I have the same question on my mind, and am waiting for the new cards to come out, and for the details on the game. I think tesselation should be important in a game like this, that hasn't been made for a console, but we'll have to wait and see what the developers were able to do.

nVIDIA is supposed to have a new desing that is aiming at gaming, so faster AND cooler, and ATI uses same technologie as 6800, but more of it on a single card....

I don't think the Cayman cards (69xx series) are expected to be the same technology as Barts (68xx series).

If you're after a top of the line card, you really have to wait until both sides release their cards, and if it is primarily for BoB, try and hold out for more information from Oleg.
