Stupid example. Basically you require developers to make stupid decisions, when something can be done with better quality and efficiency with a little more effort, you think that's a bad idea?

Funny example...

But the statement was how you didn't care about naming. Certainly correct naming of the technology in use accurately describes what the developers are doing.

Would it be accurate if we called you MicheleB? Of course not.

It’s an easy decision to support HDR FP + MSAA on hardware that supports it.

Encoding/decoding HDR via Logluv would be useful for hardware that doesn’t support HDR FP+MSAA i.e. the purpose of having shader/stream co-processors.

Xenos has it’s own issues with HDR FP16, hence you have XNA developers playing with RSX’s HDR optimisations i.e. Xenos is not a R600. Also, RSX’s HDR optimisations works on DX9 PCs e.g. HDR + AA. It would be a waste to throw a Geforce 7800/7900 (or an entire laptop with "fat" DX9 GPU) in the bin.
