Difference between 8K-X and 8K Version

Pimax 8K Series
1

Hi everyone,

so far i know that the 8k-X version will need 2 DisplayPort Ports. And it will be released later. Sure, no Problem with that.

  • But i’ve read somewhere that the 8K-X won’t have the scaler like the non-X Version. Therefore it has to be feed all the time with the native “8K” Resolution. (Sorry can’t find the source for this)
  • Also in the Kickstater Comments a Backer named “suk w. yu” stated that Steam/Oculus Games need to be explicitly made for 4K VR Games otherwise they wont work completly on the 8K-X. But they would on the 8K.

While the first Statement would be somehow “managable” by haveing a lot of GPU-Power. The later is a dealbreaking for me. But before i regret my Decision of not backing the Project i want to ask if someone can confirm / failsify this Informations.

Best Regards
THO

Im fairly sure the X will have the scaler and will be compatible with steam VR and Oculus

We also need to be thinking 8 months from now because the whole concept is new to them. Im sure it will have options of scaling to suit game and pc spec. Pimax support have confirmed it in some threads but we need to know for sure. I want to change my pledge!
