Pimax Crystal Super 50PPD QLED Virtual Reality Headset with Controllers - Ideal for Sim Racing and Flight Simulation

Product Description

The Pimax Crystal Super delivers clearer and wider visuals than ever before, featuring 29-million-pixel QLED panels and an expansive 127° field of view supported by premium glass aspheric lenses. With uncompressed image quality through a DisplayPort connection, every detail in VR appears crisp and lifelike. This fully integrated headset includes high-fidelity audio, inside-out tracking, controllers, and more—all built directly into the device for a seamless experience. Its ultra-bright, high-resolution QLED display enhances color accuracy, contrast, and overall sharpness, helping VR applications look vivid and immersive.

Built for both today’s VR content and tomorrow’s applications, the Crystal Super supports SteamVR, OpenXR, and OpenVR titles and is managed through Pimax Play with extensive customization options. Thanks to Dynamic Foveated Rendering and adjustable render resolution, the headset performs efficiently on most modern gaming PCs. Pimax recommends at least an RTX 2080 for minimum performance and an RTX 3070 or higher for ideal results. The headset’s plug-and-play SLAM tracking uses four onboard cameras to map your environment and track headset and controller movement without the need for external base stations.

With 90Hz eye tracking powering Dynamic Foveated Rendering, the Crystal Super renders full detail only where your eyes are focused—significantly boosting performance while maintaining exceptional clarity. Its modular design features a swappable optical engine, allowing faster repairs, easy upgrades, and customizable configurations. Users can choose from multiple Crystal Super versions or purchase additional optical engines for even more flexibility.

Advantages

1. World’s First Retina-Level VR Headset: 50 PPD Ultra Clarity
   Crystal Super 50PPD sets a new benchmark in visual fidelity, delivering an unprecedented 50 pixels per degree (PPD), the first VR headset to
   truly enter retinal resolution territory. With a total resolution of 3840 x 3840 per eye (29.5 million pixels), it surpasses professional-grade
   headsets like Varjo Aero and Somnium VR1, making it the top choice for VR enthusiasts, developers, and professionals seeking unmatched
   visual immersion.
2. Larger Sweet Spot for Consistent Clarity
   Thanks to its next-generation optical design, Crystal Super offers a significantly expanded sweet spot. Users enjoy edge-to-edge sharpness
   and reduced image distortion, even during rapid head movements. Ideal for fast-paced simulations and high-focus workflows.
3. Eye-Tracked Dynamic Foveated Rendering (DFR)
   Crystal Super incorporates advanced eye-tracking to enable Dynamic Foveated Rendering. The system intelligently renders high resolution
   detail exactly where you’re looking while reducing GPU load in peripheral areas. In demanding use cases like combat flight or racing, this
   ensures maximum clarity where it matters most, cockpit instruments, enemies, or track details, without sacrificing performance or
   immersion.
4. Refined Structural Design with Premium Materials
   Engineered with user comfort and flexibility in mind, Crystal Super features a thoughtfully refined chassis:
   Slimmer faceplate for a more compact profile
   Magnetic face gasket system for quick adjustments and swaps
   Redesigned head straps for improved weight distribution
   Modular Optical Engine for future upgrade-abilility. 
5. Optimized for Ultra-High-End GPUs
   Crystal Super is built for users who demand the best and have the hardware to match. To unlock its full potential, we recommend pairing it
   with RTX 4090 or 5090 class GPUs. This ensures stable frame rates, full resolution rendering, and flawless HDR visuals, especially in
   graphically intensive applications.
