Yup those framerates are absolutely pathetic for Dx10, why on earth does everyone still think Crysis is the Dx10 holy grail and will run like **** of a shovel in Dx10, it aint gona happen, Vista has been out 5+ months, Dx9 games have been out years, and have they sorted Dx9 in Vista yet, have they buggery, so how the hell will they have Dx10 sorted when the first proper Dx10 game (Crysis by all accounts) hits.
At the same time i dont think crysis will be released if it couldnt be played well on directx10 at high settings on current hardware. What do you think they are showing all those videos and demos on 
Everyone is acting like crysis has never been tried on current hardware. Was crysis not running at maximum at the 8800 launch event, arent all the crysis videos supposed to be running on a single gtx. How come every article that the ceo of crytek has been in and asked what it takes to run the game at max,he has come up and said the Core 2 duo/2gb/8800 combination will run it with all the eye candy.
seriously, do you think that crysis will be released as a spear head for dx10 and actually wont be playable on current hardware? Windows,crytek,ati and nvidia would be a laughing stock.
I really don't think that crysis will run badly on the 8800 gpu , which for all intensive purposes is the card that it seems to have been built on. Sure maybe we wont be playing it at 2560x1600, 16xaa/16xaf ultra until the g90/g100 come out but, i think an acceptable resolution with settings maxed and a little aa/af will be more than possible.

Yup, I reckon you're right, I doubt they will have it sorted.
I meen the top cards on the planet have a hard time breaking 60fps playing the latest games running the DX9 path at a relatively low resolution!
Personally I'm hoping ATI's and Nvidia's next gen of cards will be like a 9800pro > x800xt / 5900u > 6800u scenario when spending £350 (sort of) felt justified becouse we were getting double the performance over the previous generation of cards.
As it is, I'm sick of being drip fed performance and having to pay through the nose for the pleasure only to find the card I've just lashed £400 on can't even run the latest and greatest (DX9) games without dropping into single framerate figures, sure bad console ports are largely to blame but not entirely.
IMHO the hard facts are that current top end cards are just to slow to run *certain* games at an acceptable/playable framerate, and I can't see much changing prior to Crysis's release, unless of course ATI and/or Nvidia pull a rabbit out the hat (so to speak) with their next high end offering.
*fingers crossed that they do*

Oh well, another incentive to keep a Dual Boot system
Thank god we dont all have that attitude, or we would all still be using Amstrads
DX should be binned in favour of OpenGL.
I'm sure DX10 titles will be better down the line - at the moment, all we have is a few rushed half-baked conversions form DX9 games. It's been a rocky road for us users.
The solution is to get Microsoft out of the picture. Scalable Open source APIs are the way forward. DX10 costs to much money - new OS and new graphics card and all that.
MS are laughing all the way to the bank.

, It would help if Linux was more user freindly and easy to blooming install, took me an hour to install ATi drivers on it and D3D Rendering still did not work, I rekon Linux + OpenGl = Super Fast gaming when games are developed for Linux and Open GL, aint UT2004 one of those games developed that were antive to Linux and Doom 3 and actually ran better in Linux on Open GL compared to in Windows?

i thought the point of DX10 was to make the use of features more efficient.
i.e we would get the same effects but higher framerates where possible.
and then the developer could add in some additional Dx10 stuff to make it all a bit prettier.
this doesnt seem to be the implementation at all to me:/

I never said scrap the OS, I would just prefere developers to use OpenGL, which works fine in Windows btw.
DX is technically impressive, and MS offer support for developers, but I'd still rather see OpenGL as the libray of choice. From a consumer point of view it would be better for a lot of reasons.
The DX10 Vista only fiasco makes me very suspicious of MS.
think about how long the cryengine 2 has been worked on.
games like call of jaurez are just games that come along one day from no where and get attention for 10 mins even tho there badly coded, like "armed assault", used to get 10fps on that on high with my old 7800GTX.
where as crysis has had attention for 2 years or so, and that attention has inspired them to make a game that every one likes and will love once it is releised. the cryengine 2 is optimized a lot so i think frame rate will be good
