tesslation in metro is minor yet it drops fps like crazy
dx11 mainly is tesslation depth of field and sixy shadows
all of which kill your fps
but look at heaven benchmark 2.1 on youtube maxed out then just imagine that+crysis visuals
its what the gaming world is waiting for




What card do u have? THe new HD 6900 series has better A LOT faster tesselation than 5000 series and I dont even notice any FPS drop when I turn it on (and IM sure its working because I see changes on characters when im turning it off/on)

ofc ur right depth of field eats all of ur fps but I dont even see the difference between dx10 DOF and dx11 DOF in metro . By the time theyll use it like in 3dmark11 we will have HD7000 -8000 series . Also when enabling dx11 shadows in bad company 2 or dirt 2 I also didnt notice any big fps drop.... dunno what ur talking about.

i have crappy 5870s
dx10 dont got dof
the dx11 shadows arent the things that kill fps just lower it slightly
3dmark11 is already out and even 4 580s cant avrg over 50fps

I'll sell my Gtx 275 and get a GTX 560 when Crysis 2 comes out and $279 is ok considering it's supposed to match the 6950 ($300-$350) on performance and Nvidia cars supposedly handle tessellation better than Ati cards
