DX11 Tesselation in Older Titles

[Mulder19]

Will the new DX11 g-cards automatically tessellate DX9 and DX10/10.1 titles? In other words is tessellation an effect like AA which can be applied to (almost) all games or is it something the game devs must design their titles to support?

It might be something that the mod community can do though.

Dang, I was hoping to see some of the port induced blockiness in Bishock reduced.
