Upgrade paths

display

Fixed single 1280x800 LCD panel, no field upgrade · Panel is not user-replaceable; higher resolution and positional tracking required stepping up to DK2.

LOCKED

CPU

Bound by host PC GPU/CPU, no onboard compute to upgrade · All rendering happens on the tethered PC, so effective performance scales with whatever GPU drives it, not the headset itself.
