Those waves do look much better in DX10.

I look forward to experiancing these new effects in 2 years time when I can get Vista and a DX10 card.

I have vowed never to buy a video card over £100, as thats to much money for a slight increase in FPS for just a video, no matter how much I enjoy them. So I'm looking out for good clearence deals on older cards on etailer sites.

I have to say there is a significant improvement, the letdown is they do not have any AA!!! Jaggies on the DX10 ones!!

For £100 you are going to be limited to DX9 for now.

I realise that motion blur needs to be moving to see the affect but it dosent do anything for me and the other pics wont make me pay out for a new OS and graphics card.
XP and DX9 for me for the forseable future especially if you allow for the loss of fps in Vista,hey you never know this may not be an issue with crysis,but i wouldnt bet on it.

While its obvious that the realism is greater in DX10 and the image quality is better than DX9 i personally prefer the High DX9 image as far as game playing is concerned,it may just be me but the image was clearer ie things stuck out more.I guess the fact that the boat and the guards are not that easy to see straight off is all part of the DX10 realism but i would find it easier to play in DX9.
Just my personal taste though

Dx10 version is the clear winner, with more dense vegetation, polygonal waves instead of plain waves, the lighting is better overall, and the pictures morton has shared with us shows DX10 ground displacement makes it look absolutely beatuiful.

Will I buy a Dx10 card and do a Vista upgrade for this? No. Until a 180-200usd gfx card runs Crysis like a dream, I will not.

Ground textures have a nice depth illusion in DX10 version.

:sleep: So what % of people buying Vista are gamers and worried about the dx10 advantage?? Come on buddy! Very little in reality.
Probably less than 5 %.. The other 95 % will buy as it is and as soon as "the average joe" is using it, :sarcastic: and will automatically update when the new dog comes out of the shed. - there are many market force reasons for this. It also explains how come Microsoft have been so damn indolent with dx10 :fou: . Hopefully, given now that on a global level, gaming is starting to be taken more seriously this will change.. Just my pennies worth.

Actually the change will probably grow greatly when SP1 w/Directx10.1 comes out. As more games come out for Directx10 games, there more likely ppl will goto Vista. Have to accept directx10=vista only.

I'd like to see a medium setting DX10 version, where they swap out inefficiencies and add the most efficient DX10 features that add visuals to the DX9 path, but don't slow it down much. It's a bit dissapointing seeing the break just at the highest level because it doesn't speak to Crytek trying to optimize the DX10 path, just to make it tougher than the DX9 path, which would be nice for the mid-range DX10 cards and these new upper mid-range ones coming.

Edit: Test

Not that amazing IMO, I can easily stick with DX9, as long as the physics are the same (or close). Water in DX10 looks nice, but I don't look at games, I play them (well, I mostly look at the beta, coz playing is not really an option). And the motion blur is hideous in both, just another thing to drag down the framerate.

Two things I disagree with. 1) There are no DX10.1 cards out atm. There are rumors of the 8800GT being 10.1, but we'll have to wait and see on that. 2) There IS a project to port DX10 to XP, so no, people don't have to accept that you will only be able to get DX10 on Vista.

Just cause there is a project on getting dx10 to XP doesnt mean it will happen for sure....or that it will be 100% stable. For all you know, the number of issues it might have may be reason enough for some to make the jump to vista

The project about DX10 being ported to XP is very real - and, actually, almost easy: merely use a wrapper to run DX10 over OpenGL 2.1...
Source: the Wine website, improvements planned for libwine.
Please note that when this project is done, a DX10-able upgrade for XP will be GNU/Linux+Wine or MacOS X+Wine.

You gotta pay for the DX10 libraries though AFAIK, and they are for individual games last time I looked. Maybe things have changed. I have a feeling that if it works, M$ will put their foot on it.

I don't understand all the Vista hate... I've been running it since the betas with no real issues to speak of. My only real headache I've had in terms of instability came when one of my RAM DIMMs finally crapped out. That's been it, for the most part... especially recently, now that the Vista video card drivers are maturing and allow me to play all of my XP games with little, if any, performance penalty.

Not to mention, if you have an 8800 like I do, getting Vista to use DX10 is a no-brainer. Plain and simple... if you have the hardware, why not use it?

On those pics with waves you can see how the vegetation is a lot denser in DX10 (check the horizon). So it's not a direct comparison of the same game settings under different DX paths...

Crysis has been canceled due to lack of interest. Guitar Hero and Rock Band are the only think people want to play.

No because your brain has a very poor video card that gets worse as you age.

Plus, it is still eisa (yuck). Better to offload the render to a silicone based system and supply the image to your eyes.
