Ubisoft comments on Assassin's Creed DX10.1 controversy
We have been following a brewing controversy over the PC version of Assassin's Creed and its support for AMD Radeon graphics cards with DirectX 10.1 for some time now. 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%. Vista SP1, of course, adds support for DirectX version 10.1, among other things. Rage3D's Alex Voicu also demonstrated some instances of higher quality antialiasing—some edges were touched that otherwise would not be—with DX10.1. 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.

Just one more reason why an nVidia card will never reside in any system that I own.
They pulled the same BS when DX 9 first arrived. Their DX9 card was broken from the get go, and lots of $$ changed hands to keep a number of developers from implementing DX9 until Nvidia could get their shit together. You can damned sure bet that when nVidia gets gets a working 10.1 card that the 'issue' with the game will magically get fixed. nVidia has a long history of shady shit like this, and they are second only to Intel for that. Damned bunch of weasels.
