Crysis, it runs!

[S1ght]

erm...why?

I didnt really read much about why but one could guess that the game became too outdated for the time

I can't wait to try it

Difference between DX9 Very High and DX10 Very High... about 1%
With a small patch you can enable V. High on XP and W-O-W! IMO there is v e r y little deifference between the 2 only thing I can see is a tiny bit more detail in Dx10 and "haze" efect.

I'll have to run it in DX9 in any case

IMO Dx10 was a market gimmick for Micro$oft and GPU comapnies

My pc is abit on the sad side cpu wise.

Amd 4600x2
8800GTX
2 Gig DDR400
Vista

I can play it on my 22" Lcd @ 1680x1050 All settings high except shadows at 32-40fps max.

If I turn on any AA settings my system gets reduced to a crawl

cool .... i got the same spec except for the cpu ... n i intend playing it at 1280x1024 ... so i mit be abe to max it at my res ...

well Crytek said Crysis will run on 3 year old gfx cards, so good to see they werent lying... for a change!

lol, my card is not 2 years old and everything is on low settings, it is a 7800GTX 512 XXX btw. I don't know how a 3 your old top of the range card will make it. I suspect we talking about a 6800 Ultra. Being able to run a game and then to actually have some eye candy with it is two different things. At least people can play the game without all the looks, which i suppose is a bonus

It does have some advantages, not as big as previous revisions though, and any advantages are more then offset by being forced to use Vista.

Well I have seen X1950GT 512Mb play at high/med @ 1024x768 and a 8600GT at med with post pro at High.

I suppose a 8800GT/GTS/GTX will be able to max it out on DX9 and... perhaps try? on Dx10, I suppose it's got to do with the resolution and if you play with AA?
