It was a competitor through and through people, regardless on its context. We don't suspend merely for mentioning competitors however, only for linking to them or repeatedly mentioning them after warnings.

Why do you think that? [you are wrong]

Why? When was the law written stating that software has to be made to run perfectly within current technology, and not be allowed to push the boundries? I think it'd be nice to have a game that will still look great in a year or two's time!

Yes, and that's exactly how they designed it. I wouldn't expect Crysis to run well in max everything on any of today's current hardware as otherwise there's no room for scaling down the road. Hence why Farcry still looks good; Crytek have it sussed in terms of a game's longevity.
DX10 right now is a big fat ugly waste of time. I'm quite confident it will be something special, but all it does right now is make things worse. What is with the bad performance on existing DX10 software? Why are we seeing so much DX9 media for DX10 games? Where is our promised DX9 performce increase through DX10?Robbie G said:
I know exactly what DX10 does and what it is capable of, but it has a lot of growing up to do.
There are a lot of interesting reads on the net about the state of DX10.

I think you're mising a crucial point, which is that practically all games at the moment aren't true DX10 but have been patched to support some of its features, a classic example being Call of Juarez. Bioshock will be one of the first "proper" DX10 games, i.e. built DX10 from the ground up rather than given some dodgy DX9-->DX10 patch.
Therefore you can't possibly judge DX10 on what we've so far seen.

Going by the specs recommended by them and recent reviewers saying it runs perfectly well on an 8600 in dx10 mode I reckon they have dx10 performance on par or better than dx9.
Ofcourse all shall be revealed in 11 days time.

Isnt DX10 ment to make more use out of 8800gts's and GTX's and make the game play better though? But with these games with dodgy patchs (CoH, CoJ etc) it just makes perfomance worse.

No one knows when the 9800's are coming, someone posted on a forum they were coming November and everyone is taking it as gospel.
Anyway you'll be mad to buy a 9800 in November seen as the R700 is coming out for Christmas.

actually yes you do. My first suspension was apparently* for mention laptop competitors or something ages ago. No warning or anything.... but it might have been part of a forum-wide cull so meh.
*speculated as no explanation was forthcoming after PMS
BlackDragon said:Well we were able to play Crysis at i31 (multiplay LAN event) on someone I can't mention's computers.
Specs of the machines were:
8800GTX
2GB of RAM
Quad Core Extreme (2.66GHz one)
Graphics were set to max, and the machines seemed to cope with it fairly well. Occasionally stuttering but the game was pretty smooth most of the time people played.
Just thought i'd let you guys know on the specs if you don't already
No competitors please!
Zefan.
you missed the most important part. what rez were you running it at? and *** AA/AF setting?
