It's on page 20, talking about HDR and since the Xbox doesn't have support for HDR doesn't that mean when they mention HDR for Halo 2 they mean an upcoming pc release? HDR is a lighting effect currently only being supported on geforce 6 GPU's.

The r520 "fudo" might include HDR support(ATI chip going into Xbox 2). Just the way Halo 2 was added in with the Unreal 3 Engine and Stalker made me think that they were talking about an upcoming pc release which should make pc gamers happy.

hmmm maybe the Xbox uses a Nvidia graphics card? also if u look at the whole article it goes to show u how complicated something like Graphics is.

P.S How on earth did u find this, i know i've been on the Nvidia site before looking around at their new cards, but this is some ddep stuff

There is the main page the one you should look for is page 20 of "Special Effects in Direct3D" PDF adobe acrobat is needed to view it.

The Xbox uses what is comparable to a Nvidia Geforce 3 which did not support HDR. So it has to be talking about a upcoming PC release.

I was just reading through them because someone posted a link to the presentations at a site that I visit. These were actual presentations at GDC which is a convention where game programmers listen to new technoolgy and ways to implement them into next generation games.

Hmmm, that looks interesting, lets hope it is true or show this to Bungie's face.
