So, at 800x600, that sounds pretty low. I'm guessing that this is the penalty for the extra eye candy with DirectX 10.

Lol actually there is a shiz storm that has brewed as it appears Crytek has deliberately restricted DX9 features to make DX10 look better in the Demo (now where have I seen this before, Halo2PC cough cough).

In a nutshell "ini" tweaks turn on and ALL the major DX10 touted effects and run in XP with DX9 (highest detail settings). I dual boot Vista and i can say Crysis looks 99% as good with the DX9 tweak as it does in Vista DX10. Oh yea and FASTER in XP by about 5-10FPS. Some say Vista textures are a "bit" sharper, but I honestly don't see it.

I will be playing in XP not Vista with the full version, as the frame rate is better due to XP.


DX9(DX10) full feature tweak ini Thread here, have a read its pretty interesting stuff.

Direct download tweaked ini so you don't have to edit the ini's yourself, found in the thread above. I have checked this out and is only ini's and clean. Just enter the 3 digit security code shown to start download.

Crytek has also left many things in the demo like Nukes and Tanks, all very cool using this mod. Thread here.
