The video was most certainly done using the DirectX 10 path, most likely a 8800GTX or similar card. With that said, I would say the physics should still be there on lesser rigs (though I expect the game to heavily favor multi core systems). The main benefit of the DirectX 10 path will be enhanced graphics with better performance, DirectX 10 is much more efficient when compared to previous versions of DirectX, it sheds a lot of the crap and will allow developers to push graphics features without losing much on performance if the same features were done with DirectX 9.

I am most looking forward to the settings of Crysis personally. So far we've seen the huge island concept again but also an ice world once you enter the "sphere" that is continually shown. While there's been a small amount of footage inside said sphere, its not a lot when compared to outside the sphere. Plus the nuke blast there seems to hint at possibly another settings as well to go along with those two. I would not be surprised there's some off the wall stuff in Crysis, as they've shown a lot but I don't think they have given the game away.
