What's wrong with your motherboard?
The Nforce2000 chip does not like XDMA bridgeless crossfire, so im getting the same board as you, p8z77 ws. Should be here tuesday.
What do you recon on the above, by the looks of it my 290X performs better when using tessellation than my Titan.
Even though the Titan is faster the % gap closes when tessellation is turned on.
Just worked out that with the Tessellation on extreme the Titan is 6.14% faster
With the Tessellation turned off the Titan is 9.23% faster
I'm not sure. I always thought it was to do with tessellation but maybe its not.
The point is the 290X has made a better job of handling the Tessellation than the Titan.![]()
Must be something else then i guess. I wonder how things stack up on the older version of Unigine? Maybe its something in this version that just favours GK. In games 290's handle tessellation fine though so i guess it should not come as a major surprise.
Seems Techreport beat me to it with TessMark. There isn't a great deal in it, but Nvidia cards are still the better at it with insane settings. Unigine engine seems to match your tests Kaap

Does beg the question what is holding the 290s back so much in Heaven
I have heard many times that AMD cards are bad at tessellation but this does not seem to be the case, for the Hawaii GPUs anyway.
But yes it does beg the question what is holding the 290s back in heaven.
Is there any truth that AMD cards are bad at Tessellation

Obviously.
Maybe not low levels of tessellation but certainly high levels, which is why NVidia adding excessive amounts of tessellation
Stock Titan @837/1502
3930k @4.7
With extreme tessellation
With tessellation disabled
Increase in FPS 39.39%
That's the whole point though, are they actually BAD.
