How much of a difference does it make?

Hey guys, i've been seeing a lot lately about how Nvidia are abusing tessellation and things like it to give their cards the edge over ATI, but how much does it actually affect performance? Are we talking 1 or 2 FPS difference or more like a solid drop of ~10 when playing an Nvidia optimized game on an ATI card?

A £200 6950 seems ideal price : performance wise for me right now but I don't want to end up suffering because games i'm interested in (Namely BF3) are riddled with tessellation abuse and whatever, so is it worth splashing an extra £50 on a 570 or will it likely be not be noticeable?

Thanks :)
 
Well thanks but perhaps I wasn't clear enough of my question :p I'm more looking for how much a game being optimized for Nvidia will affect ATI cards, not what a GTX570 can run.
