That’s what they are doing with the 8K X. Are you asking why they aren’t doing just the 8K X and not doing the 8K? If so, then it is because they are trying to hit different price points for different people.

Yes, that is a good option… Pimax 8K 1 DP 2*3840x2160@50Hz … Please check @PimaxVR

it’s not so easy just put 2 chipsets work together! we need modify hardware and firmware accordingly.

To test a native 4k resolution on 1 display you need only 1 chip, so you can clearly see the difference between 2k upscaled on a 4k display and native resolution with only 1 display. Adding another one is only making tech process harder, means more cost and more gpu ressources needed, significantly.

Got a feeling that the 8K X “Full” packages are possibly the only pledges that will allow acquirement of Standard 8K & if 8K X surfaces, the pledger is covered?

Ok but that changes what has been said before. It IS possible already, it’s just some extra work. Your technician before said it was simply not possible (or I misunderstood him).

In the video PROJECTIONS, Episode 24: Pimax 8K VR Headset Hands-on! by Tested, it was stated that the 8K X (two cable version) would also be capable of upscaling (8:03). A clear case of Norm asking the right question for us. :slight_smile:

Look @ the money climb on their Kickstarter people, if you wants in, probably need to hurry…

Early bird X version gone. I just managed to pledge one. That at least leaves me the option to cancel it.

$95 shipping damn steep though, WTF, are they going to bring them with their own planes ?

@PimaxVR In the tested video, you state that you’re working on a knuckles type controller. Will that version be included in the deluxe kickstarter package? If so, I would change my pledge to that, since I didn’t want the old wand style controllers.

Will be an enormous box even though it’s said to be quite light so who knows.

8k X full package, early bird, including shipping $1044, that’s steep indeed.

Gotta pay to play, hopefully we don’t get played…

Done… waiting till January 2018

Well personally I don’t mind the price that much. But waiting till May without being able to cancel the pledge once the campaign ends, that just sucks. Who knows what will happen. So I’ll see what I do. Just had to pledge it though to save that $50, LOL.

Did you go for the full package? They should at least have the standard 8K ready by Jan-Mar. if we’re lucky.

Yeah full early bird X version. $1044 including shipping.

Mine totaled $996 for me.

Yeah shipping depends on the country I saw.
