i dont think so. the first crytec engine was used for farcry, and it did exactly what crysis is doing now.
i would agree with most of the other people get a 3870, another thing is how much is the 3870x2 supposed to be, because i might get that if it is in 300 range 350
With any luck they'll use proper shadows this time. I wouldn't mind Crysis' ridiculous hardware requirements (oh and yes, Farcry ran pretty badly on top end PCs when it came out, but not as badly as Crysis does now - 1024x768 on High was usually doable, but not 1280x1024. With Crysis most people can only just get away with 800x600, Me included) if it at least had decent shadows. I can live with slightly lower quality textures because the ones used in Crysis are very good, but when I stand next to somebody whose head casts a shadow comprised of just 5 squares, that looks pretty terrible occupying 1/3 of a 30" screen, and that's on High!
