Ubisoft and NVIDIA Partner Up for Assassin's Creed Unity Far Cry 4 And More
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.
"Working with NVIDIA has enabled us to bring an enhanced gameplay experience to our PC players," said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing, Ubisoft. "We look forward to continuing our partnership with NVIDIA on our biggest upcoming titles."
This announcement builds on the successful collaboration between Ubisoft and NVIDIA that added visually stunning effects to Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist, Assassins Creed IV Black Flag and Watch Dogs.
"We're excited to continue our long-term partnership with Ubisoft in bringing our latest PC technology to their games", said Tony Tamasi, senior vice president of Content & Technology at NVIDIA. "Through GameWorks, we have been able to add unique visual and gameplay innovations to deliver amazing experiences for these stellar Ubisoft games, I can't wait to play them myself."

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?

Its just Ubisoft, their games have always a big hype, but their games also get so fast boring.
Sometimes they even have games with potential, you can play it if you are able to login into uplay, but this games they destroy with ingame shops and a crazy mount of money.
Just dont buy Ubisoft Games, this Company must end like THQ.

Yep, amd is not innocent as people want to believe, it just nvidia is marketing and all regrading that areas is way better than AMD.

They'll run like crap again. Nvidia should stop bothering with Ubisoft.

I think they mean the temporal aliasing or in-motion aliasing of objects which TXAA helps with although at the cost of a bit of screen blur like FXAA, SMAA and so on.
(Unsure how it compares to Temporal SMAA in say Watch_Dogs but I guess it's better although perhaps at a higher performance cost even at 2x.)

I still don't get why people are so convinced that nVidia needs to compete this way when their tech is superior.

It does add blurriness to the scene yes, but i like the puffy look,it look's more "cinematic".I know alot of people dont like it but i prefer it to anyother type of AA. I'd use it over MSAA even if a had a 780. After i get used to it i try switching back to SMAA/Temporal SMAA or FXAA but i just can't play like that anymore(altough the performance is better of course with those).

This would be much more exciting news as well if anyone could play watch dogs on ultra settings.Watch_Dogs runs fine with ultra settings and 4xMSAA+4x Sparse Grid Supersampling forced on my desktop. I guess I do have enough video memory to accomplish that, though.
My Laptop with 2x Radeon HD 7970M 2GB runs the game fine on High.
