will have to tweak around but if i have to run this game on medium settings with a quad core and 8800 ultra then

Odd, im assuming 2 gigs of ram for that. Im running all highs, except medium on shadows. Nvidia cards always seem to hate shadows and chug with em.

Run DX10 features in DX9 hah!

"So DX10 is Vista-only? Rubbish. The PC gaming crowd have found a way to enable many of the "DX10-exclusive" graphical touches in EA's Crysis for users running XP, and it doesn't even require a hack. It takes a quick edit of a config file (as in, cutting and pasting ONE LINE), and voilÃ*, you've got pretty much the same pretty sun and water effects as those suckers who forked out for Vista. You can cut and paste a single line of text, right?"

Jus copy and paste some code, follow the link posted above. Apparently the hit on fps isn't large at all. I'm off to try it now, I'll take screenies if poss

Graphically theres not much diff betwen dx9 and 10 anyway.
