In this video, VR Flight Sim Guy compares the performance of the Pimax Crystal Light and the Pimax Crystal with eye-tracking in DCS World. He explores the frame rate differences and overall smoothness between the two headsets, using various settings and configurations. Watch to see how each headset performs in a demanding DCS World environment, and learn about the benefits of eye-tracking technology for VR flight simulation. Below are some key takeaways from the video.
-
Test Setup:
-
The test was conducted on the Mariana map, known for its heavy graphical demands.
-
VR Flight Sim Guy used native resolution for the Pimax Crystal Light, achieving around 45 FPS without motion reprojection.
-
-
Performance Insights:
-
The Pimax Crystal Light, even without eye-tracking, performs admirably in DCS World, especially when downscaled to 3500x4142 resolution.
-
Using a high-end GPU like the RTX 4090, the Crystal Light can maintain around 45 FPS at native resolution and potentially 60 FPS when downscaled.
-
For those with a RTX 4070 Ti, similar performance can be expected with appropriate resolution adjustments.
-
-
Comparing with Eye-Tracking:
-
Switching to the standard Pimax Crystal with eye-tracking, the video shows a smoother experience, though the FPS increase isn’t drastically higher.
-
The standard Crystal achieved around 50-60 FPS, with potential to reach 90 FPS with further tweaking and optimizations.
-
Eye-tracking and quad views significantly enhance the visual experience, making it feel smoother and more responsive.
-
-
Recommendations:
-
For dedicated DCS World pilots, investing in the standard Pimax Crystal with eye-tracking is highly recommended for the best performance and visual quality.
-
However, for those on a tighter budget, the Pimax Crystal Light still offers an excellent VR experience with high resolution and scalable performance options.
