Far Cry 2 to have DirectX 10.1 support?

Posted on Saturday, October 18 2008 @ 0:11 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

Rumour site FUD Zilla claims Ubisoft has put DirectX 10.1 support in their upcoming FPS shooter Far Cry 2 and adds that ATI is working hard on a hotfix driver to significantly boost the performance of its Radeon HD 4870 X2 in this game:

ATI will shortly release a hotfix driver that should boost the performance of this game of Radeon HD 4870 X2 significantly and we our sources are confident that this driver should be enough to beat Geforce GTX 280 in this game.

The game should launch on Tuesday in North America and of Friday in Europe while some of the press already got their hands on this savanna shooter. DirectX 10.1 support in such a significant title is a great victory for ATI and we wonder if this implementation will give ATI some additional performance over Nvidia’s DirectX 10 supporting GT200 family.
