OK, it appears vsync doesn't work during the stress test, I lowered my settings down and see framerates well above my refresh with vsync enabled...now it makes sense 🙂

Cronic - Try rebenching with 4AA. The 6AA does in fact revert back to 0AA when applied with an Nvidia card.

i rebenched at 4xaa and got a 106.91

Weird. It really looks like the results are borked if you only lost 3fps going from 0AA to 4AA. My results seem odd too. I should have lost more than 10fps going from 1600x1200 4AA/8AF High Performance Full HDR to 1920x1200 4AA/8AF High Quality Full HDR.

My results are all over the place too. Got my best fps at my highest resolution with everything turned up. Weird.

There are plenty of people who play Dod:S and CS:S. Considering that HDR is now avaliable to map makers and both of these "games" then I say it's far from useless. Not to mention valve(or turtle rock) would only need to take 5 minutes worth of editing and do a recompile on their maps to have functional HDR in any of their CS:S maps.

yes but you have to remember that most CS players dont have uber hardware. i know valve have done an awesome job with source and its very very playable on a wide range of machines but i can see alot of CS players simply turning HDR off in persuit of better FPS. afterall FPS counts in games like CS.

i know my bro's getting on fine with my old 9500pro (awesome awesome card) but i think throwing HDR into the mix would just ruin it.

at my uni we play CS:S together at the little LANs we hold....out of 50people im the only one with SLI. and 4 others have something 6800 or better. the rest play with older hardware ..9600's, Ti4200's, alot of GF2 and GF4 MX's,

HDR's a neat feature for sure.....but too few people are able to take advantage of it.

The point of topic wasn't whether or not players have the ability to run with said settings but how widely available it is for use.
