In DX9 the physics are nerfed, though, aren't they? I won't play in 9, but a buddy said the physics are nerfed. I geuss I'll check it out...

It's not nerfed... u can have the same physis in dx10.

Either crap dx10 optimization or crap dx10sli?

I do like the dx10 motion blur but at this setting its unplayable for me less than 28fps in the last battle.

Dude it's a well known fact since the first week crysis was released that you get a significant drop in FPS when running in DX10.

Just use a custom configuration file like everyone else and run the game in DX9 mode. The blur effect may not be quite up to par with DX10 rendering but you'll get everything else DX10 offers.

The engine itself is absolutely astonishing. The physics have their quirks here and there but by and large, they just released the engine too soon IMO. I think the 8800 GTS/GTX cards should have been the minimum required card to run this game and I think that waiting until now would have been a better choice to help reduce the amount of gamers they forced to run at very low resolutions.

I'm dissapointed at the DX10 performance but then again, every game that is DX10 capable runs slower in DX10 mode except for the unreal engine games like GOW and Bioshock but those stay locked at 60 fps all the time so the machine really isn't being challenged in the first place.

I think Clear sky is a step in the right direction but the FPS difference in games like call of juarez, lost planet, crysis, etc when using DX10 vs DX9 is night and day difference in performance.

Makes me think it's not these game engines fault but DX10's fault.. or maybe just a fundamental lack of understanding of DX10 coding. Who knows. I'm no coder so I don't know much about any of that. All I know is that the unreal engine is the only engine that can successfully run in DX10 mode without a major drop in FPS.

I can neither understand the fuss of such a badly optimised game. If i wanted to stare at palm trees and water all day i would have a pic of the maldives on my desktop.

Its not bad optimized you idiot. Its the way the levels are designed along with its huge amount of demanding technologies. You can't even compare it to the half-life or cod games or the bioshock and GoW type of games. There is a good reason for why the game is demanding.

If i wan't to stare at palmleaves all day i'd just run crysis...

****ty engine? Are you kidding? CE2 is a brilliant accomplishment in terms of both technology and graphics. So it doesn't give 75FPS in DirectX10, big deal. Crysis's performance is pretty good considering the insanely detailed graphics it churns out. Kudos to Crytek for pushing the graphics of this generation, atleast they aren't sitting around twiddling their thumbs like Epic/Ubisoft.

New drivers closing the gap some.180.43

Updated drivers and checked out my 9800GTX+ cards,I love my 9800GTX+ cards.
They are as fast if not faster then 280GTX in SLI with no AA I must add.
