Just curious if these displays at really at their max or not, as there is no scaler chip (in the 5k+) in the way of faster refresh rates.
@deletedpimaxrep1 : because this is a different display on the 5k+ and there is also no upscaler to get in the way, how much higher than 91hz can we go with the hz/frames per second theoretically?
Also can it go lower? 60hz has been mentioned for movie watching support but how about 80hz and 72hz for performance gains and movie watching support?
No scaler in the 5k only the 8k.
That may be possible if you overclocked the panel. However, I think the bridge chip maxes out at 90 fps.
I also think transmitting the same image to both eyes (monoscopic ) could be a huge performance saver.
So get rid of depth altogether? That sounds horrible
I agree with both of the those statements.
I do see a good usecase for monoscopic rendering. As I recall, one of the people in this forum said they only have one eye. It would be a great improvement for them.
It’s not getting rid of depth all together at all. In military applications wide fov hmds, flight simulators, and other head-mounted displays have all traded stereoscopic imagery for a Bi-ocular view (transmitting the same image to both eyes.)
You don’t lose any more depth then you would if you were watching an IMAX. Our visual system has many more depth cues then just stereoscopy.
If you had ever been to Disneyland in the early 90s or even California Adventure today, and try the Star Tours experience, or Soaring Over California, even though you only see a 2D image, the fov and sheer resolution provides enough depth information that it feels like you’re looking into the display rather than at it.
This would make a good mode for GTX 1070, and the lesser load could also allow low end cards to use the high FOV mode, while maintaining framerate.
If you need to buy a $1200 GPU to get a currently released game like Hellblade to run at 60hz in VR, thats just not practical, and will cut into any return on investment that Pimax hopes to make.
My 3gb 1060 can hit 3840x1600 or 3440x1440 at 60hz in several games if im not rendering on Stereo, and I optimize settings. So, a 1070 would be able to hit 30fps higher very easily.

compare these. What do you think @deletedpimaxrep1 @bacon
I have another set of comparison photos of stereoscopic vs monoscopic with the monoscopic at a slightly higher resolution than the stereo image. Theoretically, detail at distance should be better on the stereo image because it is twice the data. However, from my observations, the monoscopic image (although it loses a bit of pop is far more detailed into the distance. I notice very little difference in terms of depth perception. As it relates to this thread’s topic the frame rate could be much more stable.
VRGIMP27 is onto something.
we need to borrow from the military.
they always seem to get best toys first!
The military does not. R&d does. This goes universally for any country. Even odg didn’t really have any really impressive vr 2 years ago but now they do.
