Xmas said:Why would NVidia fans spread the rumour of R420 supporting SM3.0?
Don't stone me but it was me that made the initial comment over at NVnews.
It was in the hardware rumour forum and I made the comments in response to a post by someone else that said
Rumors are R42x will support everything from PS 3.0 and Vs 3.0 except branching
My comments were to point out that flow control had been "bumped down" to be included in PS_2_X and were not a PS3.0 only feature.
I can now see what Sxotty meant with his comments about JC answering e-mails - you only have to make one off hand comment on an obscure forum somewhere and it's all over the net being misquoted in 24 hours.
Anyway I hope I've cleared up my post over at Nvnews and you accept my apologies if it raised your hopes too much.
At least it gave something else to speculate about while waiting for the card
/ducks out of the thread and runs for cover.

PS - I'm not an Nvidia fan
