Splinter cell 3 is a nice example, looks pretty stunning with all the details turned up at high res. Ummmmmm can't think of any others tbh!

Most games that use HDR do so with SM3.0, Oblivion for example.
The only SM2.0 game with HDR that I can think of is Half Life 2.

The thread was removed for some unknown reason... James Bond (thread starter) still has a link in his sig, but it links to an invalid thread :confused:

Don't know why it was removed as it was a very useful thread and he'd put a lot of time/effort in to showing the benefits in each game etc.

AOE3 and Far Cry are ones that spring to mind aswell.

If he didn't ask for it to be archived, or bumped it enough, it probably got pruned.

EDIT - already said, must have missed that originally.

without sounding really stupid, how do you enable SM3? i've just got a 6800GS but see no option in AOE3 for SM3. or is it just something that the game will use automatically?
sorry bout the noob-ish question

You need to turn the Shader detail up in the option menu in game.

It wont say "Shader Model 3.0", just low/medium/high

It's set to very high in AOE IIRC
