Valve/STEAM are so full of shit, my friend download the game after they scanned his PC to see his spec and they say he have a 2.0 CPU when its a 3000+ that im pretty sure its over that and they try to sell some HDR card over Amazon even if he have a X800 pro ...what a load of crap

3000+ is the PR rating, 2,0ghz is the clock rate.
never heard about AMD ?

yeah but a 3000 is supposed to be 2.167, my 2800+ comes in as a 2.1 under valves checker, officially a 2.08

Speaking from my experience, it isn't that bright. Granted it is very bright and a shock to the eyes going from extreme dark to extreme sunlight, but this "white-out" when I go outside in an HDR enabled game is a little extreme. Especially in some games where it isn't even that sunny out, or you are under a shaded cover.


Another problem is also that it adjusts too slow. When you go from a dark room to outside where it is bright, the eyes don't take that long to adjust as they do in Lost Coast.

Also, I find it funny that Valve spent so much time on making such a small technology demo. But then again, Valve are known for their delays. September 30th 2003 HL2 anyone? Rolling Eyes

Oh yes, and after playing FEAR the AI in this game seems so dull and stupid.

crap or not but...

i got a pc with AMD 64 3000+ venice core and the chip runs at default speed of 1800mhz a normal 200mhz*9

ususaly the chip will not heat up if useing non stock fan so far my cpu runs at nice 2250mhz 250mhz*9

all the AMD chips even if they say its 4000+ have either 2400mhz or 2600mhz depending on what type of core is used i might be wrong about the other chips but i also have 4000+ and it has the speed of 2.4ghz lol steam needs a new detection system to actualy CHECK the speed of the darn cpu chips instead of reading the speed


I teleported home one night
With Ron and Sid and Meg.
Ron stole Meggie's heart away
And i got Sidneys leg.

haha that makes me cry coz thats what my old PC was. You really wouldn't know until u actually play it.

edit: it's supposed to show the iris adjusting and the fact that it adjests according to the light brightness on the screen is pretty decent to me. Of course they can't get it perfect and some things are overly bright but its deffo a step forward.

Everyone of you guys bought HL2?? I hope there will be a group release of Lost Coast because if you didn't buy HL2 there's no way to play Lost Coast, right?

I got that warning also but I installed and played it anyway. I have
P4 2.4 , 512 ram, 9500 pro o/c slightly. I ran it with medium textures/models,no aa or af, high quality shaders, and full HDR at 1024x768. I was getting mostly between 20-25 sometimes 30 fps and was playable. I could at least see and appreciate the HDR effects and they looked great. After seeing that I think every game should have HDR. I have not played DOD Source so this was my first time seeing HDR in Source.

Hmm it seems even steam isnt sure what spec is needed to use it, wahts wrong with this picture?

Steam, breaks your games when it updates then getsconfused as to what spec it needs for stuff, I havent said it in a while but I'm starting to miss Won again, at least that never broke games.

I stared up Steam yesterday and after updating it said I didn't have HL2, CS: Source, DoD: Source, etc. installed. I was like WTF! I just restarted Steam and then it said I did and I went and downloaded Lost Coast.

The tech demo is KILLING my system even at 12x9. Damn. Its avg around 40 - 50 for normal walking around,and about 25 to 50 for fights. I haven't really benched it , just some figures I saw with Fraps. Considering Half Life was above 60 for me it was really hard to take. Oh well, guess I am gonna have to choose between Hi-res and HDR for now. If Oblivion is this intensive.....

I had that a couple of weeks back, gota love the way steam seems to be going back to its roots as an unstable system, oh wait.. no we dont. The absurdly high specs lost coast wants makes me laugh though as theres been hdr mods for hl2 for ages & everyones run them fine, of course thats a moot point untill valve fix the source engined games, mmmm steam updates that break games = 'fun'

Well I liked it. It's a cool effect that adds more realism to the game. The level itself was short sure, but it was just a demo.
