Bro thats the evidance right?
You know all crysis max settings can be set to high using only
directx 9.0c, after altering some ini files.
This says Directx 10 from Crysis also a bit of a lie.Crysis was the poster boy for vista directx 10.
yes i know very high can be acitivated, but some settings are still impossible on dx9.

mmm. in a way thats true. coz i was able to play crysis in ultra high mode without using DX10. (But as for the developers, it is required to have DX10) But there was only a simple matter of replacing some files in the game folder. cant remembr wat they were.

Doing that the game graphic quality options changed,

Ultra High --> Still Disabled
High --> Ultra High
Medium --> High
Low --> Medium

This means that the file replaces the settings and this shows that the low graphic setting is converted in to the medium graphics setting. So if i need to play in ultra high i just have to select High. but in the game option menu, it wont show u that u r in ultra high setting.

But after installing DX10, i dnt need to replace the crysis in-game files. i just can select ultra high from the game options menu.

So end of the day this shows that DX10 is only a ghost platform to get the best out of crysis.

mmm. thats new for me. unreal engine seems much better. In crysis graphics and gameplay blends together nicely. even a game with speedtree component, it has to be intense in gameplay. I enjoy the full immersion factor playin crysis. hope there will be a new mind blowin game with unreal engine 3.

Nvidia GPUs support DX10.1 features in Far Cry 2

Author: Tim Smalley
Published: 22nd October 2008

Ubisoft has revealed that Far Cry 2 uses DirectX 10.1 to improve AA by reading the multisampled depth buffer. What's interesting is that this is also enabled on all Nvidia DirectX 10 GPUs.

A few days ago, we learned that Ubisoft's hugely anticipated free-roaming shooter Far Cry 2 would support DirectX 10.1 extensions for cards that support the latest-available version of Microsoft's API.

Today, we have gathered some more information from Ubisoft on the implementation and it's quite an interesting one because the capabilities are also enabled on all Nvidia GeForce 8, 9 and GTX 200 GPUs, even though they don't comply with DX10.1's requirements.

"The Ubisoft team wanted to enhance the anti-aliasing through the reading of the multisampled depth Z-buffers, explained Vincent Greco, Worldwide Production Technical Coordinator at Ubisoft. "This feature was enabled by either using DX10.1 or using a DX10.0 extension supported by Nvidia DirectX 10 GPUs."

All of Nvidia's DirectX 10 GPUs support a superset of DX10, but don't fully support all of DirectX 10.1's requirements so Nvidia cannot claim compliance with DX10.1.

When we asked what DirectX 10.1 features Nvidia supported back in May, the company was very cagey, with Tony Tamasi claiming that "the red team will go out and try to get every ISV to implement things that aren't supported [by our GPUs] for competitive reasons. That really isn't good for game developers, Microsoft and also for us too. So I'd rather not say what [DX10.1] features we don't support."

"I can tell you that one thing we support for sure is reading from the multisample depth buffer [with deferred rendering], which right now seems to be the thing that people are finding interesting in 10.1. And so for the ISVs that are doing that, we're supporting them directly [and exposing the feature to them]," explained Tamasi.

So how does this affect performance? "In the case of Far Cry 2, either option will work with similar performance," said Greco.
