I have a quick question regarding the Crysis engine. I'm currently playing Aion which is built on the Crysis engine. Is there a large difference between DX9 and DX10 in Crysis? I really like Aion and the graphics are beautiful, so I'm wondering how much better it can actually get. Anyone have any screenshot comparisons of DX9 and DX10 in Crysis or Aion? Or even an opinion from someone that's used both?

I thought it was built on cryengine (far cry).

Edit: Yup http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CryEngine

Good call, my bad. I saw the Crytek and thought it was Crysis during the Aion bootup. +Rep for the correction. Does that engine support DX10 with any significant upgrades from DX9?

Probably not, thats why they made Cryengine 2 which is used in Crysis and Warhead. Aion is a strictly DX9 game as far as I know.

Yes , Aion uses CryEngine , while Crysis uses Cryengine 2.
