: The update enabled more efficient real-time global illumination through the use of indexable cube map arrays , allowing light to interact more realistically with 3D environments in a single rendering pass.
NVIDIA controlled ~65% of the discrete GPU market at the time. Developers couldn’t afford to ship a game that ran poorly on GeForce cards. DX10.1 became an "optional extra" that almost no one implemented.
: It required hardware to support 4x Multi-Sample Anti-Aliasing (MSAA) as a minimum, leading to smoother edges in games without unpredictable performance hits.
