So, looks like Barts can be used on the same boards as Cypress.

So that's their excuse for having poor tessellation, looks like it's carried on through to the 6*** series. Where there is a decent level of tessellation it performs at previous generation level, hardly any tessellation it performs better than previous gen, that's progress for you....

Does the new AA not look way to blurry...

I don't really see how you can say it's poor, at Tessellation factors up to 10 you're getting double the performance of the 5870 and considering this is Tessellation factor 9 how much smaller do you want the polygons to be?

Sure Fermi might be faster at really extreme levels of Tessellation, but it won't actually make a difference to model quality.

Looks like they fixed the AF too.

lol nda required ^^ yea af is much better then nvidas are

At the moment Nvidias AF is better quality and doesn't have shimmer issues, judging by that slide AMD might have fixed the problem now too.

I really don't know why people talk about Nvidia with better AF, literally, its marginally better, in game, I really can't tell the difference between the teeny tiny lines way in the distance. AS for shimmering, you fairly frequently talk about seeing shimmering, and its ALWAYS from the Nvidia camp. They've had issues with shimmering effects for years, and years.

Because there is shimmering and it's very annoying/distracting when you know it's there.
