Crytek: Current gen will last until 2012

[RaZz!]

the 360 gpu is a modded r580 and ati has had tessellation is almost every gpu since the x1800 and it might not be viable for cross platform or performance to be used in large scale. and im not 100% sure but dosnt tessellation use alot more memory than rasterization and the 360 has 512MB or ram and 10MB of gpu only ram

ati-hardware features some sort of tesselation since the radeon 8500. back then the feature was called truform.

unfortunately, ati has been very weak at establishing new standards respectiverly technologies ever since, so truform was never really used. they advertised it heavily, but they failed to convince game developers of using it. in this regard, nvidia is doing a way better job - they know how to establish a new technology, even though it might be crap. but they sell it as a godly new feature. i really think ati had to abandon a lot of good features in the past just because they suck at marketing.
