What I want from next generation GPU & API

[Rodéric]

Why are they doomed to eternal underutilization?

Now that the GF8/9 are getting replaced they should become usable, I've not tested performance on new hardware though, so I can't guarantee anything.

GS is better on newer harder but still not particularly "fast". This is particularly true in the case of geometry amplification. So while the GS might be a whole lot more flexible compared to the tessellation shaders it's not really practical to use it for that scenario.
