Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and NOT drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to read them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. This hole is a janny playground, participation implies enthusiastic consent to being janny abused by unstable alcoholic bullies and loser nerds who have nothing better to do than banning you for any reason or no reason whatsoever.

It's probably a month before launch right? The AIB's must have started manufacturing coolers, boxes, designing marketing material and web pages specifically 4080 12GB, surely? Now Nvidia pulls a rebrand on them.
EVGA's decision keeps making more and more sense.

It's a 4070 with more RAM. Just look at the number of cores and performance versus the 30 series. Enough people called them out on their bullshit/didn't buy it for them to finally listen. It's no wonder that EVGA left

WTF, why didn't they just call it a 4070 Ti or something?

Cause they were trying to sell it for 900$, the gigasneed if they were selling xx70 class card for 900 and almost 100% price increase between generations would be massive.

Redditors being clueless again:
Nvidia settled a class action lawsuit in regard to their GTX 970 model which was advertized as having 4 GB VRAM when it really had 3.5 GB. Obviously, they don't want to repeat that mistake, but this happened six years ago, so it's way beyond their memory.
It's cute that they think "feedback" from posting on reddit somehow swayed their decision.

It had full 4GB but it hadn't the full memory interface that were actually advertised. And that's the reason why the last 1GB were slower and especially the last 512MB extraordinary slow.
Nvidias drivers just told every game like, PLEASE! I only have 3,5GB don't request more PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

If I was supreme judge, I would've thrown out the case. R-slurs can compare infographs of average FPS for games and GPUs, so consumers should either make an informed choice or suffer the consequences.

Yeah but the gimped '''4080''' specifically was getting shit on. Nobody is blowing $900 on such a weak card when 24GB 3090s are on the market for under a grand.

Nvidia don't go back on shit they decided on a week earlier, they were most likely getting killed in pre-orders after everyone was disgusting by how shit of a buy the 4080 was and decided they needed to do something asap

Dunno about you, but I'm looking forward to a 4080/4070. It's been so long since GPU prices were reasonable.

Nvidia's offers GPU's at different price tiers (5, 6, 7, 8, and 9-series being the best). They marketed a high end 7-series card as a lower end 8-series model. People read the specs and now Nvidia is "unlaunching" their own product just before the new units release. Also keep in mind Nvidia works with partners who market these cards -- this announcement screws them over, and comes at a time where the spotlight is on Nvidia for mistreating its "partners"

More context - Nvidia leaves their AIB partners in the dark a lot. Imagine having to develop and market a product around announcements you have no prior knowledge of. One long-time partner, EVGA, said they had enough. Sad day because EVGA offered the best units and service I'm told

AIB partner? I looked it up but the definition is pretty opaque.

"Add in board." They take Nvidia GPU's and repackage them under their own brand. Imagine if Audi, Mercedes, and Toyota all used the same engine and materials, with some tweaks and custom paint to differentiate their model. It's weird

PC chads, if i want to get the OLED 3440x1440 165hz monitor, and build a pc, should i get the 4080, 4090 or wait for price drops?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
4090 might end up being better value than 4080 if nothing else changes, if you have the disposable income for it might as well go for 4090. Price drops will probably happen but who knows how early, depends on how well the lower tier cards sell.
Keep in mind you need a big PC case, top of the line CPU and decent power supply to actually use and utilize 4090 though.
