An Overview of Pimax

Pimax, one of the leading brands in virtual reality hardware, recently teamed up with Apex Sim Racing to distribute Crystal Light headsets.

Why Crystal Light Is Perfect for Sim Racing

The Pimax Crystal Light's ultra-sharp visuals, lightweight form factor, and wide 125-degree field of view combine to create an incredibly immersive experience. Perfect for those who want high-end virtual reality without the bulk or premium price tag of flagship headsets, the Crystal Light offers cutting-edge performance at a more accessible cost. Best of all, it’s a simple one-time purchase with no subscription required!

You can expect smooth gameplay thanks to its variable refresh rate options: 60Hz, 72Hz, 90Hz, and 120Hz. These settings allow you to tailor your experience based on your system's performance and the specific racing sim you're using. The headset includes fixed foveated rendering version 2.0, which prioritizes visual clarity where you're looking while reducing the load on your GPU in peripheral areas. It also features local dimming, which enhances contrast and visual depth, making it especially effective during night races or in low-light environments.

Compatible With Your Favorite Titles

As mentioned before, Pimax's Crystal Light headset is compatible with many different sim racing titles. The list includes rFactor 2, Automobilista 2, Assetto Corsa, and most notably, iRacing. It’s also fully compatible with a wide range of popular sim racing hardware, including wheelbases, pedals, and motion platforms. 

Its setup is simple and space-efficient thanks to its built-in inside-out tracking, which eliminates the need for external base stations. For those seeking even more precision, it also supports optional controllers and Lighthouse tracking, giving you the flexibility to customize your setup to match your racing style.
