Please do, I'm always open to enlightenment. Could you please explain your comment? :|
Another big guy is caught pants down. This is funny
Anyway, the smell that emanes from the presentation is that the performance of R420's flow control in ps3.0 is less than adequate or at least that is not up to par whith NV40's.
I also understand that they are trying to influence software designers not to use a feature of the SM3.0 spec in their benefit.
Current business tactics nowadays. They are just doing what everybody else. That does not exculpe them, though.
Regards.

If it is to slow to be useful then ATI made the right decision. If it is practical to use then nVidia made the right decision. Regardless, nVidia should at least be commended for releasing it for the benefit future development and giving developers a generation of lead time to accustom themselves with its implementation.

Sorry?
Try reading the PM I sent last night!
What exactly should they have ran it under the headline of though? I couldn't come up with a good one meself, this presentation raises more questions than answers I thought....although it's perfect for a juicy speculation thread during silly season.DaveBaumann said:MfA said:Hmm ... didnt go up on the news, as expected.

Depending on your MS-Office set-up, it will mark documents you've printed out as "changed" and hence -> save. The bloke probably just took a hardcopy of it, and hit all OK buttons that popped up.Unknown Soldier said:
Regarding the slides, or rather comments, themselves: they are just notes for the presentator, nothing more. You should see some of the crap I write down as notes / help-alongs for my presentations. If that stuff leaked, I'd probably acquire a new nick as Mr. FUD or Dr. Spindoctor ... I feel sorry for Richard. And I do hope that most people have enough presence of mind to distinguish between "ATI stuff" and "Huddy notes" ....

Was this presentation modified? Was the site hacked?
I had the document open and i did a "save as" to that mirror.
By default he put my name in the ppt.
I didn't modify anything, but you can confirm this with people who saw the original file.
Sorry, that was a little harsher than what I really wanted to say ... but it was the only thing I could think of which was short and sweet (and I like keeping short, although I didnt read the PM ... mea culpa).
I understand the tension field you are working in, hell if I worked at ATI I wouldn't want to be reminded of this snafu in public either (even though from a competitive stand point it is water under the bridge, all their competitors know). I just dislike the elitist attitude often shown on these boards towards sites like the register ... being independent and quick on the draw means getting it wrong often, but as we see sometimes just being impartial but not independent still does not let you report valid news.

I still have the original file, and I can confirm it.Psikotiko said:

i DO think that better ethics are, well, better, which is something you can't seem to admit.
And i DO want to encourage better ethics. I'm not going to give up - if we push for better ethics, i firmly belive we can have them.
Your attitude is pathetic.

Granted there are some members here who act elitist towards some of the "quicker" news sources, but I've never really seen any of the staff here dis them. (Unless they're flat-out wrong.

I think you owe him a bit of an apology.
There is no GDC ppt/pps anymore on ATI site - only pdf's . So this confirms version about unintentional leak of ppt 'comments'. But Richard's presentation is still absent. Btw, Richard presented it's previous version last month in Russia and there was no intentional 'trashing' on NV from his side - developers often done it by themself .
