Enabling 'Very High' Setting in Crysis Demo..under XP!

I know some of you (maybe all of you gamers...) are fiddling around with Crysis demo at this time. What you're witnessing is how our system are being torn apart by the game..it's just ridiculous.

So, I've been wondering around graphics cards and games forums here and there, and I noticed a thread about a way to enable the 'Very High' setting in Crysis demo, for those running Windows XP (hence DX9 version of Crysis).

It is known the 'Very High' setting is only enable when you're running Vista, which allows you to get all DX10 goodies out of Crysis. However, when applying the trick (which by modifying some .cfg files in Crysis demo folder), it is very difficult to differentiate which shots are taken with 'tweaked' DX9 Crysis, and the one with DX10 Crysis. What really happened under the hood is still a mystery.

Or course, all this is achieved with a huge performance impact. However, those with high end graphics cards and CPUs reported having contented with 25-30 FPS average. LOL.

IMO, this is a must try to all XP runners running Crysis, and those who're still pimpin' their DX9.0c GPUs. If you're interested, head over to Crysis-Online forum.
