7800GT or x1900GT???

From G80 and R600 you will get more frames than the 7950GX2 and x1950XTX but that doesn't mean that the 7950GX2 and x1950XTX will not pay the game at high settings@res. below 1600x1200.

Not only you'll get more framerates, you'll get better looking graphics if you run it on Vista with DX10. That's a safe bet for high settings.

I don't expect 7900s, X1900s to run it a high settings regardless which DX it'll use.

"Crysis will feature out-of-the-box 32-bit, 64-bit, DirectX 9, DirectX 10, and multithreading support," he said. That's a lot of technical jargon, so we'll go over each point one by one. The important thing to keep in mind is that you won't have to worry about configuring all of these settings when you install the game, as Crysis will automatically configure itself based on what kind of hardware you have." This was a part of a preview from gamespot.com

The game will have less "image quality" in dx9 mode than in dx10 mode so there will be no problem with current high end cards. We will play it at high settings with playable frames. I know that graphics cards that will support the dx10 will deliver better "image quality".
