Thats a lot of percent
Yeah, its useless in competitive play, as it gives anyone whos NOT using it an edge over you, but in single player it really adds to the realism and atmosphere.

I didn't like it when I had a 6800nu. Now I have a 1900xt I love it. Playing the DOD:S free weekend with everything on max + HDR+AA with no worries about frame rate was suprising, and looked fantastic.
Like any effect, it can be overdone and it's hard to get it working as people would expect all the time. It's best when going from one extreme to the other and then should be more subtle/hardly there when pottering about in same-light conditions.
I had a go on Loast Coast again last night and there's a couple of walls that always seem impossibly bright, kind of wierd.
If all you think it does is that it increases the brightness then the concept of HDR is lost on you

If your playing the leet model terrorist, it should apply less hdr tbh
I'd like to see a server which kicks anyone without HDR then it'd become part of the game tatics. Problem is the sun is always overhead not from one direction so shadows arent cast properly, it'll be a while before this all pans out but it'll be good when it does

i took a gamble with Half-life 2- episode 1: could'nt stand Hdr, had to turn bloom on instead, seems like a tick box option to please Nvidia and Ati.

Give me HDR anyday over that! I got you beat. During the really hot and bright weather we had recently, I actually once said "It's like someone's turned up the HDR outside, it's a killer."badgermonkey said:Not ..... The Outside ???
