Very happy simmer!

I see a lot of negatives on this sub Reddit but as someone who's switched from the Quest 3 to the super 50ppd ultrawide I'm over the moon. Yes you need beefy hardware to run it at full resolution 7900X3D 5090 64GB RAM are my specs but Quadviews alone are such a game changer for me and I don't need spacewarp or motion smoothing anymore with quadviews I can get a solid 90fps in VR in DLAA.

I did have to tinker with the quadview settings but now I barely see any artifacts and everything looks beautiful.

The video is my and my friend being idiots in the wind around Scotland and the islands.

Day 3 and 4 with the Dream Air

You may have seen my other two posts, I didn't get a chance to post yesterday, I've basically been taking all my free time and trying to fix my problems. I've mostly eliminated possibilities. I did get my quest 3 working again though, the virtual desktop output somehow got disabled in the device manager. So I cleas able to compare the two for tracking and freezes.

Day 3

- I updated my BIOS and reset my CMOS, switched to using pimax play. This didn't make a difference

- I submitted logs through pimax play, but today got a response back that they needed more information about what I was doing while the logs were taken

Event viewer

- I got tired of trying to debug stuff and just wanted to see what a bunch of games look like. So I played some dungeons of eternity, kayak VR, beatsaber, exd and of lies and rain.

- they would all have some freezes here and there but nothing consistent like HL Alyx.

- boy did they look amazing though, the screens on this thing rock

- I need to figure out what's wrong with my PC

Day 4

- switched to pimax openxr instead of steamvr to see if it made a difference for anything, it didn't.

- I submitted more logs of tracking problems. One in steamvr and one in the pimax home environment

- Got quest 3 working, virtual desktop was disabled in device manager as a monitor output

- Quest 3 tracking was way smoother than my headset and controller tracking via lighthouse (so something is wrong with my setup)

- Quest 3 froze every 30 seconds on the dot in HL Alyx as well, so points away from anything lighthouse / pimax related (This is the outcome I was expecting, but was nice to verify)

- I put the quest 3 remotes down on my desk and stared at them close up for a minute, buttery smooth tracking

- I then switched to the dream air and index controller tracking and put the index controllers down on my desk and they jittered around constantly, mostly within maybe a centimeter, but bigger jumps sometimes too

- i thought maybe one base station was bad so I disabled one and tried the tracking test with that base station only, then tried the other, there was no difference

- this makes me think something is wrong with my setup since these same tracking issues happened when having the controllers connected directly to steamvr, and the freezing every 30 seconds happens with both quest 3 and dream air

Stuff I'm going to try later today or tomorrow:

- remove any quest software on the PC in case there is like the oculus debug tool interfering or something

- clear my CMOS again

- doing a windows repair fresh install of windows

- doing a complete full fresh install of windows if the above doesn't work

Anyone have any other ideas? Any tools that would help me debug the freeze that happens every 30 seconds? There has to be something out there that would help debug that.

Basically I happy with the headset itself and it's visuals, minus the facial interface is kinda mid. And I'm really unhappy with my computer problems...

Just ordered a Pimax Super 50ppd - Coming from a PCL. What to expect ?

Hi all,

I have posted here a couple of times, i´ve been running a PCL all this year and it´s been amazing. i live in Iceland so i can´t purchase from Pimax directly and have to take another route in order to get a headset ( Amazon / Unbound XR etc ).

Today i bought a Pimax Super 50ppd, should be arriving in 1-2 weeks. I know the leap is not that huge from PCL but i believe it is a more complete package. Also Pimax have been delivering the Super for a year almost now so hopefully i will get a good copy.

My system : 5090, 9800x3d, 64gb ddr5 6000mhz.

I´m very intrested in the DFR - Dynamic Foveating Rendering in iRacing, and hopefully LMU will get it soon. I only play racing sims in VR.

What can i expect from this purchase ? Will this be a good upgrade ?

I mostly wanted a micro oled but that won´t be in stock for awhile i believe since Pimax is focusing on the Dream Air now and using that engine for that headset. Yes i want a Dream Air but i won´t probably get it until next year.

Those who have the 50ppd can you please share your experience ? and i thought that would be the best option for FOV / Clarity.

Best regards

Olafur from Iceland

What happens with Pre Order money if Pimax files for Bankruptcy?

Getting some bad vibes and hints that things at Pimax are not going well. Would we lose all our money if they go Bankrupt? Any type of protecting for this.

VR sales have stagnated SO BADLY, that I'm worried now. As after all these years Pimax is still running as a Kickstarter using pre order money to stay afloat.....what happens when that cash runs out now?

We did not receive a real update for Dream Air SLAM

Pimax, your latest video said this:

“…and the SLAM version is also soon going out..”

How is that a REAL update from all the other updates you’ve given us? It’s completely VAGUE and means you don’t really know when things are going to ship. Please be honest and stop REPEATING the same things over and over again in just different ways.

Instead, give us REAL information like:

  1. How many SLAM headsets are being produced per week?

  2. How many SLAM headsets have been produced so far?

If you can’t answer ANY of those STRAIGHTFORWARD questions, please explain why you cannot so you don’t continually lose trust from your customers.

Crystal light or 57ppd/50ppd with 5070 ti

Hello all, I’m looking to purchase a pimax headset. I have a 5070 ti with i7 14000k and mainly play American truck simulator or euro truck simulator 2. I have a quest 3, but want a clearer picture. I know the crystal light will work but I’m thinking about the super 57ppd or the 50ppd. I know the super would have to lower the resolution down to run on the 5070 ti. The only reason I’m thing about the super is maybe next year or two a gpu upgrade. Hopefully by then a 6090 or even a 7090 (if memory ever comes down). So I thought I would ask the folks with the headset your thoughts before buying. Thank you

Thoughts on extended support?

Hi everyone, just wondering what’s community’s thoughts about Pimax extended support?

It works out somewhere around 500usd (750aud) for 2 years, not exactly cheap but given the price of the whole thing may be worth it. Did anyone use extended support, perhaps with older models that would be out of normal warranty by now, and how was the experience?

EuroTruck Simulator 2 on the Pimax Dream Air

Having played both ATS and ETS 2 for years on various VR headsets, with the new experimental launch command -experimental_vr -openxr this is the most outstanding experience I have ever had in ETS 2, check out these colours from the micro OLED’s 😲 (this is through the lens on my iPhone 17 Pro Max !

Driving in ETS2 with the Pimax Dream Air VR is INSANE

8kx error

What does this mean and how do I fix it. Been getting this since upgrading my 4080s driver to feb2026 version to play a non vr game then rolling back to trusty 566.36 to play VR. Clean with reboots . Now my 8kx doesn't work and I'm getting this error.

I have 2 8kx and 1 5ks all do the same none work. Doing a clean win10 with only pimax client and 566.36 also same problem.

Even tried a 5v3a power injector when I thought maybe it was a USB power issue.
