PSVR2 PC vs Pimax Crystal - OLED vs PPD - AMS2
I've had the PSVR2 PC Adapter a few days now (delivery in less than 24hrs from Sony!), so I thought I'd share my thoughts and compare it to my much loved Crystal.

So hoverboard diy or any diy sim wheel should theoretically work with this? Can anyone confirm?
Anything should work really
@@AdamsSIMporium perfect. Will try it after I make it compatible with pc 1st! Thanks for the reply!
Just ordered one! Picking up a new simagic wheel and base today but keeping the fanatec v3 pedals for now.
Cheers! Posting it out today for you. Enjoy the new wheel :)
Hi Adam, I would like to play Gran Turismo 5 on PC via RPCS3 emulator with my moza direct drive wheel and fanatec pedals. As I read on many forums and sites apparently I need a gimx adapter for that. Will your goods do the job? Thanks
Hi well if it's a GIMX you need, that's what I got, but I have no experience of the RPCS3 personally.
Oh I just re-read that, RPCS3 is an emulator, so makes sense that a GIMX is all you need. The emulator will see your Moza stuff as Logitech stuff.
It's a PS3 emulator so you can play PS3 games on PC even on 120fps and 8k quality. So your product comes with PS5 compatible pre-installed firmware If I'm not mistaken? Do I need to change that firmware to be recognized as a PS3 device instead?
@@Mirobolan You shouldn't need to no. It comes installed with firmware to emulate a Logitech G27, which is needed for a Drivehub to see wheel etc for PS5 use. Obviously you don't need a Drivehub, just the GIMX, but the same firmware should apply. I hhave used the GIMX and same firmware to play Forza games too which don't support my gear, they see it all as a G27 just as your emulator should :)
i love my PSVR2 so on PC so good👍 but i must the bluetooth Dongle on USB 2.0!!!!! on USB 3.0 unplayable nothing go. On USB 2.0 is perfect, no problems
I'm lucky in that the Bluetooth on my motherboard works fine :)
with Gimx i can use my Simucube 2 pro + Cube control wheel + p2000 pedal on the PS5? how?
Yes you can, you need a Drivehub and specific Nacon or Hori controller, all details here... ua-cam.com/video/flacVr_ZVB8/v-deo.html
dont know why but my 3080ti fans start spinning but crazy. When using my quest 3 its calm. Dont know what it is
Something is definitely wrong somewhere, my PC gets very hot with the PSVR2, but not the Crystal or anything else. After one of the three crashes with the PSVR2, even my case was warm to the touch! I have seen a post elsewhere someone saying the same, and no issues with their G2.
Little update, had three hard PC crashed in the lat few days, all when using PSVR2. I do not get crashes otherwise, so clearly related. Anyone else?
@@AdamsSIMporium no but I am using onboard Bluetooth Adapter on Intel chipset . It crashed when I had an external adapter
@@x32i77 I'm using onboard too. I have seen in another post someone saying their PC over heats with PSVR2 but not their G2. Well after one crash even my PC case was warm to the touch! I don't get that with my Crystal. Something isn't right...
@@AdamsSIMporium hmm strange 🤔
Also smartsmoothing works great with the psvr2,just played the forest at 120hz and smartsmooting enabled... just so fluid... And wow the moon at night is stunning!!
I have in steam the resolution set to 300% and 120 hertz, with my psvr2 on my 7900xtx, great and smooth image. With acc am2 and F1 24 I get 120 fps. Was very surprised.I just have 100% edge to edge clarity on my PSVR2, at 116 vof.
300% at 120 and running smooth? I think either you have some setting somewhere you have overlooked, or Nvidia want their 7090 back!
@AdamsSIMporium Steam showed 300% but it was a steam buck, tried to go from 300% to 100%, didn't work. Other sims showed 100% but everything was blurry, which isn't right.Steam VR sometimes does strange things.
Does the Ras1ution 2 work with GIMX adapter?
I don't know, but I have just sent them a message asking them if they would be interested in me trying one out...
And today i played a modded skyrim(and super sampled),and again i like it above the quest 3 and orginal crystal.. And when the night falls its a complete new game..
