Concordo com você colega. Comentário sensato.pra quem pensou q eu me aborreci com os comentarios pode ficar tranquilo pq não me aborreci .
eu apenas acho interessante esse tipo de comentario.
se eu estivesse escrevendo com um monte de erro de português talvez ninguem comentasse, aliás é o q mais se vê por aqui, mas isso já não vem ao caso mais .
até onde sei não tem nada de errado nas minhas postagens .

esse assunto pra mim tá encerrado.:whistle:
agora voltando ao topico lhes digo q essa coisa de q tal jogo não é 100% dx10 é querer se auto-enganar .
não existe isso de jogo não 100% dx10 .
com muito pouco tempo de lançado o dx10 já teremos em breve o 10.1 e isso prova q não houve evolução com a atual mudança.
eu entendo q algumas pessoas acabam por me ignorar e me repudiar pelo fato de q eu estou sempre criticando falsas inovações , mas entendo isso e sei q é totalmente normal.
mas eu quero q todos entendam q eu apenas defendo nossos direitos de consumidor e fanaticos.
tenta fazer um alcolatra parar de beber e vc ganha um inimigo mortal , tenta fazer um fumante viciado parar de fumar e vc ganha um inimigo mortal , e assim por diante .
gostei do crysis pq sou fã de far cry e vou joga-lo com certeza , mas ninguem se iluda não pq decepção é uma coisa muito ruim e todos podem acabar por passarem por isso .
Crysis será uma evolução sim com certeza, com gráficos... jamais vistos. Eu adorei. E olha que nem troquei de placa!
Mas vou discordar sobre o 100% DX10 ou que seja 10.1 (dá no mesmo). Como há jogos 100% DX9 por amadurecimento e tempo de programação para tal , não ocorre o mesmo pro recetemente lançado Dx10, não houve tempo suficiente para se programar um game totalmente Dx10. Nem as placas de vídeo estão amadurecidas pra isso!!! (vide posts). Não se cria uma tecnologia seja ela em hardware ou software da noite pro dia. Quem é profissional da área sabe do que estou falando...
EDIT: Sobre o seu último tópico relacionando ao DX10, confirma o que estou dizendo. Assim...
Para mim a Crytek está de alugação na galera, seta o DX9 em High e o DX10 em Very High, e enche os sites de Screen.
Assim fica muito visivel a diferença, DX10 é bom mas o DX9 não é tão ruim assim.
Sobre o Beta............grafico muito, nunca tinha visto algo igual,depois desse driver novo melhorou bastante,a jogabilidade mais ainda não da pra fala se é boa ou ruim antes do demo, porque o ping alto prejudica a galera com certeza; Eu aposto que quando sair o Full todo mundo vai aplaudir, até mesmo quem não é fan

O povo ta achando o desempenho do Crysis ruim e metendo o pau no game e falando que o DX10 é ruim, mas todas aquelas inovações que o Baiano disse na pagina passada e fico falando "cade" como um ... , so vão poder se vistas em games com 100% DX 10, enquanto o game for baseado em DX9c e efeitos DX10 ele vai ser super pesado, pq vai ter todo os defeitos de perca de desempenho do DX9.
Não tem hoje nenhuma placa DX10 de verdade e nem software DX10 de verdade, final do ano que vem com a serie 9 e HD 3XXX e os primeiros games exclusivos DX10 ai sim poderão ser visto o desempenho, todo mundo lembra que a serie 6 da nvidia era capada em DX9c e a serie 7 ja veio bem melhor, então a serie 8 fico capada no DX10 e possivelmente a serie 9 ja vai ter isso corrigido com ganho de desempenho e qualidade, e detalhe o DX10 é um DX9c melhorado as inovações vão vir no DX10.1, isso foi jogada de marketing da M$ em conjunto com os fabricantes de GPU´s pr vender placa e deixa os Gamers na mão com uma nova API em pouco tempo.
Vamos ter calma gente.

Como eu queria pegar aqueles gringos de igual pra igual. Se bem que eles são ruins pra burro...já acabei em primeiro duas ou três vezes e sempre fico classificado pra sul-americana :lol:
Desses jogos que vão ser lançados até o fim do ano, Crysis é o que tem maior potencial na minha opinião. Mas cá entre nós....tem que melhorar muito em termos de desempenho do que foi o beta. Ao contrário de muitos aqui, não fiquei embasbacado com os gráficos...esperava bem mais, afinal foram vários meses regados a fotos de cair o queixo.
