opengl eh... well two things:
1: Nobody uses OpenGL for the heaven bench
2: I'm pretty sure OpenGL does not support tessellation anyways... (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

these improvements are always good don't get me wrong but the newest Nvidia drivers have the same story for performance improvements (if not more) so it's hard to see this as something to make people consider AMD cards more over Nvidia considering both make driver gains...
