Apparently a guy over at actiontrip.com has found a way to run Crysis on "very high" settings on Windows XP and according to him and his screenshots it looks just as good as when running on DX10.

Underclocking Crysis

PC News | Crysis

Oct 29, 2007 The much anticipated Crysis single-player demo was released for download Friday night, and naturally we had to have a go at it. Most of us (PC editor excluded) lack any significant horsepower under our desks, so its DX9 and low settings or nothing. To our delight, our mediocre systems are at least capable of rendering Crysis intricate jungle setting well enough to play. Our chugging machines, however, cant produce anything akin to the quality of the low setting DX9 screen ... » Read More

Crysis demo is here

PC News | Crysis

Oct 28, 2007 The highly anticipated Crysis single player demo is finally here. The demo was originally scheduled to release on September 25 before Crytek released a statement announcing that it would be delayed by nearly a month to ensure that the game would be finished on time for its November release. Our gut told us that the delay might have had more to do with a little game known to some as Halo 3, which was also scheduled to release on September 25, but according to Crytek's Sten ... » Read More

Elves Are Out, Aliens In

PC News from N4G | Crysis

The New York Times report on October 16, 2007:

Where have all the elves gone?

That's the question gamers and the people who love them are bound to ask this fall as they take in the latest crop of big-budget video games. Since the 1970s, dragons, orcs, wizards and dwarfs have been staples of interactive entertainment, yet this holiday season there are hardly any top new games in the traditional fantasy mode.

Instead 2007 has been dominated by perhaps the deepest lineup of science fiction games ever.

Crysis: So clever it's stupid

PC News | Crysis

Oct 16, 2007 Crysis is really going to punish your hardware budget. The official specs aren't quite as nuclear as we expected, but if you want your version to look anything like these shots you better get cracking with a hammer on that old rig. It's time to blow the savings on a shiny new gaming behemoth. But is it really worth it? Well, yes. Because Crysis is stupid. We'd never have thought it before our latest hands-on with the game, but that's one of the best reasons to get busy with the ... » Read More

Crysis success could lead to console version

PC News | Crysis

Oct 5, 2007 Crysis dev Crytek has revealed that a success for the super-hyped shooter on PC would urge it to seriously consider delivering console versions of the title. "...first we want to see how the game is received, publicly and critically... We believe it will be received at least as strong as Far Cry. I hope personally a 5% average increase... That would give us an argument to [say], 'OK, let's see how we can bring Crysis to consoles,'" Crytek boss Cevat Yerli has told Game Informer in ... » Read More

PC - Crysis - Crysis Multiplayer Beta Impressions

With Crytek nearing its release of what is arguably the most graphically intensive video game yet developed, hardware manufacturers (as well as Windows owner Microsoft) are hoping Crysis will fuel interest in PC gaming and high-end gaming hardware. Over the last couple of years, the game's visually groundbreaking single-player mode has been showcased extensively, making the game one of the most exciting upcoming PC exclusives. Less publicized, however, has been Crysis' multiplayer mode--and, as recently found during the multiplayer beta currently being operated, there's a lot more to it than one might have guessed...
