable and deliver 30 fps. If so there is no point in getting one.
. I am running a EVGA 3090 hybrid / i9 9900KS 4ghz
I agree it would have been nice to hear the frames he was getting to give other an idea. 30 fps in VR would be unusable for most people and an extremely bad experience for everyone else. You can deal with low frame rates in sitting sims better than most regular VR games because your head is fairly stationary and in one direction but really 70 fps is about the lowest you ever want to go for more than a few mins. Honestly 70- 90 fps is still pretty bad. Once you get used to 120-144 fps in VR it’s hard to use anything less. 120 fps or higher will definitely be the standard in this next generation of headsets.
@@TheBrennanSchafer And this is exactly what has held me back from jumping into the VR rabbit hole.
To get the maximum resolution and clarity out of the best headsets the top of the line pc hardware available still struggles in many applications to deliver the higher framerates without sacrificing some detail in many games settings.
Of course my favorite racing sim ACC is one of the worst for VR to begin with and the only thing I want VR for is racing and combat flight sims.
I keep hoping maybe next year or the next generation hardware will eliminate those issues.
I might have missed it, how did you handle the motion cancellation?
Great review :)
As Varjo is finnish company i have been following their products quite interested as i have also had allready long road with VR headsets (over 5000 hours in SteamVR at the moment). Thank you for review which is one of the first i am seeing: I have heard some feedback as Varjo brought one of their HMD to one finnish virtual pilot meeting few years ago so i knew they are good but they were still on business customers only. Waiting very much more reviews and actual product also how it will be.
Hi, having trouble with the game and settings. Do u have a video were ur showing ur settings of the Varjo and the Ingame settings to get good performance?
but how does track look in the distance? particularly the oncoming corners and apexes, that is the key for racing in VR (for me at least)
Looks clear assuming your Pc can deliver native resolution.
@@boostedmedia yep.... Can you compare track-in-the-distance visuals to HP G2, is there an obvious advantage with Varjo? Thanks.
Yes the Varjo is clearer than the G2
@@boostedmedia so if there's no night and day difference visually, would it justify 4x price difference over G2?
@@Alejandro388 no
for sim racing , does it requied SteamVR base station and controller to operate ? they drop the price to 990USD ! Thanks !
Hi Will. I am seriously considering the Aero. Do you know if the Foveated rendering worked ? Its kind of a big selling point both in the headset and with Nvidia cards. But once you buy them all the info dries up. Seeing as you have had hands on time with the Varjo as a driving sim. Does it work? I am particularly interested in AMS 2
This is something I need to clarify before the full review. From what I understand, game needs to support VRSS2
@Boosted Media that would be really great ! Thankyou. I have been looking and yes it seems to need VRSS2 - I was wondering how that worked because Nvidia claim that games do not need any special code for VRss2 to work on titles .
With that confusingly they release a list of games it works with… So that's over a year ago and since then then silence - I can not find anything more.
The add to that your video where you explained how to activate VRSS within the Nvidia control panel on titles that supposedly didn't support it.
It’s a very confusing scenario that I cant see how to answer.
VRSS2 / eyetracking on a headset like the aero is a gamechanger.
I have a 3090 and I really struggle to get good frame rates on my Vive pro 2 and AMS2
I would be prepared to hold my breath and pay the money IF IT WORKED!
It needs someone with your tech knowledge to unravel this and tell the truth.
Great presentation, very good things that you took into account and which were not thought of by me. Thanks for this presentation.
I thought the eye tracking is to safe GPU power? I was hoping it allows us to safe 50% or more of GPU power because it only renders the spot in HQ where the eyes are looking to? AMS2 looked like stuttery, how much FPS did you had?
6:46 some 30 series gpus do have usb c. but not many. i dont understand why they got rid of them, they are capable of full hdmi specs, and room for usb connections etc on top of that. literally the most useful plug the gpu can have (besides a mandatory x1 hdmi and x1 displayport). every gpu should have one, regardless of whether its for vr (virtual link) or anything else. usb, or monitor or whatever (usb c)
Virtual link is even more important when running triples.
@@lyndenedwards2269 exactly. it should be on all gpu's. its not just for vr.
@@socks2441 I just mean I have 3 monitors running from 3 DP ports, so my VR is on the Virtual Link with an adaptor and works brilliantly. The thought of unplugging every time I wanted to run VR or Triples was not appealing... and the lack of it on the 3080 means I'll be skipping a generation of cards regardless of availability.
@@lyndenedwards2269 you can probably get HDmi to displayport adapters so you could use the HDmi port on the gpu instead of the USB c, but I get your point, and that would mean buying an adapter (that also assumes you don't also have your TV or something plugged into the HDmi already).
I was sort of in the same boat, I needed the HDmi port for my TV (4k60) the dvi for my extra monitor and another HDmi for my vr (wmr) so I had to either run my TV at 4k30/ 1080p60 or unplug it completely whenever I used vr, as the $60 displayport to HDmi adapter I bought couldnt do 4k60. I now have a usbc to HDmi adapter which can do 4k60 so I don't need to unplug anything. USB-c saved my situation.
