The performance gains seen by players who are currently playing Assassin’s Creed with a DX10.1 graphics card are in large part due to the fact that our implementation removes a render pass during post-effect which is costly. In addition to addressing reported glitches, the patch will remove support for DX10.1, since we need to rework its implementation. The announcement included a rather cryptic explanation of why the DX10.1 code improved performance, but strangely, it also said Ubisoft would be stripping out DX10.1 in the upcoming patch.
Currently, only Radeon HD 3000-series GPUs are DX10.1-capable, and given AMD’s struggles of late, the positive news about DX10.1 support in a major game seemed like a much-needed ray of hope for the company and for Radeon owners.Īfter that article, things began to snowball, first with confirmation that Assassin’s Creed did indeed ship with DX10.1 support, and then with Ubisoft’s announcement about a forthcoming patch for the game. Rage3D’s Alex Voicu also demonstrated some instances of higher quality antialiasing-some edges were touched that otherwise would not be-with DX10.1. Vista SP1, of course, adds support for DirectX version 10.1, among other things. The folks at Rage3D first broke this story by noting some major performance gains in the game on a Radeon HD 3870 X2 with antialiasing enabled after Vista Service Pack 1 is installed-gains of up to 20%.
