Crysis is the best looking videogame I have ever played.
Here's how impressed I was:
Okay, start the game. Do some loading, okie dokie.
Hmm, this looks like one of those prerendered cutscen-OH MY GOD IT'S REALTIME
I have experienced 4 of those "omg realtime!" points so far, including that one.
Anyone else downloaded and played the hefty demo yet? (1.7 gb!)

Yep, I could finally have a "decent" fps at lowest settings: up to 10fps, yoooo. Bi-Xeon 2GB nVidia 6200 (ouch AGP graphic boards are hard to find).
My question in that respect is: does multithreading work with this game for you, as it is supposed to ? I have 4 threads availables, only one is used...
Otherwise yes, the artwork is amazing but they had already a good basis to start with, I'm talking about FarCry.

It is the more ressource consuming I have *tried* to play.Crysis is the best looking videogame I have ever played.

I downloaded it and tried it on my soon-to-be-put-to-sleep comp. With the lowest settings (except resolution, maxed out, which was still lower than my screen's native, just for the demo i guess) i got a fairly playable 10-15fps. Of course since i have an older generation card (Radeon X850 pro) and that all settings are at lowest, i didn't have any OMG REAL-TIME moments. Hopefully ill have these moments soon: in one week im buying a computer, it will be so freaking powerful they'll have to make laws against it So ill buy the full version of Crysis, Oblivion and all those wonderful looking games, so i can finally enjoy the eye-candy AND the smooth gameplay of high frame rates
well, i wasn't very impressed... yet.
it ran OK on my Althon64 3500+/GeForce 6200/WinXP but, as you may guess, i don't get to see anything much other than an overload of polys with this system.
I'm not ready to upgrade yet, but when I do, I'll give it another try.
By way of comparison, I think that HL2 manages to look pretty awesome on this system. Crysis didn't look as good.

Actually, very high is available in XP as well. You just need to hack the config files to allow the high setting to use the very high values.
In XP, you cannot choose Very High as it is DirectX 10 only. By editing the config files, you get all the Direct X10 eye candy in XP but at higher frame rates. I dual boot with XP and Vista and was able to verify it. I have 3D water, light rays and all the goodies running on my XP installation.
Just Google around and you'll find the hack. Very simple. Most impressive.
