AMD Radeon HD 7970 Tessellation Performance Apparently Huge

Looks like a slide showing the tessellation performance of the long-awaited AMD Radeon HD 7970 graphics card has finally appeared.

According to it, the card loads better than the Radeon HD 6970 in pretty much every instance particularly the games S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat and Crysis 2.

The Unigine Heaven benchmark difference goes ahead and beats the above comparisons by quite a bit too.

All in all, AMD is suggesting that the Radeon HD 7970 is about 50% better than its predecessor.

We suppose a faster GPU would indeed return a visible performance rise, but we don't know what to think about the 50% figure.

Not that we wouldn't like to see such a boost, far from it, but these are, in the end, AMD's own slides, so we'll go ahead and wait until we can see some more in-depth benchmarking results.
