Crysis: x800 SM 2.0b HDR and Water Shader Mod

This a demo of Crysis game, with HLSL shaders modded. Mod allows "very high" water quality (quite similar, but without refraction YET), and HDR in PS 2.0b, proving if a x800 is a hadrware capable of runing this game in high quality, despite a "sweet sabotage" in graphics made by Crytec, removing this features without any purpose in game final version.

Video grabbed in 800x600, downsized for youtube.

Awesome!!! X8xo cards rock!!!

This is NOT "HDR"......you merely OVER-saturated the r_glow values to something ridiculous to cause extreme BLOOM (which is NOT High Dynamic Range). HDR requires SM 3.0 and DirectX 9.0c. This card cannot support either feature as it is only a SM2.0 card with DirectX 9.0b support. However it DOES have fast clock speed and GDDR3.....despite it's LACK in unified stream processors with just 16 vertex/pixel shaders.

@fabiopiratininga what is you PC specs?

@gugafrombr

Yeah, you ARE correct, in the aspect of it IS possible with a SM2.0 card..but my comment was in reference to a legacy SM2.0 card with DirectX 9.0b and prior HARDWARE support. HDR is only possible minimally, for actual proper render, through DX9 API for SM2.0+ cards with HARDWARE support for DirectX 9.0c standard. However, it IS technically possible, regardless of ANY hardware OR GPU for that matter to reproduce the same HDR algorithms/but you will MOST likely NOT have an image

@chirlakato

Actually,you can activate HDR on Source games,for example HL series e etc. Read about HDR on Wikipedia,and then you will udnerstand that it's possible,but really rare (using HDR on a shader 2 hardware)

what does this do?

[bmwm3gtr3250]

well at least hes trying to make old gpu looks awesome~

prolly GTX 580 wud follow the examples here

i have ati x800 GTO ultimate 2 256mb can i play crysis

[DjDiablock]

tooo mutch saturation! not realistic!

@GordonFreeMANness

I actually KNOW what I'm talking about and can cite sources directly..... you provided NO argument to support your OPINION compared to my FACT. The fact that you just randomly said the Xenos has NO DX10 FEATURES shows you never did ANY research on it's architecture at all. Why don't you ask yourself (or better yet, RESEARCH) what GPU was the R600 GPU (the first ATI DX10 GPU) BASED off of then get back at me. You apparently only look at clock speeds not tech.

[GordonFreeMANness]

@chirlakato Xenos has no DX10 features as well and... you're not quite right, actually. 1950 XTX can be compared with Xenos GPU.
