I would go beyond very hard ... ain't like we have a feature complete x86 GPU standard. We do not even have a standard for floating-point textures which all cards can agree upon. And since there aint that many games out there that pushes your GPU like CryEngine2 any driver bugs is bounded to be felt/noticed in Crysis. I mean it aint like either ATI or NVIDIA has public mesa test results of even their OpenGL driver. (That being said I remember having similar issues with the in-game menu on FarCry with an Radeon 9800 Pro, but I bought a 6800 to play PS 3.0 and the issue disappeared..) your are correct 100% compatibility is … I would go beyond very hard … ain’t like we have a feature complete x86 GPU standard.

So far I didn't find any reason to run Vista as my default OS; I only use it when I specifically have to test something on it. Anyway, I'm sure it's just some super-weird interaction between <i>something</i> on my machine that Crysis does not like. I'm not blaming Crysis, just pointing out that getting 100% compatibility is <i>very hard</i> on PCs. Something is wrong on a seemingly good machine, and good luck with finding out what exactly... .shade: I’m usually running on XP because Vista, shall we say, is “not that good”.

Your GPU should implement DirectX 10.1 Perhaps its your ATI driver ... they do have serious issues at DAAMIT, they even open sourced their linux driver .... Nevertheless I have an NVIDIA 8800 as well and I run Crysis with rather high settings and looks excellent, its amazing how far ahead the CryTek engine is compared to other game companies.

Yeah, there is something weird <i>somewhere</i>, but so far no Crysis for me. Nope, D3D is using release runtime. Yeah, there is something weird somewhere, but so far no Crysis for me.

I ran crysis on a similar CPU with a nvidia 8800 video card at an average of 60fps. I'd say there's something wrong on your side... Are you sure you’re not running it using Direct3D in debug mode.