Exatamente. Teria escrito tudo isso no meu post anterior.:thumbs_up
O WVista ainda é um bebê, o DX10 também, os jogos "DX10" e as placas idem.
EDIT: Lembrei de uma coisa colega. Já percebeu que ninguém ainda comentou sobre o SOM, seja ele sob Dx9 ou 10?
![[CAPSWAT]Swordfish*3L*](/data/avatars/m/26/26487.jpg?1439493763){kind=avatar}
Galera aproveitando aqui q vc estão falando de DX10 Windows Vista Etc...
Tenho o PC da Config da assinatura as vezes acho q ele não tem um ótimo desempenho vcs acham q pode ser pelo fato de eu estar usando Windows Vista X64 bits?

Cara o ganho de desempenho do sistema em geral o XP é mais rapido. Mais em jogos ate entao nao notei diferença. Se bem que faz 9 meses que só uso o Vista.
é isso meu broder, mas ai q entra o problema maior.
quando existia o dx8 e lançaram o dx9a houve um avanço t tanto , ai eles foram aperfeiçoando com dx9b e 9c , mas na mudança do dx8 pra 9a houve uma evolução brutal , porem agora eles lançam um dx10 sem praticamente inovação nenhuma quando comparado ao dx9 exigindo q todos mudassem suas placas de video e agora mesmo sem mostrar pra q veio o dx10 já lançarão o dx10.1 e lembre-se de passagem q as placas dx10 não terão acesso aos novos recursos do dx10.1 .
isso é sujeira ou não ?
editado!
é só ver aqui mesmo no forum como o pessoal q tem as ati radeon dx9b q não pegam certos jogos ou não aceitam o hdr ou outros efeitos exclusivos do dx9c como exemplo as x800 , x800xt q são excelentes placas , mas por causa desse tipo de comportamento do tio bill gates acabaram com um prejuizão e ficaram sem poder jogar um monte de jogos pela ausencia do dx9c(leia-se pixel shader 3.0) , mas pelo menos esse mesmo pessoal teve um ganho monstruoso quando saiu o dx9 substituindo o dx8.1 , mas agora eu vejo a coisa se repetindo , porem de forma mais agressiva e menos respeitosa ao consumidor.
Pode até ser sujeira em relação ao marketing criado pra se vender o Vista (já que o XP "supostamente" não suportaria o DX10). Em relação ao DX10 creio que devemos ser sensatos e aguardar mais um pouco. Ele virá, está engatinhando...mesmo que seja sob o Vista.
Bom trocar idéias. Gosto disso.:thumbs_up
EDIT: Já percebeu que poucas pessoas comentam sobre a "qualidade do SOM" seja ele sob o Dx9 ou 10?
heheheheheheheheh Uma nova entrevista super interessante, vou destacar alguns pontos como eles usaram o DX10 antes das 7800 (rodando à 2~5 fps), Crysis o Filme, e outros detalhes como se DX11 chegasse ano que vem, eles adaptariam Crysis pra essa APi, isso pq a Crytek adora tecnologias.
Is the story more important this time around?
- Yes, we have hired writers from Hollywood, we have actually gotten many offers concerning a movie already, we can't talk about it now, but we are hoping to make a Crysis movie soon. At last we are focusing to expand the non-linear gameplay, and of course the visual quality, which Crytek is well known for.
While we are on the topic of technology - there is no secret that Windows Vista has had an uneven start. Do you feel that Crysis is a so called killer app for DirectX 10 and Vista? Is this the game that will make gaming on Vista socially accepted?
- Haha. One thing is clear: DirectX 10 is the future. The gaming experience under DX10 will be be different. Crysis will also be different. How much? We feel that the Vista experience and Crysis give full effect, you can't get it any better without. Under DirectX 9 you can get something similar. Some people look at it in a different way and say that they don't need it, but I must say that I want it. If you want the full experience, there is no way around Vista. Will we change the problems that Vista is having? I don't know. Vista has other problems that we can't do anything about, we have had problems and other games currently under development have had problems with Vista. When we release Crysis, I think that many of those problems will be fixed by Microsoft. They understand that time is running short. I also think that we definetly will get many gamers over to Vista, because as I said, full Crysis experience is on Vista, with DirectX10, and this also demands a pretty good computer. So you might have to get a new computer.
