Nvidia is focusing on improving current tech, while ATI is forging ahead, quickly implementing new tech. Thing is, if Nvidia would do hardware-tessellation too, it could become a standard technique. ATI has been putting tessellators in their GPUs from the R600, giving them a head start in this field.
Gonna be interesting to see what the future holds. If Nvidia keeps ignoring this feature of DX11 and game devs start using it, ATI could take the leed and keep it untill Nvidia makes hardware-tessellation capable GPU.
I'm sure they will conjure up some solution before this happens though. Simulating it seems viable given the sheer horsepower available on both todays GPUs and CPUs.  |
Try not till Spring. And since their 520's are so complex, NVidia is taking a loss on each on right now that they sell. There is a good chance of a buyout or bankruptcy for them at the moment.
And they aren't focusing on current tech. They are focusing on a worthless feature called CUDA that no one wants.
