The game officially limits in-game settings to "high quality" in Windows XP, while Windows Vista gets an additional "very high quality" graphics setting. Crysis still looks good at high quality, but it's a noticeable step down from the very high quality settings. Some ingenious users managed to enable very high quality on the Crysis demo in Windows XP through a clever bit of configuration-file editing. The second image in each set of comparison shots demonstrate what the hacked very high quality settings look like in Windows XP.

Crysis looks really realistic on very high quality graphics settings. It's time to buy 8800 GT for me.

EVERYBODY LISTEN UP.

These screenshots are a lie.

Look at the User Interface.
For this person to have taken two pictures on two different OSes, he would first of all, not have them 100% perfectly alligned, and second of all, I doubt he would go through the trouble of making sure that his BULLET ROUND COUNTS were the exact same for EVERY paired picture.

He obviously took two pictures in the same spot, and labelled one as XP, and one as Vista.
The FPS chart may be right, but the screenshots are a lie. DO not believe this. DirectX10 offers much more than DirectX9.
DirectX10 offers Shader Model 4.0, which by itself creates a HUGE impact for shading and shadow patterns in-game. Being compared to Shader Model 3, the natural modification difference is set at a large range.

Doing something as absurd as this is basically calling great, effortly-released features like Shader Model 4, a joke.

Even look at the 4th picture. Compare the Vista Very High screenshot to the XP Very High shot. Wanna know the difference? The nano-suit power is at a difference of 1. [88 to 89]. This is more than enough proof to prove my point that the XP vs. Vista shots are a lie.
