@Dirk13: It makes sense from a sales standpoint IMO, a lot of people will get Crysis, DX9 or 10. Why not give it a lasting graphical value? This is like Farcry all over again. Still, it does irk some people who want to max all the game's settings out. Whoever can't see difference in quality needs their eyes checked. Remember these are screenshots for one... maybe some of differences are subtle, but they are there.

Any of those settings is awesome! There is a difference from DX9 to 10, but if I didn't have a DX10 system, I'd not upgrade JUST for this game alone.