Have you been working with DX10 from the beginning?
- Well, we got DX10 hardware very early. We worked with NVIDIA, ATI also pushed hard in this direction. But the first card we got from NVIDIA was actually slower than the 7800 cards! And we had to emulate DX10, it was pretty tough to work with. But the fun thing was that we had the DX10 version visible on the screen without the compatible hardware, only by running an emulator - this ran at 3 to 5 pictures a second! I mean, if DX11 had come out next year, we would adapt to that. We have to. It is Crytek's philosophy: Whatever the technological boundary is, we go for it. Our technology is fully scalable, any game that uses CryEngine 2 now, has DX10 integrated.
The singleplayer demo that is coming, will the coding there be final?
- Maybe not entirely final, but very, very close. We are very critical when it comes to how the game runs on different hardware. We don't want anyone to run the game at 10 frames per second. When we say that this and this are the minimum requirements, you should be able to run Crysis at an acceptable framerate, even though it is without the full visual quality. The drivers are also very important, and it is one of the biggest problems. We are getting drivers from NVIDIA on a daily basis, they are fixing problems every day, and they are improving the quality. The last driver was released two days ago, and they are mentioning specifically that the compatibility with Crysis is improved. Within the time that the game reaches the stores, it is most probable that we will get five new revisions of drivers, and it will run well.
It would really hurt us if we released a game that was choppy, in that case we would rather spend an extra six months - and added some new functions! And it is already a big game.
Yes, how many hours of gameplay would you say that Crysis has to offer?
For a good player, ten to twelve hours. But - you can play it again two to three times. And the experience will be different. Similar, of course, but still different. It is the artificial intelligence that does it.
E o resto, onde eles citam os consoles, e outros detalhes aqui.

Tem isso do som , mas o povo olha so oq é mais evidente o GRAFICO e tb o mais importante o GRAFICO.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Falaram que do DX8.1 pr DX9a a mudança foi grande, pode ser grande, mas hoje os games ja estão bem evoluidos pr ter uma mudança extrema como o povo queria ver, se a mudança fosse extrema o game teria de ter grafico real e etc e outro detalhe se do DX8.1 pr DX9a a mudança foi rapida, do DX9b pr DX9c que foi apenas uma atualização de API a mudança foi lenta, gastou quase 1 ano sair games que fezeram bom uso dos efeitos DX9c, pr mim o 1° game que marco o DX9c foi o Call OF Juarez, pq antes jogos como Oblivion, SC:CT e outros jogar com SM3.0 ou 2.0 mudava pouca coisa mas com o COJ o SM3.0 OFF o game parecia ser outro perdia muita qualidade grafica e fora as sombras perfeitas(mesmo que as placas DX9b rodaram as sobras do COJ no max tb, mas ele foi o 1° a usar sobras com aquela qualidade).
O povo diz que Crysis vai revolucionar, mas so acredito nisso so vendo o demo pq no Beta achei o grafico dele a nivel de qualquer outro game.
Mas como dizem o beta tem qualidade grafica reduzida, então quero ver o demo, pq no demo naum tem como dizer que a qualidade esta reduzida.
Flw
Se você ler o que eu acabei de postar, até o demo pode vir sem toda a qualidade do full.
Joga sem som!
Eu creio que Crysis será "O jogo". To gostando do que vi até agora... e ainda não troquei a placa de vídeo.
PUTZ, agora o KAMALH, pegou pesado, falar que os graficos do beta são igual a qualquer outro game é sacanagem, vc não deve estar jogando o mesmo beta que eu, ou vc esta jogando com tudo no minimo, ai não tem como fica bonito.
pena agente não esta autorizado a colocar screens do beta aqui pq eu mesmo tenho cada uma que iria fazer a galera babar, ainda mais do pordo-sol no oceano, não é YANG? libera ai galera que vcs vão ver se existe algum jogo com os mesmos graficos deste BETA.

Eu tenho certeza que o demo vem melhor que o beta, e o full vem melhor que o demo e depois de um tempo largam um patch pra deixar o game mais forte ainda................a galera está esquecendo que quem está fazendo o jogo é a Crytek:cry:, ela mesma que fez o Farcry;Está acontecendo tudo de novo é so fazer um esforço e lembra :wave:Se você ler o que eu acabei de postar, até o demo pode vir sem toda a qualidade do full.
