List of Games That Support (officially or unofficially) Pimax VR Headsets

Spinelli · Aug 7, 2022

The recent mixed reality thread here got me thinking about trying VR again. I currently use 3x 27", 1800R curved, 1440p, Nvidia 3D Vision 2 monitors. I might buy a cheap, used Pimax to experiment and compare with my current setup and, if I decide to move over to VR, then I'll purchase either the upcoming Pimax 12K or Pimax Crystal (or possibly another brand if they go up to at least 130 degrees h.FOV).

The thing is, I play lots of older games and I'm wondering which games can be used with VR headsets. I know AMS1 has a mod which makes it work with VR stereo vision. What about other games?

Can we get confirmation on which games will work with VR, specifically a Pimax headset (does the headset being used even matter?)

List updated.

Will keep updating this thread as I find out more. Hopefully others can chime in.

List updated.

Raceroom Racing Experience, Project Cars 1, and Dirt Rally 1 can all use VR. Pretty sure they all run VR natively as well.

RBR has a VR mod that works really good, I'm quite sure also GTR2 got some VR mod, pCars3 also has VR support (I'd think the VR mod is for gmotor, so maybe also rFactor1/GTR can be run in VR)

EDIT: I started using VR with the oculus CV1, recently got a reverb G2" and - if you have the PC to run it - it's simply GREAT.
But to run at 100% steamVR resolution (that's about 1.4x headset resolution due to the need to compensate for lens distortion) you have to compromise with ingame settings:
on RTX 3080 12GB, AMD 3900X i can run AMS2 with everything at medium, MSAA low, but for perfect clarity it'd need MSAA medium and this would give very inconstant 67-ish FPS and feel really bad in VR. Also rf2 and RBR needed some time to find the right settings to get constant 75+ FPS (constant is the key, even 85 FPS can be bad if the maximum frametimes are high)
