Pretty impressive stuff. This game looks cooler every minute.

OK now you've got my attention.

By far the most photo realistic game I have seen.
I bet they will make a lot of money just selling the game
engine license to other game developers.
With this game on the horizon I doubt if Dice will get any
more of my money.

That's pretty sweet.

WOW, I am trying to hold off on getting a new rig till vista and direct X10 are out. That cyrsis engine looks like it needs cutting edge to run with that level of detail. Really cool, looks like I'm gonna be spending alot of money on gaming next year.

Never heard of that game. They have a site?

Kdawg - It will be a longtime before DX10 is out. It wont be released until Vista is released, which last I checked MIGHT be sometime next spring.

Even when Vista comes out it will take at least a year until any games take advantage of it.

I mean I don't want to upgrade anything in my rig untill that stuff is out. I'll just get or build a new rig. It looks really cool though. Thanks for the timetable though Brom. (Didn't mean for that to have an edge... )

Here's some other stuff on Crysis that we chatted about a little while ago (with links to more screenshots):

Bleh..... what a waste of graphics on an FPS

They need to make an MMORPG with that level of graphics..

NM see you want two of those for quad sli.. Well since once cant really outperform a single X1900XT then its doubfull four can outperform X1900XT with crossfire. Not worth the money imo...

Bromsin,
(that was sarcasm bud ) I think SLI is a joke and just another way for Nvidia and ATI to sell more graphics cards to clueless gamers. Just save your money and buy one really good card... you'll be glad you did.

I don't know what it's going to take to run that game with max settings, but i'm sure I'm it will take a powerful system.

As far as the 1900 XTX, yeah it's a good card and even beats the 7950 GX2 in some benchmarks (at mostly lower resolutions (1024 x 768)). However as a current ATI card owner, I am having problems with ATI's drivers and/or my LCD screen. I get this tearing effect with every screen redraw (not refresh). I'm not sure if the video card (ATI X800 XT A-I-W) can handle the native resolution of 1900 X 1200 of the monitor or if the drivers are not working properly. (I have other issues with the built-in ATI TV tuner not working properly, but that's another story). Perhaps you have an opinion on the screen tearing? (Please don't suggest I reinstall the drivers. I have recently formated the drive twice because it seems ATI Drivers are picky about the installation sequence and Windows XP SP2). I don't have the time to reformat it again.

I've owned both Nvidia and ATI video cards. I think my next card will be one from Nvidia. I seem to have less problems with their cards.

Back to the thread...

[Bromsin]

Probably boils down to a driver issue, however I would test the panel on a different computer/vid card to make sure it isnt a panel problem.

I dont know much about the X1800 series as I have used a 6800GT for the last couple of years. I just got an X1900XT myself, been waiting a while for ATI to get back in the game as I do not like Nvidia all too much.

ATI does have some driver issues but they usually get them right after time.

[Tommy Boy]

when does it come out? I have not heard any release dates...
