Good idea. My Pimax 4K is 60hz. I can say Ive never had any motion sickness to speak of

I guess it’s like when you stretch an image it becomes pixelated so they ss those parts, which are mostly around the peripheral. So this would be more of a performance hack rather than true foveated rendering it’s just going to be less sampling in the peripheral. Makes sense I guess but it is more of a hack and will take more resources than if the foveated rendering was actually built into the game engine;) nice touch though

@PimaxVR Any plans to have FFR working on AMD. GPU?

asw is amazing , sure there’s a few artifacts but Its smooth as butter.
what’s not to like?
I grew up in the 80s playing games on a crt tv with analog signals i few artifacts I can deal with

im curious as well i have a i7-4790 and a rtx 2080Ti Ive heard that due to high gpu loads my cpu will be fine but its usage may be higher than if i upgrade to something like 8700k .
some people say in certain games the cpu upgrade is palpable.

Honestly as a VR gamer I have read too many incombatibility issues not to stick with Nvidia/intel.
its suck but its true.

can’t decide whether agreement or huge paradox 
Then what you have read is wrong. VR works perfectly fine on AMD GPUs and CPUs. My question was specifically in relation to FFR which does work on AMD perfectly fine as long as the hardware vendor ensures their drivers work. Getting FFR working at a device driver level may be easier to implement on 20X0 range of GPUs but is does not mean other GPUs can’t do it.
Remember the implication from Pimax that 2080Ti was running much faster because Pimax implemented parallel reprojections? Reality was that would work on all GPUs and does even on my Vega 64.
Between ~25%-30% of people use AND GPUs (don’t think marketshare), so Pimax would be silly to implement features only for Nvidia users.

The gaming console demonstrates iften tgat devs have under utilized Amd something that is in the process of change.
Always we are thinking is there a way to squeeze just a little bit more out of this bulging pile of wires & mysterious stuff. It used to be a rule of thumb with gfx cards to skip a generation and we could be sure to see a pleasing improvement. So 980ti users should be looking at a 2080ti or indeed an AMD equivalent if it arrives but the cost is horrendous. Myself on a 1080ti has to accept I’m no longer sporting the latest and greatest and do what I can with software improvements mixed with a bit of overclocking . Otherwise I’m giving Nvidia permission to double their prices. Its hard playing the waiting game but if we just keep spending well…

You & others have been enabling Nvidia for years. I remember Nvidia founder being pissed when Amd pulled the rug out during early Vulkan days in Ashes of a Singularity bench & others.

Think I might of placed that last comment in wrong thread lol. But all the same if brainwarp is as good as recent motion smoothing on steamvr then great software can certainly make having the latest ‘…ti’ card irrelevant. Yeah I’ve been funding team green for a few years but recent pricing on 2080ti actually makes me question if I could ever buy of them again.

Unfortunately AMD had been enabling nVidia for years. I was excitedly waiting for the AMD announcement at CES for something to really rival the top end 2080 ti, even if it didn’t have DLSS and hardware ray tracing. The price point would be more palatable… I was very disappointed, especially as they had moved down to 7nm. I have no reason to think that better gpus will be coming later in the year. Later is too late anyway. My only vague hope is that the Feb 7 release brings some cheaper 2080tis to tempt us to stay with nvidia. For none vr the new AMD card is still a great card (probably), but at the moment vr still kinda needs as much power as you can give it due to all the supersampling you need

Amd gpus are often not utilized properly by devs which doesn’t help. Amd already has Radeon Rays (real time ray tracing).
I was surprised my old r9 390 can power the 5k+ & 8k reasonably for it’s age. Gaming consoles for example demonstrate how under utilized.
And Nvidia finally conceded to support Freesync.

So anyway, can we get an estimated time of arrival yet?

Vive wireless adapter doent work with AMD
uh… Motion Smoothing still doesnt work for AMD
those are just two i can remember recently off the top of my head, it seems like every time a new feature comes out for something cool AMD users are an afterthought. I’d be surprised if anyone at pimax has eveb tested their PiTool on amd hardware,
If i had an amd anything right now i’d always be nervous.

yeah i feel the same, I hated giving in to nvidias BS pricing, I am enjoying the 65% increase over my 1080. but I hate myself everytime I look inside my pc cases glass window.
I was totally going to wait it out but MRTVs benchmarks scared me.
