    my vr experience is limited, but saying its like a rift s with a 170 degree FOV sounds like a winner to me :)

    Can the cheaper Pimax 5K Super REALLY be a contender for flight simulation in the current market? In this video, we take a DETAILED look and I give you my verdict...

    Just ordered the Pimax 5K+ and I am completely new to VR. Went through the internet, studying every single VR headset out there, the 200 degree FOV on this one is just too important for me. Hope I made the right choice, guess we'll see. Thanks for the video man.

    Couldn't put Alyx down when it came out, so it would be good to see you play it. Sometimes my oled display on the quest was too black and made it scarier.

    Hi Steve, you're getting that odd draw effect whereby items appear as you move your head around - I had this with my Artisan. I can't remember what I did to stop it though?

      @@solarisaint1 I've not used an Index so cannot help you there, BUT, I bought my Artisan 2nd hand (plus I already have base stations and controllers from my Vive) so it was quite a bit cheaper than the list price - if I was in the market now for a new headset then it would be the Index - no argument. What Steve said about the experience being a little like a Rift-S with a larger FOV sounds right to me.

  • @cruser2517
    @cruser2517 3 года назад

    Ok Steve, I gotta say it again ..... your doing yourself a serious,serious,serious disservice by not using the Pimax VR Experience software. Just the color profiles alone will make a night and day difference in the image on the Pimax devices. There's also a command line you can use for Alyx to eliminate the culling without using Parallel Projection. If you finally install Pimax VR Experience you can insert this console CMD in the profile settings for Half Life Alyx.... -console -vconsole +sc_no_cull 1 +vr_multiview_instancing 0 +vr_shadow_map_culling 0 +vr_enable_volume_fog 0

      I tried Pimax experience, but ran into bug after bug after bug after bug. I personally found that I could do all of these things (except maybe detailed color profiles) with just Pitool and steam command line arguments.

      Hi mate, does the higher 180 hz on the 5k super make a difference compared to the lower 120 hz of the 5k plus? I have a chance to buy a 5k plus.. I play flight sims, I don’t know what to do, ..thanks

    • @kingoftanks1682
      @kingoftanks1682 2 года назад +1

      @@paulovenz8037 The refresh rate doesn't make a massive difference unless you are playing something very fast paced such as beat saber or shooters. The biggest difference is with the higher refresh rates it lower the fov down. So 120hz on the 5k super is nearly full fov where the 5k plus is halved at 120hz

    Er, do you sniff ALL your headsets…? 🤔 shame about the headset in some ways. I was hoping for a nice compromise between the g2 and the 8k - the g2 fov makes me sad - but alas it wasn’t to be. 😞

  • @happyfndeplorable
    @happyfndeplorable 2 года назад

    FPS and refresh rate are not the same thing. You can have 60hz monitors at 120 fps game settings. You just won't see 120 fps as the monitor can only refresh 60 times a second. Even if settings are pumping out 120 fps pc and gpu. Half the frames are lost because of the refresh rate. To say you will never see 180 fps in game with this headset is disingenuous. The googles, if rating is right will handle 180hz no prob. It's the hardware feeding the googles that is lagging in performance trying to push all that data to the googles at this time. Those googles will be fine when the hardware catches up to what they can handle.