@@socks2441 I was saving the HDMI out for a possible 4th monitor lol. Sim racing rigs get a little out of hand!
Are base stations needed for sim racing?
Man it's frustrating not being able to try out headsets yourself. I'm currently running a VIVE Pro and I love it, but I wouldn't mind spending a bit of money for an upgrade. But it has to be worth it and no matter how much I love your review, it's hard to judge if it's worth that to me.
Does the headset need to be supported natively be each game, or is it compatible with Steam VR?
Hey Will thanks for the review!
One question:
iRacing: How do you capture the image of the VR view? Did you use the iRacing mirror or did you use other way?
Hope you do not mind to share, since I Do streaming using VR and I am always looking to increase image quality.
Best,
Miguel
Also good to see folks drifting towards vr now...like everyone, non gamers too...i been on this journey since 2015-16 and the jump of tech between 17/18/20/21 has been amazing...from PSVR-G2 and about to make the jump to high end, it seems worth it now...
Can you use this if you need glasses? My vision is -2.0 on one eye and -1.5 on the other
Yes you can use glasses with it. I’ve seen that on their website and a few other reviews. There are also prescription lenses under development for the aero like you have with other headsets.
Drinking game for every time Will says "chromatic aberration" 😂
I find the eye tracking very innovative. Can the eye tracking be leveraged for the fov to shift as users glance at mirrors in the future? Would be a lot more natural than having to turn our head. What are the limitations in enabling such a feature?
It would not feel natural at all and make you sick instantly. The real fix is higher fov headsets
What you could do is have mirrors have a very low resolution texture and then switch to a high one when eyes are on them
really well done review. attention to detail will always stand out.
Im about to buy either the Varjo or the Pimax... I keep going back and forth from each of your reviews before I pull the trigger.
The headset looks very promising. I was introduced with the Oculus DK2 and then the Rift. It just quite wasn't up to par for resolution and clarity, really looking forward to getting back into sim racing with VR and motion
for now the price is drop to 990 ,how do you think varjo aero vs. bigscreen beyond ?
Money aside I prefer the bigscreen for simrscing. But the aero is amazing value for money now and is more versatile with more features.
How many base stations did you use and were did you place?
Not able to add one to my basket or bag as they call it .I know it'll be expensive but trust me I can afford it are they sold out or what?
Great review Will.
You refer to a lower of field of view with this unit, but would the field of view you are seeing be similar to what you would be seeing if were wearing a helmet in real terms. Or is it a greater FOV reduction?
Cheers.
Reports are starting to emerge of dead or stuck pixels with the recently delivered Varjo Aero's (I have heard of six reports so far). Does the Aero unit you have tested have this issue? I have a Aero on Pre-order so very concerned about how many instances of the pixel issue that I am hearing about.
Ours is a pre-production unit but no we haven’t had any troubles with it.
Does this headset use SteamVR and Windows Mixed Reality? or Just Steam VR?
Hi Will thank you for the review! How does one buy this headset in aus?
Hi, when are you testing the Vive Focus 3? Thank you
Whats your PC build and whats your frame rate at with setting on Assetto?
And was you able to max out graphic settings?
Damn add that Australasia tax to the USD and that's gonna be insanely pricey... That trickle-down may be good in a few years though, one day we'll see a good one similar for 900AUD / 1200NZD eh...
@@R0b0tMaf1a Just rough guesses tbh. But yeah NZ does get higher luxury tax than Aus I think, not just the dollar value so it is always pretty rough
Whats the resolution that you need to run inside steamvr to get this quality. One of the drawbacks of the Reverb G2 is that it need to run at 3164 x 3092 for native res. If this would run in the resolution thats on the website it would be easier to run then the reverb!
Also, thanks alot for these hands on kind of reviews with these headsets, really awesome!
I don't know if he's exaggerating on the clarity of the Varjo but 8KX has 4K native resolution? So how is Varjo clearer than 8KX? Doesn't this depend on your settings, graphics card? I did not have visual quality problem in car details and distances if you crank up the settings. There's always a trade off of course. If you reduce Pimax 8KX to a toilet roll FOV...I'm sure the visual will be even greater. I guess Pimax 12K will solve both world.
Do you need the base stations to play iracing?
Great review. I love the fact they pay attention to colour accuracy as well as high PPI, and it looks so well made. Headset is a bit too pricey for me though. FoV I'm not bothered with, but then again I've not tried the Pimax 8KX. Of course, the Pimax Reality could be the one which offers FoV and resolution, I bet you can't wait for that bad boy to arrive, but it's another 12 months I would say at least...
Don´t worry you missed nothing, if you haven´t tried the 8kx. For a 4k resolution per eye, the 8kx ist very blurry. Not sharp at all. Even the Quest 2 is sharper than the 8kx. And the colors of the 8kx are very pale.
@@stagrov8086 Ah thanks Stagrov. I wasn't seriously looking at the Pimax 8KX anyway. It will be interesting to see what the Pimax Reality will bring and I understand that's the start of a new series of headsets from Pimax.
