It's no differentthan 3DMark which also uses the most extreme settings to bring the framerate into single digits.
What this shows is how current cards will handle games in the future.

which is equally pointless, imo
I'm still not convinced about this really. there's nothing to suggest that the currect performance differential between the two groups of cards showing in hawx is what we are going to see from future games, especially if there is an argument that hawx is using totally over the top levels of tessellation. we just dont know at this point.
lol

Besides Shattered Horizon 3D mark is no indication of gaming performance.
Also this is not like 3dmark because its a bench unto itself, where Hawx2 is not & should not be trying to push hardware unnecessarily for the sake of it with no noticeable gains.
It's about using so much hat it's gone way beyond what's necessary for best image quality. Currently, the only thing nVidia really have going for them is better tessellation performance., it makes sense that they want to exaggerate this by getting people to benchmark stuff with extreme levels of tessellation that isn't necessary. As I keep saying, the moment you stop noticing a difference in levels of tessellation, it's pointless continuing to turn it up. It's a waste of performance, but nVidia clearly don't agree with this as unnecessary levels of tessellation give the impression that their cards are vastly superior.
As for what AMD said, it seems that they're just trying to get a method working that doesn't use unnecessary power while maintaining image quality, they claimed it'd benefit all GPUs after all.
That would come under efficiency & NV don't do efficiency, its all brute force big & bloated is what they like.
to be fair to raven he does post some constructive stuff, and he does help a lot of people out on here including myself many times.
the end of the day, he is allowed to have his views and he is allowed to change his views, i think without raven and his antics on this forum it would be a pretty normal place.
like von stated its getting a tad out of hand, quit givin raven stick guys, a bit of banter is cool but lets not get out of hand here