Realmente devemos estar jogando betas diferentes porque eu também não vi nada fora de série nós gráficos desse beta. Os interiores achei até bem abaixo do que está rolando por aí. Isso não significa que seja feio, e que não tenha elementos interessantes.
[BolsoVazio+PaiPobre mode=ON]
Esse jogo não tem nada de mais e ainda é um lixo mal programado! Joguei o demo no low e não vi diferença nenhuma pro doom3 (WTF!! huahua) e tá muito pesado! Além disso a qualidade das screens do demo q joguei não estão iguais as que os mentiroso da Crytek fizeram no photoshop e colocaram na internet... E... Eu já falei da jogabilidade mais do mesmo? Nossa, não tem nada de novo no jogo e eu posto sempre aqui pq o tópico é um dos primeiros da lista e etc... etc... etc...

Q&A: Crytek CEO specs out Crysis
Cevat Yerli spells out the system requirements for his upcoming first-person shooter, and offers insight on getting the most from the hardware.
By Staff, GameSpot
Posted Oct 9, 2007 10:58 am PT
As any PC gamer can attest to, the system's lack of uniform hardware that helps distinguish it from consoles is a double-edged sword. Although a high-end PC is often capable of outperforming even the latest and greatest console tech, high-end PC games make a habit of pushing the technical envelope, which forces PC gamers to upgrade regularly in order to meet ever-escalating system requirements.
He's just in awe of the lush environments.
The latest such PC game is Crytek's first-person shooter Crysis. With the game set to arrive November 13, Crytek today revealed the minimum and recommended system requirements for the game.
Minimum System Requirements:
OS--Windows XP or Windows Vista
Processor--2.8GHz or faster (XP); 3.2GHz or faster* (Vista)
Memory--1GB RAM or 1.5GB RAM (Vista)
Video Card--256MB**
Hard Drive--12GB
Sound Card DirectX 9.0c compatible
* Supported Processors: Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz (3.2GHz for Vista) or faster, Intel Core 2GHz (2.2GHz for Vista) or faster, and other similar CPUs.
** Supported chipsets: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT + or similar GPUs. Laptop versions of these chipsets may work but are not supported. Integrated chipsets are not supported. Updates to your video and sound card drivers may be required.
Recommended System Requirements:
OS--Windows XP / Vista
Processor--Intel Core 2 DUO @ 2.2GHz
Memory--2GB RAM
GPU--NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS/640 or similar
No doubt those specs will inspire a number of gamers to upgrade their rigs. So with Crysis nearing release and countless gamers' credit cards dangerously close to being maxed out, GameSpot took the opportunity to discuss the system requirements with Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli.
GameSpot: Let's talk about the minimum system requirements. How would you describe the graphics on this setting, and how do they compare to other games? What do you lose, in terms of graphical fidelity, at the minimum system compared to the recommended system?
Crysis isn't all fun in the sun.
Cevat Yerli: The quality of Crysis running on [minimum spec hardware] does equal the shading and texture quality of games that are about three years old, but with polygonal detail that is bigger then games from that same generation. The scaling happens in various areas, such as shading-quality, texture-resolution, shadows. View distance and interactivity are close to Far Cry. Our goal was to reach a quality with the game on the various specs to compete with games that are from the last two generations until today's generation, respectively for low, medium, and high [specification setups], with the very high [spec setups] hoping to define the upcoming and introduced generation with Crysis.
GS: Crysis requires a minimum of 256MB of video card memory, which is pretty unprecedented for a PC game. Are you afraid that a lot of PC gamers won't have powerful-enough hardware to run the game? Is there no way around that?
CY: The 256 MB 6800 was [available] in 2004 as the high-end card, so hence we picked this. Further compromises were possible but quality and frame rate would have suffered more. We are not afraid, since we know by statistics from our partners like Nvidia and Intel and from PC manufactures the base to play our game is theoretically bigger than the consoles, plus we hope Crysis inspires people to play at very high configurations that--like in the past with top-tier titles--usually required you to upgrade your PC.
GS: What's more important to have for Crysis: A powerful CPU or a powerful video card?
CY: Actually they should be in sync. Low CPU and high GPU makes little sense, since the game might then become CPU-bound; likewise, if you have a strong CPU and low GPU, your game may not render fast enough. So you should align the generations of hardware when building your PC, in general. If you have a CPU and GPU both from the last 12 months, though, and you want to upgrade one of the components, then it should be the GPU.
