A few days ago we
reported about a demo that shows the special DirectX 10 effects the R600 will support. Now I came across a forums entry at
Beyond 3D which says this demo would look like Call of Juarez, a Western-themed first-person shooter from the Polish game developer
Techland. Just out of pure curiosity I looked for some reference material and it turns out to be a correct statement. Just look at the attached screenshots from
IGN PC the wooden hut in Fudzillas shot (first picture) looks exactly like the one in the IGN PC shot (second picture). The fence in the tech demo looks exactly like the fence in the other IGN PC screeny. Though the lighting and the details on the stones in front and the steep hill on the far side look different because these are the enhancements made in order to show the beef-up using the DX10 routines. After all, if this is a tech demo it's made of content out of Call of Juarez.

World's first declared DX10 game...
Something as old as a 6600GT will run it, at 800x600 with everything on low. It would probably look worse than far cry, however.
