Yea, Crysis is a DX9 and DX10 game. Though in a 1up podcast, one of those guys asked a developer what kind of computer he'd need to run the game and got an answer like "a quad core cpu, 2 gigs of ram, and an 8800GTX".
I hope the overall game is fun, I know I marveled at Far Cry's graphics and huge draw distance, but everything else about the game made me cringe.
