You've an out-of-date gfx card. I think Far Cry needs a gfx card that can handle atleast dx 8.1 effects

well, yes you may be running 9.0b on your card, but that does not mean your card supports it. what Cycrac was trying to tell you is that the game requires certain graphical technology to run that your card simply does not have, thus, your game will not run.
