XFX AMD Radeon HD 7970 Black Edition im Test (12/14)

Tessellation Performance

Next Generation Grafikqualität

Auf das Thema Tessellation sind bereits im GTX 480 Review eingegangen. Tessellation ist das "Killer Feature" der neuen Direkt X11 Generation und und findet nun auch auch mehr und mehr  in der Praxis Anwendung. Die Leistung des GF100/GF110/GF114 in diesem Bereich ist beachtlich und AMD hatte bisher das nachsehen. Mit der neuen Radeon HD 7970 hat aber AMD die Tessellation Leistung ordentlich aufgebohrt, was sich an den Benchmarks sehr gut ablesen lässt. Insbesondere beim Heaven Benchmark ist die Radeon HD 7970 jetzt der Performance-King.

Um die Tessellation Leistung zu bewerten, eigenen sich am besten die beiden 3D Engines aus der Heaven Demo und der Stone Giant Demo sowie der 3DMark 2011. Alle setzen recht starke Tessellation ein und zeigen somit gut wie hoch die Tessellation Leistung einer Grafikkarte ist. Tessellation ist vom Level her anpassbar und kann auf langsameren Karten auch zurück geschraubt werden. Wir messen hier etwas extreme Settings um die Performanceunterschiede der Grafikkarten deutlicher zu machen.
