To be honest, I don't think that graphics are that important for DNF.
I've seen some new artworks and screenshots from Deus Ex 3 today, and they look visually stunning because of their art direction. As far as I know DX3 will be powered by the modified Tomb Raider Legends engine. It's not mindblowing technical-wise, but the overall visual design is what makes it beautiful for me.

The same goes for DNF I think. As long as the overall package looks harmonious, I'm sold. Of course better tech is always welcome - everyone would probably say yes to a state-of-the-art engine if they would be able to choose, but I'd be ok with what we (hopefully soon) get. It's what the designers make out of their tech's limitations.

On topic: I'd say what we've seen so far looks like 2007-2008, but we don't know in which state the game currently is, so it's just wild speculations. For example, I think that the D-Day pic looks like if it's been shot with updated graphics than the leaked shots from May '09. Only the Depth-of-field effect is a turn-off imo...
