HP Reverb G2 VR Headset - As Good As They Say for Sim Racing?

Welp im excited i just bought a new unused open box G2 off ebay for $199 im very very excited it blows my quest 2 away its pretty blurry ill be using it for Assetto Corsa Assetto Corsa Competizione and pc2 and ams2 needless to say im stoked itll be here monday or Tuesday

I found one of these and includes everything for $150 I'm pulling the trigger on Payday I have to have it it'll be a pretty big upgrade over my quest 2 when it comes to sim racing

I absolutely LOVE VR racing I just think a lot of games are a bit unoptimized for it like the F1 game or ACC which makes it gittery
GT7 is phenomenal tho and I've heard amazing things abt Iracing and Automobilista

I purchased this G2 two years back and it still holds up till this day. i have not upgraded my nvidia 1080 yet but i can tell you if you can run this headset native it sure is clear and crisp. i found in steam VR if you can run it instead of 100% run the game at 150% and the sweet spot becomes better.

Would GTX 1080Ti handle this VR?

what gloves u usin?

How do you get those side mirrors working?

HI! This can be the first VR glasses. I just wanted to know if it is necessary to use the controllers in Simracing to configure or something. I saw a really good offer for the g1 but without controllers, so if i dont need it to simracing, that will be great. Thanks

I would imagine you would need 2X the G2 resolution and pancake lenses before stuff gets decently clear all over the FOV.

Will, great videos man! G2, PiMax 5K super or Valve Index? Which would you prefer price not a factor?

Reverb g2 vs pimax 8k x. Help me. What You recommend????

Reading lots of bad reviews for compatibility with some systems. Does HP just have endemically crappy people working in the driver development part of the company ? Sounds like this product has the same issues as almost every HP printer... Drivers.

you should check some other games. Project Cars 2 looks amazing in VR

I really enjoy my G2 but there is no substitution for quality headset. My Grado SR225 pairs well with the G2 and will no return to the stock ear pieces anytime soon.

I got 12900k+RTX 3090 but still Oculus DK2, and I must admit that I would buy this to experience Cyberpunk 2077 VR

The HP Reverb G2 v2 or the Valve Index as upgrade to the original HTC Vive? 🤔

Do you need a faster pc for VR/

Just got my G2 for my first VR headset and getting ready to us VR and iracing for the first time this weekend

Does iRacing now have AI drivers? Or are these online races?

Bought one, returned 2 days later. Sweet spot the size of a half dollar, all text outside that are very blurry. Rift S more consistent in clarity across the screen. Vibration on controllers is loud and feels cheap not good at all. Bit of pressure point on my temple's not to bad but Rift S much more comfort. The cable is thick and very grippy so will pull on you. When you first start up a lot of ghosting effects until it heats up, and screen door until it warms up. 10 mins or so then gone. If you want to surf the web you can not scroll with the controllers. You will have to use a mouse as well. Wanna type in search bar, your gonna need to lift up headset and use physical keyboard. Tried playing Pavlov you can not use 2 hands on weapons. Right hand will grip but left hand does not grip the weapon. So I'm guessing custom mapping is needed. Have heard this is the case on many other games. Cant hit anything with only 1 hand on a machinegun. God rays are very noticeable on the G2 V2, my Rift S never really noticed them. I purchased on sale for 499 but still not worth that. maybe $350. In games the sweet spot is not as bad, you really don't see it much but, on anything else you can only read 2 words and then left and right of those 2 words are blurry and the next ones very blurry. I wanted to love this but I'm going back to Rift S. Controllers hit when reloading weapons. I really believe the Rift S or Quest 2 are much better at software, easy of use, you can just play and even the screens have much bigger sweet spot. I think if you are sim racing its a great choice the sweet spot not as bad. Sim flying your gonna have to turn your head a lot to see the gauges clearly. I'd wait. The only thing it has going for it is sound and the very small sweet spot. Just my experience. Imma keep my rift s until something better comes along.

Looks laggy, what is your system spec?

Are you Jim Carrey in the real life ? :)

This thing has terrible reviews everywhere.

If its better quality than a Rift S, that is all I care about because this is the one I'm upgrading to next 😃

My son has the new Valve Index VR and I had a go with iRacing.. OMG the immersion is amazing. I think it has 1440 resolution per eye..certainly worth a look.

Nice video! Would you recommend this G2 or a triple 27/32'' setup?

Hey Will, im checking out one of your older videos for some VR content. I have a Samsung HMD Odyssey plus and am researching if there's anything worth upgrading to. Do you have any suggestions to the best VR headset for racing?

Varjo Aero early next year! The best VR headset resolution is like a monitor.

can you see a fanatec sq v1.5 on screen when you look at it with vr on?

g2 vs cosmos htc??

Can I use this head set with glasses dous anyone know would be a big help !

Thanks for the discount links. Just ordered a G2! Pretty excited when my new tower comes next week and the VR (o/c 3080, 5900x and 64gb ram)

It's a shame that the graphics and framerate drop that much on VR. GT Sport on PSVR is far more beautiful and smooth than that, but the price to pay is that there's only 2 cars by race... Still really impressive and I hope new generation headsets and consoles/PCs will bring us a full VR racing experience. Can't wait! x)

the rig looks sick but idk how i could deal with having the edges of the TVs being an eyesore...plus the distortion

i would love to have the Reverb G2. You checked that one out yet? they say it has no screendoor at all

It's been several months since you posted this VR video with the HP Reverb G2. Been waiting for your full review . Are you planning to do a final review ?

I was reading the description… looks like putting food on the table is not problem for this gent 😜

Mine arrives on Tuesday! So excited to join the vr revolution! :)

Greetings from Brisbane Mate! What graphics card are you running with the G2? In your estimation, what's the minimum card for good performance with the G2?

Great video, are you planning on trying the Pimax 8K X for sim racing ?

Try the Pimax 8KX. Similar resolution with wide FOV

What's the name of that vibrating seat?

Damn you really look like youre in a real car talking about vr 🤣 nice set up!!!!

Sorry for asking this, you say you like vr, but why you make very expensive triple 65" setup? Have you thinking about to make curve projector screen?

Received mine tonight, for open wheel racing mostly.
Big disappointment when I looked at the connectors, and then I have a second look at my laptop and find a mini display port that magically appeared. Racing seat coming tomorrow.

I can play a 4h endurance race with the HP Reverb G2 without eye strain

Watching this while I can't even get my headset to stop popping error 4-1. 😡

@boostedmedia did you ever make the full review of the G2

you don t have hany problem of view shifting like even just slighly some time? it make me crazy with the g1

Link to buy? How much?
