I was checking out the recomended specs for Crysis and they say that the video card should be 6600GT/X800GTO or better but they also say that the software should be DX10/Vista. I was under the impression that DX10 cards are not out yet and that nothing that is out will ever be compatible with DX10. If I'm correct (I'm usually not) then how can they recommend a card that is not compatible with the recomended software?

Crysis and DX10
- Thread starter rubic
- Start date
it looks like the cards you listed will be able to play the game but without using any dx10 features , it will fallback to dx9,
why would the game require vista? maybe because dx10 is vista exclusive and if u want to play the game with all the eye candy youll need vista and a dx10 video card, (blaim microsoft )
there are no dx10 cards out yet,

The minimum requirements are DX9 and Windows XP so it will work but until its out we wont know to what extent crysis will use DX10 only effects or if they will even be DX10 only. You will probably get most if not all the same effects in XP/DX9 but with reduced performance and until we actually get the game we have no idea what that performance will be like..

I don't think you read the specs correctly
http://ve3d.ign.com/#720538
The Min specs are those cards you mentioned and DX9 on XP
The Recommended specs are Nvidia 7800GTX/ATI X1800XT (SM 3.0) or DX10 equivalent and DX10 and Vista

I would just like to add that all the pretty effects and game play demos have been done with current DX9 hardware so it will be interesting to see just how important DX10 is to the overall gameplay experience.
His concern is not answered by the system specs.Brent_Justice said:I don't think you read the specs correctly

His concern is in the company asking for both DX9 and DX10 hardware.
It was addressed by one of the replys already thou.
