      Well you can play them for sure, without any issues. There's also a good discount for you if you send a prove that you are going to upgrade from G2 to Pimax. learn more here: shorturl.at/zHzpW

    The main issue is not the display port capability, but the CPU + GPU are not sufficient to run this headset at its nominal potential.

    I use the quest 3 with virtual desktop. no gasket! it is the lightest, most clear images, wireless system I have ever used. I'm leaning with pimax but it keeps failing on all those needs. Comfort, clear image, wireless, long battery life. I'll most likely move over to meganex.

      This is because most of them plays sims with openXR. That's why SteamVr not register them.

Did you see #ad written anywhere? And even if it were an #ad, you should be happy for me because it means I’m good at what I do-not just belittle other people’s work.

      The Super doesn't need DP2.1. The 12k needs DP2.1.

    • @JShodanVR
      @JShodanVR  3 дні тому

      Super and I guess also Dream Air, doesn't required dp2.1. The 12k instead yes, but such a high bandwith is a problem to deliver. Pimax also tried to use two cables, but match the two display images is even worst.

    • @Szabby999
      @Szabby999 3 дні тому

      @@JShodanVR I don't really agree with you here. Super will have to deliver almost 30 million pixels at 90hz. DP1.4 has got a bandwidth around 32 Gbps and I am not sure it would be enough for a native workload for Super. DP2.1 can not be used however, because it has got hardware (chip) limitations at present.

      @@L_Emir_de_Passy Varjo XR4 is 3840 x3744 at 51 PPD, so both the resolution and PPD will be higher on Crystal Super qled 57 PPD version. DP 1.4 can do 8K (that is 33 million pixels) 60Hz, so image compression with DP 1.4 is inevitable. However I don't think even 5090 could run this native at 90Hz, but a DP2.1 could have made Super a more futureproof product. Tomorrow CES starts, we will see the hands on reviews.

    I don't really see why the super (OLED) is better suited to VR flight sim than the Air. Only real reason to get a super is to get the QLED version with better FOV.

    • @JShodanVR
      @JShodanVR  3 дні тому +1

      Hum, the super is better for sim in the LCD versions. For the Fov for sure one of the reason. But also the refresh rate. The fact that you'll be able to change module, maybe with different lens and display. And for my personal opinion is that the super is born wired headset. The air will be in any case something in the middle. With the possibility to go wireless, and for my expirience for sim is alway better to have something more stable possibile.

    • @HelmutBemboka
      @HelmutBemboka 3 дні тому

      @JShodanVR well refresh rate isn't really very important for flight sims because you can really hardly render at more than 45fps - especially at that resolution. I don't see why Type C display port should be worse than dedicated display port, and same with stability, given they use the same OLED optical engine. So yeah I reckon FOV is the main difference.

    • @JShodanVR
      @JShodanVR  3 дні тому +1

      For flight sim you right. For sims like driving I think it matters. Yes on paper usb-c display port shouldn't be worst but any extra steps from gpu to headset usually brings some issue. We will see :)

    • @oczhaal
      @oczhaal 3 дні тому +1

      Because the FOV with 50 PPD is 135 ° maybe?

    Too expensive! No wonder vr is a niche thing if a headset costs almost 2 thousand dollars. Normal people aren't willing to spend that much. If it was not for meta or psvr2 then i see almost no one use vr. I can see the oled module making any sense, at least it provides realistic picture quality, motion and immersion. Lcd are terrible not only in contrast but also for motion in my experience. Even if it has local dimming it won't be as good as oled

    • @Crazy09starkillor
      @Crazy09starkillor 3 дні тому

      Vr is niche also because it has an unflattering old reputation to shed, thanks to shitty first experiences from normies and the "tech demo" games.
      Quest 3 is more than enough value for anyone who wants to jump into VR. Hell, it's one of the most impressive price per value wise tech in recent years.

    • @JShodanVR
      @JShodanVR  3 дні тому +1

      You also need to consider that not all companies are like Meta or Sony, which can afford to sell products at cost price. There are companies that need to monetize through early adopters. If you recall, VR before the Meta Quest 2 priced under $350 was an expensive market. The prices of devices like the Vive, Vive Pro, Cosmos, and Index were far from affordable.

    • @Nobody-Nowhere
      @Nobody-Nowhere 3 дні тому +1

      Its the highest resolution headset out there, you also need a high end PC to use it. Its not intended as a mainstream device, there are cheaper mid range headsets out there. The benefit of the LCD is also considerably larger FOV, thats probably the main reason for it.

    For simulation enthusiasts? I do not agree... The Pimax Crystal Super clearly lacks a target audience, especially since MSFS 2024 cannot utilize its native resolution, even on the most powerful consumer PCs available. It’s either far ahead of its time or simply irrelevant for simulation enthusiasts at this point.

      @@JShodanVR :) I've tried many headsets, too many. Right now, I'm using a Pimax Crystal, which is performing at about 60-70% of its potential in Microsoft Flight Simulator and 100% in Elite Dangerous, DCS, and casual VR titles (90FPS). However, the headset is bulky, too big, and is also too heavy. I often dream about something like the Dream Air, but that's just a fantasy for now.
