Pimax 8KX

Post by Teppie Thermiek » Sun Jan 15, 2023 7:04 pm

Hello all!

I am putting together a simulator for our gliding club. We do not intend to make any concessions when it comes to quality. That is why we want to train with the Pimax 8KX.

On the forum I come across a few things about the Pimax 5K. But because the Pimax 8KX works with a significantly higher resolution, I wonder which video card I should go for at least.

My first choice is the RTX 2080ti, but the question is whether there are members who have more experience with this VR set and the video card.

Although we prefer not to make any concessions in quality, it is of course not the case that there is an endless budget available.

So which video card should I buy at least to run Condor in the highest settings, the maximum FOV and with a decent frame rate?

Thanks in advance,

Sander terpstra (SXS)

VARJO now has a (flight) simulator tailered XR-3, called the VARJO XR-3 Focal Edition. It has cameras calibrated for the 30cm to 80cm view distance, so cockpit instruments, PDA, cellphone and kneeboard are better readable...
Inside out tracking is still in beta.
