Will Direct X 8.0 help AC any?

Question Title: Will Direct X 8.0 help AC any?
Category: Graphics
Question: Direct X 8.0 is on the cusp of being released, being that 99% of the time if I am playing a game, it is AC, would it be worth my time to download?

Answer: DirectX8 should make no difference to AC, because AC uses the DirectX6.1 API (which is also contained in DX7 and DX8). Personally, I'd wait until you purchase a game that requires DirectX8, since it will probrobly include it on the CD and save you the download..
