As an SDE hater and an FOV unbeliever. Pimax you done it!

Xtal formerly HeroVR & StarVR has 5k wide FoV headsets. StarVR dropped 5k to a lower Res in StarVR One.

@generic Try small FOV setting in pitool helps for framerates and is in many games enough FOV (for me).

You can actually run this on 980ti?? Really?

I borrowed my old 980ti to my friend (switched it with his 1060 6gb) for iRacing, and it could drive my 8k with just a few less FPS than his 1060 his rift (auto steamVR SS setting)

980ti seems to be beefier on higher resolutions because of higher Ram bandwidth

Indeed, it‘s a simple calculation: 4K 360 degree videos spread 4K of detail information across the entire 360 degrees both horizontally and vertically, while in the 5k+/8k your average game will push 4K of detail information for the limited FoV of 170 degree horizontally and whatever vertically (135 ?). So clearly you will get much less detail even with such „high-def“ videos within the same FoV portion.

@Fresco already demonstrated 8k on 980ti & @Ludiks triales on 1060 6g for 8k with decent results.
