@generic Finally Receives.

Part 1

First Impressions of the X from a person that doesn't care about color and doesn't see distortion from the 5K+

Pimax really needs to provide a cloth wipe for the X.

Shipped 1 Foam, I can live with it.

Headset gets slightly hotter than the 5K+(In my opinion, can’t conclusively test since I returned the loaner.

No SDE, Aliasing exist but SDE isn’t there.

Initial thoughts, I can see why the people that comment aren’t ‘Wowed’ by the 8KX. It’s not that it isn’t a very good headset. I enjoyed my it a lot, will continue testing. I think the thing main thing is you really forget that the X’s advantages are there because that’s how VR ‘Should be’. I’d bet if I pull out my OG vive right now I’d be WOWed. But I can’t go through that horror again.

I’m using the basic Pitool settings with no tweaks and Steam SS at ‘Auto’. Using a 2070 Super so underpowered. Bought eyetracking to test if it gets performance gains.

Elite Dangerous looks better than the 5K+ IMO much better. I’ll tweak more settings and get more into it tomorrow.

I will say this about the X, I’m finally not distracted by stupid crap that always annoyed me in VR and managed to stay in VR longer despite constant sweat. So that is a plus.
