Hi-res Crysis DirectX 10 screenshots


Recommended Posts

I take it someone never played Far Cry. To say it was all graphics is silly if you ask me, but to each his own... I have no reason to see Crysis as anything different.

Because it was. It had crappy AI imo and a terrible and almost non existent storyline. Crytek even admitted as such and claim Crysis will be different.

Well the story sucked but the AI wasnt too bad really, especially since it was probably the first FPS to really tackle these sort of environments.

I guess I just found it to be extremly fun which in the end is what matters. Hopefully they work on the play balamncing too, those monsters were incredibly tough to take down and in packs your only option was to retreat while shooting more often than not. That level where you lost all your guns and went down the waterfall was absolutly crazy, took me so long to get past the first half of the map.

AFAIK, the reference rasterizer would not be able to run DX10 in realtime. These screenshots came from a realtime gameplay video. I also don't see any DX10 effects in these shots, if you do, can you point them out?

Crytek has said that minimum specs will be DX9 and shader model 2.0 and shader model 3.0 being mid-range. That means NV 6x and 7x series cards will be able to run it.

ummw ell tell crytek you see no DX10 effects at all . i bet they would really laugh at ya cause the whole point of crysis and the videos and the screenshots is showinf off what Directx 10 can do . volomic clouds / motion blur / and many otehr effects are Directx 10 based effects so Say agian ya dont see any directx 10 effects.

those are definitely off da chain! I wish i had something good to play games with but i hardly play games on the PC anymore... not since UT2004 came out.. lol... I just work on the PC and game on the xbox.

HDR and antialias cannot run side by side...those calculations are run at the some point in the render pipe and so cannot run at the same time...

I'm sure it would be implementation dependant. Source engine supports anti aliasing and HDR. I thought the real issue with both at once was the overhead involved since both HDR and AntiAliasing are pretty intensive.

Everything you see in that video can be done with DX9, DX10 isn't completed yet nor is there any hardware in working order for it outside of ATI's and Nvidia's labs.

perhaps you should check the video then. The effects look great in motion, especially the tree leaves moving.

Edit: I hope this is the right video. http://www.fileplanet.com/161952/160000/fi...%5BQuicktime%5D Theres a shaky cam one and a HD direct feed one. I appologise if this is the shaky cam version as it wont look so nice.

thanks, I lost the link and was trying to find it to post above. It is amazing and definetly a step above HL2. Hell, Hl2 wasnt remarkably superior to Farcry 1 which had the upper hand in several areas. No games matched HL2 yet IMHO in regards to facial animations but.

Why exactly are you all arguing over this being in dx9, you realise of course that pretty much everything dx10 can do can be done in dx9 its all about speed.

alot of dx9 stuff was possible in dx8.

Its all a matter of it being able to run speedily though.

That's actually pretty disappointing. HL2 looked better than that.

Considering DX10 is not even out and HL? was being made for a few years on DX 9 that had been out for years as well clearly shows your understanding of the situation. These are what you can call, "preview" shots of something in development that won't even be done for another 7 months, and that's pushing it.

If there was just a game with that first picture, sneaking round a jungle that dense and cool looking i could play it forever.

Farcry...those pics dont show off anything that wonderful....

:whistle:

downloading video...get back to you on if I think graphics are severly better...not that my opinion matters to yall lol.

    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
    • A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.
    • Gamers Nexus already did their review, and building your own will be faster and cheaper, so not very convincing.
    • They've told outlets who got review units that it isn't. Partially because they believe that contributes to closed ecosystems. GamersNexus also believes this is because Valve's fighting a monopolistic practices lawsuit in Europe right now. They've also never subsidized any of their past hardware efforts and well, they definitely aren't subsidizing the Steam Deck right now.
