TessMark, is small synthetic graphics benchmark focused on Tessellation performance of Direct3D 11 and OpenGL 4 capable cards.
Like Unigine Heaven, TessMark allows to select the level tessellation. The small difference is that TessMark proposes four differents levels:
- moderate
- normal
- extreme
- insane
Moderate and normal levels are levels we’ll find in real world applications like games. Extreme and insane levels are reserved for GPU's with much tessellation processing power. We tested today with moderate, normal, and extreme settings to get an indication of the tessellation scaling with each card.
Again with this synthetic tessellation benchmark the nVidia boards are out in front. We already know that this benchmark doesn’t really relate to real world gaming at this point in time, but it is interesting to note.
