          Proof? The SPUs are performing what shader operations they can because the GPU can't. To be clear, these are normal shader operations of a modern GPU that the RSX is deficient in. Can you tell the class how it is that the 360 can't do this stuff? If you had said "the Xenon can't do these things" I might roll with that, but I don't even know that is not true. I just know that there is no need for the Xenon to perform them when the Xenos can do them--because it can.
