this is a good indication that crytek has finally optimized their engine and is no longer a bloat of all demons, it can be run on normal systems without looking too bad. This indication is also good enough for me to want to invest and buy the game... as I am sure the full retail version will come with dx10 -11 native, as well as extra eye_candy.

I will take my hat off to engine optimization any given time, and we also know what this engine can do from the demos released last year. this should be a good game
