Re: HDR and Source!
Perhaps it's just a bad example but I like the 1st screen better.

Re: HDR and Source!
Screens probably don't do it justice since I'm liking the first screen better as well.

Re: HDR and Source!
those pictures don't do it justice at all. I ahve played far cry with hdr and it looks amazing...it will add a lot to source games but it hurts performance a tad. but other than that makes everything look way better

Re: HDR and Source!