Somnium vr1 will combine both headsets . It will be super bright and super clear and crisp+ huge Fov
And huuuuge price lol
@@metalceesie219 it's worth it , I've seen that hmd at somnium Connect and was blown away
I hope it does!
I played some more games now even with the shortcomings like mura ,small sweetspot i am beginning to like it more then my quest 3 and orginal pimax crystal.. played some starwars quadrons,pavlov(push mode in custom maps),half life alex .. Somehow indeed it feel more natural..more immersive even with the shortcomings
It's fun going back and seeing games with fresh eyes again. I'm going to play Moss II later, it's going to be gorgeous! Played original on Crystal, and started trial of sequel on PS5, but now the combo of OLED with full PC graphics... can't wait :) Still, for the most part I think I will stick with Q3 as usual for shooters etc for the freedom to move and turn IRL. Some games lend themselves to the Crystal too, how many years before we can have OLED and high PPD in a wireless headset?!
@@AdamsSIMporium Damm i just installed Moss again,that looks stunning because off the oled screens with the brightness and blacks! Wow i totaly forgot that game.. i played it a while ago on the quest 3.. But this pc version with those colors i loved it!
Great review. Big win for psvr2 to just be in the conversation with pimax
Thanks and that's very true, specially at the considerably lower price point.
Can you share any supersampling settings, would love to know how best to set it up as not used AMS2 before. Using a 4090.
What headset? I actually don't supersample in general as with a Crystal I don't need to and I opt for performance.
@@AdamsSIMporium I have a Quest3 and PSVR2 so thinking of giving either a try (so cabled or VirtualDesktop AV1) - thanks
@@llamalandYT For AMS2 I'd say PSVR2 over Quest 3. I do love the Quest 3 but no point adding compression with wireless unless you need to.
LOL
NOTE: SteamVR runs worse than Oculus on some titles. Dirt Rally 2 for instance.
I agree on the faff with the boundary. It is maddening. I am in a race seat and can't look around 360deg every time I race. A way to disable it would be great.
Yes it's a shame our monitor can't display something to help with tracking and recognise space or whatever, like the TV can from the PS5 when in VR.
I know you're impressed with the PSVR2's colour brightness, but think that this is the headset without HDR. When the HDR is working, it's stunning. Also, regarding the aliasing, with eye tracking, the headset would be capable of SS and higher AA with the dynamic foviated rendering. It's only a matter of time before someone gets it all working and really showing what the headset is actually capable of over these other far more expensive options. The PSVR2 really is an incredible headset. It's just a shame the media, for whatever reason, decided to shit all over it.
Yes hopefully this will happen somehow, it's a shame to not fully utilise the awesome hardware.
I love that OLED screen even with its shortcomings you cant beat the difference those blacks make to an image
PSVR2 = Welcome to Canada, pay full price...... no thank you! 🤪 Pimax Crystal Light.... order one, grow old waiting for it, ordered May 31, still nothing. Not trying to be negative, not all countries get to have all the deals and quick delivery.
Yeh that sucks :(
Wired headset 🤮
Wire is irrelevant for sims though.
Ohh...Quest 3 fanboy? You love that sweet sweet compression that makes the image a smudgy mess and that motion to photon latency wich is double vs display port headsets. But hey...you have no wire =))) 🤮
Hi. Great video. Quest 3 or psvr2 ? Using q3 and thinking of buying pimax crystal light or even psvr2. Is psvr2 better than q3 for pc swimming? Cheers mate.
I honestly haven't done much PC swimming! But personally I'd say yes, for simming I'd choose PSVR2 over Q3, better blacks, brightness, FOV, DP connection... it just doesn't have the amazing lenses of the Q3.
Hi mate thanks for your review. I use ACC on PC, I bought meta quest 3 but I send it back to amazon cause I don't like the quality of the headset. I'd like to take a pimax crystal light without local dimming but now that psvr2 is PC compatible I don't know wich is the better choice for me. In Italy in this moment the head set costs 550€. Wich one you should chice? Thank you very much
The thing is one isn't better than the other, people will like each for different reasons. PSVR2 was on sale recently so maybe wait and see if that happens again if you're in no rush, but at full price it's still great... but so is the Crystal lol. What didn't you like about the Quest 3?
