REAL 3DMark08 screens?

You obviously haven't tried Crysis on full then

Kemp, sorry mate.. but DirectX 10 is a serious waste of time.

For example:

Direct X 10 Very High:

Direct X 9 Very high tweak:

See a big difference? Nope.. nor do I.

Worth the performance hit? NOPE!

Oh and me thinks.. CRYSIS IS NOT DX10!!

 

[FarFarAway]

Mate you haven't seen Crysis on proper DX10, there is a huge difference

 

[Toxcity]

Kemp, the top piccar is DX10.

 

[FarFarAway]

Yes but you have to move around and stuff to see the effects of DX10. I've seen it pretty high and it looks fantastic

 

[Hatman]

No, there are settings in crysis that are not available yet but can be unlocked by hacks etc... they were discovered possible in the crysis editor by changing certain things like maxing HDR etc..

Ultra high settings, they make it look a lot closer to how it looked in the trailers, life-like.

Can DL from filefront I believe.

 

[Toxcity]

Well from my point of view.. it isn't even worth losing the FPS for such a small amount of detail.

Pictures don't lie often.

I just see DX10 as a marketing ploy for a failing OS.

I will stop here before we have too much debating.

 

[Hatman]

Depends mate have you for example seen the performance difference and image difference between medium settings dx9 and medium settings dx10??

Everyone refers to DX10 as some ultra high setting but its much more then that.

 

[Toxcity]

Nope, never played Crysis on medium.

Have a look there, for example.

DX10 medium vs DX9 high, try to tell the difference.

Only difference I can see is the DX10 medium looks better

Why do they negate such things from general release ? There are a number of games where u can do similar things. GRAW had some `extra stuff` u could edit the ini for.

I personally think we are still to-date w8ing for an effective dx10 release. Imo the existing ones are dx9 dev with patched in dx10 effects. No1 will admit this tho I`m sure.

Ya`ll will have to get used to dx10 tho, the powers that be will enforce it. Don`t think they`ll fudge it into XP tho, despite the hopefull wranglings, in so many months-year they`re more likely to drop XP support. Include dx10 and they`ll have to extend support timings. Could be a hack tho, actually there is a emu thing out atm - there`s a link on the forum somewhere for it.

 

[FarFarAway]

Hatman is correct, there's a lot of features on DX10 that are stunning and cinematic, fantastic. Once you've seen and experienced them then the difference is night and day

 

[Rastalovich]

U got any sources Kemp ?

 

[Hatman]

Night and day being a big difference between DX10 crysis and DX9 crysis, where multiplayer is concerned anyway.

 

[Rastalovich]

O ic, meh tbh.

 

[FarFarAway]

U got any sources Kemp ?

My own eyes

 

[Rastalovich]

lol fair comment.

Tox please take a look at this. The first screeny is DX9, the second is DX10 when you hover your mouse over the pic. Id say there is a big difference.

Needs to be in DX9 Very high to compare properly.. but the water certainly does look better.

 

[Rastalovich]

However, the Crytek game developers have also chosen to artificially limit some of the game's graphics effects to only the DX10 version in order to create a bigger perceived difference.

Hardly seems a fair comparison.
