June 2010 HLSL Compiler Issue with Tessellation
direct3d, directx, hlslOriginally posted to Chuck Walbourn's Blog on MSDN,
One of our areas of focus for the DirectX SDK (June 2010) release was to make sure our samples supported Direct3D 11 hardware from NVIDIA, as we had previously only had AMD/ATI Direct3D 11 hardware to work with. There were a few issues that arose right around the release with the SubD11 and PNTriangles11 samples. At the time we thought it was related to the driver, but in fact it turned out to be due to tessellation shader related optimization issues in the June 2010 version of the HLSL complier.
A work-around is available and is described in the Microsoft Knowledge Base article #2448404.
