The boyz at UbiSoft have released the FarCry patch 1.1 whcih has some interesting features.


<font color=blue>
*mainly nV specific*
- Improved shader speed (up to two times faster) for NVidia Geforce FX cards on very high settings
- Fixed fog bug with NVidia drivers
- Added support for NVidia NV40 chipset

*mainly ATI specific*
- Fixed bug with lake reflections

and Interestingly...

<font color=red>- Added support fro PS3.0 shader profile</font color=red>

Nice to see what differences that offers.

I'll have to see what it will do to my TI4200.

I doubt it, heck they don't even use PS 2.0 now, so it will be interesting to see what this involves and whether or not it means that they will stop reverting to PS 1.1
