Half Life 2 Lost Coast HDR Performance: ATI vs Nvidia

October 31st 2005 | Graphics Cards

Lost Coast is a free Half Life 2 expansion which is available on Steam. Expansion is probably a misnomer as what we really have is a level that Valve reworked fully for their implementation of HDR.

So our goal here today is to take a look at some HDR screenshots, and then also compare performance of full HDR, HDR bloom, and HDR off on ATI and Nvidia graphics cards. We decided 7800GT SLI versus X850XT Crossfire was the route to go.
