yay for tessellation + smoothed out models.

but i'm interested as to whether hardware tessellation can be applied to older games. like gta san andreas, for example. (pentagon steering wheels? really?)

Haha, it would some pretty extreme tessellation to iron out the corners in a pentagon steering wheel...

What I'd like to know is whether these things will require totally new hardware in the way DX10 did. Sounds a bit like driver based improvements unless the implementation of tesselation in particular requires dedicated hardware...

Good point about whether it needs new hardware, especially as I was about to buy a new card. I may hold off now.
