I mean there's no way to really tell based off of the demo...it seems to totally own the best rigs we have around the community.

When Alan Wake was demoed over a year ago (at E3..?) it was running a C2Q @ 3.73GHz along with what could only have been an engineering sample of the 8800 before anyone even knew what the hell that was.
so you can bet your nuggets that any Crysis video demo is:
1) running on next generation hardware, certainly a workstation solution that typically have more than 1GB of graphics memory (yes, they exist, and no, you probably can't buy one)
2)is a custom made movie that is rendered as fast as the machine can make it, then assembled frame by frame into a prerendered movie (like they made Final Fantasy. it doesnt matter it took 14 months to render it, it still plays in 2 hours)
