On Unigine's tessellation-heavy "Heaven" benchmark, we can see evidence of Fermi's tessellation-bias design flexing its muscles. With tessellation enabled, the GeForce GTX 470 could comfortably stand up against both Radeon 5800 series cards up until 8x anti-aliasing was enabled. However, once we turn tessellation off and ran the benchmarks using DirectX 10 API, the GeForce GTX 470 found itself on the back foot, matched by the Radeon HD 5850 and effortlessly outpaced by the Radeon HD 5870.
