The fact you are even comparing these two and that it is not a total blow out is a huge compliment or the Quest 3.

@VRFlightSimGuy 6 месяцев назад

Exactly

@RafaPolit 6 месяцев назад

I was going to mention this very same thing! It’s almost 3x the price (once you factor in the additional speakers, head straps, etc). So the fact they are closely matched is really significant. Sure. The Pymax may have some advantages, but are they within the diminishing returns scope? Thanks for the review.

@jessekoepp3928 6 месяцев назад

I was gonna say the exact same thing. Quest 3 really is a great pcvr hmd despite not being focused on it at all. I don't know if it's the chip inside or just the software but for me personally, connecting to my pc and getting into pcvr on steam is WAY faster on Q3 than Q2. Still has the odd (and often times infuriating) bugs here and there, but overall I was pleasantly surprised. I imagine having a beastly pc would make it even better.

@laartwork 6 месяцев назад

Play Skyrim or Hitman on both and Pimax is a huge leap ahead. Quest has so much blurry compression.

@shaneastwood6364 5 месяцев назад

The new zealand cost for the quest 3 is around $1100.00 (512gb) model the pimax crystal is around $3500.00 i have the reverbe g2 v2 and the lead has clapt out the cost to replace it is,around $250.00 nz considering its going to be bricked soon maybe a waste of money.i also have a 5k plus which has a knackered lead aswell.

@cloudsurfer9238 6 месяцев назад

A little tip I found during a week of tweaking the Q3 and playing around. I have this issue where I find the whites or brightness to much in the Q3, almost blown out sometimes. I know you can adjust that in the XR toolkit or use the sunglasses there, but they put a sort of a thin layer that are visible to the picky flyer.. BUT in the Q3 settings itself, under accessibility you can adjust the contrast natively and easily on the headset itself. Might come in handy to someone or for darkening the headset at night, takes but a second and can be done while flying :)

@701Builder 6 месяцев назад

@FrancoisDaniels 6 месяцев назад

I have several headsets (thanks to your reviews 😅), and my daily driver up until recently was the Varjo Aero. I was surprised to see how much I enjoyed my Quest 3, and find that I now use it as my daily driver. For me the perks were visual almost as good as the Varjo (There is a difference but really it is in the realm of nitpicking), the comfort is great (a little better balance than Aero after I installed the BoboVR battery), no wire hanging in my neck, and true edge-to-edge sweet spot. I paid $2k for my Varjo, and $500 for my Quest 3. I can't believe that the comparison is so close! I don't feel that the slightly better visuals on the Aero is worth the improvement to comfort provided by the Quest 3. Also I get to take down my Vive Trackers, so my wife will be happy that the family room is looking a little neater now. 😂

@gwiz6814 6 месяцев назад

I agree. I was torn between switching to my Q3 from my AERO. With the paid version of Virtual Desktop made everything easier and smoother. That was the deciding factor. On top of all that you mentioned.

@DrR1pper 6 месяцев назад

I REALLY tried to get on with the Crystal. I even bought it 3 times over the span of 6 months to test again (with the final one having resolved the lens edge to edge clarity issues I was having with the previous two as well as audio latency that has since been fixed with the low latency option) but alas, I could not use it for more than half and hour to an hour before pretty strong build up of eye strain/discomfort that I've never gotten with any other VR headset. I'm certain it has to do with the sub 1m focal distance used on the Crystal vs ~2m for every other VR headset, which produces the same accommodation-convergence reflex eye-strain issue you get with trying to focus on things less than 1m away on every other headset but the other way around (i.e. when looking in the far distance) for the Crystal due to the low focal distance. I don't understand how you guys are not having this issue with your Crystal. I'm wondering if it's because you spend a good percentage of the time looking at the gauges in the cockpit which is around the focal distance of the Crystal vs someone like me who sim racings only and is only ever looking out and into the relatively far distance at nearly all times. It's frustrating because if not for this issue, I would definitely keep the Crystal because the clarity is indeed unmatched. But alas I have to make do with the Quest 3 instead which i can race in for 3+ hours no problem. I'm really hoping the Somnium VR1 does not also suffer this issue. As good as the Quest 3 is, I do wish to return to Display Port.

