The “Break it Down” Blog

The shots below are a comparison of Crysis running under DX9 at a Low quality setting compared to DX10 running at the highest quality setting. Apparently there is an “Extreme” quality setting in the game, but is currently locked since no hardware out there can run it at a playable frame rate (Remember when Doom 3 did this and no one could see a difference between Very High and Ultra but it took like 512MB of video memory or higher to turn it on? YAY!)

Left Low / Right High

 

And then for some scrolling-comparison, VE3D put together a merged panorama of all the different quality settings from Very High to Very Low (top to bottom).
