Bloom + AA v.s. HDR

I dont really see the beauty of HDR. there are not many games that support it. the only games that ive seen with HDR are some of the steam games. (css dods). My x1950pro doesnt do aa+HDR very well (around 40-50fps max).

I like bloom though. :) Cant wait till crysis!

you're counting on bloom on crysis? that's a bit odd. HDR looks awesome in the likes of oblivion and such, I liked the HDR in the lost coast demo, as well as on HL2:Ep 1. Oh and farcry looked great as well, but vegas was iffy, I guess the lousy port turned me off from noticing its graphic quality..

If you're talking about Oblivion, I can take bloom and AA over HDR, I'm not a huge fan of jaggies either. Besides, bloom looks pretty good too.GamingMonkeyPC

In making that compromise with the 7 series, I'd have to agree with you as well. Fortunately, and running with dubs (8 series) and we high rolling wid dem HDR an' AA, which looks more vibrant and excellent by the way. Bloom+AA looks bland and pales in comparison to HDR+AA.

lol ok, me too! that jungle setting will definitely shine with HDR too, all that ambient lighting screams it.
