Many of the DX11 titles currently available were developed using ATi hardware and capabilities since nVidia was just a little late to the party. In upcoming games you'll be sure to see much higher levels of tessellation available in game settings which Fermi cards can utilize to greatly enhance image quality while keeping playable frame rates.

Yes... I know it's not a game, but nobody can deny how powerful Fermi is when it comes to levels of tessellation much higher than currently used in retail games.




As a current owner of a GTX285 and former owner of HD4870, I'm definitely going to wait for both companies to refresh their current cards. nV definitely needs to work out its heat and power issues through a refinement of TSMC's process... and I'm sure a more mature .40nm process would be of benefit to ATi and allow for less heat and higher clocks.
