Why is it that i can set DX10 in this game with my 4870 and Windows 7?, i thought Windows 7 was only DX9 and DX11 capable.

Nope! It's DirectX 10 compatible.

Game plays near perfect so far. Wish i could turn down the shadows just a little bit though as there is some places i get little slow downs but thats it.

Got it on 1920x1080 Very High AAA + 4AF but missed ( if one ) a custom button


BTW is AAA higher than MSAA ?

physX has this wonderful thing where the game version and installed versions have to match - for an example, your game might need physX 1.5 (made up number), so you install that with the game. you then look in the folder and find out you have 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.5a and so on...

makes for great compatibility issues when every game uses its own unique version of PhysX >.<

WOW!!!!!!!!!!
This is unreal!
Visuals are stunning!
Reminds me of STALKER!
Even have stalkers in the game haha!

I like!!!!!!!!!!

I am running it on 1680x1050 on High settings.
I do get FPS drops every now and then which is bothering me...
Why can't you manually change them??
I have NO AA on?? I can't move the slider????

I thought my GPU would be enough for this on High!!

I'm running two overclocked 5850's to achieve about 45fps (with new 10.3a drivers) I don't think a single 5870 will do it. Some features will have to be turned down.

Ok no worries, I thought I wouldn't be able too. Have you noticed any improvements in those 10.3a drivers, just wondering cause I just bought the game on steam, about to install it, surprisingly its only a 4.2gig game, unless steam isn't showing the right amount oh biggy!

The hell ..Call of Cthulu was the most frightening game for me..its a bit old atm but hasn lost it touch imo..still if I was bit younger, I would definately piss my pants..STALKERs and FEARs are not comparable .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNUeDhRYDNk

DX10 put a bit more of a hit on my system, compared to DX9 - still maintaining above 45-50FPS on average. I had to lower AA from MSAAx4 to keep running at 1920x1200 and keep everything smooth (had very slight stuttering) . . . boo hoo

The additional effects, though, of DX10 are nice - the volumetric smoke, for example, is quite heavy in this game. Pretty cool to fire your weapon, and watch the weapon smoke disperse from firing.

I'll again state that I don't think this title is anywhere near as un-optimized as many thought it would be.

Game is heavy graphical wise, but yes, IMHO Crysis HAS FALLEN as the best looking game...
