With options like Oculus Quest 2 now more affordable and easy to use, it’s becoming more and more likely to step into someone’s home and see a VR headset. (Opens in a new tab).. VR has been an enthusiastic hobby for a long time. Fools like me spent thousands of dollars playing with development kits to taste what’s coming to virtual reality.
Thankfully, enthusiasts looking to spend a little extra on today’s VR experience are getting a much better deal. Rather than playing with awkward experimental techniques, they can invest in great VR kits that go ahead. Pimax is one of the brands that specializes in VR headsets, and for those who want a more complete experience, the impressive 8k headset brand is even better.
Pimax has increased the refresh rate of the Pimax 8KX headset from 90Hz to 120Hz. If Pimax calls the headset 8k, it means that the two screens of each eye make up the sum. This means that the resolution of this headset is actually about 4k per eye, but it’s still pretty insane. These Pimax headsets also support the entire 200 degree field of view, so trying it out made all the difference. (Opens in a new tab)..
In addition to all of these standard Pimax features, a new refresh rate upgrade allows for a very smooth VR experience, assuming the kit can handle it. (Opens in a new tab).. And keep in mind that you may need to get tracking accessories accordingly.
According to the press release, Pimax has been working with Nvidia on this effort. Gain is obtained by accelerating data transfer between the PC GPU and Pimax headset and improving signal quality. Therefore, there is no doubt that it will work better on Nvidia-powered devices. In the first place, you need a fairly heavy machine to power one of these headsets, but again, we’re talking about enthusiasts.
Another advantage of Pimax headsets is the trade-in system offered by the company. This allows people to replace old headsets and upgrade to new headsets, and transactions are usually fairly reasonable. This is especially good if you upgrade to a 12K headset when Pimax releases it. (Opens in a new tab).. If you like staying at the forefront of VR, it seems like a great system.
This refresh rate upgrade is said to have been rolled out to the recently manufactured Pimax 8KX headset, and the website has not yet reflected the change in the list. Some headsets are also on sale. This may indicate that you are removing old inventory that may not support the new 120Hz refresh rate. It’s a good idea to check with Pimax before you buy, just in case.
