About this deal

You can still find plenty of Reverb G2-V1 models at various online retailers, though they all seem to be above the list price that's currently available at HP. HP Reverb G2: Recommended PC specs The Reverb G2-V1 had a horizontal FOV between 80 and 90 degrees, with vertical FOV coming in around 5 degrees lower depending on how your face fits into the HMD. With the new intermediate gasket removed and eye relief dropped down to 9mm, you can expect the FOV to climb anywhere from 10 to 15 degrees horizontally and about 5 to 10 degrees vertically.

To run at full resolution, optimal results are going to come from the best graphics card options available now. However, you can go as low as NVIDIA's GTX 1080 or AMD's RX 5700 on the consumer side and NVIDIA's Quadro P5200 on the workstation side. With the headset established as offering drool-worthy visuals and audio able to keep up, it's the controllers that will ultimately cement a VR system as great or not so great. Unfortunately for the Reverb G2, even with a significant overhaul to the WMR controllers, they're still not great. The cable's ends are natively DisplayPort 1.3 and USB-C 3.0. Fret not if your PC doesn't include these ports. In the box with the G2 comes a USB-C to USB-A adapter and a DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort adapter. The hardware and overall build quality are high-end, but what's the Reverb G2 like when the displays light up? Windows Mixed Reality offers a decent amount of apps and games that you can install though the VR interface, including some real gems. The actual interface, which takes the form of a large home you can walk around, looks fantastic on the HP Reverb G2 – if this is your first taste of VR, you’re going to be very impressed.

More cameras. Better tracking.

As for half resolution, HP says you can run as low as an NVIDIA GTX 1060 or AMD RX 580 on the consumer side and an NVIDIA Quadro P3200 on the workstation side. For this review, the Reverb G2 is connected to a PC with AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU, NVIDIA RTX 2070 SUPER GPU, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM. That should be enough to get a high-end experience no matter what. FOV is more constrained than some competing headsets and even the past generation (Samsung Odyssey). This can be somewhat alleviated by 'upgrading' the faceplate with an aftermarket one. I made this upgrade and personally have found it worth the price for my skull shape/size. The boosted resolution of the HP Reverb G2 means it will require some modern PC hardware, but there are two modes — full resolution and half resolution — you can run for the best results. No matter what, for a processor (CPU) HP recommends at least a modern Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5. That's a Xeon E3-1240 v5 or better for those on the workstation side. To complement, at least 8GB of RAM is recommended. Teams can work on even the most graphics- and compute-intensive applications from anywhere. Foster Productivity

Not as plug-and-play as my old Odyssey Steam VR will by default make the resolution much higher than it should be for most apps. You ought to start with the Custom Resolution set to ~2160px given this headset's panels are square in aspect ratio. The Reverb G2's 2021 refresh coincides nicely with some advancements Microsoft has made to WMR in Windows 11. There's a new virtual environment that's much more streamlined than the sprawling Cliff House, plus you can now skip entirely the WMR portal and jump straight into SteamVR. For many people, that's a welcome change that saves time and annoyance.
