Any chance of MIP mapping support?

Question Title: Any chance of MIP mapping support?
Category: Graphics
Question: I wouldn't expect something like this in a monthly update, but with the expansion pack coming, is there any possibility that the graphics engine will be upgraded to include support for MIP mapping? I have no idea how difficult it would be to add to AC, but it would make a bigger difference in the game's visuals than just about anything else I can think of. I find that the most distracting thing in most areas is annoying texture shimmering, so I think MIP mapping support would be an enormous improvement.

Answer: Many modern video card drivers will generate and use MIP maps automatically if the option is checked in the driver. This will get rid of most of any texture shimmering you might be experiencing..
