Assassins Creed DX10.1

Yeah, sorry. I meant the lighting with the scrolls.

 

yes, there is some difference on the scrolls , but the video options were all set to max , so i think that just a game code path problem or a AMD driver problem.

 

Small followup WRT this, and perhaps more accessible to everyone than disassembling the exe(based on AndyTX's suggestion-cheers for that):I've ran the game through MS PIX, logging all D3D calls for frame no 1. This is event 13:

13 D3D10CreateDeviceAndSwapChain1(0x117EDD88, D3D10_DRIVER_TYPE_HARDWARE, NULL, 1, D3D10_FEATURE_LEVEL_10_1, 32, 0x104BE4BC, 0x104BE4B8 --> 0x117EF790, 0x06C5FE58 --> 0x117EE2A8) 4200533

the following 5 are subevents of 13

14 CreateObject(D3D10 Device, 0x117EE2A8) 2106037219
15 CreateObject(DXGI Device, 0x117EF718) 2106051746
16 CreateObject(DXGI Swap Chain, 0x117EF790) 2106062083
17 CreateObject(DXGI Surface, 0x117EF840) 2106068508
18 CreateObject(D3D10 Texture2D, 0x117EF8B8) 2106078007

Working on getting the byte code shaders back into HLSL.

 

Then I saw this this...

Costly ? What does he mean here... DX10.1 skips a render pass -> IQ impact -> more fps ?

Anyways, tonight I could enjoy this game at least, except that sometimes it really "hangs" for 10-15 seconds. You think your PC has crashed, but after the freeze it just continues as nothing happened. Nice feature

WARNING: don't try to access the UBI forums using Firefox 3 Beta 5... instant crash

 

Where does he say IQ impact?There is none IRL, asides from improved AA quality when using 10.1.

 

Just curious why they need to remove it??? If that made the gamer run and enjoy their game more smoother than without DX10.1

Probably it isn't the way it ment to be played ....

 

i had check the 8.490, but the performance is almost same to the 8.4 whql :

btw, the 8.490 driver does not support 1680x10502, so the screenshot was taken on 1600x1200.

 

Those don't have a CF profile either. You need to rename the exe.

 

I take it, that with D3D10.1 there's no need to do a separate pass for some post-processing stuff and it can be fitted into "the main pass" (read: some other rendering-pass). So you'd save on bandwidth and get better shader utilization.

But as to why they want to remove it with a patch is beyond me - AFAIK they're not even in TWIMTBP...

 

AC is a TWIMTBP game: http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_assassinscreed_home.html

Is Adaptive AA on?

 

Strange - there's no sticker on the box anywhere. I just checked yesterday. But then, that could explain a lot.

 

I knew that but I just ment by DX10.1 is not the way it ment to be played on AC, not the game itself

 

No tests with a single card yet? I wonder why....

DX10.1 hysteria. What a joke.

 

Ever imagined these might take time?It's not like you snap your fingers and voila, cards are at the doorstep, and tests are done. Oh, wait, you're a reviewer and have done this a lot of times. Just like you explained to us that there was no 10.1 support...oh, wait, there is.Sigh.

 

Very fishy, EXTREMELY fishy sounding.

 

Sorry for making it sounds rather fishy.... but I couldn't help feeling about it.

Also, I didn't mean by the TWIMTBP programme of the NV too

Apologise to make all you smell fish

 

No, no; it's ok to point out the odor when it's there.

 

Thanks!
Very nice read!
Great job writing the article Morgoth the Dark Enemy!

 

So wait they are going to remove the DX 10.1 code in the game via a patch...so that Nvidia cards dont cause crashes etc etc? Am I understanding that correctly?

Also loekf I had a freeze in my game...so you are saying to wait for 10-15 seconds before hitting the reset button eh? I will try it out next time. I just finished the 1st level as in now I am in the city for the first time and i am going to meet my elder...I just cant believe how good the game looks! Steady 44 fps throughout...
