I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this, but apparently Nvidia put up a Unigine demo on their youtube account. From Firing Squad
Most interesting in here to me is the benchmark of the 5870 vs the Gtx 480 at about 3:01. During normal segments of the demo they perform very closely. However, when tessellation kicks in, Nvidia seems to have a pretty big advantage. That's basically what was suggested by their whitepapers a few months ago, but it's neat nonetheless.
Anyways, I'm quite interested in that the tessellation performance looks as good as it does. I personally feel that will eventually be as big of a shift as normal mapping was.
Anyways, thoughts?
