I guess what I'm looking to get from this is how I can get my TF2 to look 'shiny' ex. Anyway one last thing I noticed was that under the video options it says that my Hardware Directx is at 8.1 and my Software Directx is at 9.0 even though I have technically speaking up to DX10 I was at least expecting to see Directx 9.0c. I did my research and realized I couldn't have HDR on while including bloom so of course I tried many combinations of (Full with enable bloom effect/Bloom with enable bloom effect/None with enable bloom effect) With each combo I got the same result of when I would join a game my options would either have the bloom effect grayed out or has no effect. but when I go to change my HDR to either Full(recommended)/Bloom/None as well as enable bloom effect when available but it didn't seem to work. I turned the graphics settings up to the maximum settings x16 CSAA anisotropic x8 etc.

I've had success with every game except for Team Fortress 2. I had just recently picked up my new 9800 GT and figured I'd go ramp up the graphics in my games.
