Pimax Progress Updates is our bi-weekly column in which we share important bits for Pimax users. For questions or comments, reach out to a Pimax representative on Discord, or contact us via our support page.
Pimax Day Celebrations
March 14th is Pimax Day. Join the activities on the website with promotional discounts and lucky draws — and tune in to YouTube for the Pimax Star Award, as well as Martin’s (Sweviver) story of Pimax.
To join the VRChat event ( 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM (UTC+8), March 14) add ‘PimaxDaisy’ as a friend in VRChat or via this URL.
Events calendar
The Pimax Crystal Light will be at available for testing during the GDC (Game Developers Conference) in San Fransisco, from March 17 to 21.
We also got two airshows coming up. Try out Pimax headsets at the Avalon Airshow in Australia (March 25 to 30), and at Sun N Fun in Miami, US (April 1 to 6).
GPU compatibility (Nvidia RTX 50 Series and AMD 9070)
While the Nvidia RTX 50 Series now works well (as mentioned in our previous update), some users with the AMD Radeon RX 9070 and AMD RX 9070 XT are experiencing issues. We are working with the AMD team to address these issues.
Smart smoothing
We are aware that some users face compatibility issues in some games with Smart Smoothing. We are working on getting it fixed, but what would be helpful is to receive Pimax Play logs from when an error has occurred. Feel free to send these to calvin.yau@pimax.com
Wide FOV lens for the OG Crystal starts shipping
The lenses are currently in our HQ, and our team is doing the final packaging. Batch by batch (while stock lasts), eligible users will receive an email to pay the remaining amount and verify the shipping address, or receive a coupon for Pimax products.
8KX and Nvidia Driver 572.16 or above Compatibility Issue
After receiving memory dump files from our users and sharing them with the Nvidia team, the issue has been confirmed, and they are actively debugging the driver problem.
Rest assured, this issue will be resolved by Nvidia, so please stay tuned for their driver release updates.
