HP Reverb G2 Announced - next Gen

[RogueSqdn]

Placed my order tonight... I thought I heard somewhere to expect it in September. Does that sound right?

 

I'm planning on getting a new computer after 3080ti drops, so I may not get the best use of the G2 until then, anyway.

[VitS]

Has anybody heard anything from BestWare, in Germany? Apart from my initial confirmation of order, I’ve had no further updates.

 

I've mailed them couple of weeks ago and they explained that if your order status is "Processing" you are all set. As soon as they receive headsets from HP they will ship them and status will change.

[bilbosmeggins]

Thanks VitS. I just checked, and mine is shown as processing. So all good :)

[speed-of-heat]

yep same with mine :)

Canadian orders are up. Sebastian has two links on MRTV channel on YouTube. There are two retailers taking preorders. $850cdn. Came to $970 cdn including taxes and $8.00 shipping. $850 cdn is $635 US dollars. So this is pretty fair price.

Nice of him to let us know within the hour.... that was a great surprise this morning!

I have an i5 8600k processor. Will this bottleneck my system if I get a 2080ti to run a G2?

[metalnwood]

I wouldn't buy a 2080ti at this point in time. Wait until the G2 is released and see what is happening in NVIDIA world at the time. 2080ti is likely to drop price and more powerful cards available.

Well there we go then :) My G2 supplier says delivery about end of september. Who knows on that one but I am also dead keen to upgrade my 1080ti to one of the new cards depending how crazy the prices are on release.

Just a rumour at the moment. Nothing yet confirmed.

[Pride37]

Ok, I just pulled the trigger on amazon.es for 600€... Price for France was announced at 750€, so I couldn't wait anymore!! I'll keep my Rift S until I receive this one to see how it performs with my other Oculus games, but I'll eventually keep only one... The G2 seems to be the best solution for simmers, and I don't think Facebook will release a decent competitor anytime soon...

[streakeagle]

I finally pulled the trigger, too. I had the overtime to cover it. But I will need a stronger PC and gpu to enjoy it. That won't be coming any time soon unless I get a lot more overtime.

Also the rumours are for the announcement afaik rather than the availability of the products to buy

Corection!

 

9th September will be public announcement and release day is 17th for 3080 and 3080Ti. 3070 coming out in October and it is not just a rumor.

 

3090 is just speculation and will be eventually released if AMD 6900 XTX will be better card to keep Nvidia on the throne. This will be more like "3080Ti Super" than something significantly better.

 

According to rumors and available information's so far, look's like AMD will be competitive but not Nvidia killer as they like to call RDNA2.

 

In my opinion AMD already screwed opportunity by delaying of releasing RDNA2 two months after Ampera. Also Nvidia stop playing "chess" with AMD and releasing Ampere without further delay showing also how confident they are in the new GPU line.

 

In this situation with 2 month's delay AMD only could be competitive with price but the most people will buy new GPU in that two month's period no matter how good AMD will be.

what is the source, i don't see anything on nvidia's web page ?

[dburne]

Sounds like Sept. might be pretty rough on my bank account, if both Reverb G2 and 3080 Ti release close together.

Me too, but I’m ordering a new system with 3080ti.

LOL yeah you got it worse than me. Thankfully I got this build out of the way in Jan 2019.

It is just a rumour. If you know better then show us your source.

 

Also, in my experience, once the card is announced, it is weeks before it is available, and even longer till we get OEM versions appearing.

Steve Burke from Gamers Nexus more then reliable source. This dates is 99% accurate. Example cards are already shipped on multiple addresses for testing but due to NDA they cant talk about it more in details before announcing days. Is this for publishing first benchmark 9th or after release 17th I don't know right now but will be published soon.

Anyway this is just behind corner. :thumbup:

[speed-of-heat]

Steve is a great journalist and i personally like his work, but, that is still a "rumor"... just one from a more reliable source than otherwise...

Regardless when these cards come out, it will be very tough to get one in the beginning. Usually they sell out in minutes.

 

Aftermarket versions with different cooling usually come out a month or more later. Even those sell out extremely quickly. The way I look at, the release date does not really matter right away.

Yeah I will be holding out for EVGA's FTW3 version of the 3080 Ti.
