Ubisoft and NVIDIA today announced the next chapter in their strategic partnership bringing amazing PC gaming experiences to life in Ubisoft's highly anticipated upcoming titles including Assassin's Creed Unity, Far Cry 4, The Crew and Tom Clancy's The Division.
NVIDIA's GameWorks Team is working closely with Ubisoft's development studios to incorporate cutting edge graphics technology and gaming innovations to create game worlds that deliver unprecedented realism and immersion. NVIDIA's GameWorks technology includes TXAA antialiasing, which provides Hollywood-levels of smooth animation, soft shadows, HBAO+ (horizon-based ambient occlusion), advanced DX11 tessellation, and NVIDIA PhysX technology.

Sad how NVIDIA tries to monopolize the market. This will end bad for AMD and the users of both because nvidia doesn't need to improve their tech anymore.

For starters, how does TXAA improve animations?
This would be much more exciting news as well if anyone could play watch dogs on ultra settings.
At least Assassin's Creed 4 was a very smooth experience, so I'm still curious. And I'm not even an Nvidia user.

Why wouldnt they be able to play at ultra? I saw people complaining but never understood why they can't even with beefy setups. With my rig i can play comfortably at 40 fps avg with everything max except textures on high and AA at 2x TXAA.
Is there some sort of bug when u enable ultra textures or what?If i enable them its alot of stuttering but thats because of my 2gb vram..or is there something else behind it?
