Crytek unveils first DX10 game

[F-0ccY]

The first DX10 game announced
Back in September 2005, at the PDC Microsoft Conference, CryTek, developers of Far Cry, released a movie that showcased some of the capabilities of the Cry Engine 2 under DirectX 10 API: dynamic day/night cycle, fully interactive enviroments, sunrays and diffuse transmission, real time soft shadows, soft particles, interactive/destructrible enviroments, volumetric clouds, and advanced shader technology. Courtesy of DocSEAL, we have the official version of the movie (hi-res version), along with a German video interview with Cevat Yerli, CEO of Crytek, Sten Hübler, Lead Level Designer, and Bernd Diemer, Game Designer. Enjoy another Gamershell.com premiere The game is named Crysis and will be shipping, as the first DX10 enabled game, in Q4 2006. We have the first screenshots from the game, screenshots that were exclusive to the latest Gamestar magazine issue released today.

[Chaos]

nope.. no even dont support dx10

7900 will support dx10

 

[Chaos]

^^Won't support DX10. The next gen R6XX and G80 will most probably support DX10. Lol there's no guarantee it'd be called DX10 either
