So two weeks ago I bought a brand new computer... Core I7 processor, Nividia 295GTX graphics card, 4gb of memory. So I can play Crysis maxed out. First let me start by saying Crysis does look amazing. However, these pics I always see are very misleading. When playing the game at a high resolution you can easily tell its a game and while it can sometimes come semi close, there is never a point where you would literally question if you were looking at a game or real life. Yet these rl/crysis comparison pics are always low res or pixelated and even after playing the game I can hardly tell the real pictures from the crysis ones. So the bottom line is, Crysis is amazing, but the game does not look like real life nearly to the degree that all these comparison pictures suggest.
One other note, and I probably shouldn't do this but now that I got to play Crysis on max settings and the Killzone 2 demo I just wanted to make a quick comparison. Crysis has better textures, more environment detail and much more realistic environments. On the otherhand Killzone 2 seems to have much better character models, gun models, and animations. Basically, there are aspects of Crysis that are out of Kilzone 2's league, but there may be an equal number of aspects of killzone 2 that are out of crysis' league. IMO

Do you play maxed out settings in dx9 or dx10? I ask because the default max dx9 settings look kinda crappy. BTW, Crysis Warhead looks even better, I'm actually looking into getting the texture mod thats out there (although a 2GB download is kinda depressing).

Welcome to the world of mods.
I picked up the fakefull enhancement of Half-Life 2, Episode 1, and Episode 2 (minus the crappy custom character models) and that was a 4gb download. Though I'd say it was worth it for the most part because it puts new life into the Source engine by putting more details on nearly everything.

Oh don't get me wrong, some mods are more than worth the download size (I have been most impressed with the texture improvements to M2:TW). I am actually more torn over whether or not 2GB is worth the time for Crysis, mainly because the textures in Crysis are pretty good already.
I was actually really interested in the texture updates for Fallout 3, now there is a texture mod worth my bandwidth.
