The PS3 doesnt use DirectX so it doesnt need to have DirectX 10 .Its graphics libraries are OpenGL and those are continually improving (and not when MS says so ) .The only thing is that to port the game the DX10 effects must be imitated or replicated through OpenGL effects (new or programmed for the ocassion ) and thats all .Crysys wont need a uber-powerful PC ,not one better than the PS3 in any case .

The fact is the PS3s GPU is derived from the G70 family, which is old tech at this point. I'm certain that Crysis will be doing things that only the G80 and R600s are capable of - and not just from a brute power.

And to look as good as possible, Crysis will need a PC more powerful than the PS3. Than again, this won't be hard to do by the end of the year when this game releases.


 If you look at my links, then you'll see it'll take 18 months for technology to catch up with the PC. So yes, it's kinda obvious a more powerful PC than the PS3 to run it at full graphics, but even without full detail, it's still gonna look pretty awesome.

@eab Thanks! :D I'm paying attention to this game as I've got my eye on it, as it seems my dad bought a new computer at the right time, and with high enough specs to run the game close to full detail (E6600 Core 2 Duo, 4gb RAM, and nVidia 8600 GT)
