Pimax's 8k VR headsets just got a 120Hz upgrade

pcgamer.com:

It's becoming more and more likely that you'll walk into someone's home and see a VR headset thanks to the uptake of more affordable and easy to work with options like the Oculus Quest 2(opens in new tab). For a long time, VR was an enthusiast only hobby, with idiots like myself spending thousands to play with dev kits to get a taste of what was coming for Virtual Reality.

Thankfully, enthusiasts looking to spend a little extra on their VR experiences today are getting a much better deal. Rather than playing with awkward experimental tech, they're able to invest in amazing VR kit that's leagues ahead. Pimax is one brand that specialises in VR headsets and for those looking for a more complete experience, the brands impressive 8k headsets just got even better.

Pimax has increased the refresh rate of its Pimax 8KX headsets from 90Hz to 120Hz. When Pimax refers to a headset as 8k, it means that the two screens for each eye make up the total. This means this headset actually has a resolution of about 4k per eye, which is still pretty insane. These Pimax headsets also support the full 200-degree field of view which made all the difference when we tried it(opens in new tab).

All of these standard Pimax features, plus the new upgrade in refresh rate should make for some absolutely buttery smooth VR experiences, assuming your kit can handle it(opens in new tab). And don't forget you may need to get some tracking accessories to go with it.
