Errr, in the DX9 vs. DX10 video, I don't really notice any difference...maybe the lighting is more evident in the DX10 version but other than that...I don't see any major advances in DX10. Maybe if they had a side-to-side comparison?

They do have many side to side comparisons on youtube...
The main difference is the smoke effects, which are simply stunning and realistic on Dx10.

here is a nice video highlighting some weapons and what you can do with them .... simply put this will be awesome.
note: after you download the video (97 mb) watch it with WMP.

There are also loads of other developer - walkthroughs, on youtube.

I love how you can pick-up animals..like chickens and other birds, and then through them at your enemies.
But apart from graphical and physics upgrade, its just like playing FarCry.

I don”t care if this is like FarCry,it”s with new graphics and improved gameplay.
This is the thing that made me drop my computer on window.

Yeah an considering Far Cry for me wasn't a great game, i don't think i am going to buy a new computer unless they come up with real DX10 Graphics and with another game that i will play.

Superb new video, speechless...

345mb, 18 minutes, it's worth

[S2000_Skyline12]

How do you think this setup would run it? Low, Med or High

Intel Celeron D 64 3.33GHz
1GB RAM
GeForce 7900GS KO 256MB

[SP4RCO]

1280x1024, mid details, no filters ---> playable.


It's only a prediction. I would purchase the E6600 and 2Gb DDR2 at 800Mhz

[S2000_Skyline12]

I don't have that kinda of money and my mobo won't support it so i'll stick with what I can get for now until i get more money

[YaelDjiel]

pretty cool vid, nice gfx
ewwwww @ insane motion blur though

[race_invader]

i know this is abit off topic but Ive heard that the new far cry will have the same graphics engine or similar...

[Cpt.Razkit]

I really want this to come out on Xbox360. If it doesnt, I guess i have to get a new GFX card again...

[t3ice]

Oh no no...this is one of the very few PC exclusive games, AFAIK !!

Which seems quite fair, as PC gamers miss quite a few good games, which are console exclusive.

[darknight788]

if it is exclusive for PC then 99% of us are going to have to seriously upgrade our sytems to run this kind of game

[Glopaticki]

Dunno how accurate this stuf is but here is some info from Crysis Online

Crysis will no doubt be a fairly demanding game. It will require a good system to perform well. However, CryEngine2 is very scalable so lower end machines will still stand a chance.

Here is a list of confirmed information...

Crysis will run on both DX9 & DX10 as well as Windows XP and Windows Vista.
A graphics card that supports Shader Model 2 or higher is required.
CryEngine2 is estimated to scale back 2 years, and scale ahead 1.5 years.
A single 7800GTX will run the game quite well on fairly high settings according to Crysis Art Director, Michael Khaimzon.
Jack Mamais of Crytek said in an exclusive Crysis-Online interview that his X1900XT runs the game very well at reasonably high settings ( still unoptmized ).

Crysis will dynamically utilize all processing threads available. Meaning quad-core processors will be supported.
The following specs are estimates made by myself based on the above mentioned information and other sources. These estimates are NOT official - but are based on official information.

Minimum Requirements
CPU: Athlon 64 3000+/Intel 2.8ghz
Graphics: Nvidia 6600 or ATI X1600 - Shader Model 2.0
RAM: 1GB
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 256k+
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX9 with Windows XP / Vista

Recommended Requirements
CPU: Dual-Core CPU (Athlon X2 / Pentium D / Core 2 Duo)
Graphics: Nvidia 7800GT or ATI X1800XL Pro (SM 3.0)
RAM: 1.5GB+
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 512k+ (128k+ upstream)
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX9 with Windows XP / Vista

Hope these are similar to the official system requirements, cause then i can run it. And i've already pre-ordered the collectors addition.

[race_invader]

Wow all i need to do is just get a better graphics card then ill be able to play it too

[t3ice]

Damn, i hope all that is true, cuz i was afraid id have to upgrade to vista to play this game
but according to the article XP is supported too

I just hope a few more games that will release in the future support XP too.

[darknight788]

sweet ! hope thats true glop. from watching the videos you would think that it would take much more than those reqs

[xturbo]

Ok I have a new PC now lol. This are my specs:
Dual Core Athlon X2 +3600 2.00 GHz
Corsair 2gb (1+1) DDR2 1334Mhz (667mhz EACH STICK.)
Sapphire Radeon X1650 PRO 512Mb DVI DDR2/DDR3 (still sadly with 128 bits) PCI Express

Is that enough? lol
I had to sell one eye, a lumb ...lol and I bought this one to play excusively Crysis and NFS Pro Street.

[Glopaticki]

As it says they're estimates. Fingers crossed they are accurate cause i just upgraded my PC a month ago and don't wanna do it again a month later

[t3ice]

@ Darknight : Your lucky dude, you've got a dx10 card..

Lol! I hope my card can handle Crysis, even if it is only dx9

BTW I just heard that there has been a crysis beta demo leak... but i guess discussing
that would be considered warez here..

Ehm... the memory frequencies are not accumulative. They overall run at 667Mhz (333Mhz, but its DDR=Double Data Rate so it makes 333'333 * 2 = 666'666 = 667mhz). But they are good, Corsair is one of the best brands.

CPU is nice. Graphic card is not bad... but its not good either lol. You should have got a 8800GTS or something like that

The game will obviously run, but not at max details I guess.

[t3ice]

I dunno if this has been posted here before, but i found this on some other forum showing comparisons
b/w real-life and Crysis...and I have one word... Firetruck !1!!

http://nyckid.gametrailers.com/gamepad/ ... g&id=67677

Un believable stuff ^^

[darknight788]

holy shiznit, that looks so real

Ups yeah I forgot all the business with Ram's speeds and frequency...sorry my bad.

You should have got a 8800GTS or something like that

God damn!! lol
Bro...that video card is way TOOOOOOO Expensive here....it's almost impossible to get that card!!!...at least here!!! lol
What do you advise to get instead of a X1550 and OBVIOUSLY a 8800GTS which IMO is like selling ALL my stuffs like ... idk...my entire bedroom!! lol
I forgot also to mention and edit of course that my card has 512mb and NOT 256mb .lol

NEED HELP!!! PLEASE this game is going to blow my head...need a COOL PC CONFIG (means cpu, mobo, ram, etc..) for at least 550$ us dollars!!!!

The game will obviously run, but not at max details I guess.

Anyways.if I don't get enough with Crysis....Pro Street is MINE LOL!

-------------------

The pics above are so F*cking AWESOME!!! I'm stunned..I'm really shocked with this "game" O______o HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!! We're there...steps to REAL games!!!!!! OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
