Default A no BS way to improve your Crysis graphics

With little performance hit.

Read all about it right here.

I don't have Crysis yet, but evidently, this dude is telling the truth. Many folks are very happy with the results.

Yeah, crysis intentionally disabled very high settings in DX9 mode to make DX10 look even better than it really was. Since the demo came up people were editing the ini files enabling very high settings in DX9.

I think it will only work in winxp. DX10 right now, as you know, is poorly implemented. This forces DX9 rendering at very high settings, which was intentionally disabled by the devs to make DX10 appear better.
