Holy Cow - this is the first time I have barely covered the recommended sys requirements in a long time.

2gb ram, 64x2 4800 and 8800gts 640! Hopefully that means I will experience it in all its glory.

Crysis DX9 vs. DX10 Comparison Screenshots

here is an excellent article showing you screenshot comparisons between DX9 vs DX10...also there are screenshots showing you the visual differences between the different 'Detail Levels'--Low vs Medium vs High vs Very High

inCrysis - Guide to the game Crysis - DX9 vs. DX10 Comparison Screenshots

DX10 actually shows some promise with Crysis and you can notice some nice differences compared to DX9...although in the 'Detail Levels' the difference between 'High' (DX9) and 'Very High' (DX10) is not that major

**the sand looks so realistic in those 'Detail Levels' screenshots (under 'High' and 'Very High')

I think my current rig will run Crysis fine on 'High' settings...'Very High' might have to wait for Vista 64 bit + DX10 video card + Penryn/Barcelona CPU...I wouldn't even want to bother playing it if I had to run it using 'Low' or 'Medium' settings...it's not worth it based on the screenshot comparisons

Re: Crysis

I think your in great shape. I looked at some screenshot comparisons myself and while I seen differences, they were not startling at least for DX9. My concern would be FPS's. Either way, I think my card will be fine even though I may have to tweak down a bit.

the differences are actually pretty noticable when using either 'Low' or 'Medium' settings compared to 'High' or 'Very High'...check out the link below to see

inCrysis - Guide to the game Crysis - DX9 vs. DX10 Comparison Screenshots

DX9 is an excellent option if you are able to get it to play at least on 'High' Quality

Re: Crysis

Thanks, much better link than what I had. Yes I see the differences clearly now. Still not dramatic enough for me to spend $500.00 for a 640M GPU. I believe some of this is spin between the software and hardware folks.

That is a good DX9 vs DX10 comparison. I actually like the DX9 screenies better. Except for one. The trees on the mountain do look good vs the green mountain screenie. But that was called a distance tweak in Oblivion.

It seems likely that feedback from the Crysis public beta has resulted in this delay...the "surprise" which is to be included in the demo is the Sandbox 2 game editor

inCrysis - Guide to the game Crysis - Crysis Demo delayed - October 26
tomorrow the Crysis single player demo gets released, consisting of the entire first level in Crysis’ epic single player campaign, called “Contact” ...I am eagerly awaiting this...to see if the gameplay and graphics live up to the enormous hype



**if you decide to pre-order the downloadable version of Crysis via the EA Store you also get access to the single player demo version of the game today, 24 hours before the demo is released to the general public on Friday
