I wonder how much Fileplanet pays these developers to get the exclusive rights to these betas and demos.

Well apparently the beta is DX9 only. I wonder if running in DX10 will give better performance? Afterall wasn't Crysis designed from the getgo for DX10 and just made compatible with DX9?
Sounds a little too optimistic to me, most of the DX10 paths thus far have resulted in worse performance.
Kind of bummed that a Q6600 and GTX can't handle the truth, this doesn't bode well for the "regular joe's" among us and further stresses that whether G92 is a high end refresh or not, NVIDIA better have something in the pipe before Christmas to get acceptable performance.

Crysis is full DX10 code inside and out. That = better performance.

You're saying a game that took 4 years to develop is written in dx10 from the ground up?

It is, ask the devs or just search the net for one of the many interviews they give. They say they are taking full advantage of DX10 and have written the game with DX10 in mind. What does that say to you?
random note: I think I lost 100IQ points reading through some of the retarded posts on gamefaqs.com. People running 3Ghz P4 systems with 7600GT or slower video cards and 1GB of memory are complaining of how the game looks bad and runs bad...um DUH! Oh and apparently nobody understands how to create a profile to save the graphics settings.

Yeah. We all need to remember that when Far Cry was released, no one could play the game with max settings at 16x12 with full AA/AF. Later, newer cards came out that allowed the game to be played as it was meant to be. And here we are in Sept 2007, and Far Cry still looks fantastic.
Same will be for Crysis, and they have stated this, many times. It is going to be a very demanding game, built for cards coming out within the next 12-18 months.
We aught to consider ourselves lucky at least with the cpu prices. A Q6600 is going to be plenty of cpu power for this game, and its coming in at ~280 right now.
I applaud them for this. Yes, please, push the hardware makers. But more importantly, it is not due to shoddy programming, but actually good graphics and physics.
I think after MS releases an update for DX10, newer revisions of DX10 cards are released, and we have more mature drivers, we're going to be good to go with Crysis, and other well-coded DX10 games as well.

If you do have a key, stop playing for a sec and give us some info
On behalf of Crytek and EA we ask you to not post any content if you signed up for the Beta. It is a closed event and is covered by a NDA you have accepted during the sign-up process. Posting screenshots, videos or other internal information from the Beta is a violation of the NDA and will cause in an immediate and permanent ban from the Beta program.
As a Fan & Community Site we ask you to monitor your forums and chime in when necessary. Also please do not post any news on your site that includes internal information from the Beta. Even though the interest from the public audience in such an event is greater than expected, we still do not want to see internal information on a public forum or web site.
Quite a few of you wonder why you haven?t had any chance to sign-up for the first batch of the Beta. This was due to this first batch being available for a pre-selected group only. The members of this group are people who have been invited by EA and/or Crytek to join the Beta program of Crysis. There has been a very limited number of available keys for them. Additionally Fileplanet gave a few of their Founder?s Club Members the chance to sign-up for this event as well.
This is our final test to verify the stability before the initial Beta begins. It is an important test for EA and Crytek since we can see how everything works under real life conditions. This internal test is not directly related to the rest of the Beta. Therefore we did not plan to official announce it.

People are already selling beta keys. Who in their right mind would pay for one.
