[jvd]

now its gone from the front page too .

Oh no haha

 

[Tap In]

makes me wonder if he was told that he had a couple of "facts" VERY wrong and is only editing it to reissue.

 

[ringlord]

Someone must've brought the hammer down. Or else a friend he hadn't talked to told him he was wrong on some details!

Edit: scratch that looks like this may be the real reason:

"PS3 article is pulled for now because Anand is worried about MS tracing his anonymous insider."

Ecmaster76: Eh, something was messed up with the content management system. PS3 article is pulled for now because Anand is worried about MS tracing his anonymous insider.

So this was all based on the ramblings of one developer?

How do you figure that?

It's a source, not necessarily the only source.

Because thats what it says. "His anonymous insider" is far different than "one of his anonymous insiders" or "any of the anonymous insiders"

edit: I will admit that I could certainly be reading into it too much. He should choose his words more carefully if that is the case

Oh yeah, that'll help. Just pull the article and Microsoft is helpless. I mean, seriously, if it were that easy, why in heck did Anand put it up in the first place?

Teasy i disagree.

We have so much coming to the pcs that its not even funny . 3 gpus , dual gpus , ppus , dual core chips , more ram . I don't think the diffrence will be seen for awhile .

We have great engines like unreal 3 and what not coming , valve is working on a new engine , carmack is working on a new engine . While the consoles will be stuck on dx 9 , the gpus will be passing that up and in the interm will have crazy supped up dx 9 engines as the pc has had capable cards for 4 years or so now

The X360 GPU will support DirectX 10 when longhorn is release. ATi has also classified it as a "beyond shader model 3.0" card, meaning it will be able to take advantage of shader model 3.0+ when the times comes.

Maybe the people who built Internet Explorer and Windows don't know how to access their IE cache

Seriously, though, taking the article down and saying it's because they're afraid of an insider being discovered is much easier than taking it down due to possible action from MS/Sony, or worse, being proved totally wrong with factual results once the machines are released.

I call BS.

Well, hello Inane.

I can see a microsoft employee reading the article and then frantically hitting the Print Screen button.

the xenos or c1 will not be a dx 10 or wgf 2.0 gpu . At least it wont carry the proper requirements to be a wgf2.0 gpu .

Yes in some ways its beyond sm 3.0 but its baby steps .

It could happen.

In the Beyond 3D XENOS Demystified they said it had a whiff of possibly being WGF 2 compliant.

Whilst ostensibly Xenos has been hailed as a Shader Model 3.0 part, its capabilities don't fall directly inline with it and exceed it in some areas giving this more than a whiff of WGF2.0 (Windows Graphics Foundation 2.0 - the new name for DirectX Next / DirectX 10) about it.

 

[jvd]

yes and yet its not wgf 2.0 . There will be alot more than shaders added to the gpus to be wgf2.0 and the shaders will be much more than sm3.0 . While it may be close to wgf2.0 format its not , other wise ms would be using that in its campain .

Um actually, yes it will. Straight out of J Allard's mouth at E3.

Also Unified Shader Architecture is part of the wgf2.0.

Lol, real reason? Who are we kidding!? It was all the bad reception that the article received, it was all the people that started to show how alot of those "FACTS" were fundamentally wrong that made them trow the article to the trash can.

Not to mention: "PS3 article is pulled for now because Anand is worried about MS tracing his anonymous insider"

Yeah that makes alotta sense, and is it me or the article also bashed Cell?

The guy is just driving attentions away, blaming the one that already alotta people hates - MS. "Oh we didnt take the article down because it was a bunch of BS, but because EVIl MS is outhere to takes us down".
