when farcry came out i think the quickest card on the market was a 9800pro or a gf4, then look at farcry now, they added HDR to it and also 64bit content. if they did that back when the game was released it would be real interesting to see how people would flapp.
Even a DX10.1 card is no match for Crysis?

gonna have to disagree with you on that one, crysis definately looks better IMO, going purely on screenshots here, and crysis looks more vibrant and less artificial than alan wake, time will tell though
yea and margaret tatcher looks better than cindy crawford.
That's on a 360 as well, Remedy said they will have photo realistic graphics so we'll see.
I'll probably change my opinion when we get the Crysis Demo though, just the Beta is really poor I think.

They both look incredible 
, you could nitpick each one for ages. Alan Wake will look amazing on the PC in DX10 as will Crysis.

I think they had better, release date was apparently:
published by Ubisoft on March 23, 2004
Just checking though it seems you are correct, 9800xt was about the best available card at the time though at the year end there was the x850xtpe
at the moment it does, but wernt they showing it on a quad-SLI quadcore?
Quad Core they were but it doesn't say about the graphics card, it won't be Quad SLI though, that barely even works IIRC.

Crysis's graphics are still much better in my opinion
i mean this from a dx9 beta with the best graphics options disabled:
In my opinion they knock the spots of Alan wake and if anyone thinks the 360 version will have textures that come anywhere close to crysis's they are very mistaken.
Those crysis shots barely look better than far cry. Alan wake looks far superior imo.
At the end of the day for me however the game will have to have the right balance between gameplay and graphics. If crysis turns out to be farcry with pretty graphics then I certainly won't buy it.
Also in some of the crysis whots I have seen some of the textures look quite poor (normally on the floor)

No.
Yes, developers who are as closely partnered to graphics card manufacturers receive early versions of the latest hardware before consumers. As for other uber stuff they probably some sort of distributed processing so that they can make new builds quickly.
Yawn... what res?
My spec below, everything on high at 1920x1200 and it runs from 2/5-25fps outdoors.
I'm sure if I ran at 1280xcrappyresolution it would run sweet everything max.
but let's face it, unless i want pixels the size of my face I can't do that!
And you're not reading, just skipping through threads and looking at pictures are we? tut tut!
Most of these pictures are resized, lossy, settings on medium/low..
I'm going to have to go ingame later with everything max ;P