@mcculleys3780 6 месяцев назад

I know it's a limitation of practicality, but I wish instead of the VR mirror recording, we could see what's seen in the headset. I have a Crystal and like the image quality but I do find a difference of what's seen in the headset and what's shown on the mirror for these types of videos. For example, the "sweet spot" isn't conveyed in these mirror images etc. Either way, it's the best we can hope for but something to consider when watching these types of review videos if you're in the market for a headset and thinking this is exactly what you'll see in the actual headset.

@ffffula5549 6 месяцев назад

I'm waiting for 12k because I think viewing angle is most important At least the difficulty of drawing speed at 8kx, which was impossible with 4090 and difficult even with the addition of 7950x3D, was greatly reduced by smooth flight. We may not even necessarily need the 5090. So even though I only have Japan's yen, a poor currency, I might be able to buy 12k.

@l8knight845 6 месяцев назад

I really want to buy the Crystal. I'm holding off on the prayer that the 12K will come without the battery and processor nobody wants. Hopefully, Pimax has been listening?

@PatJones82 6 месяцев назад

I have a reverb G2, and I would like nothing more than to have a crystal. However, if you look around on the Internet, all I see are posts about how they got bad versions and quality control sucks and the Customer Service sucks, and all kinds of other negative comments about the company itself and the way they handle issues. So, I want one, but I’m not going there. I guess I’m gonna have to pray that my G2 keeps working until a better model comes along. Hopefully with flight Sim 2024 coming along, maybe another manufacturer will step up, I guess time will tell.

@gameguru888 6 месяцев назад

I canceled my Pimax Crystal pre-order and got Quest 3 instead. No regrets. Running it on RTX 4090+Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Great visuals, lightweight, halo headstrap, no facemask, no cable (I am on dedicated WiFi 6e router and Virtual Desktop). Which OpenXR settings (color, upscaling, contrast, etc.) you guys are using for MSFS 2020? I had hard time getting realistic visuals.

@richardavery6935 6 месяцев назад

WIFI 6 made all the difference! Same, same on a 4080 card.

@701Builder 6 месяцев назад

I got a Quest 3 last week with the magnetic prescription inserts and have been doing just as you lots of tests. I’ve disabled open XR tools. Open XR 100% reprojection off. 13900K overclocked 4090 64GB memory. My Asus 6 router was upstairs and my flight sim rig downstairs, using virtual desktop in the sim I was seeing 5ghz at 1290 mbps. I parked the plane and went upstairs to the router and next to it got 5ghz at 2401 mbps. I got an Asus AXE 160000 and mounted on a shelf between the flight sim rig and driving rig. With this 6E router right above me seeing 6ghz 2401mbps. It’s made the Quest 3 the best I’ve seen yet. Still experimenting with settings but I’m getting great results so far.I used Asus AiMesh to make the router upstairs a repeater.

@701Builder 6 месяцев назад

I found turning down sharpening in virtual desktop from 75 to 40 helped make the visuals more realistic I’ve locked frames to 45 in I nvidia control panel and set to 90 in virtual desktop.

@richardavery6935 6 месяцев назад

Wow! I'm using an AT&T service that comes with the apartment complex. When upgrading to WIFI 6 the result was a stable 1200 MBPS for both transmitting and receiving. Big improvement! Didn't know 2401 MBPS would lift the game even further. (I play IL-2: Great Battles). I am using Virtual Desktop. And OpenXR for VD - to what I think is great effect. I can increase sharpness, super sample, as well as crank up brightness, color, and contrast. I achieve a steady 90 fps (no motion reprojection) with just the occasional stutter. Of course it's all related to NVIDIA panel settings and game settings. I'm pretty much maxed out on everything. @@701Builder

I just got a crystal and there are 2 additional issues I have with it that you don’t mention in this video. First is very noticeable chromatic aberrations, and second is a very subtle constant jitter of the image even when completely still. Not sure if it’s an inside out tracking issue or something else. Are you experiencing those as well or is it something with my particular unit?

