Of course this was successfull.... sure.... Better do not mention that profile and delete it until the download really works. Must be really hard to get it, maybe we wait till Nv sells DX11 hardware.

It all works and has been tested against unreleased copies, just waiting for the final build to be publicly released when the official download link will be dropped in.

@Michael

Then disable it till you can really use it!

[Melcar]

What's the big deal? I guess one could have released a "patch" of sorts latter on to activate the test. It looks a bit unprofessional the way it is, but I'm guessing it was done because either the test will be released shortly and/or to save time and effort.

[Kano]

The deal is that it is EXTRA annouced but not working. I would never accounce something which does NOT work.

[monraaf]

No, the deal is that I didn't even know about it until you brought it to my attention. Thanks a lot Kano!

With all the hype around this hardware tessellation thing, I may want to give it a try.
