I chopped and changed quite a few times as did Neal White and a number of others. Dallas Hao must really love us guys causing massive headaches with our indecisiveness. However, I am now very happy, ecstatic even that I persevered and waited. Especially after reading comments such as the following. This is in regards to the Brainwarp1.0 beta Smart Smoothing thread.
A Mr.UU.
My experience after using it for two days:
Project Cars 2 looks amazing and runs really well!
I set the 8k to 72Hz, Steam general SS 100/Application SS to 50%, ingame all at Ultra(!), Particles low, Grass off, Better mirrors on, ingame SS 1.0, AA at high.
Outputs slightly more than 36fps, so it runs silky smooth - i can not believe it! It looks incredible!Btw.: image quality on the 8k is waaaayyy better than on my 5k+ (which i will return after Chinese spring festival to exchange it for the new, black dot free panels), really, waaaayyy better, big difference!
Yikes!
And another user who has both headsets.

I’m agreeing that with the smart smoothing, the 8k wins over the 5k now for me. It’s plenty clear when you turn up supersampling, has better sde, better colors and blacks. Now we just need it to work consistently without crashing on half the games I use.
You may have noticed as well, the Sweviver, Voodoo and MRTV post way less on these forums now. As owners of both hmds I wonder if their opinions have changed as a result of these new developments?Maybe they are too involved in Xtal? Either way, our lovable Heliosurge has both and no doubt will share his views on this.
Long live the 8K and its users faithful. Let our ranks swell to conquer the 5K+ infidels.
All Your Base Are Belong to Us
(please don’t take my deliberately provocative snidely comments to heart, it’s a little bit of fun whilst I wait for my 8K+)
