Are there any videos/pictures which show the difference in graphic quality?

I can't find any, besides the 4 in the link.

I believe this is where all the 5870/5850 buyers will start saying "i don't see any difference in graphic quality" :banghead:

and the gtx465,gtx470, 480 ect ect ect buyers start to smile. :yahoo:

I would love to see some benchmarks of all these cards with the tessalation patch applied.

There's a file called "Benchmark.bat" in the /bin32/ folder. What a lot of people have been doing is running Fraps and using its built in benchmark option and seeing what their performance was in the .txt file afterwards.

Or, you could try this.

I somehow doubt that, Happy. Do you honestly think that there will be that much of a difference to render those 5870/5850 owners to commit GPU suicide over a little tesselation. (hh)

We shall see when the benchmarks start comming out.
I hope Nvidia gets its 2 million worth in tessalation performance.

Does it really improve the graphics that much? How big are the downloads (total GB)?