@@AdamsSIMporium I had the quest 3 for two months but I don't like it. I used it on ACC via link and via virtual desktop but the quality was bad
@@vitodiomede79 But bad in what way? Knowing what you didn't like would help to decide which headset you might prefer.
@@vitodiomede79ACC looks pretty rough in VR unless the settings are perfect and you’ve got a powerful pc. Even with my 4090… GT7 looks better.
@@ricepony33 wich headset do you use?
Nice video,i had the pimax crystal orginal but the warping and blooming with local dimming made me return it.Maybe i try the crystal light one day..But i still have the quest 3 and now also the psvr2 with the pc adapter...There is something what i realy like with the psvr2 are the colors the blacks and the brightness and it give a different kind off immersion what i realy like even with the shortcomings like the small sweetspot,mura,and the little softer image...And night races or flights or horror games realy shine on the psvr2... I only wish the controller tracking was better with shooters... The quest3 is better in this... But you explained it very well how i see it also... Natural!
I have PSVR 2 with PC Adapter and yeah it's a treat. I say the same as the author said - the image feels natural. Probably because of colors. And yeah I see mura as some physical effect, sometimes it feels like I have linen bag on my head and it's fun in some sense. Doesn't break the immersion (although can hit the visuals). Another thing about mura - it is rarely seen, I don't see it always. But in menus or may be the sky yeah it can be noticeable. As of resolution. Yeah it's not the best, way better than most headsets 3-5 years old, but not as good as some headsets today. However I have merely RTX 3070 on my PC, and for me 2500x2500 oversampling is a cap for my performance, at least for 120 fps. So I don't feel like I am missing something drastic. And yeah - sometimes it is pixelated at the distance. However for me colors and brightness is more fun and important for me
Thanks for sharing your impressions of both. I also had both, I returned the PSVR 2 because it was simply no good in my experience. Both the Q3 and Pimax Crystal Light are much better. The lenses of the PSVR 2, which I was initially ok with, are not good at all when you do a side by side comparison with the Q3 and PCL. Also now that I have PCL I will never go back to a headset with less than 2880x2880 resolution because it is simply stunning. The PSVR 2 also has major Mura problems which I have heard are different for each headset, but mine was really bad.
I get that, some people will prefer the higher PPD etc, some the OLED advantages. They are both great and for different reasons, so objectively one isn't better than the other, but with more choice we all win :)
I think with the PSVR2 costing so much less than the Pimax Crystal and having lower resolution display panels. I think its only fair to use supersampling to see exactly just how far you can take the fidelity of the PSVR2, its amazing how a console based VR headset has arrived into the PCVR world and really surprised everyone with just how good it is.
Not really... Just PSVR2 owners are hyped. For the rest it's a pass due to many factors! No HDR, no eye tracking, no improved feedback like in the PS5, needs a specific bluetooth and OpenXR (at least for now) it's not working!
@@gerardsitja The PSVR2 apparently does not need HDR to look fantastic, imagine what HDR will do when its enabled by Sony? The missing unique features you mentioned are not used in PCVR games so will not be missed, but the headset has the technology onboard and a simple firmware update could release the whole feature set if the demand was there? Many motherboards with the built in bluetooth work just fine with the PSVR2, but there are some adapters that are less successful but isn't that just PCs in general and the need to update the drivers which fixes the bluetooth connection issue in most cases?
@@gerardsitja Crystal users won't be hyped about it but as a Quest 3 user I'm hyped because it's OLED. I don't like LCD but i didn't have a choice before PSVR2 came along.
@@dtz1000 You did man!! Vive pro and both Samsung (the OG and the +) WMR headsets are OLED. I been enjoying my Samsung Odyssey + for almost 6 years, and couldn't be more happy as how well it still holds.
@@techinfusions Exactly this. My motherboard Bluetooth is all I used too.
Hope the new Pimax Super with Micro Oled screens will get a bump to 120Hz, and same 130* FOV like their Qled setup... ohh and I am curious how bright their Oled version will be.. same as PSVR2 or hopefully more...
i remember pimax super is micro led, not micro oled
@@quantumsoftware1424 QLED and OLED versions, and interchangeable.
