So those new crysis videos got me nostalgic and I installed Far Cry again. ;)

Problem is I can't seem to get HDR working. Did a fresh install and loaded the 1.4 cumulative patch. I bring up the console and type

\r_hdrrendering 7

It seems to accept the command because it outputs r_hdrrendering = "7" afterwards but there is no change in the lighting. When I had an X1800XL, I remember testing the HDR in this game and it seemed to work fine. I don't have AA enabled. Any ideas :confused:
 
Don't the ATI cards have problems with HDR? I thought I remembered reading somewhere where they weren't able to do HDR in Far Cry. I could be wrong though.
 
I don't think so. I swear I remember playing FC with HDR when I first got a SM3 card.
But that was well over a year ago. I guess I can try updating my driver.
 
I didn't know FC has HDR....

I think i should reinstall, i just got 8800GTS :p
