It says it supports DX9 and above, and openGL.

ATI Radeon HD 2xxx and higher or NVIDIA GeForce 7xxx and higher (recommended: NVIDIA 8800 / AMD 4800 series)

Looks like tesselation is the only thing that requires ATi hardware (I could be missing something else!).

i920@3.8GHz, Corsair Hydro, Asus P6T Dlx V2, 6GB Corsair DDR3 1600, Leadtek 280GTX & XFX 280GTX SLI, Corsair 1000W

Running it at 1920x1200.

Getting strange performance actually. The framerate jumps from 70 or so down to 40, hitches a little, and then spurts the missing frames and goes back to 70fps. Disabling SLI makes no difference, and Vsync just caps the max frames at 60.

Re: Unigine Heaven Benchmark - DX11 - download here!

I have only tried it on a 5870 and 5770 (what a card for the money!) and it runs very well. I will have to play about with some Nvidia hardware later.

Re: Unigine Heaven Benchmark - DX11 - download here!

Had the same effect in Crysis:Warhead so delved a little deeper. It was EVGA Precision polling the cards. Stopped that and the benchmark runs fine. Not as fine as on a 5870, but I can live with about 60fps.
