Definitely one of the most impressive tech demos of all time, the toy shop looks absolutely great and can even be used as one of your animated wallpaper. This tech demo is released for the ATI Radeon X1K series (2006), but captured using a ATI HD4770 512MB (2009) at 1280x720 4xAA, to bring out the beauty of the demo that cannot be seen by pre-HD Youtube videos.
For more information on the graphic techniques used, you might want to refer to the following PDF presentation on this tech demo.

@monev Tessellation is overrated. The performance hit is not worth it.

@kynancecove FOR INSTANCE I am NOT a great gamer as I just have one hand and I love the demos I JUST DO! I am about to fit my Radion HD4850 to replace my NVIDEA 8600GT and I am going to miss the FAR BETTER NVIDEA DEMOS

IMO by far the best ATI DEMO and honestly AMD's cards are great BUT their DEMOS cant match Nvidea's becauseI think the Nvideas show off the card capabilities more and the actual demos have a less cartoonish themes and LUNA/MERMAID/MAD MOD GUY OF THE BIG N STAND OUT FAR FAR MORE THAN ruby OF ATI.OK demos are not games but WHEN WE BUY OUR HARDWARE WE all SIT AND WATCH THEM ALL THE TIME TO MAKE US FEEL PROUD OF OUR PURCHASE and just on DEMOS I would go back to Nvidea

I really wish ATI and Nvidia would release more demos like this instead of the crap they have right now showing off tessellation that does nothing to improve the look of the graphics.
