hope you liked them; screenies don't really do the game much justice. the game isnt real playable on my system with these settings either, but hopefully they will optimize the final implementation better. this HDR is only beta.

EDIT: Here are some more screenies of FarCry HDR provided by McArra. Thanks!

The console command in FarCry to do HDR rendering is:
\r_hdrrendering "insert 1-11 here"
7 is said to look the best, but of course that is subjective.
 
yep farcry is the sexiest game out there.. though those screenshots, without AA, dont do it justice IMO... Farcry likes AA 😛.
 
you cant enable AA with HDR enabled. im hoping they will fix that too in the final HDR, but it probably wouldn't be playable.
 
oh really, damn.. either way, looks sehr nice.. am sure it looks even better at full size etc 🙂 the water shots are almost breathtaking 😛
 
uh...not sure, ill go and run around and come back and tell you; but it felt like 35-40.
EDIT: i played through a bit of the demo level (forgot what its called) and it was more like 23-35FPS. im sure that if you turned AF down some that it would become more playable, but the bottom line is they need to further optimize it.
 
I noticed no loss of speed in game with HDR on but obv a framerate app would show it does lose frames, BUT AA off to let HDR work is not to nice looking as jaggy, i didnt like it indoors when u walk past a artificial light source like wall or roof lights, its nice outdoors (yes i know its game and all is artificial) 😉

No can do from what I've read. HDR uses the same part of the GPU that AA does, making it a choice between one or the other.
 
i kinda wish they used a different method for the HDR rendering, besides openEXR or whatever. i mean. RTHDRIBL CAN use AA and HDR at the same time, and dosnt need PS3 so ATI cards can render it great.
it looks just as good or better then farcry's hdr imo.
 
If only my GT were here and working. Not that I'm crushed, I mean, I'll make do with the X850XT PE until I get it back.

I'm really wanting to play Far Cry with HDR. I don't know why it made the game better, as its just graphics, but there was just something about it that I enjoyed much more than than the normal Far Cry.

🙁

I'd have to choose AA, then, as I've grown accustomed to having it on. If I ever play a game without it, I get aggravated at jaggies 😛

Maybe a future GPU will be capable of doing both?
 
Wow! That's a sexy game, for sure! I haven't played Far Cry yet...no real reason why, but this gives me a great reason! 🙂

You say your videocard couldn't play it too well? Hm...I have a vanilla 6800 PCIe 256MB in a Dell XPS Gen4...do you think they'll make it 'more playable' soon with future updates? Perhaps I'll have to pick this game up. 😛 I was greatly disappointed with Doom 3, so maybe I'll be more happy with this one.

Great screenshots, thanks!
 
You might want to add my screenies to your post: link

They were running 1280x1024 8xAF HDR@7, but this forum only takes 800x600, so they are resized to 750x600

Also you may want to add the Cryengine demo screenies I took in my comp: Link
 
ATI dont do HDR same as Nvidia,its software part of P.S 2.0 (not as good) they use not like hardware of nivida is new ATI will though, no card at time was real DX9C / P.S 3.0 and hardware new HDR other than Nvidia and only beta in FarCry patch 1.3, maybe they will get round it next build of cards with working pvp. 🙁
 
I don't know why so many people have that sort of hatred for non A-A'ed 3-D games.

I personally really don't mind to play any old or new 3-D games without Anti-Aliasing or Temporal Anti-Aliasing.

I'm not saying A-A'ed games look "bad". I'm just saying I don't mind playing games without that graphics feature.

I mean, guys, c'mon, look at those screens, without taking the edges into consideration at all. Look at the textures, the lightning quality.

I vote for picture / textures quality ANYTIME over A-A.

Dude, there is very little real world difference between PS2 and PS3. It improves performance a bit in some areas, but the ATI cards can to HDR just fine. Look at HL2, Valve is releasing an HDR patch soon, and ATI is right up their ass....It had better look good!
 
HDR is not worth it to me. Too much of a drop in frames, and no AA. Looks rather fake sometimes too.

When it doesnt look fake, it looks very good. I just wish they would tone it down some. Glowing sand is not real looking.

If they could somehow make it work with AA, not take such a huge performance hit, and make it look not so fake, that would be great.