It's an amazing headset, but would only get it if you've already got everything else. Quest 3 is still an amazing headset that punches well above its price.

I got the quest 3 this weekend, and to be honest- I don't see the hype. I tried hard to make it work watching multiple youtube videos (including VR FSG) and it simply not for me. Coming from the reverb g2. I'm hand strong on the Pimax.

@VRFlightSimGuy 6 месяцев назад

You're not alone. For some the image quality is enough, but for many flight sim enthusiast, it's just not sharp enough and has SDE.

@AlejandroLopez-wy2st 23 дня назад

You didn't talk about ASW of the Quest 3 compared to the Smart Smoothing of the Pimax Crystal. Quest 3 is way smoother for DCS, for example, and I don't know how your FPS are the same with both headsets, my Quest 3 runs much higher FPS just because it renders way less pixels in the GPU, and I am using a RTX 4090 also. Pimax Crystal is a great headset for visuals, I would use it over Quest 3 for simulation games,, of course. But when you buy a headset... mmm, you really have to think which games you are going to play. The thing is, with Quest 3 you will be happy in ALL games, even in simulators, because the lenses will make you feel happy anyway. Pimax Crystal? It makes me happy in simulation games but I miss so much stuff (Mixed reality, spacial computing, standalone, wireless, etc.)

@dathyr1 5 месяцев назад

LOL!!!!!! Well the question for me is not which one is better - it is which one is cheaper on my budget. I have the Quest 3 and enjoy it very much and for me has the visual qualities I need. I only do SIM racing and works well with all my racing games. That is about it. Also I don't see myself switching to even the lower cost PIMAX crystal lite headsets even if they are better. If these had come out before I bought the Quest 3, I might have gotten one of these. But I am now set with using the Quest 3 for various uses and will stay with this product for quite a while. Plus it is my first wireless VR headset I am not fussy or any kind of fanboy for any product, I go with what headset works for me, period. Take care.

@grindathotte 6 месяцев назад

My eyes are too far back to get a decent FOV with the Crystal; it's like looking through a letterbox. I'm very happy with the Quest 3. Against all reason, I am finding it best with 120Hz encoding on VR desktop, with framerate limited to 60. I think with only 8.3 ms between frames, you don't notice too much if the odd one goes missing (I don't fly around big cities much).

@demetrisyianni9175 6 месяцев назад

@ПавелФедоров-и9б 6 месяцев назад

About the focal length of the crystal. Since it is smaller than that of my reverb G2, I abandoned the insert lenses (-1.5) on the Pimax. These are such miracles))) (although I ordered them, well, that’s not the point)

@DDheliservice 6 месяцев назад

I'm still using my HP Reverb G2 but looking forward to an upgrade. Due to the many positive reviews of the Quest 3, I would buy this headset, but it is currently very difficult to obtain. I think the new Pimax 12K will blow us away. Still, best to wait and see which headsets will be released next and how good they are for MSFS2020. But, what is actually the advantage of a display port for VR headsets?

@harlanhughes5029 6 месяцев назад

The quest relies on compression to send the video over usb or wifi, which reduces image quality and increases latency compared to a headset that uses a native displayport connection

@MrNeilRoberts 6 месяцев назад

But …. Everyone was whinging about lack of DP on Q3 before it became mass market now most are raving about it … Meta keep on upgrading their software and on a 4090 this thing kills IMO 👍

@LotusSimulations 6 месяцев назад

One major point I hoped you would mention in this comparison is motion reprojection. Oculus' ASW works really well and is very resilient to stutters in the sim (when used with RTSS frame locking). Pimax's "Smart Smoothing" on the Crystal however does not work, and has never worked. It's been a complete mess since release, with terrible frame syncing and pacing and constant stuttering. Been waiting 8 months for them to fix it but it's only gotten worse over time. I just can't fly without Motion Repro/ASW, the juddering is like a cheese grater on my eyes, and I know many others who feel the same. I have some lingering hope that Pimax might eventually fix this, but until they do my Crystal will remain a $1600 paper weight. Sadly the absolute best reprojection ever made, by the wonderful Matthieu Bucchia, will be lost when WMR is removed. That's a real shame. Another small thing to mention is the focal distance. The G2's was 1.5m, which felt really good, but the Crystal's is 1m, which takes some adjustment if coming from the Reverb. Made me feel a little crosseyed at first, but you get used to it. The Q3's is about 1.3m I believe, a bit more comfortable. Solid comparison though, thanks!