@@dtrjones I wasnt seriouly looking at the 8kx too. But after I got the third advertising email from Amazon, offering me the 8kx, I ordered it. And yesterday, I send it back, because it was simply to blurry. I hope, that Pimax have learned from all their crappy HMDs before releasing the 12k Qled. (IF THEY EVER RELEASE IT)
Is it just me? The Eye Camera is cracking me up. 🤣
Lmao nope not just you. 😂 👀
would you recommend this headset for Flight simulator 4k?
You usually sit in the middle of an F1 car, right? In the video you can see from 27:30 that it is slightly too far to the left. That really triggers me. Can this be adjusted?
That’s because the screen capture only takes one eye or the other. It doesn’t look like that in game with the headset on.
Another great video Will. Look forward to seeing full review. I’m just getting into VR and just bought the G2. I’m trying to convert from triples to VR. Unfortunately I play ACC and I’m finding it undriveable at the moment. I’ve watched your video regarding the G2 and ACC. I have a ryzen 9 5970 processor, rtx 3090 gpu and 32g ram but only getting 20 to 30 fps through FPSVR and it don’t look good! I was wondering whether your settings would be any different since the introduction of DLSS, updated nvidia settings and steam VR? If there is could you post somewhere please or do a video? I’ve checked your discord channel but can’t see anything. Thanks in advance and happy new year to you.
I have locked 90 fps with g2 on acc.
With almost same level of hardware
Hi Will. That was an incredibly thorough and candid first impressions of the varjo aero. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this prototype, mate! Your transparency and honesty in this preview is much appreciated.
I was pretty set on getting the Aero, but after watching your video, and reading impressions from others with the Aero, I've changed my mind. I think I will wait for the Pimax 12K Qled instead. The thing is, you mentioned you have an Nvidia 3090 and an Intel 11000K processor. With those specs, it's a little disappointing to see that you could only get around 70 FPS in iracing. It seems that we're still being bottlenecked by current hardware to make full use of these headsets.
I've decided to wait until the NVIDIA 4xxx series comes out later this year, and buy both a 4090 card and the new pimax headset. It just seems like the current 3000 series is not going to cut it for those looking to be able to crank up their racing sims at max settings. It's a shame, but hopefully we'll get there with the 4000 series. Cheers :)
Do you experience any motion sickness when using VR for racing? That’s something I hear a lot of… never tried VR before but I would like to
I did at first but not anymore. I get headaches after about 40 mins though. Only time it feels weird for me now is when I come to a stop for some reason. I’ve never been a sufferer of motion sickness really though.
Air movement is a VERY WELCOME FEATURE. I get too hot using VR while racing with a full 6ODF motion rig. That's why I abandoned VR a while back.
This is very exciting, thanks for a great review/heads up.
Knowing your system specs though, which is basically the current state of the art, the upgrade path for me will be as follows..
Step 1: Wait for the 4090 and next generation Ryzen CPU. Step 2: Choose one of the latest generation of headsets.
Yeah this is the way to go I think. 3XXX Series aren't quite there performance wise, but the 4xxxx series should
you'll wait forever with that mentality. :)
@@sg0101010 nope. Already have a Reverb V1, not in use, and am running triple QHDs fine in iRacing on an overclocked 3070 and a good Ryzen 3900XT.
It can't do DCS on triples though, and I know the 4090 + future Ryzen would likely do that as well as drive these new VRs well.
@@sg0101010 also with the current GPU etc prices being what they are, it doesn't make sense to jump at every single new release.
I don't have the money to burn to upgrade that often. The 40XX is looking good for my needs though.
that's a lot of money right there
Just a question. How does the field of view compare with Oculus Rift. I am looking for the next vr headset.
What steering wheel system are you using please 👍🏼
Will you be doing a review on the quest pro ?
Let’s get some lap time comparisons! Different headsets and triple screens. I know it won’t be the same for everyone, but as I mentioned with the 8kx vs the Index in your last video, it really can matter and sometimes it’s difficult to know what’s going on until you really push and your times just don’t consistently match up. Anyway, awesome and thanks!
I like the fact with VR that you are inside the game world, but the thing I prefer with your triple screens is the fact you can see your own real wheel and hands rather than an animation that never totally matches your inputs. This fact about the triple screens also makes it all look more realistic as the in cockpit animations, particularly the hands normally are the least graphically realistic element in games.
The sense of 3-dimensionality and depth perception is not matched by the triple screens. VR makes you feel inside of the car and the circuit, and you see the apex much better than on a screen.
@@xBaphometHxagreed. No going back to non VR.
Have you used the Valve Index? How would you compare the FOV and experience in general vs Index if you have?
Is better this or the reverb g2 for ACC ?
Curious if this was better for eye fatigue?
is there a mirror app for varjo aero like the occulus rift had so i can record full screen inside a game using nvidia record function? thanks tee
Will, do you run the dbox actuators? when will they be reviewed?
