In the end, IT'S JUST DX10.1. The only difference is AMD is fully supporting DX10.1 and NVidia is at least partially supporting DX10.1 via unofficial extension to DX10. |
Read this Vincent Greco: "The Ubisoft team wanted to enhance the Anti-Aliasing through the reading of the multisampled depth Z-buffers. This feature was enabled by either using DX10.1 or using a DX10.0 extension supported by NVIDIA DirectX 10 GPU's. Since NVIDIA supports this in their hardware, we were pleased to be able to accelerate this feature. In the case of Far Cry 2, either option will work with similar performance.”
