that looks amazing!

whens it out then?

fdxd · 5 May 2006 at 19:20

Dunno. Need Vista for highest settings however.

I think ill but a new GFX card for this baby, I really dont mind shelling out £500 for a new one if the visuals do look that good, but I reckon that theyre mockups/photoshoped. remember HL2 pre screens? The end game looked nothing like them.

Valve certianly didnt mislead anyone with HL2 graphics. Also word has it these CRYSIS screens arent even with settings maxxed out.

<<sigh>>

And i only just got a 7900GT

I do like how realistic the lighting is now. Far cry was very neon in the outdoor bits.

LoadsaMoney · 5 May 2006 at 20:14

Nah it does look good, but no way would i spend £500+ just for it.

theo · 5 May 2006 at 20:53

the IGN preveiw of the tech demos say that all these screens are from a single x1900, so maybe the game's just coded better than fear

means lots wont have to shell out for new graphics cards which is only a good thing

LoadsaMoney · 5 May 2006 at 21:04

If thats the case then, then that made R600/G80 even more worse buys, as if this works on todays cards, then its going to be £500+ for an operating system, Vista ROFL.

If this came out for em, then at least ppl could say "well for £500+ smackeroos i got Vista, and 1x single game to look forward to".

Great! My graphics card has just unplugged itself and ran out of the room sobbing!

Mobius 1 · 5 May 2006 at 21:28

Mine has just fried itself in shame :eek:

HighlandeR · 5 May 2006 at 21:30

I think everyones looking forward to it just as an excuse to get Vista/DX10 next gen card anyhow.... I know I am

kdd · 5 May 2006 at 21:47

Those are dx9 screens running on an x1900 apparently.

They're not mockups. Everything displayed in those screenshots is easily achievable on a DX10/Vista system. The new shader, physics and performanced improvements in DX10, along with Vista's enhanced graphics memory management capabilities allow for such impressive games to be created.

my x1900s are gonna have to stretch there legs a bit, time to get the whip and a stick out to get them in shape

What really bugs me is how hard microsoft are pushing vista, I have no doubt that dx10 could be implemented on XP (if its not already going to be).

I loved farcry, so I can't wait for the next one

(The only problem of the first was that it totally wrecked HL2 for me. I just went round a lot of the levels thinking "farcry could do that better")

From what I read, all of the graohics will pretty much work with DX9 and the physics (including the bending foliage) are all done by the CPU so those new crappy physics cards are a waste of money (until they are truly supported!).

RandomTom · 6 May 2006 at 22:00

Woaahh soz wide screen! I like it, the first screenshot looks lush. :cool:
