Which Pimax do you have, and how do you like it?
I almost pre-ordered the Pimax Dream Air but questions on when it would ship, and the weird 'charge you extra for a service ..thing' on their website wasn't clear so I backed out for now.

Sim Racing. The only permanent use case I've found for it (and yes it's incredible).

Crystal Super OLED. It's okay, it's the only headset I've had long term experience with. The lenses definitely have some off central point chromatic aberration and you're still definitely looking though goggles.
Really my complaint right now is just the amount of processing power needed to keep it at 90hz. I can't get Assetto Corsa to run well at all compared to LMU.

So today I find myself at a quandry....
Decided to do the "tiny" upgrade to the desktops in the house. (my rig and the one
Mrs. Haus
uses). 3060s with 8GB to 5060TIs with 16G. For the first time I can remember I'm doing an upgrade NOT because of gaming performance. But rather that we're both leveraging AI stuff and need the memory on the cards to be high enough to run some more capable models.
Both our rigs are running 750w "bronze" rated power supplies. And my calculations show I could PROBABLY get away with running both cards in the machines (both our existing, and the 5060 along side) but it would be borderline.
Now I'm debating that, versus taking both old cards back to the lab to drop in my lab box and have it run dual and have those running something....

Hasn’t running two cards been pointless/worse than running one for like 20 years now?So today I find myself at a quandry....

The way I see it, the games my wife and I like playing all play reasonably on the cards we already have. If the 5060s are just used for the AI work that perfectly serves my purposes well. For now, I think I'll remove the old cards, upgrade in place. Then once I can hit the store or find a good sale on PSU upgrades, I'll upgrade them to 1000W PSUs and drop the old cards back in.
Then monitors get plugged into the old cards, new cards just run AI workloads and lean on the old cards as needed.
