Correction on NVIDIA PDXLAN 19 Event: Still a Damp Squib
On Sunday (19/2) we ran a story on NVIDIA + Gearbox event on the sidelines of PDXLAN 19. Apparently we got the contents of the event inaccurate. We are sorry about that. NVIDIA wrote to us pointing that out, however, that correspondence did not contain details of what actually happened at the event so we could work on a correction, and so we were left to the mercy of Google. LegitReviews cited its NVIDIA representative (they differ between regions) as saying the event consisted of "...a Tegra 3/Transformer 2 session, a demonstration of Skyrim and Splashtop (same demo we showed at CES) and pizza. Lots of it." We based our story on reports from the attendees, we'll be more diligent with picking our sources in the future. Our analysis of the event being a damp squib doesn't change, when put into context of the hype built around it.

Anyway, I see no big deal. IT's news, and not all news is ever going to be 100% accurate, whether the source is questionable, the events were portrayed incorrectly, or the data that prompted the news has changed. I cannot count how many GPU or CPU news "rumours" were false. It's just the nature of news. Nobody is infalliable.
Thanks for clarifying what really happened. Now I'm a bit more irritated at NV/Gearbox for even building any hype at all if that is all it was. Can we have the lie back so we can justify time wasted on this event? ;)
So full of fail.
Where is the damn Kepler... I don't care nvidia/amd... had them both...
I need an upgrade... I need a price drop fast... :mad:
I am getting full of this PR pussy talk... :( it is like in a cheap Mexican TV series...
So thank you BTA for the formerly inaccurate news post, my week started off awesome because of it :toast:
seriously BTA you the man :rockout:
Safe for work version.
