I can play it medium at 1280x1024 no probs on DX9. Just used the optimized options, haven't tried going for high settings, may be able to do it alright, but I enjoy smooth gameplay

I'm running it on high at 1920 x 1200 with the rig in my sig. Its fairly smooth for the most part, but not during intense fights. I really have not played the game that much though, I haven't had time. so once i play it more, I will likely either drop the detail level, or my resolution.

I have a Vista system but prefer DX9, as DX10 has some really awkward, game-stopping issues, such as;
1) water lags me, using the current beta nVidia drivers, which apparently fixed it, on an overclocked 8800GT, yet water on the same setting (all high) in DX9 runs flawlessly.
2) after about 10, 20 or 30 minutes of gameplay the system will literally grind to a halt, going from 40fps to 7fps in any zone. it only happens in Crysis from what I've seen (Been playing a bit of Hellgate: London in DX10, all high settings, which runs sweet, same for CoD4)
This is all at 1280x1024, ALL high (not "oh, PP is medium.." (19" ViewSonic VX922))
here are two runs of the GPU benchmark, with annoying results;
FPS average 35.. then hit an average of 39 on the third run?! then hit back to 35.. w-hat?!

I dont think anyone has really played this game yet at high settings. They say they have but it must be a slideshow. Im talking DX10 here and not DX9.
With my setup in sig which I think it fairly powerful these days in Vista I still cant really play with everything at high without some slideshow parts. I basically have put the game on hold becasuse theres really no hardware I can upgrade to get this game to play better, im just gonna hold on to the hope of patches that give us some performance improvement.

Hmmm, running the game at High under DX9 runs faster than it does under DX10, however, when I select V High, and use the DX9 config hack, DX10 actually runs about 8-10 fps faster.

The only reason to play on DX10 is if you have a $10k computer or want to play in those DX10 physics bound servers which EA has rigged up for the money hungry

you mean all two of the DX10 servers? haha, and even then theres like 4 players!
I can run DX10 in High perfectly fine.. for a total of 15minutes, THEN for whatever reason the game takes a huge nose dive and I go from 35FPS (or whatever, I haven't tracked it but I assume it's about -5FPS to DX9) to 5 to 7FPS for seemingly no reason. I have no other programs in the background running, not even MSN, yet it screws up, every, single, time. This only happens in Single Player though, which is even stranger.
On DX10 servers, which I admit ARE cool, I get a 15FPS drop just looking at water. This bug was apparently fixed in the latest nVidia drivers too :/
I hope the patch gets released soon.

Im really not impressed with the game. Its a pretty looking version of farcry with uber l337 powerZ and alienZ.
I really do not see the importance of this game. I was able to run the demo 1680 x 1050 high no problems with the sig system.

I run everything on Medium (with sig system) except a few select choices on High (textures, physics, etc...) at 1680x1050 and it's smooth enough for me up until I get to the part of the game where everything ices over. Then I have to bump everything back down to Medium to get acceptable smoothness.
I have found that I can only play the game for up to an hour at a time before I need to exit out of the game and get back in to keep performance up. I have the hardest time with the ICE section and the 2 "bosses" on the carrier with lag and 5-10 second game pauses at random times.

I am happy playing at 1024x768 medium settings for now with DX9. Maybe come taxtime I will upgrade but I'm not sure yet.

The game can have quite a bit of pop up on the lower detail settings, which can be solved by implementing a few cfg tweaks.
