Now that DX11-class graphics cards, like Radeon HD 5000 series or GeForce GTX 400 series, are more and more popular, it was time to release a new benchmark for these modern cards. This new GPU tool, called TessMark, is small synthetic graphics benchmark focused on one of the killer features of Direct3D 11 and OpenGL 4 capable cards, I mean the GPU tessellation.
Like Unigine Heaven, TessMark allows to select the level tessellation. The small difference is that TessMark proposes four differents levels (see the screenshots at the end of the post):
- 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 GPUs with much tessellation processing power and for the required touch of madness that a graphics benchmark must have 😉
[ TessMark Comparative Table ]
GTX 480 vs GTX 460 vs HD 5870 vs…
TessMark is an OpenGL 4 benchmark. That means you can play with GPU tessellation under Windows XP, Vista and Seven. Of course, you need a GeForce GTX 400 series or a Radeon HD 5000 Series. No GPU tessellation with previous generation of graphics cards!
Stop talking, here is the DOWNLOAD:

*** WARNING ***: there is a BUG in Catalyst 10.7 that prevents to use OpenGL 4 GPU tessellation on all Radeon HD 5800. Other Radeon like HD 5700 are not affected by this bug.
+++ UPDATE +++: the tessellation bug with Catalyst 10.7 + Radeon HD 5870 has been fixed in Catalyst 10.8.
The bug may lead to this rendering:
TessMark + HD 5870 + Catalyst 10.7
Since tessellation is fun, TessMark includes two sets of textures used by the tessellation shaders:
The key F2 allows to switch the rendering mode: wireframe of solid (default):
Moderate tessellation level
Normal tessellation level
Extreme tessellation level
Insane tessellation level
awesome!..been waiting for this!
thanks JeGX! 🙂
GTX470@750/1500/3800

Tessellation: Insane (99% GPU usage!! schweeet!)
SCORE: 3869 points
FPS: 65/66/65
Thanks for your score. I will post very shortly a comparative table. So don’t hesitate to post the scores for other tessellation levels.
..im getting a crash when i exit the render..only when Post FX is on
using 259.32 drivers..

@wackedman:
do you have sth. like MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision (i.e. RivaTuner statistics server) installed?
Then create an application profile with detection level=none

Just in case anyone wants to know this CCC 10.7 bug effects the ‘a’ hotfix as well.

yup that seemed to be the problem…
i knew setting 2D and 3D profiles in Afterburner would come back to bite me!
thanks guys

Hello, there’s a roach inside your program:

That seems quite low compared to other scores. What could be the problem?

Hi…
OK, here my stuff (2xGF580, SLI, Tesslevel=64 (insane, mapset=4 (2k*2k), benchmark 60 sec. only, obviuosly, as ever here in Switzerland having unusually lots of night temperature of 30°C, as today, and I will avoids any SoHD (Smoke of Hardware Dead), Resolution=1920×1080, fullscreen:
SCORE: 4810 points.
I don’t know if is good or bad, but until all my pc games are running smooth with all @ max, I will not buy new GPU stuff. Better buy big but clever at begin and you’re in peace the next 2-3 years, as to take some (apparently) cheaper solutions every 6 mounts, and them to deprimed …
