FarCry 1.3 Review

Those HDR shots do look very nice. It's too bad you can't use AA and they took a route that only Nvidia's newest cards can use. Source can use HDR and works on all DX9 cards, well except the FX bad boys crew.

I did find it funny that he says "but OpenEXR’s method seems to be one of the more accurate methods of producing High Dynamic Range lighting." and then shows a picture like this.
 
.. what happened to the previous farcry 1.3 patch thread ? it's disappeared.
 
You mean the talk in the 6800vsX800 thread?

Oh and I really think the water in 1.3...sucks.

Have you seen HDR in action in Far Cry? It looks very good, screenshot don't do it justice. However, I don't think it is worth the performance hit or the development time to implement HDR.

That is in the general games discussion forum.

Agreed, making it dull doesn't help, and there was no boost in performance derived from the change either :|

Edit: sorry i was looking at the 6 series performance. Ati get a 14fps improvment, strange..

Edit: This scene looked much better on p1.1 too imo

The HDR is cool though , hope it's implemented well/consistently in HL2
