DirectX 11 Benchmark "Heaven"

I am intrigued by this whole tessellation stuff, as it's basically procedurally generated polygons, but the gpu must still have to render the polygons so there should still be the same performance hit of adding the polygons manually.

I probably need to read up more on how it works and why it's more beneficial to add detail to a model this way.

My guess is because the graphics card has a tessellation unit on it which does the tessellation effectivley independant of the rest of the GPU, so it doesn't slow down the rendering of the scene.

I could be wrong though.

Thread needs more tessellation shots, this feature really steals the show. I've seen some on/off screens and it really is quite a Big deal.

i'm not that clued up either, but I imagine that there is an LOD benefit. As you approach an object it can smoothly up the pollys in their thousands.

Crap resolution - sorry about that, getting a new monitor soon just couldnt stretch to a new rig and monitor at same time!

Everything turned on (incl tessellation) - stock no OC

Resolution dont really make it a fair comparison though....
