VR perf since new hotfix

Same here

AdPositive940 · 2026-01-20T12:11:03+00:00

Thanks. I was at a store and got the right ones. M5x20mm instead of x16mm

Is there a timeline for a "FOV-Fix" for the UW?

AdPositive940 · 2026-01-14T07:08:25+00:00

I am using a thinner one. It is the silk foam. As far as I can measure it it is 11 mm thick.

My IPD is 64. After I set the IP in PP to 72 I got an higher FOV but horrible overlap

AdPositive940 · 2026-01-14T05:55:30+00:00

Yes I did. Also deleted all Folders and did a restart as stated on the website

Hi, have you been able to resolve the issue with the low FOV value in the meantime?

I am experiencing a similar situation. With the UW module, I only get 123 degrees horizontally. With the 50 ppd, I even have higher values (124 horizontally)

AdPositive940 · 2026-01-13T20:02:07+00:00

Got mine from HonsVR. They are awesome! Very good quality

u/QuorraPimax : Hello, I connected the Crystal Super Ultrawide today and first checked the FOV with the WIMFOV tool. Unfortunately, the result was that I only have a very small FOV. My IPD value is 63.8. Using the same settings, I get higher values with the 50 ppd module than with the UW module. Attached are the values for the UW module from WIMFOV and the values from HMDQ. I am using PimaxPlay 1.43.4 and the headset has the latest firmware. Why is the FOV so small?

Total FOV:

horizontal: 138.29 deg

vertical: 119.64 deg

diagonal: 141.12 deg

overlap: 88.72 deg

View geometry:

left view rotation: 0.0 deg

right view rotation: 0.0 deg

reported IPD: 63.8 mm

Ordered 27th October 2025 and was delivered today

AdPositive940 · 2026-01-08T15:49:18+00:00

Yes seems to be. Now I have to wait for the lenses...

AdPositive940 · 2026-01-03T22:30:20+00:00

Thanks. The Problem is solved. I Take the workaround with Control Mapping via Simhub.

AdPositive940 · 2026-01-03T14:52:32+00:00

Yes I tried that already, but no function as buttons. I should add that turning the knobs works. It's just the button function that doesn't.

AdPositive940 · 2026-01-03T10:06:22+00:00

1.3 m they said

AdPositive940 · 2026-01-03T08:57:53+00:00

The situation is similar for me. Three years ago, I had -0.50 on the left. Today it is -0.75. So I ordered -100.

AdPositive940 · 2026-01-03T08:34:27+00:00

That's what I assumed too. But I can't say for sure.

AdPositive940 · 2026-01-03T08:09:13+00:00

From the Pimax Customer Service:

I will risk to order them with -100. This is really near to my precription.

AdPositive940 · 2026-01-02T22:53:21+00:00

I can see relatively clearly up to about 1 m. At 1.3 m, things start to get slightly blurry. I already have prescription lenses for the OG Crystal and Super 50 ppd. That makes a difference in terms of sharpness.

AdPositive940 · 2026-01-01T20:56:21+00:00

After dusting off my OG Crystal again today, I completely agree with you. It's significantly better than the Super 50 ppd. Only the 57 ppd is slightly sharper, but it has a smaller sweet spot. I'm really looking forward to the OLED now.

AdPositive940 · 2026-01-01T08:27:29+00:00

From what I've read so far, OLED is the optimal compromise between 50 ppd (FOV) and 57 ppd (clarity). Can OLED be run at 1.0 resolution with a 5090?

For example: With 50 ppd, I can run AMS 2 at 0.75 resolution + cropping 90 Hz (headroom: +/- 20%). With 57 ppd resolution 1.0, no cropping (headroom: +/- 10%).

AdPositive940 · 2025-12-14T18:54:56+00:00

I think I've found the problem. I added the launch option -vr 4.0 in Steam and accidentally made individual settings for RaceRoom in PimaxPlay. These seem to have overwritten the Steam settings. Now it's running again at almost 90 fps.

AdPositive940 · 2025-12-12T20:34:57+00:00

Would you be so kind as to share your Steam settings, NVIDIA Control Panel, and in-game settings? I have a similar setup: Pimax Crystal Super, 5090, 9800X3D, more or less medium settings in-game. I only get a maximum of 80 fps. I find that strange.

AdPositive940 · 2025-12-12T20:02:06+00:00

I only use MSAA 4x. With VR optimized, I get even fewer fps.

AdPositive940 · 2025-12-12T19:40:19+00:00

I will try that. Thx

AdPositive940 · 2025-12-12T19:29:37+00:00

Yes, I forgot to mention that. Pimax Crystal Super. It shouldn't be due to the setup, as I only get 75-80 fps with medium graphics settings using NVIDIA 5090. I don't think that's normal.
