In an earlier article, it was reported that Crysis was running at 60+ fps for most of the time at CES 2007. In this new article, Jack Mamais tells techspot that the game is running at a resolution of 2048x1536. Judging by the HUD size in the images below, this seems like it's true.Combine that information with the fact that most of the code is still unoptimized, and you can easily understand how well Crysis will run. Take note that Crysis was running in DX10 at CES 2007, so could Microsoft's claim of 6 to 8 time the performance be true? If you read some of the earlier news items or read the techspot link posted below, you'd also know that Crysis was running an unknown core 2 duo processor and a single 8800GTX.
This really is incredible news. This proves that any current DX10 rig will run Crysis perfectly smooth with all graphical settings max at a resolution of atleast 1600x1200. Like mentioned above, the size of the HUD in the images below tells us that the game was running at a fairly high resolution.
I'm predicting that a mid-range DX10 card (8600GT / X2600XT) will run Crysis in DX10 better than any current DX9 rig running Crysis in DX9.

Now, what we did love about paying a visit to Microsoft booth was giving DX10-powered Crysis a try. We have to admit we continue to be huge fans of Far Cry, and having Crytek developers working on an innovative PC title again makes us drool. We were able to talk with Jack Mamais, Crysis’ Lead Designer, who wouldn’t confirm a release date but he said they are hoping to have it done by the first half of this year. He mentioned they are about to reach alpha development stage, meaning the one playable level they were showing was still non-optimized code. Running on a fast (single core) Intel CPU and a single Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX board, the game ran smooth for the most part on an impressive 2048x1536 resolution, with some choppiness noticed when things got really busy on the screen. We couldn’t help being impressed by Crysis graphics and gameplay versatility, so we put our word down on it, this should be on your top 5 game watch list for 2007.
Hope you have enjoyed our “in pictures” coverage of CES, we will have Part 2 posted really soon.
Finally, we can all rest easy.

The demo of the game we played showed a great potential. The game was running in DirectX 10 mode on 32-bit Vista. The code may still have some infant illnesses but it looks great on a G80, Geforce 8800 GTX, Core 2 duo and it provides 60 FPS+, at almost all times. It certainly works and looks much better than Rainbow [buggy] Six Vegas.
The game is Cevet’s baby and he wants to make it as great as possible.
We have a few more details about the game and a short video that we will try to share later as we are about to jump on another meeting. Crysis looks and feels great and we're looking forward to playing it in all its polished glory.
