Far Cry 2 will be unveiled today. Now, we’ve learned that Far Cry 2 would be a DX10.1 game. As we know that only AMD graphics card supports the DX10.1.

Now, according to the statement of NVIDIA China: the DX10.1 features in Far Cry 2 will also supported by Geforce cards.

First, the DX10.1 features are reading in Multi sampled Depth Z-buffer to lead the better performance of Anti Aliasing. Then, it needs the accelerated of hardware, GeForce support it as well as the ATI Radeon.

Second, the function needs a software to control. AMD and NVIDIA are in different way: ATI Radeon utilizes DX10.1 API, but NVIDIA cards can accomplish exactly the same effect within DX10.

Anyway, the Far Cry 2 will be unveiled soon, so we can taste quickly.

Interesting...

But is there really a noticeable difference. I'm running XP so it doesn't matter, but I feel DX10 is overrated anyway. I guess the performance boost of 10.1 for anti-aliasing is nice.
