If you mean you need that quality in the viewport(tesselation,SSS,shadows...) and not because you're making a DX game, then OpenGL 4.x although to 10% slower in some conditions can do exactly the same, it's all about having the shaders to do it. the speed problem in Softimage is that it's compiling al the shader trees on the fly, the more you have, the longer it will be.
