As you already know, one will need a DX11 capable graphics card in addition to the insane system requirements to be able to run Crysis 3. Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli said that the Crysis 3 is planned to be DX11 only, destroying the hopes of people running DX10 video cards who had previously expected Crysis 3 to run on a DX11 renderer but still support DX10 just like Crysis 2. You'll need a DirectX 11 GPU in order to play Crysis 3 on the PC. Comments (129) Will your rig run Crysis 3 when it launches in February? If it's packed with a dual-core CPU and 2 GB of memory.

- Rename file Crysis 3system.cfg to Crysis3system.cfg_BACK
- Copy folder Crysis 2bin32 to crysis3bin32
- Copy file Crysis 2system.cfg to crysis3system.cfg

- Now Rename Crysis3C3 to Crysis3gamecrysis2
- Rename Crysis3gamecrysis2_FastLoadstartup.pak to startup.pak_BACK
- Copy/Move Crysis2gamecrysis2_FastLoadstartup.pak to Crysis3gamecrysis2_FastLoadstartup.pak

Working at 'Hard' scheme
Now We Needed a PAK Manager (Pak Manager Tool) from CryTek official website, comes with Crysis 2 Mod SDK for Extract Encrypted *.PAK Files of Crysis 2 and Crysis 3.
Crysis 3 DX9 Project
After many experiments with parameters and Game Execuatable, we founded some interesting parameters, like sys_spec (0-6). First Five values from 0 to 4 is able to config Crysis3 for PC, another 5 and 6 values configures CryEngine3 for XboX360 and PlayStation (in order to read). But Some Graphic Bugs Detected Immediately. Show Video and Screens Below!

DX11 Hook/Hack
After some Things about making 'hybrid' mod, we found nice old Application called '3D Analyze'. This Software Can Control Older 3D Appliactions to Emulate Shaders, Textures and many other DirectX Tweaks. We Send VIA Mail to Author of 3D Analyze. We Want Make DXGI Hack Directly (.dll file) or 'On Fly' (in Memory API Calls Control). This Way is the best choice of this Problem.
In Case With Analyzing The Game Execuatable we making Now a 'right' d3d11.dll, to replace some functions calls and its returning data.
Preparing to Hack and Few Things
DirectX 11. Alternative Library - concept
After Inspecting a Game Execuatable for DirectX Calls I Found Few Calls Named D3D11CreateDevice and D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain. Then i Compared This Functions with previous versions (DX10, MSDN).
Declaration of D3D11CreateDevice. | Declaration of D3D10CreateDevice. |
Declaration of D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain. | Declaration of D3D10CreateDeviceAndSwapChain. |
This Lines You Can Found on MSDN WebSite. The Function D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain called Two Times before Game Launching. Looks Like, This is what I need. I Writed in VS 2010 Dynamic Link Library, called the same name 'd3d11.dll' and placed it to crysis3.exe folder (bin32). This Library Hooking All Functions Calls from Crysis3.exe to and Writing Some Data to Log Files. I Think The Hack Comes in Few Days!
The Screen Below, it shows no differents with DX9 and DX11 (Dragon Age 2), DX it is just API Interface for Driver, Driver Converting These Calls and Sending Instructions to GPU. The DirectX API Features it is only advanced effects on DX9, DX10/DX11 - Just Marketing to Selling Windows Vista and above Versions by Microsoft. If You Have Documentation for Any GPU, for example GeForce 6600, you may make the Alternative Driver, that knows how to Render DX11 Effects on 6600 GPU other any Graphics Cheap!
