Crysis is NOT well optimized in directx10 , proof.

I finaly finished Crysis, i'm not going to you how i liked it, i am so mad at you dumb asses that none of you mentioned this to me before playing this game!
"1. In folder BIN find two files, CryRenderD3D9.dll and CryRenderD3D10.dll
2. Switch their names
3. Then create a shortcut to the file Crysis.exe
4. Go to the shortcut's properties and add -DX10 (write without quotes) at the end of the target line
5. Or, if paragraph 4 failed, then write DX10
6. Also possible option without space, it all depends on the version

Nitro, virtua and to all who played crysis in this forum, this is gold yet none of you have talked about it, forget about those config files, this enables you to play crysis in directx9 mode while keeping all the features of directx 10 in VISTA, yes i didn't used it in XP but vista64, the difference is of course performance.  this shows that directx10 is so fucked up somehow or that cryteck did something very wrong. i can gain between 15% to 30% depending on the scene with NO DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY ! i have some pics for you to see:
 
This is Directx10 mode

Here is what i found out as well, if you activate AAx2 in directx9 mode, it will take a huge hit, enough to make it equal to directx10 X2aa. interesting ? why would that happen exactly? some educated thought ?
Neverthless, this shows that something is seriously fucked up between crytech and microsoft, and i'm really disapointed because i could have played this game way better, specialy by the end when it was sometimes freaking un playable in that cruiser. this is the driving force why i did all this research, i thought that a 4870 SHOULD run this game  at ease, this card is at least twice powerful as a ps3 if not three times in some cases, all the other games prove that, with so much ram and quad overclocked to 3ghz it failed to achieve even 25 fps in many segments of the game (all very high),  crytech should review its code and i bet that far cry 2 will run much much better. too bad i found oout about directx9 mode way too late.
********
on another note, if you play Call of duty 4 on pc,  enable DUAL GPU,  it will improve your FPS even you have one card , see that for yourself. yeah one of those weird things again.

Fu you aba! heheehehe

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

Get over it.

shut up "ninja dog".

Are you implying you're somehow superior to me because I have a life and far fewer posts?

There are people with less posts than you with far less of a life, I'm sure.

And people with far more posts and far more of a life.

No, he's implying he's better than you because he's Swedish. That automatically makes him better than everybody.

If it isn't sold below retail, doesn't have an unpronounceable name or purpose, and can't be assembled in the comfort of my living room while snacking on delicious deli-style meatballs, it's not the coolest Swedish creation around.

seriously , this forum is fucking dead, i thought this would bring a great discution of what this can mean... kikizo is definitly not the same anymore.

Not really, having an excessive amount of posts is sign that you have no life.

Nah, you're the one who's dead.  This thread is unworthy.

Seriously, great discussion? Ok so its playing in better in dx9, it's also been established it scales horribly even as you add more powerful hardware, so we already know the game is crappily designed, reminds me of EQ2, where no matter how good your computer is it lags like shit with everything in any demanding areas.

I told you so.
