Mr._Kong said:Looking very good, what kinda card are you running on and whats your FPS average?
I'm running a GF6600 GT (AGP) (8x AF no AA)
As I said my FPS only drops with 1-2 FPS with bloom on.

This is interesting it seems we have yet to come to any sort of conclusion as to who gets the "good HDR" and who gets the "bad HDR", At first it seemed simply being able to play at a high resolution would make it look good, but that was refuted. Then it looked like it might be older cards didnt support it, now that seems to be refuted.
Maybe people should repost now with the graphics card they have and weather or not it looks "good" and for now ignore weather or not its has a playable fps (just to get to the bottom of this). I just got a 7900GT which should support that latest bla bla, so if it only works on higher end New cards then mine should look good.

welli have a 7800, and i have tried it with different resolutions...HDR ON with anything less than 1280 x 1024 looks pretty dodgy tbh

RO should be finished downloading on my new rig. I'm at work, and when I get home I will try HDR Bloom on it, and see if it is better with or without. Then I shall return with screenshots.
New rig, btw:
AMD64 X2 4800+
2 GB RAM
nVidia 7900GTX
20" Widescreen LCD @ 1680x1050

I have a 6800 ultra, I run 1280 by 1024 and I cant run with bloom on. When I said uber resolution I was talking 1600 x 1200 or higher. I havent read every post, but I havent heard of one person that said it was horrible.

The verdict is in. No HDR for me. Its not horrible, its just the crisp look of 4xAA and 4xAF blows it out of the water. That said, I love ROOST so much more when it runs smoothly on high settings.
I will post screenshots later. All that is installed to convert them from the massive 5 MB files down is paint.
There is no time!

I see no difference at all.DirtyRat said:here you go butch, I have 1280 x 1024 resolution with everything on full:
HDR Bloom ON
HDR Bloom OFF
I personally dont see a huge difference, but with bloom ON the atmosphere of the actual map does seem more realistic. However with lower resolutions I think it makes it look worse.

X1600 pro on AGP8x
I run 1600x1200 with 6AA and 16 Trilinear AF, with blur on, shadows full, etc.
I'm CPU limited though, only have an Xp2600 and so am stuck at around 30FPS average depending on the map (most maps higher, Arad and a few of the open spaces maps lower).
Hopefully though, that chip will be an XP3200 (top of the MB's support) in another month or two, then I can't wait to see what FPS I get

im unclear on something.... is the bloom bugged soas not to run with AA or something?, cause people seem to talk as if they have to choose between them. now ive got a 7900gt and seem to run it with all on fine- bobcobb, your rig should piss all over this game, all on, AA+AF, and bloom...i dont get it

I'm going to be in the minority here, but I quite like the blur it causes. It's like a cheap version of depth of field and AA rolled into one. It makes it hard to see things at a distance, but it looks much more believable (and pretty).
But then, it's never been about the frags for me.

I'm in agreement with you, it does make it look more real looking but it also handicaps yourself. For me I'd rather have it on and live with the slight handicap because I want to feel like I am not playing a game.
