Is the Quest 2 BETTER than a $2k VR Headset?

3 жыл бұрынIs the Quest 2 BETTER than a $2k VR Headset?
In Today's video I put the Oculus Quest 2 up against the $2,000 VR headset; The Pimax 8K X.
The Pimax is a PCVR headset and has a 200 degree FOV, dual 4k LCD screens, & is compatible with all steamVR hardware, but it's not without some disastrous faults. Hopefully this video is educational, helps you guys with some tips & tricks/lifehacks regarding both headsets and prevent you from being a true VR noob.

My channel is about VR Content (obviously lol) I've covered many topics on this channel in the past such as PC Building, PC Gaming Knowledge, Gaming News. That can be CPM rates, Industry knowledge, Business knowledge, how to edit, how to build a gaming PC, budget or not. But VR is cooler so I'm probably gonna keep doing that.
I'm like the monkey you send into space for tests. I just come back with the results and give them to you for FREE.

@GetHip, some points you got wrong, np as its hard to use hmd, but overall very fair review good job: 1. FFR - fixed foveated rendering - it looks wrong in your video like a rectangle, once you changed it you needed to restart steamvr - then its oval and only on periphery 2. for colours make sure you set backlight option ro 100%, if it looks cold you may set only green channels brightness to -1 and keep 0 for other values, also reshade plugin makes games look like index level colours 3. culling on periphery - many games allow to disable it, otherwise you can turn Parallel projection and fix it, it requires experience but it can be overcome 4. for performance i find 8kx better than G2/VP2, I can play dirt rally 2.0 on almost all ultras apart shadows and on 150/120 fov with reshade plugin, it looks spectacular and motion smoothing (should be enabled in pittool and PP turned off) works very well Also if setup properly DCS looks just so cool in this thing

Man that 200 degree headset is crazy. I have two Quest 2s one 256gb and one 64gb and love them. Being wireless is awesome and being able to play PCVR is great. It is so much better for newbies to be wireless and to be able to take it places and use it. We took our travel trailer to an RV Park and they had a clubhouse and it was awesome to be able to play in that huge area and to play without a puter and the value for $299 or $399 is amazing.

I feel the greatest point to the Pimax is obviously the FOV, the resolution doesn't bother me so much with the Quest. But when I try to increase the FOV on Quest 2 by taking off the face cover, it just feels so much more immersive. That's what they need to do for Quest 3 and do it in a way that minimises motion sickness with maybe blurred border using eye tracking

Great review. Looks like the 8k VR works awesome. And the Quest 2 stacks well against it. I guess, for the 8k, they need a bit more work on the software. After how many years, we still, and should, get Windows updates, err security updates? Waiting for the updates to finish is ... time consuming, but presumably worth it. And games software needs time to catch up, please catch up. It's one of the minor annoyances of leaping well ahead of the game. Again, great review.

I own both a Pimax 8KX (which I am returning) and Oculus Quest 2 for DCS and I find your review very accurate. I actually prefer the Oculus Quest 2 and find it overall a better headset for this game because of the issues you describe, plus there is a very slight grainyness like a photo taken in low light conditions. The machine I run it on is an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor 3.80 GHz, 32 GB RAM, Geforce RTX 3080Ti, and I have to reduce resolution and graphics quality to such an extent that the only benefit I get is a wider FOV at an immense cost to graphics quality and resolution, not to mention the $1,000 dollars + base station + controllers whereas the Quest 2 does an overall better job at actually displaying the warbirds I am trying to shoot at. I had the itch for it when another well-known youtuber said it was so vivid the sunlight was bothering his eyes in the game (total farce); what I appreciate about your videos is that you never seem to have this kind of hype that so many others keep doing.
