When adding DirectX® 10.1 to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, GSC implemented and number of features and optimizations which are described below.

• High quality MSAA on alpha-tested objects
• New ultra quality level for sun shadows
• New min/max shadow map rendering technique for high quality sun shafts

High quality MSAA on alpha-tested objects

DirectX 10 One can see pretty wide seams around the silhouettes of leaves that jitter slightly when the camera moves	DirectX 10.1 Using a shader that sets the proper sample mask in the shader; the silhouette edges are properly anti-aliased; there is no wide seam and no screen door pattern that can introduce jitter

New ultra quality level for sun shadows

DirectX 10 Shadows have relatively hard edges, resulting in slightly flickering shadow borders withen players moves through the level	DirectX 10.1 New shadow mode that usea a bigger filter footprint for more natural and smoother shadows that don't flicker when the camera moves

New min/max shadow map rendering technique for high quality sun shafts

DirectX 10 Quality of shadows are not high enough, the edges of the shadows look normal.	DirectX 10.1 The edges of the shadows cast by the sun become considerably smoother when minmax shadow maps are used.
