Is undersampling for performance viable?

After reading the “pixel-mania” thread I picked up that SweViver was more concerned with performance than the difference between the two HMD’s. So I was wondering if any of you testers would compare the pimax hmd’s at PiTools rendering 0.75 and 0.50 with the other hmd’s currently on the market. Is the pimax still awesome on lower rendering resolutions?

Sweviver mentioned just that somwhere, and if I remember right, was talking about going down to 0.35 ish before the visuals really crapped out.

I’ll just leave this here

I believe that’s the steamvr setting. Unfortunately from what I understood, it’s unclear what exactly the PiTool scaler does but sweviver suggests the PiTool setting has a greater quality impact than the steamvr setting.

I think he uses PiTool 1 to 1.5 and Steamvr > 0.35, but as for what’s going on exactly, I’m still unsure.

Cool, that means we will have some tuning possibilities until ASW or brainwarp is available.
