DOH!!!!

Read the quote from the link above:

HDR is the latest feature in the quest for greater rendering fidelity: Crytek have already added it to Far Cry as part of their 1.3 Patch and it is integral to Epic's Unreal Engine 3.0. Valve recently revealed that they are working on a special HDR showcase for Half Life 2 titled Lost Coast. Whilst Far Cry only implemented HDR via Shader Model 3.0, hence only working on Nvidia's latest-generation cards, Lost Coast will implement it via Shader Model 2.0, allowing for it to work on ATI's current generation.

They're the dead combines you killed.

Whatever, isn't there some guy called Voodoo3D around here and maybe a 3DFXuser or something?

Steam is telling me my processor is a 1.0 ghz, I have an Athlon 64 3200+, anyone know what causes this?

Their weapons are not loaded, that is what the doll does if it is weaponless.

I've taken some high-res screenshots and posted them RAW at my site:


View Half Life 2: Lost Coast screens (NOT 56K friendly!)


I have all video settings on high. Game runs quite smoothly. ;-)

It'd be even more amazing with a higher end video card, but mine is plenty fine.

The demo itself is visually great, but very short and leaves you empty. But it's just a tech demo..

 

[swamyg1]

It is one of the most impressive games I have ever seen.

Yes, even better than FEAR

 

[SarcasticDwarf]

My 9600 Pro died when I got to that hall, about 1 FPS.

 

[BW86]

I can't wait to play this

 

[igowerf]

Oy. I can't run it in 1280x1024 without turning the settings way down... Time to upgrade I suppose.

Whats your current VC? I wouldn't go out and upgrade just for Lost Coast personally

Make sure to play it on Hard difficulty guys. Then it'll last a good half hour.
