Gears of War: E-Day is first game with Advanced Shader Delivery on PC

Gears of War: E-Day is the first game to support Advanced Shader Delivery on Windows, pre-delivering shader files so compilation takes seconds instead of minutes. The feature works on AMD GPUs now, with Nvidia drivers arriving shortly after launch.

• ASD cuts shader compilation to about 20 seconds from up to 15 minutes
• Works across AMD, Intel, Nvidia and Qualcomm hardware
• Available now on AMD GPUs; Nvidia support comes after launch
