HP Reverb G2 Announced - next Gen

[Mustang]

If anything is being produced in China expect delays, they have just had their 'golden week' holidays in the first half of October and all manufacturing facilities have been closed, expect things to hopefully pick up pace towards the end of the month.

In Spain at least Amazon recently changed the delivery date of my unit to 4/5 november. I expect similar dates for other distributors.

Every time I have ordered something directly from China, it has arrived weeks ahead of schedule. That includes two items that were scheduled to get here in December, but arrived a week ago. So far its been my experience that the Chinese are surprisingly efficient, no matter what they have going on it seems.

I would be surprised if HP hadn’t taken Chinese holidays into consideration in announcing a release date.

exactly. any competent supply chain model accommodates for such "planned" events, one would think...

they start shipping !!!

Uh-huh.

 

I'll believe it when I have a tracking number and it's left the distributor. Too many of these false alerts lately.

Hi John,

 

Just a quick note to say little has changed since the HP Press release of September 24. All is going to plan since that statement. Delivery to first pre-order customers is expected first week of November. There are too many variables at this point to give an exact day. Please be assured we will get them out immediately we receive them.

 

Thank you for your patience.

 

If you have any other questions or wish to contact us please email reverb@systemactive.com

Reports that the G2 at half resolution is clearer than the Rift S at full resolution... I'm wondering how many, who have pre-ordered the G2, expect to be able to run DCS at full resolution vs running it at 50% resolution at an acceptable FPS? and with what GPU?

 

:smartass:

 

Thanks

Sorry, but why would it be any different to running a G1 in DCS?

[RogueSqdn]

Will be running as high as I can get it on my new system, which should be here around the same time as the G2.

So... is that a vote for 50% or 100% and what is your GPU?

 

I have only used the CV1 and Rift S, never tried the G1. :thumbup:

I certainly expect to make compromises considering it's gonna be driven by a 1080Ti until I can get my hands on a 30-something. For starters I'm hoping I can offset the increase in resolution with less reliance on supersampling (coming from a Vive Pro). Beyond that it's impossible to say until I get hold of the hardware.

170% and GPU is 2080Ti about to become 3090.

[Dangerzone]

180% and 2080 Super with the G1. I'm running 60Hz, 30FPS (Reprojected to 60fps). Shadows off, Terrain texture low. MSAA 2x

HP Reverb G2 Shipping

 

Hello! We have received our final units and are so excited about the HP Reverb G2 product. We are officially in production and started shipping the first units to our channel partners.

 

**What does that mean for you?**

 

Pre-orders will start being delivered in early/mid November and continue throughout November and December.

 

**When will the HP Reverb G2 come to my country?**

 

The HP Reverb G2 pre-orders have now launched in 27 countries. We don’t have specific dates for additional countries at this point, but we are working to roll-out to additional countries.

 

**Should I wait for the HP Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition?**

 

The HP Reverb G2 is targeted for Consumers and Businesses. The HP Reverb G2 Omnicept is targeted for Enterprise and Developers.

 

**Tell me something to get me extra jazzed....**

 

We mentioned comfort and clarity in our last note and continue to be amazed by this. Kaiser’s favorite thing about the final units: Of course the lenses and calibration are great. But what gets him really excited is the production version of our controllers. The final texturing, fit and finish feel great in your hands and the trigger and button presses now feel “right.”

 

**Thank you!**

 

We are so excited for your HP Reverb G2s to start arriving. We continue to be grateful for the community, partners, reviewers and press. It makes our work really fun and worthwhile! Thank you for the passion for this product. We will see you in VR!

 

Kaiser, Voodoo and Joanna

I run my HP Reverb G1, same resolution as G2, just fine now at 100% resolution :) That is with a RTX 2080 Super (meaning non Ti). The thing is, with such a high native resolution on the Reverb G1 and G2, compared to Rift and others, you don't need to go as high with super sampling and all that to get a clear picture. :) So many will discover that they won't need to push all that many more pixels around the screen anyway. :)

 

Really looking forward to getting G2, with better lenses with better sweetspot, better sound system, better panels (dirty screen effect gone, better colors and contrast), hardware IPD adsjustment, better cable.... resolution might be the same, but the new lenses and panels... got my RTX 3090 today btw ;)

[lobo]

Looks like we will be getting first hand reports on the G2 soon! :thumbup:

Although that is true to an extent, you still need to push the SS to get even better clarity.

Seems too good to be true, but I appear to have landed an EVGA 3080 on Amazon this morning. Supposedly due here on Friday but I'm not believing that until I see get a shipping notification.

 

Kinda relieved this popped up before a silly money 3090 did.

 

 

[sze5003]

Here I am waiting for a 3080ti after the AMD reveal lol.

[Kaos]

Well, I placed my pre order this week and have been informed that the ETA to warehouse is the 3rd of November so hope to have the headset in around a week from then.......

[Brun]

My 3080 acquisition took a bit of a twist after I posted the above on Weds. Got an alert that the Founder's Edition was in stock at Scan and managed to nab one of those, arrived yesterday. Never had a FE before but I really like the look of them this time round. Cancelled the EVGA and saved myself £60 in the process.

 

Haven't got round to trying DCS with it yet, that's something for this weekend. G2 can't arrive soon enough now.

Let me get this clear.

1) You saw a 3080 on Amazon UK and you paid for it to arrive today. (I have never seen any 3080 or 3090 listed on Amazon UK despite looking every day, sadly.)

2) You got notified by Scan that they FEs in stock and you bought one of them. (The FE is not even a stock Scan item!)

 

So, most of us have been waiting a very long time to get our GPU from Scan, and somehow by magic, you get informed they have FEs in stock, as well as Amazon having 3080s in stock.

 

You must be some kind of magician. I'm jealous!

 

I'm also going to ask Scan how they managed to get FEs, but yet didn't offer them to existing pre-order customers.

[Brun]

To clarify: Scan aren't actually selling the FE's via their website, but were chosen by Nvidia as the UK distributor. When they're in stock on the Nvidia website you're redirected to Scan who process the order.

 

And yes, I am a magician.
