Now up here in the UK on Steam, and no mention of it requiring a Uplay account, which i guess is wrong.

EDIT: ahh, its not mentioned in the System Requirements, its on the right, 3rd party DRM Uplay.

This is one of the reasons why I switched to NVidia when the 680 launched.. I used ATi/AMD for years because I never wanted to spend the extra money for NVidia. I was a cheap ass and I still kind of am, using a AMD CPU.. Anyways, I got tired of missing out on NVidia only features. In gaming, there are things AMD/ATi cannot do that NVidia can. However NVidia can do everything a AMD/ATi card can. Now with prices so close these days I cannot understand why people still buy AMD. AMD are not the budget company they used to be. Since I have switched to NVidia I haven't missed out on a damn thing. The choice is very very easy.

So they are using HBAO+ and TXAA.... that is it?

No PhysX?

TXAA at first I was really excited about then I saw it in motion and that blurring effect it give is just horrid.

Also HBAO+ runs beautifully on AMD cards anyway. Not to worried about this being littered with Nvidia tech and running like crap on AMD.

You do realize once the game is activated on uPlay steam is not needed.

Doesn't work that way for me. I can't launch Steam bought Ubisoft games through Uplay alone without Uplay telling me it needs Steam and proceeds to launch it. You can't launch the game without both accounts turned on. AC4, Splinter Cell Conviction, and other games do this.
