I played this demo at GDC this year. It was def on a 30 inch screen, and on a 8800gtx, dont remember if it was SLIed or not. The graphics/physics were turned down as well but it had playable framerates. Dropped to semi-choppy/slow levels when the helicopter came in but still playable.
How long ago was that demo? If Crysis was finished enough to run the game with a 30" Dell and an 8800 GTX, why the wait? How do we know the game won't require more GPU power than it has thus far? Are they adding optimizations or more DX10 features or both? (Sorry for thread crapping, I just don't see why Crysis isn't out if it's finished enough for people to play demos of it.)
Just because they can demonstrate a small demo of a SELECT PART of the game doesn't mean the entire game is ready. Companies demo games months or years before release at E3, that doesn't mean the game is ready for release.
