Crysis rocks and is DX9

Crytek informed me that Crysis is built with DirectX 9. It will run any any Windows OS that supports that standard. Crytek said that they'll continue to use DX9 for a bit.

Crysis is awesome, by the way. It was fun to play.

Crysis will also support multiple cores. The guy said it would use up to four of them and the entire game is multi-threaded. Put this one on your list to buy.

Gaming coverage will be coming up soon.

I love you Aron.

Who else brings me news that lightens up my day?

Well, the postman on occasion, but this time it is you.

Happy to be of help. I'll be working tonight to type up some stuff.

Isn't it also dx10 compatible though? I thought that was one of the reasons it was so hyped up..other than the game itself.

The guy from Crytek said the entire engine is DX9 and they have no planes to do DX10 with the game... yet.

I'm pretty sure that Cyrsis will have a render path for DX10. That is, like most major games in the last couple of years, it has a render path for DX7 (no shaders), DX8, DX9, DX9c...
