Tessellation was earlier considered for Direct3D 10, but was later abandoned. GPUs such as Radeon R600 feature a tessellation engine that can be used with Direct3D 9/10 and OpenGL, but it's not compatible with Direct3D 11 (according to Microsoft). Older graphics hardware such as Radeon 8xxx, GeForce 3/4 had support for another form of tesselation (RT patches, N patches) but those technologies never saw substantial use. As such, their support was dropped from newer hardware.
As far as I'm not mistaken, the 4-year-old now 2900XT had support for tesselation. So, this might not be surprise that some old GPUs have some sort of ancient and primitive tessellation support implemented.

I know the older cards originally had support for it, but I thought the concept was abandoned simply due to lack of horsepower :\ I wasn't aware the R600 had a proper tessellation engine though.
So, apparently xbox can output tesselation, wasnt this DX11 feature??
No, Xenos GPU is an R500/R600 hybrid; one of the features shared with R600 are programmable tessellation units. ATI put those in to be DX10 compliant, and then MS decided to scrap Tessellation :E
So Hfric was almost right!!!?? Microsoft *are* bringing DX11 patches to the 360?
so
not only they are changing the xbox DVD format to version 3.0 to give more space to developers, updating they dae.ini to have new Ap in the Nand to stop piracy but also upgrading they tools to give more codemetal tools...
if next they will say its only possible on slims then i will get one
now that Samaritan Epic demo makes sense when they spoke they next UE will have tessellation
