I saw the screenshots. Then I saw the videos. Then I re-watched the videos. Crysis looks as if it is the pinnacle of everything awesome in video games, and yet it is only one of the first DX10 releases coming out. I am very excited about the new generation of PC games. And then there's that euphoria engine? That stuff is insane!

Looking at crysis though, it looks like it will take a serious system to run on. 8800 and R600 are DX10 cards, but are we going to need even more powerful DX10 cards to run the kind of thing I'm seeing in these videos?

Does anyone have any links to any more DX10 info, like other games, or really any info about DX10 that I can absorb eagerly? Excuse my maniacal enthusiasm, but this sh!t is ill...
 
Apparently Crysis should run fine on a single G80 (and probably a R600) at mid-resolution. There was a video of gameplay a while back running on a single G80 I believe and it seemed decent.
 
Crysis does look pretty awesome. They might as well called it Far Cry 2. The lush jungle environment looks very very similar to what Far Cry had back in 2003, except it has been made to take advantage of much more advanced video card technology. Hell, I think the 6800 series Nvidia cards were just coming out when Far Cry came out back then.

However, it doesn't seem very rationale for the majority of consumers to upgrade to a $500 video card to run one video game. Crysis will really shine if it can scale and run on lower end systems (and by lower end I'm talking about video cards that came out in the last year and aren't the latest generation).
 
So do you think there will be scaling with new video games that allow them to play on DX9, when they are natively DX10?
Does anyone know any other dx10 games that are on the horizon?

Far Cry 2 has nothing to do with Crysis.. Check out the official site of Far Cry 2,which is still in an early phase development..

Anyway OP check out this list of 2007 PC anticipated games..Some of them will have d3d10 content..

Wow, some of those games look sweet. I'm happy to see what they're doing with the Source engine in a few of the games. I'm unhappy, though, to see that pretty much all of the Unreal Engine 3 games are terribly shiny and blurry a la RS:V and GoW.
 
Too bad Spore, which is the game I looking forward to the most in 2007, will very likely not be released in 2007 or, best case scenario, Q4 2007.
