This thread is quite stupid, and reason the is that there is not much difference between the dx9 and dx10 versions. The basic difference is that in dx9 you can play up to High level and in Dx10 up to Very High level, but the difference is not very noticeable. The truth is, what matters is the power of the pc, not if it is in dx9 or dx10. and sorry, but the game is not worth the cost in hardware...

I have a 7600GT and an AMD 3500+. I can run the demo on medium settings at 1152x864 resolution and pull ~30 fps which is most definitely playable. And it looks gorgeous, these screenies don't do it justice at all.
According to what Ive read in the forums the demo seems to be dividing people in two groups the
"My xxxx dollar high end PC runs it at 5-10fps, the game is a piece of CENSORED" or "My PC runz teh game INCREDIBLEZ. ZOMG teh coolestz"
and aparently is has NOTHING to do with with it being high end or middle end since people with 8600GT seem to be running it great and some people with 8800 Ultra run it like crap
which only points that either the demo is a F-ING mess or future drivers will fix that
Knowing Crytek and NVIDIA they will sort things out
I have the new beta drivers I am just waiting of the demo to finish downloading :D
by the way a little tip for the people that might care there is a way to get the DX10 exclusive special effects (or at least some) running in DX9 go to GameSpot Crysis forums and look for the thread...but remember it requires editing of configuration files
gaming on PC makes me laugh....its like saying look how fast I can drive and shelling out on a Bugatti Veyron. Every 6 month / year you need to spend hundreds / thousands to be able to catch up. What a fantastic waste of resources. It certainly propelled the PC to the market share that it has now (M$ must be happy) but Consoles are definitely on a saner model with Developers improving their skills on the same hardware. Finite resources = tailor made / optimized results. I suppose thats what makes apple what they are and what used to be assembler under DOS when really there was not many resources available. Now just grab a bazooka to kill a fly.
Its every 6 months a new video card iteration comes out.
Now if you buy crappy video cards from the beginning then yes you have to upgrade more often. Problem is those ppl who buy crappy video cards tend not to game t hat much on the PC.
the point being that playing games on a PC is nothing short of a luxury. I have PCs, Very Big ones at that, I only use them for heavy computing. it is laughable to require the same kind of configuration for a game. But thats the way the trend has been going for 20 years or so.
Thats why in general goods are not require to last anymore. Buy a new TV or Fridge or car and you will see how it compares to those 30 years ago that probably still work.
Buy Buy Buy....now Im ranting but what a crap society we have become.
that's pretty bad, I only have one 8800GTX and can run it @ 1650X1080 a max settings. ATI fell off bigtime.
Intel Quad Core @3.2GHZ EVGA 8800GTX with 768 MB ram Asus Striker Extreme Motherboard 4GB PC6400 DDR Ram 2 250GB HDD in Raid 0 config
I think the quad core makes the biggest difference. The amazing thing is that if I max out the res at 1920X1200 it slows to a crawl, WITH 4GB of RAM!!!! this game is a HOG of all HOGS.
yea I ran it on high with dx 10 and 1680x1050 and the game is amazing looking.......360 and ps3 deff couldnt run this and if they can it would take another few years and alot of tweaking to look this good its amazing how pretty a game can be lol.....
Im gonna start tryn to put the AA up and the graphics to very high soon and see how it looks.
But yea dont fool yourself if you see the game in motion the consoles havnt had anything like this or close to this yet
in motion. Its so much better then. Im running everything on High +2x aa and get 37 avg fps. Some things ingame really blows you away. The explosions for instance. So damn beutiful. And no other game has motion blur and dof that feels so damn right.
I see this as a transition game. The game that take all these new "effects" that we have seen scattered on several titles, sometimes good, sometimes awful and overused, and put it all into one engine and make them feel like its all part of the world instead of FX. I think its a gateway game, well see some truly awesome graphics after this, since Crytek got alot "right", the other developers will be ready to take the next step.
The motionblur on screen 3 is really awesome. Havent seen any game getting it this good. Well TF 2 got it right but the graphics there are so different its hard to tell the quality of the MB.
The cutscenes where you see your partners are quite awesome. Will grab som screens of the later.
Nice shots. Did u o/c your 2.4 E6600? Cuz at stock speed with my 7950GX2 (1GB Sli) card BF2142 gives me around 30-50 fps at highest settings. But at 3.3Ghz its 90+. Since my water pump broke cudn't try Crysis Beta although i've d/l it. Just waiting for the mofo company to find me a replacement pump otherwise hv to shell out money again for new kit.
Aizen, you make some of the most ignorant comments i've heard, dont get me wrong, killzone 2 looks AMAZING and has mind blowing visuals like nothing on consoles, close to CGI graphics, BUT take a closer look at killzone's visuals, very very crappy low res textures and draw distance, plus the game has a dark look so lighting isnt that much big of a deal, so the ps3 can squeeze out all of its cell juice on beautiful post processing eye candy and i agree it does look good but analyzing graphics on a whole, not from a one sided perspective, crysis is definitely far more superior and would have trouble running on the ps3 due to memory limitations
Definately looks good
It still looks alright but it's not much compared to the screenshots we've seen of Crysis on high.

I'll take slightly worse graphics over being forced into vista anyday.
I have a 7600GT and an AMD 3500+.
