Pimax Super 50ppd vs. 57ppd

[chiliwili69]

Here the supermarketing star Sweviver realizes the big change that Pimax made with the needed distorsion profiles of the 57ppd module:

 

In the past I was always complaining by the high internal SuperSampling needed for the distorsion profiles of the panel-Lense geometry of the Pimax Crystal (Original and Light) and Pimax Crystal Super 50ppd. The ratio rendered/physicalpanel was about 2.66, meaning you need to render 2.66 times the pixels of the panel, which is the case of the Super 50ppd require the enormous amount of 78 million pixels (6240x6280), and at 90Hz this is no reachable even by the best 5090.

 

With a 5090 in IL-2 for the Super 50ppd, to reach 90fps the resolution has to be reduced to 56 million pixels (0.85 custom res.)

 

But now, with this new 57ppd module of the Super they have reduced the FOV and it looks they need much less internal supersampling (ratio 1.34!! which is very good!) requiring "only" 39 million pixels (4348x4556) to be rendered, which is just half of the needed pixels of the 50ppd module.

And the amazing thing is that he shows it provides a better quality images.

 

It means that now a 5090 card is plenty of power even to add some extra supersampling, and a 5080/4090 card at full power will also be able to render those 39 million pixels at 90fps.

 

 

 

 

This is a very nice move of Pimax, but has a cost (less FOV). No more wasting GPU power to render an absurd amount of pixels.

Now they only need to reduce the size of the Super to the form factor of the BSB2... 😉  

Let´s see what they do with the Pimax Air Dream in terms of that ratio and the FOV.

In a couple of months they'll announce the increased FOV version.

 

If they do, I'll probably get that as just the optical engine.

It's nice an' all but I wouldn't trade FOV for more pixels, at 0.85 the image quality is already pretty stellar.
