Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

give it a read
looks pretty good if just a little over exaturated

HDR = high dynamic-range (lightning)
HDR is game dependent, eg FarCry uses OpenEXR HDR, while Splinter Cell - Chaos Theory uses a different type.
You can't set HDR in the display properties, but it must be set ingame, either via video settings in-gamme or editing a config file/console command.
[H]ardOCP did a review of FraCry 1.3 with HDR here
And yes, your 6800NU support HDR(OpenEXR and others formats), not just as good as the more powerfull NVIDIA cards.

From what I know, HDR is a method used in games to emulate the high dynamic range of light you find in the real world. You take it for granted because your eyes adjust to massive variances in light 'automatically', but a computer monitor simply is not capable of reproducing this high range of differing light intensities.
HDR adds effects to emulate this, like blooming effects, increasing contrasts, glare, etc, so that your monitor can 'appear' to be doing what it blatantly can't otherwise do.
When done well, it can work wonders in making a game look just that much more realistic.
Personally, I'd say Far Cry is a bad example of HDR.
Good examples are the HDR Lighting demo;

and the HDR bloom mod for Half-life 2.

Wow, interesting stuff. I just read that OpenEXR's HDR file format is identical to what nVidia originally created with their Cg graphics language. Cool stuff.
