HDR and AA

[inveterate]

Do the recent HDR benchmarks also have AA enabled, or is it not possible to run both at the same time. I noticed the graphs had HDR specifics, but makes no mention of AA along with it..

Some one clue me in. THX

nVidia cards cant render HDR+AA except in Source games, ATI cards can do HDR+AA in most games, but there are exceptions such as Oblivion where the devs didnt take the time to make HDR+AA work on ANY cards....... really annoying.

Not quite, as of now ATI video cards can only run HDR+AA in Farcry and Serious Sam 2 (and Source games). If dev choose to enable it then ATI cards could run it but as of now most devs havn't done so.

A few games that nV can't- not most.

I c, So no problems in terms of processing power?

I'm not sure what you mean by processing power but if you mean can ATI cards run HDR and AA in games that support it then the answer is it depends. The X1900XT(X) can run HDR and AA with decent frame rates in all games that support it, the X1800 may have problems at high resolutions but I'm not sure.

Oh and just as an update there was just an oblivion patch that allows for HDR+AA.
