Trust me, nothing was messed with the benchmark on my system and judging from my results, nothing was "optimized" on theirs either.....
cool, thx for spending so much time on this man! appreciated
The cart you see below Unigine engine benchmark 60 seconds is taken from the walkway section of Heaven benchmark that has the most tessellation.
so best case scenario in a tesselation benchmark, which to some degree already is a best case scenario, fermi is 50% faster than a 5870... hmmm so its slightly faster than a 5970 in heavy tesselation scenarios.

NVIDIA showed off one more bit of information about DX11 performance which was from a Microsoft DX11 geometry shader toolkit. The results you see below were taken during the rendering of two separate which ask the GPU to process up to six cubemap faces in one pass.
typo, theres a word missing after seperate
so was this a microsoft dx11 benchmark? or is it an nvidia benchmark based on microsofts toolkit?
