doesn't an HD 5770 have 800 shaders vs wii u 160

Yeah, I think he meant to say 5550, that's what the Wii U's GPU seems to be based on. 


I wasn't comparing this GPU to the Wii U's. I used it to illustrate my point that even if something can use the features, it doesn't mean it will be able to use them well. The 5770 may be able to handle tesselation, but turn them on in conjonction with everything else running on a given modern engine, and you'll have crap poor performances. I used Tomb Raider as an example, since I saw it run on a 5770 and it did poorly with tesselation and tressFX turned on at even 720p.
