Hardware Tesselation in Maya using FirePro card - SIGGRAPH 2009

I REALLY don't understand why DX11 did not explode in fame. It seems to be such a breakthrough!

@StasAnanas because most of teh actual gpus cant deal with all features of DX11 perfectly. Tesselation and all new lighting capabilities requires a lot of gpu performance that actuals gpu cant have. I mean, of course, gpus actually can deal with nice games using teh latest graphics, but when they are all used together they requires a lot of gpu and tesselation is one of those characteristics. Same happen few years ago when enabling DX10 effect make games slow as hell.

It is already used in games. Metro 2033 for example uses tessalation.