Great thoughts - one thing I notice with psvr2 and the room mapping: if I start the headset with it looking at the main mapped play space it finds the volume, but if I start it sitting in front of my wheel and monitor it wants to remap. Maybe see if that helps
I will try that, cheers.
For the price of a Pimax Crystal you can get three.... THREE... 3!!!... PSVR2 headsets. That the only positive thing the Crystal has is resolution and clear lenses with a slightly wider FOV is rather mediocre, and far more mediocre than you rate the earbuds of the PSVR2. Especially considering the price difference.
I bought ps5 and psvr2 at lounge. I have pico4 on comp for sims. Now I have a vr headset with dp for 59 euros. Those who say I don't notice any latency, well I really do, my bass shakers work better too, even without latency. wrc rally sees more naturally, and runs very smoothly at 120 hertz. My pico is going into the closet. And the partnership is much bigger. 59 euros or 899 euros for crystal is not that difficult. By the way, I have 100% edge to edge clarity on the PSVR2.
I agree with feeling more real in the psvr2 compared to my crystal, although the sharpness of the crystal is just amazing, and like you, I love them both. 4090 paired with I9 9900K stock.
That's very strange because I had the opposite experience compared to the Reverb G2 (I haven't tried the Crystal). With the Reverb G2, it feels real, but with the PSVR2, it looks more like a game. The colors seem unnatural, and I can notice a screendoor effect. However, one huge advantage of the PSVR2 that no one seems to talk about is the extremely low input lag. Even with all the overhead of Steam Theater, I still have the same reaction time at 120Hz as I do on my 390Hz monitor on Human Benchmark. That's impressive, and it's at least 25ms lower than the G2. With the Quest, that difference could easily reach over 60ms. That latency with the higher FOV should be enough to make it the most competitive headset out there (maybe the Index came close but never tested it).
Wish you showed a night with the Crystal as well. PSVR 2 really is great tech. Too bad Sony will probably not be doing PSVR 3 for PS6 since PSVR2 never sold as big as they wanted. If they did one more and improved the little blemishes of this then it would have been just about perfect. Also i still fail to get why they aren't selling controllers separately for it. Just that alone might make some not buy it. Of course that is irrelevant to simracing where you use a wheel but most people won't buy it just for simracing.
People said PS VR2 will never happen either. Huge chances PS VR3 will happen. PS VR2 is still early in it's life cycle btw
Well you never about a PSVR3, but they should indeed sell controllers and I don't like that the cable can't be replaced either.
They will do a vr3 for sure. No need to worry
I'm really impressed how well the PSVR2 compares. Especially if Sony drops the price again, $350 usd is a steal for something of this quality.
Absolutely, ridiculous at that price really!
I got it recently on facebook marketplace WITH a PS5 for only $400. Sold the PS5, and now I essentially got the PSVR2 for $60. Insane value at that price
350 needs to be the new msrp if Sony wants it to keep selling.. Noway would I buy one for 550.00 plus another 60 or so with the adapter and a bluetooth adapter. Total price is over 600 at this point and that is way too much.
@@Jrfeimst2 350 is stupid for what it actually is. Eye tracking, HDR OLED with unmatched haptics both in the controllers and the headset itself? No way. 450 is more a realistic price, and even then that's cheap for what it is. Bear in mind, someone needs to get these features working on the PC.
Dude, I only pulled the trigger because of the sale and GT7 😂 But in all honesty, if they want to sell more and especially to the Ps5 / PC user. The right price is about $350. Anything more on that headset is just not worth it, in my opinion. I'm waiting for the PC adapter to be available so I can jump my PSVR2 to AMS2 and iracing. The headset is stupid comfortable. On the rare occasions of having a house to myself and no one to call me. I stay on GT7 comfortable, unlike my Quest 2
Perfect thank you!! I have the Pimax8kx & Psvr2 with PC adapter and wow you are spot on! Psvr2 in Ams2 is so vibrant like HDR the colors & contrast so amazing tho not as sharp as my 8kx and from testing The crystal for 3 days (not mine) th Crystal being brighter and more colorful than my 8kx and sharper. You answered all my questions.. I probably need to wait for Pimax OLED release or another future headset with OLED. I also use a 4090/ 58003D/ Psvr2 in AMs2 at 3432x3500 And my settings aren't maxed out in Ams2. I can maybe run five cars at night at 90 FPS. I am curious what Resolution you are running in steamvr for Ams2 Psvr2?? ✌️
Thanks yes with those two headsets I think you are all set to wait for the Pimax Super, which I hope will combine all the positives of the Crystal and PSVR2! I was running Steam at 100%, I can't remember what the res is but I believe it's just a little less than what you said, so I assume you adding just a touch of SS?
