AMD Radeon HD 6850 und HD 6870 Test (18/21)

Tessellation Performance

Next Generation Grafikqualität

Auf das Thema Tessellation sind wir ja bereits im GTX 480 Review eingegangen, weil dies als "Killer Feature" des GF100 angepriesen wurde. Tatsächlich ist die Leistung des GF100 in diesem Bereich beachtlich. Bisher sind aber nur sehr wenig Game-Titel verfügbar die Tessellation wirklich richtig nutzen. Wir werden diese wohl erst in der nächsten oder gar übernächsten Games Generation erleben.

Um die Tessellation Leistung zu bewerten eigenen sich am besten die beiden 3D Engines aus der Heaven Demo und der Stone Giant Demo. Diese beiden Demos setzen massiv Tessellation ein - laut AMD sogar zu massiv - und zeigen somit recht gut wie hoch die Tessellation Leistung einer Grafikkarte ist. Mit der Praxis hat dies derzeit wie gesagte aber wenig zu tun, da kein aktuelles Game überhaupt dermaßen exzessiv Tessellation Elemente eingebaut hat.

Ein kurzer Blick auf die Performance zeigt schon, das die Radeon HD 6000 Modelle in der Tessellation Leistung deutlich gegenüber der HD 5000 Reihe gesteigert wurden  und bessere Werte liefern. Insbesondere die Radeon HD 6870 macht hier eine sehr gute Figur und schlägt sogar die Radeon HD 5870.
