Puma keep in mid too FPS can be map dependent.  On the first map I tried after getting the CL I cranked up everything.  It was a wow thing.  Next map FPS tanked.

Iracing is thee same way.   Wheen they redo a track graphics it tanks everyone's fps.  Old tracks no issues.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that Randy. Thanks!  So far, I’ve been very impressed with the improvement in visual clarity with the CL.  An observation from previous headsets that holds true here also, with a new terrain, it pays to up whatever I’m going to operate and sit still for a short time and let the FR settle in and eventually recover to the norm.

Noticed my head position in VR is slightly offset to one side.  Can’t remember or find a reference on how to adjust it in VR.

For you CL users do you leave your headset plugged into the power port, but with the display screen off?

On powering down the CL.  I do power it down because the old G2  would turn on if the power went off and computer restarted.

I did a  survey in iracing on this topic.  Most people said no but they do make sure Pimax Play is indeed off.  It use to be closing the program with the X did that but now that only minimizes Pimax Play so the screen is off but the headset remains warm to the touch.

I power mine down by closing PP, steam VR, then by your clock right click PP icon and close and do the same with steam vr. I have my video card running max performance when running the headset and until completely shutting it down the video card stays ramped up. So my headset is off unless I’m using it.

Anyone running a 9070xt with this device? Thinking of eventually upgrading my 2080 with reverb g2. Getting back into gaming after a few years but damn have prices gotten ridiculous!

Yes, do it!  I’m new with the CL, and it’s a fantastic improvement over the G2.  I’m running it with a 3080 and W10.  Highly recommend adding the 15mm face pad, gen2 top strap, and DMAS speakers to optimize comfort.  You won’t regret the upgrade.
