This is indeed true. nVidia did a very good job on their dynamic tessellation configuration.
So I thought it would be interesting to run Furmark and Tessmark at the same time to see what the result would be.
Tessmark result with both tessmark and furmark running in a window
Tessmark runs on top of furmark
So my scores drop from 150 tessmarks running in a window to 51 with furmark running in the background.
Settings used in Tessmark and Furmark :
So it would be interesting to see what kind of performance GTX460/470/480 owners would get running furmark and tessmark.

About Fermi only being great at tessellation when it has nothing else to do.

I see ONE person with custom drivers based off 10.7 running a benchmark which itself reports innoperable with most AMD high end configurations due to bugs and crashes. Also one claim that a 5770 is doing better than a 5870 for the same reasons above.
I would wait for the problems to be ironed out before giving a overall opinion about this benchmark. So far all I can say is nice for having xp support, but kinda pointless if it only works as intended on nvidia so far.

Most likely problem is ATI/AMD's inability to write good OpenGL drivers , looking back in history they always sucked in that area.
And considering we don't have alot of new if any games in OpenGL , ATI might be keeping it a low low priority.

here's some 5970 results for you folks, all in 2560x1600 because I have a big screen:
Also, some details about my setup... Everything is watercooled, running 10.10 catalysts, did a fresh re-install of win7 64bits 2 days ago, the 5970 is slightly overclocked 775/1075, it goes higher but I don't really care, the cpu is at 4.6ghz for 24/7 use but can boot upwards of 4.8 so I just need some phase change. I'm running a double monitor setup (2560x1600, 1920x1200) so perhaps this influences the benchmark results a bit.
Moderate, no AA
Normal, no AA
Normal, 4x MSAA
Normal, 8x MSAA
Extreme, no AA
Insane, no AA

Anyone got 6870 runs to compare to the 5870's? Dont know if tessmark will take advantage of the new method that 6870's have, but worth a try.
All along the watchtower the watchmen watch the eternal return.
Everything at stock.

Normal:
Extreme:
Insane:
*the links picasa was wanting me to use weren't working right let me know if you can see these.
Edit: Just realized in my pics the memory was at 900 where the actual stock value is 1050, forgot i dropped that down i guess, the benchmark numbers the same on insane, +17 for extreme, +120 or so for Normal, +1040ish for Moderate.