How is the image quality of the Quest 3 in comparison with the Reverb G2?

@VRFlightSimGuy 6 месяцев назад

Reverb G2 is sharper and has a cleaner image due to being a native DP connection, BUT it has a tiny sweet spot due to the fresnel lenses. The Quest 3 has pancake lenses which makes a BIG difference to the overall eye comfort and the ability to see a lot more.

@cloudsurfer9238 6 месяцев назад

basically what Steve says. But alot depends on your PC, and how modded or not your sim are. The more power your PC can use on the Q3 the better the results. SO keep your PC and flying prefs in mind. :)

I will try this out. Thanks 👍

What do you recommend the Override Resolution be set for ultra settings?

@theegodelpozo 2 месяца назад

@@matthewchido8450 I was using 4800x5025 but now I'm using DLAA (1x) without overriding the resolution and I've found out that it is smooth and the quality is 90% using the override resolution. It's like a tradeoff but really happy with it. This way you can push up the settings to ultra and lightning effects to medium/high.

I've got a pico 4, but I'm struggling with my new Internet over WiFi. So I'm looking to upgrade to a native pcvr. Which headset would you recommend with the bigscreen beyond being my maximum budget ?

@FrancoisDaniels 6 месяцев назад

Honestly the Quest 3 is a good option. I use it with a dedicated WiFi 6e router and the performance feels like native to me. There is no perceivable latency. I have previously only used wired headsets include Varjo Aero, HP Reverb G1 and G2, Pimax 5k+, Oculus Rift. Get a native PCVR headset if you want, but don't get it because you feel that the "wire" is going to give you a better experience. If I had to choose a wired headset today it would be the bigscreen beyond, but I am personally waiting for inside out tracking, cooling, and built in headphones.

@del80y 6 месяцев назад

@FrancoisDaniels thx, tho I think to move forward I need a wired headset as I can't change routers. I have Starlink which is great speeds but I'm only getting 100+ mbps thru WiFi using virtual desktop, think the router uses wifi5, My old Internet was much slower but was using WiFi 6 and I was getting 1200mbps transfer rate.

@FrancoisDaniels 6 месяцев назад

You can have a second router. I have the second router attached to my primary router as an access point. My pc connects to the second router using a wired LAN cable. The Quest 3 or Pico 4 in your case would connect to the WiFi 6e access point. The only sucky thing is that you are spending a bunch of money on a wireless router whose only purpose is fast wireless VR. I named my access point VR to help me disambiguate it with my regular WiFi network.@@del80y

Great Vid! You mentioned eye tracking. Is the performance gain biger using dynamic foveated rendering as compared to fixed foveated rendering?

@VRFlightSimGuy 6 месяцев назад

Thankyou :) There is a jump yes, I did a comparison a while ago and it's about 6fps, not a lot I know but every little helps. If we had this natively, well, that's a totally different story.

@@VRFlightSimGuy He asks between fixed and dynamic FR. There can be no difference right? Only between FR and no FR at all (full view at same rendering detail).

Openxr gives the best performance after native Oculus standard. It is a huge srike to PCvr that MS is dropping it. 🤬

@mekowgli 6 месяцев назад

MS is not dropping OpenXR. It's not even theirs to drop. It's created and maintained by a company called "Khronos". I think you're confusing it with WMR, which is unrelated. WMR is more like a driver and software package for certain headsets (like the HP G2 or Samsung Odyssey) and mixed reality devices (HoloLens). OpenXR is an open tech standard for building VR games/apps and will continue to work perfectly after WMR is removed from Windows.

Really enjoy all your informative videos. And also like how you do your external camera views in VR. How do you set up your external view camera in VR? It appears that you have might have mapped the commands to you throttle quadrant. What are the commands and how are you doing it? A short tutorial video on this would be greatly appreciated.
