System Requirements

✅ Recommended System Requirements

To run the Pimax Crystal Super smoothly in most modern VR games and simulations:

• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4080 (or equivalent) 

• CPU: Intel Core i7-14700 (or equivalent) 

• RAM: 32 GB or more

• Storage: SSD with sufficient space for VR content

• Operating System: Windows 10 or Windows 11

• VR-Ready DisplayPort & USB connection (DisplayPort 1.4/USB-C compatible)

🚀 Optimal / Enthusiast System Requirements

For the best possible experience, especially for high-fidelity simulation (flight sims, racing sims) with highest resolution & clarity:

• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4090 (or equivalent high-end)

• CPU: Intel Core i9-13900K / i9-14900K (or high-end AMD equivalent) 

• RAM: 64 GB

• Storage: High-speed NVMe SSD (e.g., PCIe 4.0)

• OS & Drivers: Latest Windows version + VR-headset drivers & firmware updates

⚠️ Minimum (Entry) System Requirements

To get the headset working, but perhaps with reduced graphic settings or in less demanding VR titles:

• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070 / RTX 3060 Ti level (or equivalent) — note: may require lowering resolution scale, turning down graphics detail

• CPU: Intel Core i5 (12th generation or newer) or equivalent 

• RAM: 16–32 GB

🔍 Notes & Considerations for Buyers

• The Pimax Crystal Super is PC-VR only — it does not operate in a standalone mode. 

• Due to the ultra-high resolution (3840×3840 per eye) and high pixel density, you’ll need a very powerful GPU to maintain smooth framerates in demanding simulation titles.

• If you’re using the headset for simulation (like flight or racing) where detail and clarity matter, aim for the Optimal spec range rather than the Minimum.

• Make sure your PC has the required ports (DisplayPort 1.4 or USB-C/DisplayPort alternative) and that your VR tracking sensors/controllers are compatible and updated.

• Advise users to update firmware/drivers for the headset and keep system drivers current for best performance & stability.
