Hi.
2 days ago i got an XFX Radeon RX 7900XTX MERC310 Black Edition 2 and so far all the games i tried work and i see a very good performance in the games. ( example valheim, msflight simulator ect )
But when i turn on my pimax software ( pitools or piclient/shop ) then the graphics card driver crash and freeze the screen every time. Only in rare cases can i get further than this.
After houres of testing and trying all kind of things i must admit i belive the problem is that he video card driver have a bug
related to VR and that is the only thing that will fix the problem.
I think the problem have something to do with the Displayport not sending the correct signal since the headset will not turn on the screen in the headset. Before i had the 6900xt and the pimax software and vr headset worked, but with the 7900xtx it does not work at all.
Sometimes i have been able to provoke the headset and pimax software so i was able to get parts of the headset to work.
I can sometimes get into the software and make the headset track the base stations on the wall and i can also startup example a flight sim named dcs world. I see on my monitor a split screen vr image that show what the vr headset should see, but there is just a black screen in the vr headset. Also if i move the headset fast and look around then the image cannot keep up and fall behind. In other rare cases i have had an image in my vr headset that look perfect like it should be with an pimax logo in the
vr image in my headset.. But when i turn on example dcs world again then the image goes crazy and look in all directions very fast.
I am sorry to say so but the 7900xtx and the pimax 8kx does not work together.
The pimax code on the back of the headset read 1978. I cannot read the other numbers since theyr are worn out.
A guy on the pimax xr forum said that i have the 2075 version of the headset ( maybe )
I tried with the AMD driver 23.1.1 and 23.1.2 but both graphics drivers crash when i turn on pimax VR.
For though who do not need to use a pimax we need to turn on pimax/pitool software and after that steam vr takes over and it function like a htc vive vr headset.
I have no onboard graphics and i also tried to move the cables around ect. but no luck.. Its a VR driver related bug i think.
I have reported the bug to pimax ( who are on vacation now ) and AMD via the radeon report bug tool, and xfx who just said they also belive its a driver related bug.