GS: How important is system memory to the performance of the game? Are the load times a lot shorter if you have 2GB or more of memory? Does the game run smoother?
CY: More memory means usually less stalls, more stable frame rates, and loading times will speed up indeed. So yes, 2GB or more is better.
GS: The game will ship with support for DirectX 9 and DirectX 10. However, all recent events have shown the game running in DX9. Does the DX10 version offer the same, or slightly better, performance? If gamers have Vista and DX10 cards, do you recommend that they play in DX10 over DX9?
CY: Players who have DX10 will get a better-looking experience, with all of our settings dialed all the way up, but this will take up more of your hardware's resources. This is what our "Very High" settings are reserved for, and if you have the hardware, we fully recommend it. Our "High" settings can be used by DX10 and DX9 users, and will perform better in DX10, though our DX9 players will have nothing to worry about because we are really pushing that technology to new levels.
GS: When we talked last year it was said that Crysis will ship with 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Is 64-bit still in the box? Does it offer any kind of performance improvements as predicted?
CY: Yes, 64-bit in general runs better than 32-bit. In fact I would recommend gamers run 64-bit only under very high configurations. We ship both 32- and 64-bit out of box.
GS: As demanding as Crysis is in terms of technology, Crytek has always stated that the technology serves the gameplay. So what does all of this power let you do with Crysis?
CY: Higher interactivity with physics, [and] more intense analysis of artificial intelligence for dynamic obstacles, since obstacles are created through breakabilities. Shadows and lighting impact gameplay perception and decision making; so does the environmental art. Impacts in general exist in all aspects of Crysis gameplay.
GS: Finally, any last thoughts on Crysis' technology and its system requirements?
CY: My final thoughts are, I am happy that we managed to scale down Crysis--which is on average 10 times more pushy than Far Cry--down to Far Cry specs. But Crysis is a high-end game that shall define what's now and in the future. Enjoy it as such as much as you can. It's like a concept car available and affordable now. I like also this quote somebody gave: "It's like a sexy blond girl with a PhD degree," upon which I said, "But with curly hair."

If you have a CPU and GPU both from the last 12 months, though, and you want to upgrade one of the components, then it should be the GPU.
GS: How important is system memory to the performance of the game? Are the load times a lot shorter if you have 2GB or more of memory? Does the game run smoother?
CY: More memory means usually less stalls, more stable frame rates, and loading times will speed up indeed. So yes, 2GB or more is better.
GS: The game will ship with support for DirectX 9 and DirectX 10. However, all recent events have shown the game running in DX9. Does the DX10 version offer the same, or slightly better, performance? If gamers have Vista and DX10 cards, do you recommend that they play in DX10 over DX9?
CY: Players who have DX10 will get a better-looking experience, with all of our settings dialed all the way up, but this will take up more of your hardware's resources. This is what our "Very High" settings are reserved for, and if you have the hardware, we fully recommend it. Our "High" settings can be used by DX10 and DX9 users, and will perform better in DX10, though our DX9 players will have nothing to worry about because we are really pushing that technology to new levels.
GS: When we talked last year it was said that Crysis will ship with 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Is 64-bit still in the box? Does it offer any kind of performance improvements as predicted?
CY: Yes, 64-bit in general runs better than 32-bit. In fact I would recommend gamers run 64-bit only under very high configurations. We ship both 32- and 64-bit out of box.
GS: As demanding as Crysis is in terms of technology, Crytek has always stated that the technology serves the gameplay. So what does all of this power let you do with Crysis?
CY: Higher interactivity with physics, [and] more intense analysis of artificial intelligence for dynamic obstacles, since obstacles are created through breakabilities. Shadows and lighting impact gameplay perception and decision making; so does the environmental art. Impacts in general exist in all aspects of Crysis gameplay.
GS: Finally, any last thoughts on Crysis' technology and its system requirements?
CY: My final thoughts are, I am happy that we managed to scale down Crysis--which is on average 10 times more pushy than Far Cry--down to Far Cry specs. But Crysis is a high-end game that shall define what's now and in the future. Enjoy it as such as much as you can. It's like a concept car available and affordable now. I like also this quote somebody gave: "It's like a sexy blond girl with a PhD degree," upon which I said, "But with curly hair."