@@AdamsSIMporium That's the odd thing I'm not the sharpest spoon in the drawer so I'm a bit confused myself. Oddly, I'm running at 68% with aforementioned resolution settings. Possibly I'm still using my Pimax8kx WideFoV steam resolution mod thingy because something's not adding up. I'm so curious as to what your steam resolution is haha. So I'm not exactly sure what 100% resolution should be or is 🤔
with 4090 you can go to 4500x4500 with 90 fps without problems!
@@mh7711 what VR HMD are you running in Ams2 at 4500x4500 90fps lol. Your in-game settings would have to be super low. :)). Honest question mate?
$112 + $35 + $50 = play GT7 with your $1000+ sim racing gear. I guess it’s worth it because driving with a controller gets old pretty fast.
Cheaper than a second rig for PS5 too lol. I do think it's worth it, make the most of your gear and GT7 in VR is awesome.
@@AdamsSIMporium Wait, are you saying you're playing using a Quest 3 or you have the PSVR2 and a long cable?
Do you need the content manage installed on the same hard drive as ams 2? One channel said to put it on a different hard drive
I'm not sure, but maybe, CM is on my C drive, AMS2 on another one. Worth a try...
The mods aren’t showing up in game what is going on? I’m using the content manager says it’s been added but I can’t find cars or tracks? Anyone know what’s up
Anyone using with SImlab pedals?
Thanks again Adam, looks good and excellent price. Just had to order it and look forward to trying this in the near future...
Cheers :)
Long term thoughts? Is it awkward having those controls behind the wheel?
Not awkward at all no, it makes good use of otherwise wasted space. It's expensive though so of course only worth it if you will make use of extra buttons. It's good if you ever switch to a rim without controls, a vintage wood rim for example.
Are there any Japanese Togue tracks available?
Not as far as a I know unfortunately.
@@AdamsSIMporium thanks for your reply 🐣
Thank you
Thank yoy
I have a tgt2 wheelbase and im happy with the base for now as im waiting for the Direct Drive Thrusmtaser console version so my question is can i still use my TGT wheel base but with heuskinveld Pedals? will my wheel drop in performance or something like input lag or some sort of that?

Brook Ras1ution 2 seems much simpler to use
Not really because my gear isn't compatible with that, I'd still need to go through a GIMX first, same as with the Drivehub.
Hello mate I was wondering if you could help me out, I’ve been using CSL dd, Drivehub/ ps5 for 8 months without a problem and now it doesn’t work. Everything is updated and tried new cables. The hori controller controls ps5 through the hub no problem but nothing on the wheel. My process is plug hori in, then wheel, then usb to ps5, then my wheels display says “USB NOT CONNECTED” Are you having any issues? I’m wondering if it’s hard wear or soft wear problem. I’m really struggling to find a solution, I’ve tried contacting collective minds but they don’t get back to me
Hi, I'm having no issues. I don't connect things individually though. Wheel and Hori are always connected to Drivehub for me, which is always connected to the PS5.
@@AdamsSIMporium yeah sorry that may have read wrong. It’s normally always connected and has been for months. I’m just talking about recently it’s been playing up so I’ve rewired it and that’s how I do it
@@Readie1 Oh right, sorry no idea why it would just stop suddenly. Hard to troubleshoot the issues too, could be the Drivehub or Hori, or neither... All I can say is maybe contact Drivehub or see if they have forums, which I'm sure you have aleady. Hope you figure it out though.
@@AdamsSIMporium yeah it’s a pain. I’ve tried contacting them and get absolutely no response awful support. I’ve had to order another and try it even though I don’t want to give them more money, it’s that and prey it fixes or fork out for a GT dd pro
