I was wondering if its possible to have the "bloom effect" on old ATI Readeon cards like 9600xt and 9800? Maybe in the final release? Hey the game looks great, but it'd be even cooler with the bloom effect.

the real answer is no, becasue ES is partnered with NVDIA and decided to program bloom using only SM3.0 so it only works on NVDIA cards and not ATI, at least until R520 comes out.

Actually, this is not entirely true. The Geforce 6xxx Series do support HDR as well.

Ok ok enough enough.. My question was, is it possible to have it enabled in the final release? perhaps a patch soon after? Or is there really no hope? Not a big deal, it still looks great.. Id rather wait and buy a PS3 than get myself a $400 nvidia card.
