Ok i had a look at those DX9 VH and DX10 VH screens and i'm confused.

I will say they do look very similar. I do notice a slight difference in shader/lighting, but that could be down to the fact that the screens werent taken in identicle places with the identicle view point.

But still i'm confused. DX10 enables SM4 right, and for SM4 to work you need an 8 series gfx card right? I'm pretty sure Crysis takes advantage of SM4 as well as a lot of other nifty tricks. If that's the case, how are people running SM4 on SM3/2 cards? As far as i know you cant do that.

Same goes for some other effects. I'm confused as to how effects that are more... compatible with DX10 (i.e they run better/optimized for DX10) and with DX10 cards can work on DX9 hardware.

The only thing that comes up in my mind is that people are running an 8series gfx card on XP and tweaking Crysis. Has anyone got the kind of detail in those screenshots on a 7 series or before gfx card?
